Too expensive for what you get. We had a pool villa, all inclusive. Initially not all restaurants were included, it was included afterwards. The quality and level of service is not matching the price. It may be worth the price for a basic bedroom or bungalow. We were there for New Year’s Eve and dinner was great. Nicely organized.

I stayed at Barcelo over the weekend, and it was such a beautiful place on Coconut Island with really good value for money. The room was just the right size, not too big, not too small, and I loved that every room comes with its own private pool at the back.

I stayed at Barcelo over the weekend, and it was such a beautiful place on Coconut Island with really good value for money. The room was just the right size, not too big, not too small, and I loved that every room comes with its own private pool at the back. Another highlight was the free 24-hour boat service to Phuket and the friendly staff who were always available to help. That really made the stay more convenient and enjoyable. However, I wasn’t happy with the service at the night restaurant. The Filipino staff there were quite rude, speaking in a harsh and loud way, which made the experience unpleasant. On the other hand, the Thai staff at breakfast were wonderful – very kind and polite, and they made me feel welcome. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and would recommend the resort, but I hope the service at the night restaurant can be improved. Read less
