El alojamiento tiene una amplia oferta de actividades y espacios y el desayuno es muy completo. No obstante, tiene un grave problema de olores en las habitaciones.
La habitación olía fatal, venía un fuerte olor de la ducha. Tras comunicarlo al personal nos trasladaron a otra habitación después de una espera. La nueva habitación asignada seguí oliendo mal, pero era soportable. En cualquier caso, teniendo en cuenta el precio y la categoría del hotel, no lo recomiendo. Tampoco nos ofrecieron ningún tipo de compensación por las molestias.

The hotel is beautiful, plenty of space, lots of facilities and different areas to sit and relax. Huge bedroom, comfy beds and soft towels, great gym faciltiies.
It's not very sheltered from the constant wind, the air con in the room didn't work, the receptionists weren't very happy for helpful, nobody really explained how the all inclusive worked, we asked if there was any chance of a free upgrade and we got laughed at. The sports bar has zero atmosphere - no music, bright lights. The pool isn't heated.

Value for money on the all inclusive offer was excellent. The hotel was smart, clean and very modern. Plenty of facilities and in a great location.
I absolutely hate when they design the bathroom to be part of the bedroom. I understand it to be the “modern” style, but It would put me off booking here again.

The property was exceptional and in a great location. Barceló is extremely well kept and evident a great amount of care went into the finishing touches.
The food and drink are a drawback. The bar staff were not well trained and struggled to manage the customers. The food is a let down, despite having all inclusive we chose to eat outside the property. Lack of care, low quality and generally not edible.
Housekeeping could be better, lack of care and attention to the small details, the linen was changed but otherwise very little cleaning around the room / outside space was evident.

Location is good. Food was varied and cooked fresh at every meal. Drinks were plentiful on all inclusive.
The cleaning and housekeeping left a lot to be desired. Food and drinks were left uncleared in communal areas and the tables in the dining room were not cleared efficiently, with people having to wait for tables. The mini bar, coffee and water in the room was full on arrival, but never filled up throughout ( when asked, was told that it’s only provided as a courtesy on arrival). With the odd exception, staff were generally unhelpful, quite rude and abrupt. The AI band was taken at check out which I feel is quite petty given the cost for the sake of a couple more hours. The layout of the grounds is bizarre with more dead ends than exits! At £360 per night it’s very expensive and definitely not worth the money. Would not stay again or indeed recommend it to anyone.

Great location between Marina and old town. Very impressive hotel. Lots of sun loungers. Large swimming pool
Hotel bar area felt too corporate. The bar didn't really capitalise on the grand area that was available to it. Buffet breakfast not great no table service for tea or coffee. Limited fruits. More than 50% of staff only spoke Spanish, although all were pleasant.

The hotel is new, modern and up to date. We had a superior sea view room with a balcony and sunbeds. We loved our room. The large pool area is excellent, with lots of sunbeds. The hotel is within walking distance of the marina and the port. All staff were friendly, helpful and worked hard.
I didn’t find the dining room relaxing as it was too big and busy. I would choose bed and breakfast only if I were to return. Food was not replenished if it ran out. You had to be in early to take advantage of the range of foods on offer. By the time you queued and gathered up what you wanted to eat, it was cold.

L’emplacement, l’architecture, la décoration, la qualité de la literie, la restauration, la gentillesse du personnel, et l’animation font de cet hôtel un endroit magique 😍
Attention aux commentaires de décembre et janvier qui reflètent certes le ressenti des clients, mais sur une phase d’ouverture.
Ces commentaires ne reflètent en rien le séjour magnifique que nous avons vécu.
Même s’il reste quelques ajustements à opérer, l’hôtel est juste incroyable !!!

Newly built, Morden, good facilities. Pool, Entertainment and Breeze bar staff were amazing.
The food was poor, drinks were not included in half board at dinner. I would only recommend the breakfast. No slippers, robes, and no bin (outside of sanitary bin). Also, the staff gave different information every time which contradicted the app they tell you to download. I appreciate it’s new but basic things such as which restaurants should be open or gym times should be known.

Hand sanitizer machines need to be placed in the buffet restaurants. Entertainment needs to start later and go on for longer

Easy to park
Too big one km to walk to breakfast and back. 3 times the room key did not work in one day. Which meant 350m walk back to reception. No access to the beach and bars from the hotel. Layout terrible, huge long corridors. Not a holiday hotel.

