I recently visited Mexico on June 2008 and I stayed in the Barceló Costa hotel. Barceló Costa is situated on the hotel zone in Cancun. The hotel zone is built along the beach so each hotel has got their own section along the beach with a beach bar and sun loungers. The hotel is near Cancun town which has bars, nightclubs, restaurants and shopping markets and a 5 minute bus trip which costs around 30pence GBP to get to.
The hotel staff are very helpful and pleasant for example if you are lying on the beach there is one or two staff serving your drinks so there is no need to get off your seat. The staff in the restaurants is also helpful and can't do enough for you.
The rooms are very spacious and decorated very modern. There is a king-size bed in the double room with a large television. The bathroom is also very spacious with a large shower. The rooms are cleaned everyday by maids and they fill your minibar if you have taken anything out of it free of charge if you are an all inclusive guest.
There are 3 restaurants. One that is a buffet and you can eat as much as you want, it has a great selection and the food tastes great. There is also an Italian restaurant if you want pizza or salads which is a little more posh and also tastes great. If you want to try a little Mexican there is also a restaurant that will be a little more cultured and the food is amazing.
There is also a pool area with sun loungers around it. The pool is quite big and clean with a shallow part for those who can't swim.
Overall Barceló Costa is a must see it's clean, the staff are helpful and the food is good. It's easy to get into town with the buses leaving every 10 minutes from outside of your hotel so if you going to Mexico I would highly recommend this hotel.
