I would change it if someone promise to take care about that issue. Because if that people can be control by the security but they were talking with them. So please educate the security man to do a better job

We recently stayed with a group of friends at this resort. The beach & pool were great but the food was absolutely terrible. Truly the worst food I have ever had out at a restaurant, on vacation, at any type of all inclusive... anything... by a landslide. To get into any of the sit down restaurants, that are only open for dinner, and the only slightly decent option ...you had to have a reservation. But no one answers the phones all day to make them. This happened to us 4/5 days. Every time we went to the front desk ourselves we would wait in line for at least 35 minutes. If we didn't have a reservation you couldn't get a table, even when there were plenty open. There is no food around the pool or beach at all. You have to trek inside where there is only the buffet for breakfast/ lunch. and when I tell you this is the most disgusting food I have ever had.. it was almost not edible. By day 2 I was eating cereal, toast, and bananas. That's it. After 5 days here our group cheered at the sight of a Wendy's in the airport, just because we knew what we were getting. I have been extremely sick since leaving the resort and know it had to have something to do with the food / sanitary standards at this resort. I have been to plenty of all inclusive & cruises that all seem pretty typical. You aren't there to get a gourmet meal but this was absolutely inexcusable. Do. Not. Go. Here.…

This small all inclusive is a short walk to the larger sister property, but the size makes it more intimate and cozy. The staff could NOT have been nicer, especially since I was travelling with my 80 year old parents for our moms 80th. SO KIND and HELPFUL! We hope to return next year!

Just got home today from a 5 day vacay here at the "Beach" resort which is the adults only side of Barcelo. Beach was beautiful with little to almost no waves.. crystal clear water,.. seagrass was there 3 of the days but not overpowering and it was cleaned daily and was kept very nice. Only objection to the beach was there is ZERO thatch umbrellas or umbrellas of any type anywhere. There are some tall palm trees, but they offer very little shade and the sun gets hot. Plenty of beach chairs though The resort is large so be prepared for lots of walking. If you cant handle the walk ask to be in buildings 1 or 2 since those are the closest to the pool, lobby, buffet, bars and nightly DJ activity. The majority of the restaurants are in The Barcelo Palace resort which is next to the Beach resort. There is a cool trolley type train that constantly runs between the "Beach" resort to the "Palace" resort, next door and it runs every 15 minutes. There is more than one train so the wait is minimal and its a very long walk so worth he wait! The food was average, not good, not really bad.. just average but I guess that's usually the case in an all-inclusive. We had a nice room in building 1 Oceanfront with the premier service package which is Definitely worth adding to your stay. The rooms were clean but dated. Minimal outlets for charging and the AC only blows on arctic mode... works great but thermostat wouldn't allow us to make it a little warmer, we froze. The bathroom sink vanity has a wooden panel on the bottom that fell right off and hit my leg.. that shoulkdnt have happened... walked aournd with huge bruises on my sore leg... geeeez... Last comment is that there is a poolside bar with a thatch tiki teepee design thats very cool. it was directly in front of our balcony and they play quiet elevator type music that really needs to be changed. Its the same loop of music that plays every day and it includes CHRISTMAS MUSIC-- YES CHRISTMAS MUSIC which was a bit ridiculous at the end of May? They really need to do something about getting some better music playing there.. Soft reggae or calypso music would be so much more appropriate and appealing for the location... the elevator music has to go! Overall, other than getting injured, our stay was good. We left hungry but were relaxed! Price of the resort was good and you should add the Premium Services package--- one perk is you can book all your dinner reservations a month in advance with that! …

Great beach. Poor drinks. Average food and entertainment; Kyoto was the biggest disappointment. We went to the Palace most evenings and days as the adults only was very boring. Having to pay to access the 'Waterpark' is poor. Staff friendliness is hit or miss.
