Very empty resort and no environment. Food was okay

I like the walking distance from the beach.I didn't like how they showed pictures of the premium room that included a jacuzzi it was disappointing it was just pictures false advertising.

Above and beyond expectations. Fabulous trip!

Great pools, friendly staff, close access to beach & clean safe rooms. Food was below average, very loud club music all day, long wait lines to check in & concierge. Waited 1 hour in line to make dinner reservations with concierge, just to be told all restaurants are overbooked.

This was our first trip to Cabo and absolutely loved it. The hotel was very nicely kept and the grounds were beautiful. The best was the staff! All were so nice and very helpful. Would not think twice about staying here again! A big thank you to the whole Staff!!!

I do not understand the bad reviews. For the price or the hotel I feel like we got what we paid for. Pros: cleanliness, helpful staff, beautiful grounds, not too crowded, VIP bartender and food on the weekends, proximity to nearby attractions and close to airport. Cons: limited food options during the week. My husband and I booked a last-minute honeymoon and we really enjoyed our stay. I would recommend for budget conscious people that are more concerned with a clean, beautiful environment and care less about food. Get the VIP package. It’s worth it. You can’t drink anywhere else before 11am.

Staff was great. Everything was clean. Food was great but making reservations was time consuming.

The employees were all so helpful and friendly..location made it very easy to get to San Jose and only 20 minute by uber to San Lucas

This hotel was awesome and beautiful view of beach and mountains. The staff very friendly and polite.The only complaint I have is about the buffet food by pool and breakfast. They can definitely do a better and give a more of a variety.

Would definitely stay here again! The hotel was clean and well maintained. The staff were friendly and very helpful. Would definitely choose premium level again. Food was good at all buffets and restaurants.

The staff was super friendly. At the premium desk Luis is an excellent example of the Barcelo’s welcoming staff.

It is Ok .

Fabulous resort and fantastic staff

This property is old and not updated. Lost of missing tiles in the pool, I got cut pretty bad on my rear while trying to sit in the jacuzzi pool and was bleeding from sharp edges on broken tiles. Staff didnt really care at all. Cant swim in the beach, way too choppy. The Italian restaurant was not accommodating to our party of 12 and made us sit separately even though they had a big enough table for us. The pool on our first day ran out of pool towels so we didnt have any pool towels. You cant do reservations for the 2 restaurants upon check in, you have to wait in line daily at 830 to be able to get a reservation. Technically they dont do those until 9 am but the line gets big fast