Servizio davvero ottimo, struttura nuovissima e curata nel minimo dettaglio, personale disponibile, pulizia perfetta.
L’unica nota dolente è che non viene specificato che l’area welness è a pagamento (16€ a ingresso) e chiude alle 18. Se punti la pubblicità su quello non puoi non dirlo fin da subito!!

Un très bel hotel, une architecture atypique, entre modernité et tradition. Une équipe adorable, une chambre superbe, fonctionnelle et confortable avec une magnifique vue sur la mer. Je suis heureuse d’avoir séjourné au Barcelo, j’ai adoré mes vacances.
Deux petits bémols : la nourriture n’est pas à la hauteur des standards français et les oreillers étaient un peu durs.

The customer service at this hotel is non existent and they ignore complaints. Any replies you see on social media are rubbish and just for advertising for them to save face. Whilst we were there they hired a specialist complaints person to try to stop all of the bad reviews. So if you see anything positive it is probably fake. We had to complain daily about the issues I have raised below and they were never fixed. On top of that the hotel is not finished. There is a lot of construction still needed and even more snagging. Avoid this place as it is dirty they do not provide the services you pay for and then just make excuses. The first day the wardrobe door fell on me and hurt my shoulder no one cared. It was outrageous. They should not have opened. Mirrors in the lift are all cracked and taped up. Taps and hand dryers don't work, The grouting around the pool cuts you feet and is uneven Seagulls occupy the main pool and poo in and around it so no one uses it. I could go on but hopefully you are getting the picture. Service levels are appalling and the management team useless Barcelo should be ashamed of themselves. So there is nothing good to say !
There isn't a beach. It is not 500 yards as they now advertise it is 20 minutes walk away and a very busy public beach. The hotel is still under construction so no access to the marina or seafront you have to walk around the whole perimeter it takes 20 mins. I have added a picture of the road ! The food was disgusting. Terrible selection and it was very random. everything was stone cold and you were served the same food selections for lunch and dinner. They did not clean the fish and seafood properly and on the rare occasions chicken was available it was uncooked. So even though we paid for all inclusive we ate out most nights. The hotel was dirty and the tables were not cleared so dirty plates etc were all around you when you dined in the buffet restaurant and snack bar. Half of the restaurants were closed. The beauty salon was also closed and there were limited if no activities for adults. The swim up pool is a lie its 5 cm deep it is a paddling pool and you certainly cannot relax let alone swim in it. They do not clean the rooms daily there is also no turn down service They did not supply water and soft drinks as paid for and there is no room service as advertised. Minor detail but no bathrobes or slippers in the room. You pay for full service and they do not deliver. It is a joke they are a 2 star not 4 ! Don't waste your money.

The reception staff, especially Rishki, Laikhen and Fran were extremely kind, professional, patient and helpful. The guy from Nigeria who cleaned my room was excellent and good humoured. Restaurant staff was nice and helpful, too. The rooms are nicely decorated, beds are great, balconies facing the ocean-I had lateral views - are very nice and spacious. Breakfast and dinner was excellent, great choice, fresh produce, perfect. I had half board and it was absolutely worth it and I would recommend it! The hotel is spread across many hectars, so it does not come across as too overwhelming (although, having known Lanzarote and Playa Blanca for some 25 years, there is too much tourism now...). All in all, I would stay again in the hotel :)
I found the wifi quite poor and slow, compared to other places where I stayed in the past in Playa Blanca. If you need to do "business", like video conferencing, it is complicated....As for restaurant services: use fresh loose tea leaves (which also come in tea bags) rather than the insipid tea bags, also a greater variety of tea would be nice. Use real coffee beans (the coffee machines, cafeteria style in the buffet room produce tasteless liquid. I always went to the pool bars and reception bar to buy a cup of coffee, as they have the "real" machines) The hotel should have opened or created an exit to the paseo maritimo in order to have direct access to the sea promenade instead of "contourner" and crossing streets and a parking lot wasteland. Also, the loud music (animation from the pool side bar). I changed rooms therefore and would not recommend any room facing the swimming pools for that matter, unless you thrive on music and animation thrills and sounds emitted by excited humans in the evening.

