I've been going to the Barcelo' for at least 15 years now. This last trip was a real disappointment. I still love the hotel itsel, but the staff just does not seem to care like they used to. Checking in was difficult even though it was pre paid, and then the room service never answered their phone. I went down to the restaurant personally to order in my dinner,then I was told by a phone call that they were out of soda. How do they run out of that ? When covid was going on the service was actually much better. I still love the hotel and I will stay there again but I'm disappointed

Our stay here was truly amazing! The hotel is very clean, comfortable, and everybody we interacted with was extremely friendly. Most especially though was Dicster, during our stay he was incredibly helpful, polite, and went above and beyond when it came to helping us out. Couldn’t be happier with our choice of stay, we will most definitely be back again.
