Positive :

Beautiful environment. The staff in general is very caring and passionate about their work, even those at the equipment rental at the beach Sirenas. Great location. Beautiful facilities. Own. Beautiful organization (for-hire scotter jeep transportation to the beaches). We keep an excellent memory and is part of our beautiful destinations to watch again and again.

Negative :

Not enough palapas and chairs on the beach. Buffet is not very varied, always the same. The a la carte restaurants were quite ordinary. Service quality were lower than at the buffet staff.

Positive :

Quiet area with friendly staff. The food is very good. I was spoiled by the waves at our beach. Paraiso and Sirena beaches are worth seeing.

Negative :

No control on the part of the hotel on the reservation of umbrellas at the pool and the beach (get up early).

Positive :

The reception staff is great. Employees on the site in November 2004 have all recognized me. The beach outside the hotel was very acceptable quality. I saw beautiful sunrises outside the hotel. The rarely seen!

Negative :

No negative comments. By cons, there was error in awarding my room because another client who had a name similar to mine. I still managed to get a room conveniently located on the site with a partial sea view The error was detected on the last day of my stay.

Positive :

Site very clean, friendly staff. Good animation, very good dancers. The beach is there but it is not long nor very broad. We can not we go to other hotels by the beach. It never fails to chairs at the beach or pool.

Negative :

The bikes are free but in poor condition. Most have no pedals. This hotel will close on May 1 to be renovated. It seems it was bought by Iberostar, which will probably increase the price of stay.

Positive :

To get started just ten minutes from the airport and the staff very welcoming when we arrived, everything is very clean the gardens to the room. The staff always smiling and willing to serve you without necessarily waiting for tips. The beaches were to rendezvous with about 50 feet wide in front of the hotel from East to West, The bars are equipped with new machines for your favorite mixed and gives super "pinacolada" soft as milkshake. The restaurant Olazul (go Yoanni) buffet for lunch and dinner has a good choice so handsomely can feast (this is the food of Cuba) and the afternoon snack the restaurant serves the delicious chicken Opalino, coast beef and fish cooked on BBQ and a buffet in front of you and do not hesitate to meet Orlando, Brian and Laro who will struggle to please you. The activitées (dance classes, aerobics in the pool, volleyball, ect.) Begun on site from the morning until the end of the afternoon. Many chair at the pool. After two days the staff call you by your first name. 7 days of wall to wall sunshine and not a drop of rain. Paraiso and Sirenas with his star still beautiful seas and do not hesitate to take the little train to Sirenas then walk back along the beach, you will discover our wonderful of places. Finally the whole we are very satisfied

Negative :

The a la carte restaurant, and International Ranchon (evening) quite ordinary on the menu selections 2 starters, 2 soups, main dishes every 4 restaurant, several people have taken the comment to the direction they had not enough chairs on the beach, they were supposed to correct the situation. The evening at the restaurant Ranchon few mosquitoes biting but I've seen worse in Quebec

Positive :

Site very near the airport and very clean. Wonderful view from the room. Staff nice and pleasant. The sea is breathtaking. A customer of the friendliest. Very nice weather all week.

Negative :

Big disadvantage: no shade at the beach, not enough palapas and already booked at 6am. We should be able to use the palapas as the people who have reserved are absent: several hours! The food is average: I've eaten much better elsewhere in Cuba. Few musicians: that we missed the cocktail hour.

Positive :

Spent a lovely week my daughter and me complete rest, no worries, no solicitation, extra-ordinary temperature. 30 minutes of rain throughout the stay. Not the first time at the Barcelo, the staff were very welcoming and as usual very helpful. Have made a small excursion in Catamaran (8 persons), 2 dives (a small wreck and barrier coral reefs). ate a meal worthy of a great restaurant, visited the island with iguanas and sea stars one day not to be missed. Many changes in the air at the Barcelo, possible change of ownership in the coming months. The buffet was excellent and still lacked nothing (if you can not do without peanut butter, jam, bring your own teddy bear ...). The beaches are progressivements returned, Caprichio the beach is now closed, the beach at the Barcelo, those of Sirena and Paraiso can now receive all clients. This is a perfect place for relaxation and recreation. The people are friendly and open to Spirit, bravo. The rooms are clean, not the comfort of the Hilton but still correct bin to sleep and a shower before returning to the beach, the sun or the Bar. I stay there again.

Negative :

It is possible that a dish does not agree with you on the occasion, however, there will be 3 feet away another dish quite delicious that will delight you. All tastes are in nature. The shows seem to have diminished somewhat in quality but nothing to get started in bed, saying that your evening was ruined. The possibility of sale of the concession seems to affect staff (creating a sense of insecurity), but overall, this is a normal reaction in such circumstances as are also found here. Why cry for a toaster that is a little slow roasting slices while were on vacation and that is our last concern is the time! ...

Positive :

Very good value for money. Hotel very clean though not luxurious. No washcloth, bring your own. Very good buffet service and beach towels. The food is good, but lacks a little variety to the bread and fruit. The air conditioning works silencieuxement in room temperature and is very tolerable even without air conditioning. Hotel is 10 minutes from the airport is fantastic. We traveled with Sunwing and I assure you that the service and friendliness of the hostess and the commander Andre were much appreciated.

Negative :

Despite a week of sun, wind was present but it was good anyway. The lack of palapa and lounge chair are incorrect for this hotel. Ranges in width has decreased because of the recent hurricane and must go to other beaches because of the Barcelo is not very large. Bicycles are really in a sorry state, even dangerous. The morning coffee is in coffee machines, not very good. Bring your coffee.! By cons, the capucinos are excellent!
