The room was amazing and clean. The hotel was well looked after and in an lovely place. Probably the wrong time of year for something to eat in the area.

Nice Beach Resort

The hotel is in a great location outside of the city. There is a beautiful park right along the ocean. It is a great place to walk and enjoy the sea. The facility is well-maintained and has a delicious breakfast buffet..

Disappointing

Both large pools closed without notice and also the pool snack bar making a large outdoor area worthless. SPA booking App did not work saying everything was booked for weeks ahead. Breakfast room dirty and disorganised and food only passable despite relatively low hotel occupancy. Staff (except cleaners) unfriendly. Was not even asked how the stay was when leaving. Booked a junior suite that overlooked roofs with solar panels and the side of the balcony overlooked all the hotel bins and area where restaurant staff congregated to chat and smoke. Every night staff emptied glass bottles and rubbish well after 10pm in the bins making an awful noise. Overall, a lovely spacious room, but poor service, amenities and rather low quality.

Nice location and staff very friendly. Buffet Food was a bit lacking but the bar food was really good!

Comfortable stay

The view!

Great place ,definitely we coming back!

Every thing was great, the food, the people from the hotel. Except the Air conditioning, the room was hot.

Wish we’d stayed a week instead of one night.

Quiet and peaceful

Very ok, nothing to do around, old facilities, limited choices in breakfast buffet

Felt very homely

We booked in the off season, everything was very clean but we felt that nobody was in a good mood to have people there.

Fabulous Hotel

It was an amazing way to celebrate our 50th Wedding Anniversary. The room was fabulous and we were given some bubbly & chocs. I can’t fault this hotel

This was a beautiful and clean room. The bed was very comfortable, the staff was very friendly and helpful. We would stay here again!

I like the room was big and nice view

Great.

My room was beautifully quiet and comfortable, and the bed excellent. All of the staff I met were very friendly and helpful. I had the buffet for dinner, which was excellent. The gym is good. I had a very nice and relaxing stay.

It was worth the drive after my visit in Almería.

This hotel is amazing ! Great location in front of the beach. The buffet breakfast is delicious, so many options to choose from. So many pools. The check in process was smooth and quick, friendly service.

Pool, family room

I was here in May. It was quiet and relaxing. A good base for exploring Cabo de Gata

Clean, well maintained hotel

The hotel is right o n the beach, very well situated. Very bright and open. We stayed in a suite which was amazing. Would stay again

Over all it was a very good experience reception staff needs to to more efficient.

Very noisy place

The hotel is ok, the staff is very friendly and effective. However, norms for the COVID protection are not really enforced, in particular at the restaurant. In addition to that, the rules governing the use of swimming pools are not respected, there are children everywhere. Early in the morning the noise starts, with the cleaning staff trolleys circulating. The noise level in the restaurant is extremely high and nobody cares.

Perfect

We only stayed one day, it was beautiful and the food was very good. It was off peak, and a lot of the amenities were not available. One one pool was open and the lower restaurant are were closed. The walk was a little bit of a hike to the beach. Since it was off-season, we had the beach to ourselves. The beach was very hot, the sand was dark and grainy. The view was very nice. The resort is perfect for a family in season. It has a nice laid back private feel.

Great location if you like quiet and beach. Good size room, comfy bed, nice view. Great property, grounds, pool, gardens...very nice! Door was rotting in bathroom because shower leaked so badly. Nice big bathroom. Great food at the bar, had a burger. The buffet ($16 euros) is not the greatest quality, not into casseroles and "quantity over quality" food. There are restaurants, gas stations, coffee shops, and grocerie near by. We got a great rate at this hotel, a great stay.

Racial abuse and segregated to our bedroom due to dirty looks stares (from both Male staff and guests) and asked to pay for All drinks even though we paid for half board. We were the only guest asked to pay! SERIOUSLY If you are black or indian or ethnic Not a nice or safe place to go even my daughter was call nino noir noir (ittle black girl you cant play here....FULL COMPLAINT RAISED!

