I have planned to come stay at Barcelo Saidia as my sisters enjoyed their stay in 2009.
but what a disapointment !!!!, I orginally have planned to stay for 7 nights but shortned my stay for only two.
I have made a reservation 2 months in advance and I have verified that checks were accepted and upon my arrival at 10:30 PM with my wife, my 4 year old daughter, and my 18 months baby, the people at the reception said that checks are not accepted only credit card or "company checks". (lot of arguments with no result) people at the reception including the head manager UNABLE to propose solution to the client. Passed this argument we have asked for dinner and here we have got "no sorry the kitchen is closed" but you could go at the mini bar it stays open 'till 01:00 AM, and here another lie my wife went to the mini bar to get back only with two bottles of water.
Now, we have decided to shortned the stay for only two nights and here is what we have found out, at the room there were wholes in our sheets and we have found nails of the previous visitors, the bathroom was not clean, I mean the smell is so strong you can not stay more than 30 seconds. Now time for lunch, the food is very basic you feel that things were made in a hurry, the slices of Salami were turned over to appear of today's cut but when you flip the salami slice you see that it is of yesterday's or two days back.
The thing that gets to me is that I have read similar reviews on trip advisor and I went with my sisters feedback. Unless things change @ Barcelo Saïdia (as it is a beatiful beach and nice big rooms when they are cleaned) I strongly recommend not going.
