So, we stayed at this resort April 29-May 13. I really liked it, but a few things did make my vacation not so perfect. CHECK-N was real long, although we bought a prestige class package. And then we really had to wait for 3,5 hours until our room is ready. It was a Labour day weekend, so although we arrived... More

I stayed here last weekend and it was so nice! The pool has a swim-up bar (although only open till 6), and the beach is beautiful and clean! The food was okay, a little bland, but nothing terrible. We stayed in a suite, and the room was beautiful. However, our room was located on the edge of the resort and... More

Just got back from the Barceló with my husband, we were there from May 3-11. To pretty much sum up our stay at the Barceló...we "made the best of it".
