We were greeted at the reservation desk by a sweet girl named Amie. She was super nice and very informative. Our rooms were gorgeous - Ocean View in building 17. Worth the extra money for Ocean View.

This was our first visit to Barcela Marina Palace. We will definitely NOT return to this hotel. We stayed at the 5* Iberostar Laguna Azul the last time, which was absolutely amazing. This time we decided to spend less money, which was a mistake. Three of us got salmonella from the food. Fortunately it was towards the end of our... More

As usual, I was a little leery about out vacation at Marina Palace due to the terrible reviews that I read before leaving. Also, as usual, I was happily surprised by the resort. I am not sure if I stayed at the same place that the negative reviewers did, because my family and I found none of the complaints that... More

I just got back home from Barcelo Marina Palace. I stayed there with two of my friends for a week. It was our graduation trip. We had a lovely time. If I could rate the hotel 3.5 stars, I would. I would say the resort is a little above average, but if you go with good friends, you will have... More
