"The hotel is set in a beautiful location with stunning views, and the rooms were clean, comfortable, and well maintained. Unfortunately, the overall experience fell far short of what I would expect from a five-star all-inclusive resort.
The biggest disappointment was the food. The quality was poor, with meals feeling mass-produced and lacking the standard, variety, and freshness that should accompany a five-star offering. The main restaurant was also extremely noisy, making it difficult to enjoy a relaxed dining experience.
The entertainment provided little value and was underwhelming throughout our stay. In addition, some of the finer details that distinguish a true five-star hotel were noticeably absent. For example, fresh bottled water was not replenished daily in the room, which is a basic amenity many guests would expect.
While the property itself is attractive and the accommodation comfortable, the overall experience did not justify its five-star rating. If you are looking for a genuine luxury all-inclusive experience, I would recommend considering other options."
"This hotel would be great if it wasn’t for a couple of things.
The pools close early. Sun goes down at 9pm, but all amenities are closed at 6pm. When you are done exploring for the day, the amenities are closed when you want to use them most.
The room needs renovation. The pillows were terrible and the bed is stiff as a board.
Parking is a nightmare. They advertise that they have parking, but it was sold out all 5 nights. The only other viable option is at the casino. It’s right next door and the same price nightly, but there are no in and out privileges. This leaves you having to plan your day around only leaving once, which limits your ability to leave multiple times a day. Don’t advertise that you have parking if it is always full.
Other than that, great hotel. Beautiful views. And beautiful pools when they are open."
"Amazing place. The staff were so friendly and helpful. My room was lovely and cleaned every day. I went through so many bottles of water which were supplied by the hotel.
It’s a nice walk into the main area with bars and restaurants. Easy to get a pickup for an excursion too. I really enjoyed my time at this hotel!"
"The staff was very helpful, especially Rodrigue and Rachel also, the property was well maintained and very clean. I enjoyed the breakfast very much. It had a lot of variety.The only thing I disliked was the pool deck was under construction, and there was a sewer smell on the property other than that I enjoyed my stay."
"The Barcelo is the perfect place to stay. It is close to the water front, cathedral, main town. The oldest street and cable car are just a five minute walk.
The hotel itself is lovely. Breakfast is delicious and the buffet selection well stocked. Staff are really friendly and helpful.
The rooftop pool, although not very deep, is lovely to cool down in. The views from the rooftop are delightful in the day and night.
Definitely worth staying here."