The staff were very friendly and supportive of us during a time of family crisis and we cannot praise and thank them enough. The only minor dislike were the very noisy and echoing communal spaces

I’ve been to to this hotel last year everything was perfect . So I booked again this time with my 32 yr old son asked for superior deluke room with 2 single beds when I arrived the room was small with a king size bed note my last visit the superior deluke was bigger better All round . Add reception 3 times the first time the lady appolagised as she noted the request on the booking . All that was done the double bed that 2 separate covers put on them so my son slept on the sofa bed for the price of nearly £ 400 sorry just not good enough . There was a wedding on at the bottom bar area so only one bar open in the main hotel with just one person serving again totally unexceptable . I’m sorry to say I will not book this hotel again Yours sincerly J Nield

Went there as a last minute decision due to an issue in our original itinerary that forced us to detour. The hotel and room were very nice and spacious, and the bed was very comfortable. In terms of location, there isn’t much around, though. You would need to take the bus into town to see the sights and for dining options, otherwise, your only option is to eat at the hotel, which is pricey at the restaurant. We ate at the lobby bar which was a bit more reasonably priced, but average quality. For an all-inclusive vacation, it would be pretty fun since the pools are beautiful, and the beach is very close-by, plus in the one night that we stayed they had lots of activities, but if you are looking more for an adventure, there isn’t really much to do in the immediate area.

A great hotel with excellent food and service

A wonderful hotel. Exceptional food in terms of quality and variety. Room was clean and comfortable. Service was excellent and transportation to local sights good. Easy access to and from the airport. Most of the guests were Spanish, an indication of the quality of the hotel. Highly recommended.

Food excellent. Hotel spotless. Too many children for us.

Close to beach and to scuba diving and to golf. Location, Location, location!

Staff, Location and facilities were exceptional. 10 min drive from airport.

Beautiful hotel and location. Resort style but we couldn’t really enjoy the amenities because it was cold. The buffets could be better...food quality wasn’t really good.

Second Time Around

We stayed here in February and liked it so much that we came back for my husband's birthday. It was so peaceful and relaxing on our last visit that we assumed it would be the same this time. Unfortunately, there were a couple of really noisy groups staying on our second visit who got louder and louder as the evening wore on. The acoustics in the bar and dining room seemed to amplify the already loud noise and it became so uncomfortable that we went to our room. Otherwise it was as good as before. The reception staff deserve particular mention as they are unfailingly helpful and welcoming, and always make each guest feel special. The chefs are also fantastic. I need a gluten free and lactose free diet and the chef on duty always found time to go through the menu to ensure that I knew exactly what was suitable. The only small criticism I had was that the shower cubicle leaked all over the bathroom floor,and the toilet roll holder looked as if a good clean would not go amiss. Otherwise, the room was great and the bed so comfortable that it was a pleasure to go to sleep!! I would definitely go back a third time.

Lovely hotel

Out of season so a little quiet all very good

Disappointed couple

Great bedrooms but bar and restaurant very disappointing! Only one bar and one canteen type restaurant ....... the food served was poor quality.

Views and Tranquility

This was the third hotel I stayed at during my trip. Hotel is fairly modern, everything is clean and crisp. Views of the ocean were beautiful. Staff was very nice, my Espanol is lackluster, to say the least, but I was able to make due. Most of the staff also speak English. Fun fact the room service food is decent but I am not sure they follow a standard recipe. I order two items on two different days and they were made noticeably different. When I return to Almeria I will definitely stay here again.

The pool was the only thing that i found some what nice

Overall a good value for the money. The main complaint I have is that the spa was completely booked out for a week and when I found this out there was two staff employees just standing around chatting. The food was average, usual all-inculsive quality. The room was clean and big.

Lovely hotel, food needs more thought.

Unfortunately the food was very poor. Breakfast was definitely the best meal of the day.

Beautiful location

The hotel was beatifully located by the beach. Nice area. Great staff, friendly and serviceminded. Will go back.

The Resort had a great breakfast, nice room and great pool facilities.

Nice clean hotel. Fantastic pools and loads of sun beds.

Somewhat mediocre experience. This property certainly doesn’t match the brand standards I’ve experienced at other Barcelo hotels. Staffing levels are poor, service is patchy across all departments from housekeeping to front desk. The in-house restaurant has *some* good produce and dishes but on the whole it’s disappointing. The rooms and public areas aren’t in anyway offensive in terms of 4* but certainly don’t book if you want decent food, drink or service. It’s basically a package holiday resort hotel masquerading as something it’s not.

