From the moment we first arrived at the hotel jetty via their courtesy boat, to the moment we left the hotel, everything about the resort was excellent. We used the hotel airport shuttle service which was easy to use and we were greeted with 2 bottles of chilled water in the back of the car awaiting us, which was most welcomed. Within the hour we arrived at the hotel boat transfer area which has its own 'hotel style' reception to greet you and explain the transfers process. Arriving at the island resort we were again welcomed by staff who then drove us to the reception by buggy. Check-in was very quick and easy. We were then taken to our room by buggy. Our room was spacious, very clean, and had everything you could think of (and more). The room was cleaned daily to a high standard, free bottles of drinking water were left daily, and clean towels were plentiful. All the staff are amazing and always greet you when you see or walk past them. Nothing is too much and they all wear a huge smile and seem happy to be working at the hotel. The inclusive breakfast. Well, what can I say. I was shocked by just how much choice was available. Again, everything you could think of (and more). From a juice bar, to hot buffet food, to an egg station, to cold meats and cheeses, to breads and pastries. An amazing selection. All other food we had at the resort was also very good quality. All the food is well looked after by the chefs, who you will see regularly emerging from the kitchen to check on food levels and also probing the food for temperature checks. The courtesy boat to and from the mainland was every hour and always ran bang on time. Never a problem booking onto the shuttle boat. The grounds of the hotel are also very well looked after (eg. hedges sculpted into elephant shapes). There is even a herb garden that you can walk around. We have stayed in numerous hotels, all around the world, and both me and my wife agree that this is one of the best resorts that we have ever stayed at. If I could give it 6 stars, I would. MY only issue was having to leave the resort and return home, I wish I could have stayed there forever. Read less

This hotel is fabulous but only due to the day to day teams of hard working, amazing staff who ensure every need is provided with a smile. Check in and check out staff ( Fon ) are wonderful and approachable at any time for help and advice. Rooms - ours was excellent (sea view pool room) a buggy will always take you and pick you up very quickly if needed. Restaurants - each different and all serving delicious food. Served by the best staff with amazing team leads. Ferry - very efficient. Book at reception for a ticket. Spa was amazing too. However! After a serious accident it suddenly became VERY clear that senior management have a LOT to learn from the middle managers and their teams of staff who make this hotel great. Staff who gave / give 100% and go above and beyond - Pla - incredible. Karen and Joy amazing. Ron Von Sea Mr Hassan Jack Ted Nisa Mac Fon Mack Kyle. Thank you all management are immensely lucky to have you. Read less

The staff were very friendly but there needs to be changes to make Barcelo a really lovey place to stay. The decision to make Barcelo a fantastic resort has to come from Managementment. Sleeping, Washing and food are fundamental issues when on holiday and if those areas are one of concern it means there will be concerns with everything else.. The staff can only work within the parameters of their role and responsibility. The procedures must be set out by those in positions of authority. Provide the staff with the right tools so that they can do their jobs better. They can only work with what they have been given. Read less
