Jul 10, 2025Is okay.. the pool is clean and the beach
Check-in was a nightmare — only two front desk agents and a huge line of people waiting. The room was clean and nice. The beach and pool were also well maintained. The food was okay, like most resorts, but making a reservation at the restaurants was another nightmare. We stayed from Friday to Tuesday and were only able to get two reservations. The other days were completely booked, and the woman handling reservations was not helpful or willing to offer other options

Jul 08, 2025Great resort beautiful beach
This resort was my second all-inclusive resort during our holiday in Mexico. I was super happy with the resort. At night, we enjoyed the animation team performance. They have several restaurants to book for dinner, but buffet restaurant was always open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. 1. Food I did not have many complaints about the buffet restaurant. It has a great variety in food. I am not a picky eater. The fruits were fresh and tasty. 2. Room The room was outdated, but it was still ok for us. We have everything inside our room. The bed and pillows were comfortable. The bathroom is also spacious. The hot water and amenities were there for us. 3. Swimming pool The swimming pool was amazingly clean and also huge in size. 4. Beach The beach was super amazing. The water, the wind, and the sun were perfect! I loved it so much.

Amazing
Our time in the hotel was very pleasant. The staff, the food, the pool were excellent. The bed was very comfortable. We love the plantation of the hotel, workers keep the grass, plants and trees very green.

Great resort, but could use some improvements
The resort was beautiful. Beach was fantastic and so many activities. I would say that most places are understaffed there. The buffet was good, but the à la cartes left a lot to be desired. Check in staff wasn’t the most friendly either, but the rooms were nice.

Jul 07, 2025Barcelo Wedding Package was the best. Beautiful and fun hotel
This is an amazing place for couples, families or to host a wedding. We hosted a wedding and were beyond happy with the service, quality and staff for the price point . There is so much to do for kids and adults and the place is beautiful. They provide great entertainment, variety of food and restaurants and it is pristine and clean. It also is VERY safe feeling.
