    The beach at Barcelo was absolutely stunning, with crystal clear waters and soft sand. We enjoyed relaxing by the pool and taking in the beautiful nature surrounding the resort. The activities and shows provided entertainment throughout our stay. we had a great time and would recommend this hotel for a tropical getaway.

    The bathroom needs more care

    gardens and great amount of nature in which the hotel is immersed.

    1. I think there's a missing rug in the bathroom, there's a rubber mat to put either in the tub or on the floor, it has holes and water still runs off, so the whole bathroom floor gets wet when you go out. At least one beer should be included in the mini-bar. 3. There are a lot of flies in the restaurant. food is not clean, people mix up the spoons and you see beans in the meat or rice in the salad. variety is hardly noticeable. attention was not the best, sometimes they give you the cutlery but not the napkin, they give you the fresh ones and then the cutlery. 4. What I liked the least was that I noticed on several occasions that the employees were arguing in front of the customers. On Friday at the disco, they were arranging lunch, a girl and another one are shouting and fighting ugly, I was by the chairs of the beach and heard everything, I found it very annoying, see that. Then right there at dinner at night, they scolded a guy because he didn't take the dirty dishes cart, he was taking out tablecloths on another table, of course you notice all that. 5. In the corridors to the 300s rooms, there is little light, if there are streetlights, at night that area gets very dark. 6. At the reception, it's time to go out, there is a long line, people go out and those who come in, you should: 1 or change in one minute the hours of check in and check out, that people who go out are only the main person in the room who makes the line, all the families with all the bags there move very slowly everything.

    The beachfront location was amazing, with beautiful views and easy access for a swim. The spaciousness of the resort was also a plus, as there was plenty of room to relax and enjoy the surroundings. the wildlife in the area was a pleasant surprise, with various animals freely roaming the grounds.

    The room cleanliness left much to be desired. It seemed like the room hadn't been properly updated in years, and it was not up to the standards I would expect from a hotel.

    Great location, great facilities, staff very friendly and eager, food good.

    Room not clean on arrival, WiFi in 4 star hotel not free of charge and still did not work, promised conversation with the manager never took place despite urgency.

    I liked the very comfortable room, the place itself, I liked the very nice food.

    I think they can provide better customer service, and with simple things, if you pay an all-inclusive should be all-inclusive not that everything you want to do you charge more example internet, pool table, gym and spa, are things that other hotels have and do not charge you for each of them, also should let the bus cobano that goes directly to the hotel will not generate any problem if not more will draw the attention of other passengers, potential customers. Or make a pedestrian crossing with a roof from the hotel to the exit, this because there are people who do not like to get sunburned or wet with rain and this roof minimizes that error. Another improvement you can have, I went like 3 times for beach towels and never had, please measure the capacity of the hotel.
