We stayed here with our kids and had a wonderful experience. The easy walk from the pool to the beach was especially convenient while traveling with children. Having a kitchen in the room made our stay more comfortable, and we appreciated that the hotel never felt overcrowded. Overall, it was a relaxing, family-friendly place that we would happily recommend.

8.6/10 Excellent! (324 reviews)
Everything was amazing, the rooms were huge and kept perfectly clean. The staff at both the bars and restaurant so so friendly and couldn’t do enough for you. The choice of pools, where you could go to the party pool with pool bar, pool games, sports on all day or choose the more relaxed infinity pool again with a lovely pool bar. Although plenty of sun-beds, to request 150 dollars a day to use a cabana was extortionate and they pretty much remained empty, which was understandable at that price. We’ve been to lesser hotels and have been free to hire. The entertainment team also deserve a special mention as work so hard and are brilliant at what they do. The only real negative was during our last 5 days there seemed to be a heavy focus on a corporate event (200 people) which meant it got very busy at the four al a carte restaurants in the evening. However they operated a waiting list system with a buzzer and we never waited longer than 30 mins for a table.

Property was kept clean by hard working staff. Food was excellent at all venues. Staff was courteous and helpful. Beach was the highlight of our trip. Overall, we think this all inclusive resort is our best so far. The only question i have is why do we always have to ask beach staff to setup the needed loungers instead of having each palapas prepared in advance with 2 loungers. Wouldn't that serve the customers better? Unless you do it this way to solicit customers to give more tips. I noticed other properties are ready with chairs and loungers ahead of beach opening time.

Had a great one week stay at the Barcelo. Clean rooms, pleasant staff for the most part. The location can’t be beat. Right on Palm beach and across from a vibrant shop and food area. The food at the resort was okay, do not expect gourmet offerings and you will not be disappointed. Will be back.
