8/10 Good
"My second time at the Barcelo resorts, the property was beautiful as always and well maintained even through seaweed season. We really enjoyed the amenities such as the Spa/HydroTherapy, Water Sports, and the A La Carte restaurants. We do want to note that our jacuzzi tub on the balcony was broken, we stayed on the second floor, our first night we tried using the tub and it was leaking so bad that water was leaking down to the first floor room that had a swim up pool. Some staff were amazing, however we had an unusual amount of rude encounters when asking questions and most often during our “late” dinner reservations, specifically in Sapporo (Japanese restaurant in the Adults only) and Caribe (Caribbean restaurant in the Palace). The hours were strange and it seemed everything closed earlier than what has been previously experienced here as well as other resorts. The late night room service menu did not compensate for early closures as it only offered 4-5 items. Air conditioning in the room wasn’t as strong as we would have preferred but it was also extremely hot during our stay. Likely we will not be back to this specific resort."

"We had a wonderful stay and were genuinely impressed by the hotel, the beautiful property, and the incredible attention to detail throughout. The art, installations, architecture, and overall design made the entire experience feel unique and thoughtfully curated. Everything was beautifully maintained, and we especially appreciated the high quality of the food and drinks. We had a fantastic time and left with many wonderful memories. The only area for improvement would be the frequent sales pitches for additional services, tours, memberships, and other paid experiences. While we understand that these offerings are part of the resort’s business, being approached so often made certain moments feel less relaxing and comfortable. At a property of this caliber, we would have appreciated a more subtle, personalized approach that allows guests to fully enjoy their stay without feeling pressured to purchase extras. Overall, it is a truly impressive property with so much to offer, and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. With a more discreet approach to upselling, the guest experience would be even better."
