Beautiful resort, we booked five villas each with private swimming pool. The whole family, children partners and grandchildren stayed for 10 nights in July which is low season. The renovation works are ongoing but this didn’t really impact our stay apart from one restaurant being closed. The other three restaurants were available to our package and there were few exceptions on the menus not included but we could choose these at half price if we wished. The food choices and quality were excellent. The service was mostly very good bar a few minor hitches when requests were perhaps lost in translation. The resort facilities, pools, slides, beach with free use of kayaks, hobie cats and sups were lovely. The resort spa was an oasis of peace and pampering with free use of hydrotherapy pool for adults only. The younger children made good use of the kids club, the older ones the gym. There were a few free excursions and several extra options. Some more worthwhile than others. Read less

We have just spent 15 nights at the resort and have had a truly relaxing and memorable holiday! Our 2 bedroom family bungalow suited our needs really well for 2 adults and 2 teens and we all slept really well for the full 15 nights. We were hoping for a fortnight of relaxation and that’s exactly what we got! For a family that normally gets bored of an all inclusive menu after about 3 days, we all thought that the food was great and plenty of choice in all restaurants on the all inclusive menus! It is true that some restaurants did have some paid options, at a 50% mark down if you were all inclusive, but there was plenty on the menus on the AI menu to choose from for each meal. We spent most days at the Laku beach club, and were looked after really well by Von and Kim, who went above and beyond! The breakfast buffet was extensive with lots of choice for everyone and the morning egg station was a highlight! The trips ran by the hotel were more expensive than those that could be organised privately from the mainland, but were well worth it, and Ron was great tour guide! Our visit to Phi Phi Island, Maya bay and the elephant sanctuary were definitely highlights of this trip! The resort maybe has a a wee but of work to do to become truly 5 star buts that all about the finer detail - and nothing that detracted from our wonderful holiday. We would definitely love to come back! Read less

Beautiful lobby, pool area and restaurants and bar areas, but the garden villas are a bit old and not on the standard of zhe rest of the resort.

We were a family of 5 booked this all inclusive package to Barcelo. We absolutely loved our stay. The service was excellent. The food was always of high quality, with a variety of dishes offered. We did the all-inclusive package, which was perfect. The amount of food and drink options was amazing. We loved the massages, the SPA was a beautiful place. We stayed in a spacious, renovated 2 bedroom villa that was perfect for our family of five. It was comfortable, clean, and very relaxing, the pool was ideal. Special thanks to Hasan, Andrew, Ted, and the rest of the staff who were very thoughtful and caring during out stay. Andrew at the bar was excellent. Hasan at front desk very helpful and Ted in activities excellent. Every detail was thoughtfully managed, the bed pillow was one of my highlights, so comfy. The all-inclusive option was great value for our family, 3 teenage boys definitely got good value, and the cocktails / mocktails delicious. We did the James Bond tour from the hotel, which was good fun, and a 1/2 day trip into Patong for some shopping and a meal. We had a fantastic time and would highly recommend Barcelo Coconut Island to anyone looking for an island getaway Read less
