Bad last impression and nighttime entertainment, not worth the money
Second time at the hotel, first time during high season, and we had a lovely time in the main, but the nighttime entertainment was really poor apart from one night when they had the Money Makers who were sensational - more of that sort of thing would go a long way.
Reason for such a low rating, the life guards were on their phones often, not watching the young kids and checking out the receptionist said we had not paid for our stay (one week all inclusive) - I nearly had a heart attack and even though I knew I had paid, had me doubting myself. Receptionist Julie was really unpleasant, when I finally found my internet banking proof, she backtracked and said I was only asking you a question, had you paid, which was not the case she was saying that I hadn't paid and wouldn't let me leave until I proved I had, nearly missing our flight. Very unfortunate end to our holiday, that wiped out the feeling of having relaxed in an instant. Take proof of payment! Not a cheap and cheerful place, you expect more for the price.

Great family holiday. Would return anytime again
We had a great time as a family and enjoyed our stay very much. I would recommend this hotel to anyone. It’s a great place and beautiful. Staff was super helpful, all of them. We will certainly return.
The best family stay
Great Hotel, the stuff was super nice and polite. We all felt very comfortable. Especially Anas was amazing, he gave us so many good recommendations for our stay so it was perfect for the whole family:)) Huge recommend for all the future guests
Mixed. Really wanted to like this.
We arrived around midday and didnt realise you had to take a ticket to check-in. Maybe thats our fault, but i had never seen that in other hotels we stayed in. We queued for around 30-45 mins. The receptionists had seen us queuing the whole time. When we got to the desk, we where told by the lady "You need a ticket! people are waiting". I think if she was even a little bit more polite, it would have been ok, but first impressions are a big thing and this wasnt a good start. On a positive note, we were not waiting too long after getting a ticket and our room was ready.
Room was very clean. It was the family room. Room was very very small. We have to sit our cases on the small table (nowhere else to sit them). Balcony was tiny (two seater table but realistically, you wouldnt fit two people. if you where making use of the small close airer.
On a positive. The house keeping staff were great. Really friendly and rooms were really clean.
Hotel was right across from the beach. We spent one of the days there and it was great.
Daytime entertainment was really focused on the pool at the front of the hotel. We only managed to get a lounger there one day (towards the evening). Trying to get a sunbed was a nightmare. If you didnt get up and queue in the morning, your only option was to try and find one on the grass. This was the same for the pool at the rear. We spent most of the time on the longers on the grass and you had insects flying around, mud on your feet (because of them being we coming from the pool) and ants. The pools themselves were good.
If you wanted a seat for the night entertainment, you needed to be seated around 9pm or before (start of kids disco). Lucklily, we had the kids so we were normally there at the that time.
The biggest disappointed and was really what drove me to this review was the Barcelo photography. We where approached at the pool by on the Photo reps. He told us that they take some family pics and that if you wanted to buy, it was 12 euro for the first print and if you want others, there is a discount applied. It was our last day and the photos took around 20 mins just outside the hotel. I was sick a little later in the day (headache), so my wife went down that evening to get a couple of prints. Or just grab them as digital. The girl told here it would be 380 euro for the digital photos and didnt present an option to print. My wife was really taken back by the price and felt she had to buy because the girl dealing with her mentioned it was late and we needed to get someone picked. So she hand picked 25 photos as digital download (no prints) and was charged 185 euro. Completely ridiculous price and was the very last action we had with the hotel before check out the next morning. We felt completely let down by this.