Hotel was not ready for the crows in the morning for breakfast? I was giving the wrong room at first then the showed me 3 more rooms and not what I booked then AFTER 2 HOURS I got the room I booked. I was in the royal side of the hotel but could not use the swimming pool or the bar and restaurant total wast of money €5,500 is a lot of money to pay for a disaster of a holiday. Rooms are a bit funny shower and toilet are open in the bed room who ever designed this must be mad everyone needs a bit of privacy. I saw staff fighting wanting to walk out not good to see that on your holidays. Never go back there again. There was seagulls in the swimming all the time washing themselves see the photos.
Notting much?

Haber se que lo habían inaugurado recientemente, pero creo que se apresuraron en abrirlo, habían cosas que estaba bien y otras fatal,el recibimiento fue fatal ,a los clientes que estaban delante de nosotros los recibían con unas copitas de lo que fuera,pero a mí pareja y a mí, nada de nada ,no se si porque los otros eran extranjeros y nosotros no,no se la verdad,la habitación perfecta todo y el.personal de habitaciones también el restaurante ya no tanto,entre que ellos mismos se hablaban mal y no se ponían de acuerdo ,creo que estaban un poco descolocado todo,las comidas mal para el hotel que es y encima sin etiquetar nada de nada , cuando hoy es muy importante ,bueno en definitiva precio calidad malisima,porque no es nada barato😔😔

Gute Lage
Sehr weite Wege, sehr langes Check-in Prozedere,
Lüftung (noch Klimaanlage, sondern Abluft) im Zimmer viel zu Lauf und nicht abstellbar - unzumutbar, Reinigung im Zimmer lässt zu wünschen übrig (fremde Haare auf dem Boden, Spiegel dreckig, Wände WC dreckig), Reinigung und Pflege der öffentlichen Flächen lässt zu wünschen übrig (sämtliche Fliesen bereits sehr verschmutzt, jeder Aufzug Böden+Spiegel sehr dreckig, Spiegel in den meisten Aufzügen gerissen), kein Zugang vom Hotel zu Promenade (man muss hinten raus und links oder rechts um die gesamte Anlage laufen). Für die Spa-Nutzung fallen zusätzlich 14€/Stunde pro Person an.

Las instalaciones son una pasada. La habitación, cama, almohadas, todo muy cómodo y precioso. La zona de la piscina es impresionante. Personal muy agradable.
Falta de organización, se nota que está en rodaje aún. Pedimos 2 camas y nos dieron 1.
Los empleados, aunque muy agradables, no sabían mucho por donde andarse. No hay suficiente personal, el segundo día la limpieza de la habitación consistió en simplemente hacer la cama, ni siquiera cambiaron las tazas sucias.
La ducha en plena habitación no me gustó nada, depende con quién vayas es incómodo ya que no hay privacidad alguna.

Struttura nuovissima, molto moderna, con una piscina molto suggestiva.
Colazione e cena sono di livello alto come qualità del cibo.
Ottimo il ristorante messicano. Non eravamo riusciti a prenotarci tramite la app e ci siamo presentati al ristorante. Ci hanno accolto con il sorriso, simpaticissimi il referente e il cameriere!
Avevamo una prenotazione di Booking per la soluzione superior. Quando siamo arrivati ci hanno detto che ci avrebbero fatto un upgrade da standard a standard con vista mare parziale. A parte che non c’era questa opzione su Booking, ma tutte le camere mi sembra che abbiano la vista parziale sul mare, per cui è stato un finto upgrade. Rispetto alla prenotazione di Booking l’upgrade doveva essere la camera con piscina.
La camera è spaziosa, l’architetto ha optato per questa soluzione che prevede il bagno a vista… va a gusti
Il percorso benessere è caro rispetto al servizio offerto. Per quanto si paga avrebbe senso lasciarlo aperto come la palestra

Estaba todo nuevo y de reciente inauguración
Supongo que precisamente por su apertura reciente había muchos detalles por acabar y la desorganización era considerable. Como una máquina todavía por engrasar.

