The main area of concern is the food. Breakfast is ok, the Pool Bar food is quite good. The evening meal is at times inedible especially the chicken as it’s massively overcooked. The selection of cheese is poor. All the food is at best tepid. The hotel itself is clean and tidy and the majority of the staff especially customer service department/reception are friendly and helpful. Some bar staff/waiters are less so and barely crack a smile, I suspect it’s the long shifts. Despite rules and regulations about reserving sun beds, I seen no evidence of towels being removed after 30 minutes. At times getting a sun-bed was problematic. I suspect later in the season this gets worse. The smoking section by the pool bar was out of use during our stay which was not pointed out to us prior to arrival and the sun bed area above the pool bar was also out of bounds. The layout of the lines of chairs for the entertainment looks awful , why round tables and chairs can’t be used instead is beyond me, it resembles a doctor’s waiting room. Not appealing at all. The entertainment, however was very good especially the singer around the pool area on a Sunday. The water aerobics every day for 2 hours is very annoying especially as this appears to be open to none paying hotel guests and whilst this is taking place the pool cannot be used. The hotel is well located for local shops and the beach. All in all we will not be returning, chatting to other holiday makers who visit other Barcelo’s this particular hotel falls short of expectations. Shame as it could be fantastic.
