"Our suite was spacious and comfortable. The location is convenient to many restaurants, food stands and bars. It’s about 10 minutes walk to the beach. The only small issue was that street noise was sometimes audible which didn’t bother me but could be a factor for light sleepers. "

"Number one, the staff was so nice! The place was very clean and it has a lot of space. Having a fridge, a kitchen, a washer and dryer when you travel makes a huge difference. It was in a great area near many restaurants and very close to the beach. I would definitely stay there again and again!"

"We had a great 7 night stay at Barcelo in November 2025. Our group of 10 were split into both towers. The standard rooms were larger than we expected and the family suite had two rooms and two bathrooms. We enjoyed the restaurants, but almost preferred the buffet as the options changed daily. The beach was small but beautiful and welcoming. There was so much shade covering the pool which was great for our group as none of us burnt!
The staff was probably the best part of the trip! Cesar in the Premium lounge was so welcoming and helpful in whatever we needed (including our daily Spanish lessons), the entire entertainment staff at the pool and evening shows (especially Fernando) kept our group busy, and Gerardo at the pool bar made sure we had a good time!
We met some friends from places near and far. The resort is small enough that you feel safe and recognize people throughout your stay.
We will be back and can’t wait to see the staff again! <3"
"Very romantic hotel we went to as a family but I didn't know that. The location was wonderful, resort was unique, clean, staff were helpful and kind and the food was really impressive and good. We only walked through the nearby town on our way to the shoreline hike so no comments on that. Hike is a challenge if you don't have good footwear but we made it to the first beach and took a boat back. Their pool area is stunning and the grounds are very well thought out with lots of privacy. We were all happy with the hotel!"
"This balcony has one of the best views I've ever seen. The room was clean the staff was great. If you want a place away from the busy city and enjoy a romantic time. This is the place. Would highly recommend."
"Such fantastic staff. Loved it. Don’t tell your friends about this place because it’s too good it must be gatekept. also be ready for lots of stairs "
"Such a hidden gem. This place is more than a stay. It's an experience. Things to note are that you have to take a small boat to reach the property so pack light. The nature and beach are beautiful. The rooms are comfortable, clean and the perfect blend of shelter and being one with nature. The restaurant on site is superb with quality organic ingredients that create art on a plate. Staff is friendly, approachable and super helpful. Can't wait to come back. "
