Barcelo Maya Grand Resort Unveils Amusement Park

WHY IT RATES: The Barcelo Maya Grand Resort will debut Riviera Maya’s first and only amusement park within a hotel. —Mia Taylor, TravelPulse Senior Writer.


Barcelo Maya Grand Resort has always been one of Riviera Maya’s most fun vacation destinations. But in March 2019, the all-inclusive resort (comprised of Barcelo Maya Beach, Barcelo Maya Caribe, Barcelo Maya Colonial, Barcelo Maya Tropical, and the all-suite, AAA Four-Diamond Barcelo Maya Palace) will take things to the next level with the opening of Ventura Fly & Ride Park.

This new addition will make Barcel Maya Grand Resort the first and only Riviera Maya resort with its very own adventure park.

And it’s not just any adventure park. To be open year-round from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m., Ventura Fly & Ride Park (made up of two areas, Ventura Fly and Ventura Ride) offers thrilling attractions and experiences for the whole family at an additional cost.

Ventura Fly is packed with high-altitude excitement.

—Seven airborne ziplines send riders flying above the park’s palm trees

—AquaZip, a soaring zip line, ends with a “splash” landing

—Tarzania, a hybrid zipline/roller coaster, suspends riders below a rail that travels 1,247 feet

—Plane Coaster, a gravity-driven roller coaster that begins from an altitude of almost 100 feet, zooms around the circuit, offering stunning views of the Caribbean Sea and the Mayan Jungle

—Parachute Landing is a unique free-fall experience from 35 feet above the ground

—Bungee Swing, a giant swing, starts with participants stepping off of an airplane wing from an altitude of almost 35 feet

—16-foot-high rope courses challenge you to make it from one side to the other

—Netland is a closed circuit of bridges and slides, perfect for young adventurers.

Meanwhile, Ventura Ride delivers more down-to-earth (but no less high speed) fun

—Off-Road Polaris, Polaris Ace Vehicles deliver agility and precision on a challenging closed off-road circuit, allowing both adult and kid drivers to experience the thrill of precision driving.

—GO KARTS DRIFTS with single and double seaters features more than 1,200 feet of bends and curves that will get your heart racing

—Quad Cycle offers pedal power to the max, with 4-wheel vehicles that are a blast to drive around a curvy closed-circuit track

“Ventura Fly & Ride Park is a major addition to Barcelo Maya Grand Resort, greatly increasing its appeal as a family friendly Riviera Maya vacation spot,” said Stefania Ballotta, director of sales and marketing at Barcelo Maya Grand Resort. “When the amusement park opens this March, the resort will become an even more exceptional destination to play and stay at.”

Barcelo Maya Grand Resort is surrounded by a lush jungle and the clear, turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea on almost two miles of pristine white-sand beach.

As part of their all-inclusive experience, you can access the facilities of up to all five properties, including 22 restaurants, 10 pools, three theatres, three water parks, a dolphinarium, bowling alley and much more.
