Nov 10, 2025Great resort
We had a wonderful week at the resort! The food, bars, amenities, pools and the beach are great! Only wish they could clean the seaweed after storms more quickly.

Nov 09, 2025Some things going for it, but will need convincing to return
We stayed at the resort in early November 2025. Overall, it's a decent resort (I'd say an average 4*), but several issues make me hesitant to go back or recommend to others. 1. Family rooms are located in the building with no elevator. Seems counter intuitive with babies, strollers, and 4 flights of stairs. The room was large and clean, but we had issues with the toilet (not resolved, even though we reported) and balcony door latches (also reported, but not sure the person taking the report understood what I was asking for,). 2. Staff are super friendly, but most do not speak anything other than Spanish. Google translate seemed to do the trick, but beware. WiFi coverage outside the rooms is spotty, so download your Spanish translator before you head out. 3. AC and electricity. Electricity went out several times a day every day of our stay. Usually for a few seconds, but a couple of times for up to 10 minutes. Not the worst (don't get stuck in an elevator) but AC in the room did not automatically restart following an outage. Wake up in a boiling room in 3-2-1, repeat in a couple of hours. Get back from a morning on the beach to a room that is way too hot for a toddler to sleep. Credit where due, when AC was on, it was frozen cold. 4. One of the two main pools was closed for maintenance during our stay which was a major inconvenience for us, as it was next to the baby pool and we were hoping to locate between the two and use both. No such luck. We were not offered any compensation for this. 5. Buffets are average. Nobody got sick, but it wasn't stellar. Some decent steak and great baked chicken for dinner. No crazy lines at any food station. Waitstaff are spread thin and there are not enough of them, especially during early breakfast service. On occasion we would spend the entire breakfast (with a very slow-eating toddler) having no interaction with staff, including water, plate removal, or anything else. If you want a drink with dinner, bring from a bar. Better wine and faster service. 6. Specialty restaurants: Kyoto hibachi - good food, entertaining enough, slow to start, but good service, toddler got scared. Hot as hell. There has got to be some worker protection law that was violated for how hot it was in that place. Santa Fe - avoid at all costs. Slow, bland, bad. 7. Daily removal of seaweed on the beach was good, the beach was clean. 8. SLIPPERY TILES AROUND POOLS, BEWARE.

Nov 09, 2025Disinterested staff
The facility, its location and the buildings and grounds were all very nice. Unfortunately, Barcelo has done a poor job of teaching and supervising quality customer service. Most of the staff don’t care and this made our vacation very average…

Beach and ocean
We knew, what to expect: amazing beach, beautiful ocean. A light breeze makes the air pleasant and not hot.
