We arrived on November 28th and were treated very well by staff from the get-go. That said, we were suppose to have a king size bed but had two 3/4's instead. They did agree to change the bed the next day but it was on the lower level and the view sucked so we stuck with what we had which... more

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Barceló Cayo Santa Maria from November 7 - 14th. This vacation was amazing from start to finish!
