Jan 07, 2026New Year Celebration in Barcelo
We decided to spend our new Year with friends in Barcelo resort. The idea was to relax and little work in a meantime. In general it was ok but no internet on TVs and options to see the movies at night was an issue. Kids are great and we understand the families on vacation during that time but the walls of the rooms are so thin that you can hear the screaming children all the time even in your room. The issues with lounge chairs on the beach is super annoying. People were coming in the morning to reserve the chairs and leaving for 2-3 hours so when you come after breakfast to enjoy the beach no chairs are available, even the signs said not to reserve the chairs. The grass maintenance were happening during the day and smell from lawn cutter and noice were extremely disturbing. I would not recommend definitely New Year or Christmas time to visit.

Jan 07, 2026Good Stay Overall
My family and I stayed at the Barcelo over NYE. Overall we had a good experience. For the price, I'm not sure we got what we paid for. We did not upgrade to the "Premium Status." A couple items of note: I really disliked the reservation process for the restaurants and the lounge chairs by the beach/pool. We stayed for 7 nights and could only get into restaurants the last three nights because they were all booked when we inquired upon arrival. That being said, I would say we most likely would return but upgrade to the Premium for the benefits.

Fantasic all inclusive
Lots to see and do at the resort. I'm sure I'll be visiting it again. Food and service was great and catered to our group from 12 years to 80 years old

Great location and facility but not great customer service
Inability to get reservations at the à la carte restaurants was a real disappointment- we only got 1 reservation the whole time despite trying to schedule them the second we arrived. Customer service from guest services and other staff was mediocre and they just didn’t really seem to care to help is out in any way beyond the bare minimum. The resort had a lack of information available about activities and things to do. It’s really a shame, since the beach, pools, grounds and facilities are beautiful- would be nice if they were easier to navigate.

Jan 04, 2026Poor Customer Focus / Not Worth the Money
This is not a resort that I would ever consider going back to - premium prices for an average-at-best resort. Poor leadership and antiquated practices (eg. cannot accommodate large groups for dinners; they promote Premium level upcharge as having late checkout, yet none available when requested, etc). The food is poor, the drinks are watered down, the kids club is poorly organized and sparsely attended. The standards for customer service are poor.
