    The Barcelo was excellent!

    We had a great time at the Barcelo! There were 11 of us, staying on the Royal Level. The staff was exceptional. Veronica at check in did an absolutely fantastic job, helping us with some unexpected hiccups and securing dinner reservations. The wait staff at the restaurant on the 9th floor was top notch -- Melvin, Jissette, Carolina, Karina, Jaime, and Maria greeted us warmly and made sure we had a great experience at every meal. A particular shout out to Armando at the Italian restaurant. He arranged for a cake for my mother's 80th birthday and went above and beyond with the seating arrangements. Aside from the staff, the resort was great! Gorgeous sand beach, clean and inviting pool area, excellent food, and clean/comfortable rooms. The only negative from our stay was something outside the hotel's control -- the insanely loud music until 2-3:00 a.m. from a nearby nightclub. Come and stay here, but bring earplugs if you want to sleep, especially on Friday & Saturday night!

    Not a Charm

    This was the third time we’ve stayed at the Barcelo in Aruba. It wasn’t a charm. When we arrived, we had to wait until 4 PM to get to our room and then we had to get online for a second time just to pick up the key.. On entering the room, it appeared the sheets were not fresh. And we were not able to get them replaced until the third night. We’re booked a deluxe poolside Ocean view, but because we were on the second floor, the restaurant obscured our view to the ocean. The food is average at the buffets, but the dinners we had at the Italian restaurant and the fish restaurant overlooking the ocean were excellent. As they say you get what you pay for and this was an economic vacation for us booked through JetBlue vacations.
