Room was great, very clean, but customer service is lacking for this very expensive hotel. I wanted to add one day before my check in date and could not do it in person at the hotel. Everything is online so that means no money stays in Cabo Verde.

When booking this, please understand that there is no way this is going to be a four-star hotel as this hotel is rated on Expedia. I thought when booking this hotel, just maybe it could be a good three-star hotel.

I booked this hotel several weeks in advance. What we were given was a first-floor room with a window that was half full of sand all over it, which made it difficult to see much of anything outside the room. You could hear bad wind shear in this room, and to top it all off, you were given a room next to both the stairwell and elevator. I made mention to hotel staff, who were slightly defensive about the issue; however, they did give me a new room, which was located on the second floor. I had this room up until later at night; I'll get back to why we had this room for only a portion of a day. I informed the assistant manager (very tall woman) about the new issues with this room. On Expedia, every room is titled 'Deluxe Room'; there is a slight difference in what you get and what you pay. I informed the assistant manager that my booking was the larger listed deluxe room, noting a couch and more openness (two ways to enter the bathroom). Limited to 1500 words here, so, changed to three rooms (never happened to me before). Lovely looking pool is COLD, between 68 -71 degrees during my stay; Not heated, saw no more than 8 people during entire stay in in, only one in it past 15 minutes. Breakfast awas old, over rype and other issues. Poor all around hotel, stray dogs

This is an exceptional hotel, absolutely the hotel to stay in Praia. Beautiful rooms and great views. Very friendly staff. I will recognize some hotel staff who were fantastic. Rui, the shuttle driver was superb. Elvis, the waiter and Karine, waitress had exceptional service and were very friendly. Soraya at the front desk was very good. And Andrea, the guest services representative was quite friendly and helpful, as was the guy that works with her at the front desk. A beautiful hotel with great staff and superb food. Eating breakfast with fantastic views, was quite nice.

Barcelo is a true 5 star property. The hotel has wonderful attention to detail such as an ocean view from the shower amongst many other well thought out design and aesthetic elements. It's unobstructed sea views make Barcelo truly special and the sumptuous breakfast buffet is not to be missed. I booked the place on a whim not knowing much about Praia and Cape Verde on the whole and Barcelo Praia is world class by any standards across the globe. A true oasis to enjoy.The entire staff is also fabulous, super helpful and pleasant.
