Overall, I liked my stay. The bed was comfortable and the proximity to the beach was great. Unfortunately, I found it difficult to find fresh food (e.g., groceries) within walking distance. Eating at the hotel's restaurant was the only option. The buffet was ok, but did not have as many healthy choices as I would have hoped. Also, there were some inconsistencies in pricing (the front desk mentioned 19 euros for the breakfast, my Expedia booking said 10 euros, and I was charged either 10 or 15 depending on the day). The gym was also relatively nice, although the air conditioning did not work well. The windows were open the four times I went, and the room was very humid and hot, unfortunately.

Nuestra estancia en este hotel fue absolutamente excepcional y superó todas las expectativas. Desde el momento en que llegamos, el servicio fue impecable; el personal no solo fue increíblemente atento y profesional, sino que también se anticipó a todas nuestras necesidades, haciéndonos sentir bienvenidos y cuidados en todo momento.

Las instalaciones son de primera clase. Todo el hotel, desde las habitaciones hasta las áreas comunes, está diseñado con un gusto exquisito y se mantiene en perfectas condiciones. Es un lugar que combina lujo con comodidad, creando un ambiente ideal para relajarse y disfrutar.

Finalmente, la comida merece una mención especial. Cada plato que probamos fue una delicia culinaria, preparado con ingredientes de alta calidad y una presentación digna de los mejores restaurantes. La variedad y el sabor de la oferta gastronómica fueron, sin duda, uno de los puntos más altos de nuestra experiencia.

Recomiendo este hotel al 100% y estamos deseando volver.

Laid back beautiful property. While it is summer in the USA, it was not considered summer season in early June while we were there. Low staff and some activities and pools not full hours. The staff that was there was patient, welcoming and very professional. We would come again! Also, the lobby and our room smelled amazing! Some sort of jasmine scent? Whatever it was, it was a very nice scent

Disappointing

Both large pools closed without notice and also the pool snack bar making a large outdoor area worthless. SPA booking App did not work saying everything was booked for weeks ahead. Breakfast room dirty and disorganised and food only passable despite relatively low hotel occupancy. Staff (except cleaners) unfriendly. Was not even asked how the stay was when leaving. Booked a junior suite that overlooked roofs with solar panels and the side of the balcony overlooked all the hotel bins and area where restaurant staff congregated to chat and smoke. Every night staff emptied glass bottles and rubbish well after 10pm in the bins making an awful noise. Overall, a lovely spacious room, but poor service, amenities and rather low quality.

The hotel is ok, the staff is very friendly and effective. However, norms for the COVID protection are not really enforced, in particular at the restaurant. In addition to that, the rules governing the use of swimming pools are not respected, there are children everywhere. Early in the morning the noise starts, with the cleaning staff trolleys circulating. The noise level in the restaurant is extremely high and nobody cares.

The walk was a little bit of a hike to the beach. Since it was off-season, we had the beach to ourselves. The beach was very hot, the sand was dark and grainy. The view was very nice. The resort is perfect for a family in season. It has a nice laid back private feel.

I’ve been to to this hotel last year everything was perfect . So I booked again this time with my 32 yr old son asked for superior deluke room with 2 single beds when I arrived the room was small with a king size bed note my last visit the superior deluke was bigger better All round . Add reception 3 times the first time the lady appolagised as she noted the request on the booking . All that was done the double bed that 2 separate covers put on them so my son slept on the sofa bed for the price of nearly £ 400 sorry just not good enough . There was a wedding on at the bottom bar area so only one bar open in the main hotel with just one person serving again totally unexceptable . I’m sorry to say I will not book this hotel again

Went there as a last minute decision due to an issue in our original itinerary that forced us to detour. The hotel and room were very nice and spacious, and the bed was very comfortable. In terms of location, there isn’t much around, though. You would need to
take the bus into town to see the sights and for dining options, otherwise, your only option is to eat at the hotel, which is pricey at the restaurant. We ate at the lobby bar which was a bit more reasonably priced, but average quality. For an all-inclusive vacation, it would be pretty fun since the pools are beautiful, and the beach is very close-by, plus in the one night that we stayed they had lots of activities, but if you are looking more for an adventure, there isn’t really much to do in the immediate area.

