Acceptable for business stay

Restaurant was buffet style and above average. Staff was pleasant and helpful. AC in the room was underwhelming and non existent at some times causing me to awake in the middle of the night sweating. The rooms were clean and presentable.

Habitaciones amplias y muy limpias, buenas vistas al campo de golf y excelente atención de todos los trabajadores del hotel. Lo único malo es que el parking que estaba completamente vacío era de pago, un detalle que no nos gustó para una cadena de hoteles del nivel de Barceló. El desayuno tipo buffet tiene gran variedad y calidad

The hotel was very nice and clean! The food inside the hotel restaurants was amazing and at a decent price. However, the room became very hot at night time. The golf course view from the room was amazing. Playing the course was decently priced as well. Plenty of parking and in a very quiet location. The only complaint would be the a/c not working at night.

Tiene muy buenas calidades, instalaciones, personal súper amable y todo perfecto excepto el servicio de buffet. Cogí media pensión pensando que iba a ser como el de playa ballena o el del best hotel de la zona. Nos gustaría probar este hotel este fin de semana y nuestra sorpresa fue la comida pésima de calidad casi todo congelado. Además de muy poca variedad y platos frios Por todo lo demás muy bien pero la comida deja un poco que desear.

Das Hotel hat unsere Erwartungen leider nicht erfüllt. Im Zimmer angekommen waren diverse Mängel vorhanden (Klospülung defekt, die Beleuchtung fiel aus, Betten bewegten sich hin und her da auf Rollen, Klimaanlage könnte nicht geregelt werden, etc.). Der „Front Desk“ war mitsamt das unfreundlichste und arroganteste das wir auf unsere 10 tägigen Reise getroffen haben und hat erst mit Nachdruck auf Beschwerden reagiert. Wir geben dieses Hotel definitiv keine 4 Sterne.

Trevligt och prisvärt, lugnt läge

Fint och lugnt läge vid golfbanan. Allmänt trevlig och serviceinriktad personal. Bekväma rum och mycket bra sängar. Tyvärr små trånga uteplatser. Poolerna öppnar sent. Frukost varierad och bra. Saknade dock mörkt bröd. Logistiken fungerade bra. Hög ljudnivå i matsalen. Tyvärr ingen servering av frukost utomhus, trots att vädret var utmärkt. En av servitörerna var också petig med att vi inte efter frukost fick ta ut kaffe i annat än pappersmuggar (inte porslinskoppar) på terassen. Middagsbuffén tyckte vi också var varierad, men samma anmärkning som ovan. Trots en utomhustemperatur på mellan 20-25 grader och strålande sol fanns ingen möjlighet att äta middagen utomhus. Vi åt mest fisk och var inte helt nöja med det kött som tillagades. En prisvärd sak till middagen var hotellets drink package. Två personer 11 Euro för en flaska av husets röda, vita eller rosé vin, alternativt två glas per person av valfri dryck. Många i personalen talade tyvärr inget annat språk än engelska.

Hotel que podría ser mucho más de lo que es. Los trabajadores son súper amables y cercanos, pero El socorrista inexistente (la chica que había SI hacía su trabajo), pasaba la mayor parte del tiempo perdido y sin atender la piscina, dejaba a los niños salpicar y molestar mediante gritos y juegos a todas las personas que estaban allí para descansar y relajarse, personas haciendo top less delante de niños y no pasaba nada. Respecto a la cubertería, 1 de cada dos cubiertos sucios, repugnante. Los espectáculos de noche, cutres y en horario de 22 a 23 h, hora a la que en ESPAÑA solemos cenar; y después de eso a dormir, porque no hay nada más que puedas hacer. Llegue con buenas expectativas pero no se han cumplido en absoluto. Voy con pensión completa y ahora tengo que pagar la bebida que pida, que una botella de agua de grifo te la ponen por 3,2 €. No se le ponen normas a las personas que vienen de fuera y al final lo pagamos las personas que vamos a relajarnos con nuestra familia o pareja, ya que al final, ni nos relajamos ni disfrutamos. En resumen, no vuelvo a ir, decepción y dinero tirado a la basura, te toman por tonto y te inflan el precio de los servicios que ofrecen, en mi caso.

If the very helpful Concha had not been at this hotel then the stay would have had a minus figure for a review. Concha’s hard work and conscientiousness was limited by the people around her. The reception desk was mostly helpful but some not: 1. On enquiry about the semi-inclusive option Nadia told me it was available only to group bookings. A later enquiry directed at another clerk explained the daily rate and minimum requirement of a 7 night subscription. 2. We had repeated issues with vegetarian meals - Nadia was short and unhelpful. Daily restaurant issues - unsuitable for vegetarian All standard options were for non-veg. I had to make a request every morning. 1. Some days I had just a salad. 2. Given a plate of uncooked bland tofu. 3. plant-based burger and other plant-based items with a few veg. 4. wraps with roasted vegetables and bland tofu but no seasoning whatsoever. 5. One day reception told me that it was not possible to cater for a vegetarian. 6. One good meal - lasagne It was very much a a luck of the draw on who was at reception and who was in the kitchen. Hotel Room -AC did not work (fixed on day 2) but very ineffective. The room was warm; no option to adjust the AC controls. Suitability for families? Kids club is seasonal. nothing for young children to do. If you have a car you could find activities; without a car you could easily spend Euro100 per day on taxi alone. Restaurant opens at 7.30pm - too late for young children.

Es la tercera vez que me alojo en este hotel, y en esta ocasión la experiencia no ha sido tan positiva como en las dos ocasiones anteriores. A nuestra llegada nos anunciaron que éramos los clientes VIP del día y tendríamos unas amenities en la habitación. Cuando llegamos a la habitación, había una bolsa de patatas fritas y una de almendras del minibar encima de una repisa, acompañadas de una carta de la Dirección del hotel. Esas eran las amenities por ser VIP. Habría sido mejor no hacer nada, la verdad. Al comunicarlo al responsable como feedback constructivo, tomaron nota, pero tampoco hicieron nada al respecto. La calidad del buffet ha bajado mucho. El tomate triturado era de lata a granel, la leche sin lactosa tenías que calentártela tú mismo en el microondas porque los camareros no servían nada en la mesa, y los productos sin gluten estaban todos metidos en una cesta a modo de revoltijo, abiertos y con papel de film como si fueran de uso particular. Una vergüenza para ser un Barceló de 4 estrellas. Al comentarlo al encargado del comedor, su respuesta fue: así es como se hace aquí. Y se quedó tan tranquilo. Cada vez que alguien de las habitaciones colindantes salía de su habitación, nuestras camas vibraban como si hubiera un terremoto. También lo comunicamos para que Mantenimiento revisara las puertas, pero nada se hizo al respecto. Las instalaciones están bien, y siempre fue un hotel agradable, pero claramente la dirección y gestión ha cambiado, y no está a la altura.
