  This resort is so-so

  first of all, this resort isn't bad but it isnt the greatest either, but it also far from a so called "luxorious", during my stay they were so many things that needed enhancement but also many things that I liked For starters, the room I had (411) when I used the shower and turned the faucet to warm/hot water the water was still cold, another thing wrong about the rooms is that they are dusty and I had to spend an hour cleaning my room from dust since I was coughing non-stop. The most terrible thing of the entire resort is the customer service, during my last 2 days of Barcelo Monterlimar, I waited nearly 3 hours for laundry pickup and they took my clothes until the very next day. They told me that they were going to give it to me at exactly 8 AM yet I waited until 1 PM for my clothes and it was my very last day there, they had the audacity to charge me 15 dollars rather than apologize and not charge me. However from this resort, the things that I do like is the staff they are very friendly and kind, the food has much improved since the last I was there, and the beach was a true highlight of the entire visit, I do think people who gives it a one star are those who are being very dramatic. though this resort is not bad or good it just needs a lot of improvement.

  Has gone downhill

  Montelimar used to be a high quality all inclusive resort - it isn't now. If you are a foreigner, I would recommend somewhere else. It is not the quality you would expect for an all inclusive resort. Literally didn't have toilet paper in two different public area bathrooms during my one night stay. There were a bunch of other things that sucked, but too many to list here.

  SO MANY NEGATIVES! STAY HOME? MONTREAL QUEBEC to BARCELO MONTELMAR NICARAGUA

  MONTREAL QUEBEC to BARCELO MONTELMAR NICARAGUA The Inaugral flight from Montreal Quebec is just a week away. I'd like all Sunwing travellers to this resort to confirm if all the negatives are still true. Should we all just stay home and avoid this resort? LOCATION: It's a 1 and a half, to 2 hour transfer from the Airport over bumpy pot holed roads. RECEPTION: You better be able to speak Spanish as that's about all you get! ROOMS: Old, musty, and tired rooms, with large flying cockroach, and Ants sneaking under your door and in your bathroom sink. FOOD: NO A LA CARTE RESTAURANTS ANYMORE! THER IS ONE BUFFET RESTAUANT ONLY! Unbelievable that for Lunch and Dinner you actually have to line up outside iin the heat like cattle with over 100 fellow guess!!! Then you wait between 45 minutes to an hour and a half just to get your food, and then hope that you get a table with utensils!!! FOOD SERVICE MUST BE FIXED!!! The food itself is shredded unidentifiable dishes. Hardly any Protein at all. By the time you get to it, it's a messy mush tray, or gone. DRINKS: Bottom shelf alcohol, Proper drink mixes for Pinas, and Daqs unavailable. Enjoy your Orange Fantas all week. DO NOT DRINK THE WATER!!! So with The Inaugral flight from Montreal Quebec now just a week away, and Barcelo teaming up with a major new partner in Sunwing, has BARCELO cleaned up their game at all??? I'd like all Sunwing travellers to this resort to confirm if all the negatives are still true. I think travellers should stay home or find an alternative place to stay! Should we all just stay home and avoid this resort? POOLS: Okay, look clean but many many unsupervised local Weekend Day Pass Spanish children seem to appear on the weekends, and are loud and obnoxious! Pool Bathrooms lack toilet paper...no kidding....so people use them, and then later handle communal tongs, in the Buffet...enjoy your food poisoning! BEACH: Looks beautiful, but dangerous rip tides and undertow if you venture out in the surf. As others have mentioned, there is a safer quieter gentler spot at the ends BUT it is full of debris, rope, garbage...yuck!

  The gym review

  I think it’s excellent that they rebuilt the gym and added machines. They need to promote it more tho, is open 24/7 and is included with the stay

  Birthday vacation

  The place is nice, the pools are clean the service is also pleasant, the only thing is that the variety of food for dinner and lunch isn't so good .the best thing about buffet is the breakfast, it would be good to have better seasoning in the lunches and dinners to provide excellent service.