Second Time Around

We stayed here in February and liked it so much that we came back for my husband's birthday. It was so peaceful and relaxing on our last visit that we assumed it would be the same this time. Unfortunately, there were a couple of really noisy groups staying on our second visit who got louder and louder as the evening wore on. The acoustics in the bar and dining room seemed to amplify the already loud noise and it became so uncomfortable that we went to our room. Otherwise it was as good as before. The reception staff deserve particular mention as they are unfailingly helpful and welcoming, and always make each guest feel special. The chefs are also fantastic. I need a gluten free and lactose free diet and the chef on duty always found time to go through the menu to ensure that I knew exactly what was suitable. The only small criticism I had was that the shower cubicle leaked all over the bathroom floor,and the toilet roll holder looked as if a good clean would not go amiss. Otherwise, the room was great and the bed so comfortable that it was a pleasure to go to sleep!!
I would definitely go back a third time.

This was the third hotel I stayed at during my trip. Hotel is fairly modern, everything is clean and crisp. Views of the ocean were beautiful. Staff was very nice, my Espanol is lackluster, to say the least, but I was able to make due. Most of the staff also speak English. Fun fact the room service food is decent but I am not sure they follow a standard recipe. I order two items on two different days and they were made noticeably different.

Somewhat mediocre experience. This property certainly doesn’t match the brand standards I’ve experienced at other Barcelo hotels. Staffing levels are poor, service is patchy across all departments from housekeeping to front desk. The in-house restaurant has *some* good produce and dishes but on the whole it’s disappointing. The rooms and public areas aren’t in anyway offensive in terms of 4* but certainly don’t book if you want decent food, drink or service. It’s basically a package holiday resort hotel masquerading as something it’s not.

Nice hotel but a bit rundown on the outside and the surrounding beach area. This hotel caters to all-inclusive so food and beverage prices are a bit high.

Excellent accommodation and location.

Located inside a private development (host of the 2005 mediterranean games) called El Toyo, the hotel is the perfect choice in matters of access to and from the airport /Almeria/Parque de Gata eco park. A taxi ride from the airport to the hotel will cost 20 Euros-fixed price as taxi drivers will refuse point blank to switch on the meter. Alternatively, have a bus ride @1.10 euro from outside the airport. Accomodation is good- linen and towels are first class, pools are spacious and never crowded.The hotel also offer leisure activities around the clock. If deciding to go to the beach head to playa de la Fabrequilla which is inside the eco park -20
minutes ride by car. Cant fault anything. Great stay.

Hiking in the Cabo de gata

The hotel itself is very nice but you need to drive to locations you want to visit. not a bad drive to San Jose to hike or to some of the local beaches. We went in early June and the local towns were pretty deserted. The beach is not nice here but down the road they are much sandier. The staff were accommodating and friendly. The rooms are very spacious with a nice view and there were several pools for swimming. Lots of small children with activities for them if you have a young family. The breakfast buffet was nice. The comfort in the room was hampered by the lack of air conditioning in the wee hours of the morning. Other than that it was quite good, spacious, a very large bed and a sofa. A nice patio with view. We spent our days exploring hiking to beaches around San Jose.

I stayed 2 nights at this hotel. It is far from any amnities,the water in the shower was connected the other way around not as indicated. And the hotel wasn't full, but they put me in between 2 families with young kids. Not the relaxing time I was looking for ! You'll be better of in San José !

Beach resort in the middle of no where

The Barcelo is a family oriented beach resort in a area of development with other similar properties. It is lovely but once you are there you are there. The beach is pebble and rocky. Great place to sit and do nothing at all.