Hotel near Almería

Nice hotel but a bit rundown on the outside and the surrounding beach area. This hotel caters to all-inclusive so food and beverage prices are a bit high. We stayed one night and were unable to get a coffee in the morning unless we had the buffet. The lobby bar doesn’t open until 10 am and 15 to 18 Euros for just a coffee was a bit much.

outstanding hotel

Parking outside the hotel is easy - my room was huge with a very comfortable bed and lovely balcony. Great wifi and shower too. Gym was modern and more than enough for weights and cv. Spa only €9 and relaxing and clean. The food was absolutely excellent and was one of the best breakfast I’ve had. Staff friendly and the pools Outside look huge for the summer . Recommended.

A hotel to chill in

This was a stopover location whilst travelling the coastline of Murcia, the hotel is great the food is great the rooms are great and bed very comfortable. the pools are clean and there is a good selection of food, would happily stay again

Beautiful modern hotel near beach

Found this hotel to be very modern, clean, and beautiful. Large breakfast buffet with myriad of options, gorgeous pools, and only a short 5-min walk to the beach. A little noisy in the early evening due to music, but quieted down by bedtime. Outside of Almeria proper in a manicured resort area. Felt safe, while still being able to venture into the main city in our rental car. All in all, a great stay which we would be likely to repeat in the future.

Excellent accommodation and location.

Located inside a private development (host of the 2005 mediterranean games) called El Toyo, the hotel is the perfect choice in matters of access to and from the airport /Almeria/Parque de Gata eco park. A taxi ride from the airport to the hotel will cost 20 Euros-fixed price as taxi drivers will refuse point blank to switch on the meter. Alternatively, have a bus ride @1.10 euro from outside the airport. Accomodation is good- linen and towels are first class, pools are spacious and never crowded.The hotel also offer leisure activities around the clock. If deciding to go to the beach head to playa de la Fabrequilla which is inside the eco park -20 minutes ride by car. Cant fault anything. Great stay.

Hotel Dissapointing

Hotel geared to Spanish Guests and Spanish speaking guests .Only few front of house staff eg Reception,Bar, Restuarant ,Snack Bar spoke limited English . Entertainment again catered for Spanish speaking guests

Great hotel near the sea

Hotel is superb!! Friendly staff, well organised and few minutes away from the airport. I had a great and relaxing time there.

El Toro

Acommodation good clean and tidy, looking tired on the outside though !, Spa extra charge 15 euro per session ! and you have to book even though hotel largely empty !! not shown in the online brochure when booked !!...the biggest disapointment was the food,. buffet restaurant was poor for today standards......and for £18 euros at the weekend was way overpriced.....6 out of 10

Close to airport, right on the beach. On bus route to Almeria town, cafe etc down the promenade. All very easy, a great short break destination.

Lovely room, excellent food

Great views from bedroom balcony. Very nice grounds. Close to beach. Great food quality and choice

Nice hotel, lovely location on the beach.

Comfortable rooms, nice facilities, although did not get to the gym- not open on Mondays. The buffet evening meal was disappointing- excellent food but all just warm, not hot.

Quiet location right on the seafront. The hotel grounds are very nice and a secure gate leads directly to the seafront gardens allowing a traffic free walk to a choice of nearby restaurants in the evening. We were there in October so it was very tranquil.

Excellent hotel. Not much to do in the surrounding area.

Resort is outside remote Almeria Spain. On beach. Loads of pools. All families with small kids who eat dinner at 10 pm and dance until midnight, mostly Spanish but a few Brits and Germans. Nothing to see or do nearby, so don't plan to leave resort. Food was plentiful, local, and lovely. Hotel staff spoke English sufficiently to let me get by with my high school text book Spanish. Good place to stare at sea and unwind.

Almeria

Acroos the Rd from a convention centre

Awesome hotel

Great hotel

Lovely Cabo de Gata

The hotel was lovely. The view from the room was excellent.The beach was just across a walk way. The food in the hotel was great, anything you wanted for breakfast. The only down side would be, the pictures of the hotel show a lovely in door pool. This is actually a spa area, and you have to pay €12 each for 90 min. use which we thought was very expensive.

