The Barcelo Whale Laggon is just a paradise on earth! we tried both the water villa sunset and the beach villa suite sunset, and it was 2 marvellous experience. Food proposed in the all inclusive is just a wonder of taste! All the team of the hotel and the dive center is just perfect, always looking for small details, and helping during the stay. The resort is good size, not too big, not too small, a perfect stay, thank you for all the Barcelo team for that great experience!
