What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Diverse Dining

The meal selection at Barcelo was very good, with something for everyone. I particularly enjoyed the array of options available, including hamburgers and hot dogs for those unsure about trying local cuisine. There was always hot food available, and the specialty restaurants were a good experience too.

Relaxing Beach Time

The beach at the hotel was fantastic, with perfectly clean, smooth sand. I loved being able to walk for miles along the shore. The pools were amazing too, never overcrowded and offering a refreshing escape from the sun. It truly made my vacation enjoyable!

I had a wonderful experience at this hotel with stunning views and lots of activities right by the beach, making it an ideal spot for families. The room was well-kept and comfortable, complete with a king-sized bed, but the dining options could use some improvement, especially in variety. I enjoyed the outdoor amenities and the proximity to the fishing spots and enticing beach. However, some premium services felt inconsistent, and I encountered a bit of attitude from some staff at the front desk, which dampened the otherwise lovely stay.
