The area was quiet, the beach was clean and peaceful but I did not like that I had to pay additional to get the 24 hr room service or to attend the fancy restaurants at night. This did not show on the description when booking with Orbitz.
They don’t have air conditioning, they’re using coolers 😕
Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would stay there again. The resort was very clean and staff were friendly and efficient. Food was average. We liked our room and the beds were very comfortable. They did have on site Covid testing. Communication regarding the testing could be improved- a written handout in English would have been nice.
Beautiful place clean delicious food, employees very polite ..they make you feel welcome from day one to last day ..
What makes this property great... is the people. We have been going to this spot for many years. The biggest reason we keep coming back is because of the people. We always feel well taken care of.
I REALLY LIKED EVERYTHING THE STAFF WAS REALLY HELPULL AND FRIENDLY
I reserved a king bed and they did not have one for me. I had to argue about that I paid for a king therefore I should get a King bed. They did not offer any compensation either. The staff wasn’t very friendly one helping. I will not book with Barceló again. They tried to upscale us on the premium access and stuck us on the lowest floor next to the club and the restaurant. It was very noisy as well.
LOVE IT! Everyone was very polite, food was awesome. First time there but will not be he last. I truly recommend this place for your next vacations, so much to do 1 week was not enough. The shows at the hotel were fantastic. For sure made us feel welcome and at home.
Nice hotel, friendly staff but terrible food except for the Italian restaurant and room service. They also ran out of towels.
Loved the view, loved the room. Evening buffet was questionable.
The shower didn’t drain...over flowed water into bathroom. Room next door under construction. Difficult to get reservations for decent restaurants. Pool area full. Paid for oremiun all-inclusive but they still wanted to change $12/day WiFi and $20 for a pool towel. Had to wait in line a long time to check in. Room keys died once a day. Had to wait in line for new ones. Had to wait in line to make meal reservations, etc. a lot of wasted time rather than relaxing. Breakfast buffet was amazing. Itialian restaurant was great food and great service. So wasn’t all bad. Good location. Apeople were nice.
The high light of this stay is the wonderful personnel that just don't stop until you are happy. You have options all day to great tasting food. The shows are a plus. we are already planning a return trip..... :) :( too bad they don't have a good WI-FI system but, then again you go on holiday to disconnect from the rest of the world..
Overall the hotel and the staff met our expectations, very good food and service. On the negative side WiFi should have been included in the price like most hotels chains. The restaurant Veranda due to the heat and humidity should have some ventilation fans installed.
Great restaurants in the hotel!! Location was wonderful, on the beach and close to market! Open bar was great! Well maintained hotel!! )
Overall we were very pleased. However, we feel there could have been more choices of food. Also, the adult pool had many children in it on the weekend, and the parents did not control their behavior. The parents were too busy getting more drinks for themselves at the pool bar. Some of the kids were obnoxious and the parents could not care less. There are no signs posted adults only, and the guests that come in on the weekend go right to that pool with their kids.Also there should be more daytime games at poolside.
WE ALWAYS HAVE A WONDERFUL TIME. STAFF IS ALWAYS FRIENDLY AND VERY HELPFUL
