2/10 Terrible

The Barcelo' was a run down All Inclusive. Look hard when viewing the beach area. There is a marginal one at best. It is a cove and marina combined. Yes you are swimming with a roped off area next to boat motors. The guests that entered the water and came to shore all suffered bug bites, similar to swimmers itch.
Room had limited towel service.
Our hotel floor #3 had the fire alarms go off three nights in a row. We were told multiple times they were testing, (me-retired firefighter) no testing is done at 10pm at night especially in a hotel. The final night we insisted a manager come with maintenance to check it out. Conclusion NO working alarm system, it was taped to the wall. If a true fire were to happen no one even knew the alarms were even going off to alert a fire department.
Food and drinks only okay. If you do not upgrade to premium room package you have limited reservation times for dinner. Also you are only allowed 3 restaurant reservations for a week vacation. The rest of the meals are done in the buffet. Drinks watered down, even morning juices. Again only upgraded room got you better alcohol.
Only positive the staff was very friendly.
If you are looking for a destination beach vacation this will be a very disappointing unsafe choice for all Inclusive.