Hotel que lleva abierto 20 días, instalaciones modernas y decoración de muy buen gusto, todas las nuevas tecnologías presentes. Tienes puertos usb, tipo C y HDMI.
Buffet grande y todo estaba muy rico.
El trato del personal fue muy muy bueno, pido paciencia al resto posibles clientes son un equipo que están empezando en un macro hotel, en mi caso todo fue genial y correcto.
Tienen piscina climatizada, desconozco si la piscina con acceso desde la habitación lo está.
Las puertas de los balcones insonorizados, descanso perfecto.
Todas las habitaciones dan al mar y con vistas a Fuerteventura e Isla de Lobos.
Aún quedan accesos por terminar para salir a la avenida de la playa. Quizás las habitaciones deberían estar más a punto para ser de bloqueadas, aún quedan restos de pintura en suelo o muebles

Nice, light, airy rooms. Cleverly designed and clean, modern decor. We were travelling with our toddler and it was nice to have a decent sofa bed for her in the room (so many hotels get this wrong, or squeeze something old and uncomfortable into a corner!) The heated outdoor pool was lovely (and we had it all to ourselves!), as was the heated children’s pool. Our daughter loved playing on the pirate ship. The poolside staff were very friendly and kind, as were the kids club staff. Our daughter was too young to be dropped off to stay, and we wouldn’t have done anyway, but she could see the staff dressed as elves and was interested, and they were so engaging- invited us in, made a huge effort to play with her etc. The facilities there were lovely and she enjoyed the little play area. We are at the Breeze poolside bar, which is buffet style and very good value. The staff here were also very pleasant.
I wouldn’t go as far as ‘didn’t like’ but it would have been nice to have had more options for eating in the early evening. With a toddler in tow we aim to eat around 5.30/6, but most of the eateries stopped lunch around 3, and didn’t resume for dinner until 6.30/7, which by the time we’ve been seated, ordered, and received the food, is just a bit late for our little one. For a hotel that does market itself at families this was a shame. We ended up having to eat at the Breeze buffet again (having eaten here at lunch). As per the above, this was good value, but there wasn’t much by way of variation to accommodate both lunch and dinner, especially for vegetarians. To add to the difficulties, it stopped serving at 5.30 so it was all a bit of a rush!
As other reviewers have noted, as it is a new hotel there are sone elements that don’t appear to be quite up and running, such as the snack bar attached to the kids club, which we initially headed to for lunch but was deserted. This didn’t really impact us hugely, but it would perhaps be a good idea to be informed on check in of anything that is not quite operational yet. There was some work going on around the hotel, but it wasn’t hugely noticeable and again, was understandable in the context of a hotel that has only been open less than a month.
The one really odd thing was the employee stood guarding the main doors on our arrival. He was dressed a bit like a security guard and was not particularly friendly or polite. He unfortunately did not speak much English, and we have little Spanish, but he initially told us we couldn’t go in!! He appeared to be saying the hotel was ‘not open’ at first, and then mentioned ‘clients only’, but when we tried to explain that we were clients as we were there to check in, he continued to try and stop us going in. I asked to speak to someone who could sisal English and he refused that too!

Las instalaciones eran una maravilla, todo nuevo, el personal muy atento y mucha disposición a que estuviéramos cómodos
A pesar de que todo era increíble, fue una pena que muchos de los servicios que ofrecía el hotel aún no estuvieran disponibles como el SPA, algunos restaurantes, acceso a la playa más cercana y que el Todo Incluido fuera un poco dudoso por que entra todo pero sin entrar todo.
Y por otra parte, la privacidad de las habitaciones dejaba bastante que desear ya que las plantas que supuestamente harán de barrera a las terrazas de cada habitación, eran muy pequeñas y no podías estar del todo cómodo viendo a todo el mundo pasar, al igual que la imagen de los jardines, aún sin terminar, parte de las terrazas de las habitaciones al poner el riego para estas plantas, se convertía en un barrizal y no era cómodo.

Very beautiful resort, the location is just perfect and close to the sea/beach. The food was great. The room was very clean with daily room service for a refresher. Went in December and missed the crowds, the weather was perfect. Couldnt have asked for a better stay.
There’s a bit of a language barrier with the staff but cant blame them - its a Spanish island.
The lower gate leading to the beach/promanade was closed so had to walk around the resort to get there - 10min at the most.
