terrific location right on the beach - sunsets to die for as you get the sun reflecting onto the wet sun as it goes down so you get 2 sunsets for the price of mun. and what sands - beautiful. hotel is stunning. designed to blend in with the natural surroundings it is fabulous. rooms overlooking the sand dunes are...

Stayed a week half board- staff friendly - hotel clean - food okay but could have been hotter- in fairness there was a microwave for customer use- Entertainment team worked hard- Hotel was right on the beach More

Hotel was full when we arrived as it was during the Easter holidays. Plenty going on and lots of choice of food. However, straight after the break when it became quiet, there was far less food choice. More

I didn´t appreciate that much the hotel as it is just gigantic. The corredors never end, and all the size turns it cold and not that "spanish".

We had just come from a rather unique 2* hotel in El Rocio and were looking forward to some r& r in the sun. Whilst the weather was not the hotel's fault, the service and food certainly were.

Only negative was the wine at meals - only the red was acceptable. Situation was idyllic for the time of year - empty beaches that were really amazing to... More

I don't think all Barcelo Hotels are the same standard. Food good could always get something you liked, large rooms and pool was fantastic. Air conditioning didn't work properly, was in a group and everyone was the same, also tour leader said at end of holiday. Hotel staff were not too friendly, first hotel 4* in Europe that I came...

What a fortunate switch !! This hotel was great - location and the best and most varied food you... More