Great Hotel Great Hospitality and Great Rooms

Fantastic Hotel - great size rooms and very helpful staff. Food was excellent with the addition of natural fruit juice bar and all types of egg cooked fresh when ordered.

Nice weekend break

Very nice hotel, pool crystal clear, good value for money, included breakfast

Air conditioning did not work

Quick break in the sun

Perfect for a couple of days break in the sun

It's a really nice, modern hotel with a Mediterranean feel to it. Highly recommended!

Nice hotel close to the beach

Stayed here for a week in October. Rained for a day but to be expected given the time of year. Lovely staff (especially in Kids'Club).

Great location

Very easy to find hotel with lots of free parking. Situated on the paseo with4excellent swimming pools and gardens. The bedroom was large with a huge bed and bathroom. Small balcony overlooking the pools. Very clean and free wifi. Buffet breakfast was good but the same every day. Excellent service and English speaking staff.

Hiking in the Cabo de gata

The hotel itself is very nice but you need to drive to locations you want to visit. not a bad drive to San Jose to hike or to some of the local beaches. We went in early June and the local towns were pretty deserted. The beach is not nice here but down the road they are much sandier. The staff were accommodating and friendly. The rooms are very spacious with a nice view and there were several pools for swimming. Lots of small children with activities for them if you have a young family. The breakfast buffet was nice. The comfort in the room was hampered by the lack of air conditioning in the wee hours of the morning. Other than that it was quite good, spacious, a very large bed and a sofa. A nice patio with view. We spent our days exploring hiking to beaches around San Jose.

family holiday

It was one of the best holidays ever. The hotel is very family orientated and there were lots of families with children. The food very was good. The location perfect. A bus outside which took you to the city centre of almerica. We had a superior room. Could not have asked for more.

The hotel was near to My daughter's Flat

We stayes at this hotel during our previous visit to Spain. The food was was good and my daughter and son inlaw and baby could joinus for lunch and dinners.

Hidden delight

Luxury hotel just ten mins from small airport (with virtually no aircraft noise) Great staff and buffet food. No night life to speak off and little going on in the immediate surroundings. Great for just chilling out. Do note however that the advertised facilities for the pools areas (bar, snack bar etc) closed for the winter in the middle of September!,.

Excellent Facilities & Food

We used this hotel because it is close to the airport, and we had a late landing. We were delighted to find it is an excellent hotel in an attractive, if quiet location. We re-booked there for our last night. Next year we will book in for a week there. A good 'chill out' location

Perfect location, large rooms, good value for the money

The hotel is recommended. The rooms are large, clean and well-equipped (mini-refrigerator, sofa, and flat-screen TV). The breakfast buffet was (too!) great, and special breakfast service is given to guest who leave early before the buffet is ready. Excellent. This visit took place in May and the room rate was probably lower than in the main summer season.

Quiet Location

The hotel was fine, staff were helpful but a very quiet location. A car is a must, we kept driving to Mojacar for a bit more life during the day and a nicer beach (not so windy and stony). Thought there would be entertainment for the kids during the evenings but nothing. No shops to browse so kids came home with their spending money!

A gem - far from the madding crowd!

Well managed hotel - far from the usual tourist part of Spain. Superb buffet food, excellent drinks (San Miguel on tap with house wine around 10 euros a bottle). Large swimming pool plus three smaller ones. Lots of sun beds. Plenty of space. Right by the sea. Comfortable, room. Staff friendly and helpful. Not much going on around the hotel - so this is for lovers of the quiet life - and the sun! Highly recommended!

Peaceful - but no entertainment

Nice hotel but a few year solder than when we last went and things are a little jaded. Little entertainment during the week. Old hus tv's - however they replaced with flat screen ones the day before we cam eback............

Nice hotel for a long stay

The surroundings are great and the hotel is very comfortable, with a wide variety of meals.

Unless your really into the all-inclusive style...

I stayed 2 nights at this hotel. It is far from any amnities,the water in the shower was connected the other way around not as indicated. And the hotel wasn't full, but they put me in between 2 families with young kids. Not the relaxing time I was looking for ! You'll be better of in San José !

Beach resort in the middle of no where

The Barcelo is a family oriented beach resort in a area of development with other similar properties. It is lovely but once you are there you are there. The beach is pebble and rocky. Great place to sit and do nothing at all.

