Also wanted to say the steak house was very good and the food wasn’t bad. Sixto and Damien and darinel were great and so nice to me and my group the hospitality here is great.
Awesome food awesome service, best at the resort! Thanks Juliana!!
Steakhouse was amazing and service was awesome, best we have had at the resort!
Amazing service
Manuel arzos was so amazing. Had a great time! Definitely want to come back!!!!
I wouldn’t mess with this place. The reservations department is a complete scam and were terrible to work with. Not worth it.
We were treated wonderfully by Guillermo Hernandez in the buffet. Every morning he remembered us and would take such good care of us, bringing coffee and mimosas to us and was always cheerful and talked with us.
See you April 3rd. Back for a 3rd time
Excellent Mexico Lindo, great service and exquisite food. Thanks to Abraham for his cordiality in his attention!
Excellent service in a nice Mexican restaurant, very delicious food and very good attention from Abraham, by far the best in Plata del Carmen, Marquesita the best
Mexico Linda, excellent restaurant, the best marquesitas and tacos with excellent service from Abraham
Salvador was the best of everything in Barcelo. I love Mexico London produces it's here. It was fabulous.
Booked a trip for 4. Daughters friend decided to join us. Tried adding her to our room that already has 4. They wanted to double the price. For a 16 year old. In same room.
Idiots.
Beautiful vacation and location to go. Don't waste any time and book 😄
Unfortunately I can only rate it with 1 star.
The hotel keeps dolphins in a small pool...that is animal cruelty!
No animal can be kept humanely in captivity.
Anyone who supports something like this, be it booking a hotel like this or visiting any dolphinarium/zoo, is supporting this animal cruelty.
Beautiful resort. Beautiful beach. Lots of room at beaches and pools. Food was abundant and good. Highly recommend this place
Everything luxury
I spent 5 days at Barcelo. The buffets are very varied there is a lot of choice. The restaurant we sat in was very good. The sports bar is open 24 hours and there is a club that closes at 2 a.m. During the days there is a little activity, but the resort is quiet, it is mainly families or older people. There is a swimming pool reserved for adults too. This is my first experience in a resort and I really enjoyed it.
No daytime entertainment, no music by the pools, front desk staff not friendly
Beautiful beach
Overall good just not great. The rooms were normal which is expected, nice bathrooms. Floor was greasy the entire stay.
The buffet had a gigantic selection, that you walk in and seat yourself at. Always had a ton of fresh fruit and salad bars.
Unfortunately and consistently the service was lacking across the resort. Getting a drink (water or beer) in the dining room is very hit and miss. Luckily they have open juice pop stations to help yourself.
There was only 1 bartender servicing the only pool bar. There is no service on the beach. There are no pool snacks either (my fav).
Ample amount of moving shade on the beach from the palm trees which I loved. You know how hard it is to find an unused umbrella. Lots of beach chairs to go around thankfully.
Huge theatre that could seat hundreds of guests for shows, but again only seemed to be 1 bartender working.
Booked a tour through the hotel for cenotes, cave, and ruins tour which was fabulous. Would recommend. $150ish per person and well worth it.
No valid complaints, just personal preference. Try for yourself!
