Barceló Maya Grand Resort is already one of Riviera Maya’s greatest destinations. But in December 2019, the all-inclusive resort complex will become one of the largest ones in the Riviera Maya with the completion of the Barceló Maya Riviera, a new exclusive adults-only, all-inclusive resort. Even more, the resort's new Barceló Maya Arena will be the largest convention center in the Riviera Maya region. A combined investment of $250 million-dollar has been allocated to this expansion project.
