Thisnisbmy 2nd visit and food was fantastic. There were lots of issues with cleanliness and rudeness of some cleaners of the room. The entertainment was poor, pianist and very tinny sound in the theatre. Staff took plates far to quickly whilst others were still eating on the table and you had not finished your mouthful. Not sure I would chance another stay there. Pool great however and well structured with getting sun beds, never annissuenor shortages of beds
already booked again
very nice.definatley recommend.met sime nice people there and cant wait to go back

Overall prob best holiday weve had lovely hotel great food room great beach lovely place,will book again
Meh- would not rush back sadly.
One way to sum up our weeks family holiday is ‘the jury’s out’
Having visited Playa Blanca numerous times before with our two children, we felt given their ages (pre teen) we now needed a hotel that could offer them more stimulation.
On arrival, we paid for superior room with pool view however our room was a terrace room right at back of hotel- ie not sure the hotel should be marketing this room as a pool view. But it served its purpose for the week- lovely decor but open plan not ideal with growing kids so bear this in mind.
Pool- amazing- one of the main reasons we booked this hotel- fantastic size, temperature differences between the pools cater for all needs/preferences. Plenty of beds- these were comfy. Entertainment around the pool not too in your face but also didn’t feel our kids knew what was going on as didn’t recall seeing much promotion of this- yes there were speakers but it was hard to make out what was happening. Not biggest deal. Kids happy to have the space to swim/splash. Would say the paving around the pool is beginning to deteriorate quite a bit- sharp bits and stones underfoot, given the newness of this hotel something to keep on top of. Wind- yes bit of a wind tunnel through middle of hotel but it was welcomed in the heat. If it had been much cooler then I’d think this could prove to be a pain.
Evening entertainment- hugely disappointing. Amateur at best and not much for the older kids/teeens. Yes, there is teen room downstairs but wall climbing is geared more at smaller children given its size and so disappointing to see teenage entertainment consisted of gaming/screens. For hotel of this size had hoped more interactive group type activities would have been run.
One evening a fight broke out between a male guest and his partner. Both screaming at each other, drinks being thrown and their young son witness to it all. Very upsetting to see and we did not feel staff acted quickly enough. Eventually they did and the police arrived but again the situation should never have been allowed to reach the levels they did. Hope the wee boy is ok.
Location- great- short stroll to marina rubicon and nice length of walk into main town. Smell folk talk about not that bad.
Biggest disappointment of the week? The food.
Having stayed at a good number of Barcelos in the past this is by far the worst. Quality, variety and temperature all poor. One evening- Indian theme was quite frankly embarrassing. Very limited and it was same style food every night. We were so thankful we weren’t staying all inclusive. Also we were able to swap dinner for lunch so we could eat out. I’m also not fussy- not a family looking for gourmet food but selection of salads worst I’ve ever seen in a catered hotel!
Overall we had a nice week- pool, and quiet rooms allowed us to relax. Potential for this hotel but few areas need sharpened up if it is to continue to take pride of place along playa Blancas coastline.
