Location
Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were nice and comfortable, thanks to great people like Sylvia, but the noise from late-night partying guests was disruptive. The service was good overall, but I found local taxis more convenient sometimes. The location was beautiful and well-maintained, offering a perfect place to relax. The dining experience was pleasant, especially the fruit at breakfast. However, the noise from other visitors who like to party late was a drawback.
Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms opened up to the pools and the gardens of the Sea of Cortez, which was lovely for a relaxing atmosphere, but unfortunately, my beachfront view was obstructed by the cement wall of the adjacent building. The service was friendly and accommodating, with staff making the effort to ensure my comfort. The location was truly amazing, with well-maintained pools and gardens, though service around the pool areas varied. Dining options were good overall, except for a minor issue with seating during breakfast. The facilities provided were satisfactory, enhancing the overall stay.
The hotel offers good value for the price paid, with flexible booking options for a pleasant stay. The rooms, though slightly out of date, served their purpose well for rest and preparation to explore the nightlife. The service, highlighted by friendly staff like Brian Castro and Marcos Fernandez, was exceptional, exceeding expectations. The location is neat and well-maintained, set near other resorts and with a quiet lounge suggestion for evening relaxation. The dining options were average, with breakfast not standing out compared to other Barcelo locations. Overall, a decent choice for the price, but may not warrant a return visit based on service experiences.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, with clean and cute rooms. The staff was incredibly friendly and always went the extra mile, making my experience extra special. The location was beautiful and well-maintained, perfect for a relaxing getaway.
The hotel offers clean and nice rooms, but it would benefit from more authentic Mexican decor. The service was exceptional, especially considering the language barrier in some areas. The location is superb, though could do without the loud activities at times. The dining experience varied but flavorful. Overall, the hotel provides good value for the money.
The hotel offers stunning ocean views and VIP meal plans, but some service aspects need improvement. The location is ideal for beach lovers, although not all amenities are easily accessible. Dining could be more varied, yet staff are cheerful and attentive.