Mooie ligging

Groot hotel , mooie omgeving. Eten in het restaurant was goed

Viihtyisä hotelli

Huone oli viihtyisä ja tilava. Ainoa miinus oli käytävältä ja muista huoneista kantautuvat äänet. Aamupala oli erittäin kattava. Kaikkinensa hyvä hotelli, jos nukkuu korvatulppien kanssa.

Perfecto

En general muy bien, lo único q pedimos una cama doble y nos pusieron 2 camas juntas

No es cómodo dormir en dos camas juntadas que se separan

todo el personal es excelente, las instalaciones y las habitaciones bien conservadas y limpias, la comida variada y de buena calidad, en general un 10. Para repetir. Muy recomendable.

Gutes Hotel am Strand

Schöne Anlage jedoch durch die grösse wird viel Unterhalt benötigt und dies resultiert in kleinen „mängeln“. Bei unserer Suite war der Kühlschrank defekt wurde umgehend Ausgetauscht, Klasse service! Room Service hingegen war eine Katastrophe. Hat nicht funktioniert und haben danach Lokal gegessen.

Das Hotel liegt nah am Strand. Zimmer sind groß und sauber. Ausreichend Liegen am Pool. Ruhig. Abendessen in Ordnung. Frühstück gut. Parkplätze kein Problem.

Calidad precio ajustado

La experiencia en general bien, aunque se echaba un poco en falta algo más de variedad en las comidas (quizás al no ser temporada alta la oferta era más limitada de lo que pueda ser en otra época del año). La animación está bien pero el club infantil no tanto, nuestra hija sólo estuvo una tarde y no quiso volver ya que las actividades que les planteaban se limitaban a poner a los niños a pintar.

Hôtel magnifique, accès direct à la plage. Chambre spacieuse, petit déjeuner buffet avec un choix varié, personnel serviable. Parking gratuit devant l'hôtel. Hôtel idéal pour ceux qui souhaitent rester sur place. Pour les autres qui veulent visiter les alentours; se balader en ville; ce n'est pas l'endroit idéal.

Parfait sauf que la grande piscine était fermée. Dommage.

Excelente hotel

Lugnt hotell i lugnt område

Vi bodde på det här hotellet under vår vintersemester under nyårshelgen. Vi hade tidigare varit i Almeria, men inte just där hotellet ligger, som är lite utanför. Hotellet ser lite äldre ut på utsidan men är renoverat och fräscht på insidan. Rummen fina och stora. En av de två poolerna var öppen trots vinter och uppvärmd. Det fanns också ett spa, som man kan besöka under en timme. Frukosten var bra men middagen varierade beroende på kväll. På nyårsafton hade personalen gjort det extra fint och upplevelsen var också att maten var bättre. Området är lugnt och utanför hotellet finns en strand promenad. Då det var lågsäsong var det mycket tomt i området.

Hotel fantástico al lado de Cabo de Gata

Un hotel muy comodo con una ubicación ideal en frente de la play y casí dentro del parque cabo de Gata.

Acabamos de volver de pasar tres noches maravillosas en el hotel. Teníamos regimen de media pensión, las cenas espectaculares, mucha variedad y calidad en la cenas. Todo muy apetecible y riquísimo! Los desayunos muy ricos y con mucha variedad también. Las piscinas geniales y muy amplia la zona de hamacas. Reservamos una sesión de spa, las instalaciones muy buenas y el spa maravilloso, se nos hizo muy corta la hora. Me encantó el detalle de tener agua para poder estar hidratados mientras disfrutas de las duchas, la piscinas y la sauna. Comimos un día en el Arrozante, el arroz estaba riquísimo! Habitación amplia, muy limpia, las cama comodisima y el baño perfecto, tenia ducha y bañera. La localización del hotel era perfecta, muy cerca de la playa, con un paseo de palmeras y pasarelas de madera. Todo fue genial pero quiero destacar sobre todo a los trabajadores, recepción, limpieza, camareros y cocineros, personal de spa y los chicos de las actividades. No puedo dar nombres porque TODOS fueron espectaculares. Muy amables, educados y atentos. Sin duda volveremos!
