    Not the Barcelo we remembered.

    We went in 2019 to celebrate my birthday and had an amazing time. Due to covid and other circumstances we had to delay our return until 2025. We were so looking forward to receiving the same 5 star treatment we experienced in 2019. Unfortunately our experience was anything BUT VIP. We were promised a private car to take us from the airport - it never arrived and we had to beg a ride from another van going to our resort. Our ocean view room was amazing, but the cleaning standards have definitely gone downhill. We requested extra washcloths (and tipped well) and received 0 washcloths as a result. Luckily we had brought some from home and eventually they did put the requited two back in our room. The fridge in our room was never refilled despite calling the front desk and the VIP concierge and requesting it. Any issues that we brought up were completely ignored. The staff at the Chez Gourmet was dismissive (bordering on rude) and the food was cold both nights that we ate there. We were assured by the AirTransat staff that we would be picked up and taken to the airport, but once again we were forgotten and after waiting over an hour, had to get a cab and race to the airport in order to catch our flight. We are still trying to get our money back for the cab fare. We spoke to other guest at the hotel pool who agreed that the resort has gone downhill and needs an update - the bathrooms are especially bad. We will definitely not be returning.

    Nice in pictures, disappointing in person

    The beach was terrific and drinks tasted great. Having said that, the food was often lukewarm and the only swim-up bar was at the family part of the hotel. The bathtub/shower combo was dated, and the hotel room furniture was a bit dated--who uses wicker? The view from our superior ocean-view room was blocked by a hedge, which really limited the view. In summary, we won't return.

    Third Year in a row

    As always, the beach is amazing. The staff if very helpful and attentive. THe food is pretty good for the most part; I feel like the rooms are in need of some updates. The bedding and pillows are amazing. This is a great spot that i will keep coming back to.

    Happy to return to this resort.

    Resort was beautiful. No complaints other than lack of communication with the staff. Hotel needs to hired English speaking staff so that we can better understand each other. Would definitely recommend the resort to my family and friends.
