The hotel is an average Barcelo property. The rooms are clean (with a few exceptions), good space for two people. The food is repetitive if you stay over 2 days but I did not get sick. Some colleagues got sick from eating the traditional "ceviche" (raw seafood marinated in lemon juice with cilantro, onions, etc). The internet access is expensive... more

I read a lot of bad reviews about the food and the staff but they must have made a big effort to improve cos I thought the food was good quality and very varied and international. Great desserts. Also the staff were delightful. Rooms were great. It gets quiet mid week after the peek months so there is not much... more

After traveling around beautiful Ecuador for 2 weeks, we were looking forward to relaxing in Salinas at the advertised all-inclusive Barceló. The staff always seemed to be in a bad mood, unfriendly, and unhappy to be there. The food was not good at the buffet and when we went to the "snack bar," they only had two of the eight... more

Be aware!!! Pictures are not a full description of this hotel. Rooms are very old and the bed covers are in bad shape, a huge disappointment. There are other hotels in the area that are in better shape at a more reasonable price. Food, was OK not impressive at all. Do not stay here.! Try the next beach Chipipe at... more

My Credit Card # along with my Mother's and Uncle's were stolen by the Attendants at the Front Desk. We didn't find out until a week after we returned and generally I NEVER use Credit Cards overseas for that reason but I figured since the resort seemed nice it would be ok. BIG MISTAKE and this resort was the ONLY... more

Navy visit to Ecuador. Slim pickings for hotels, but, for the standards in this country, it wasn't that bad......but, for US standards....the hotel left much to be desired. But, still, not horrible. more

We just came back from Salinas, we stayed in Barcelo Colon Miramar for 3 nights. The hotel was nice, clean rooms, (my room was a little small) but my parents got a suite and it was really big with a living room area, huge windows and 2 bathrooms! Buffets were OK, there was a huge selection but the food tasted... more

I stayed at the Barcelo last week on a sightseeing trip through Ecuador. Overall, my experience was pleasant, and I'm pretty easy to please. The room was clean, the staff was very attentive, and it suited our purposes (which was really not to just hang out, but to use it as a base for sightseeing). That said, if I'd come... more

I am a pretty tolerant guest, have traveled throughout Ecuador, and speak Spanish, but my experience of the Hotel Barcelo Color Miramar was like biting into a beautiful piece of fruit and finding it full of maggots. The hotel looks good on first impression. The buffet food is fine, but boring and quite repiticious. Only one pool as of my... more
