The most beautiful thing in Barcelo is the beach, a soft entrance to the sea along the sand, when the tide is out, you can safely swim to the second buoys. There is a small reef nearby, fish swim to the very shore every day, you can go snorkeling, the beauty of the Red Sea is incredible. During our stay, the hotel was undergoing renovations, which, of course, did not please us, but it did not really interfere either. The room was immediately given a good one without any surcharges. Cleaned daily, for a tip they always brought additional water, tea, coffee, cream, in large quantities. Wi-Fi is not bad, we caught it best in the room and on the beach. The territory is small, well-groomed, palm trees, flowers, lawn and citrus trees, if you need instagram locations, then this is not here. The food in the restaurant is delicious, the dinners are varied, I really liked the veal, for which many thanks to the chefs. Pies with fruit and nuts became a love for the rest of the holiday. Alcohol is tolerable, everyone drank with ice, there were no problems.
The entertainment program was standard, almost like in all hotels. Sunbeds on the beach are taken very early and throw things for the whole day, but you can always find free ones from far away. The pools are clean, it’s nice to swim, but in some places the coating along the bottom has peeled off when you get up, you cling to it all the time. A small but cozy gym, during the day there were surprisingly many people working out. I liked burgers and fries at the beach bar, there was a queue for fast food from time to time. From what I categorically did not like: all drinks in the restaurant can be ordered only through the waiter, it is inconvenient, long, it is not clear why everything is so complicated at all. If you give a dollar every day, they will serve you quickly, they will always find a free table and chilled drinks. From hot dishes, everything is given out behind glass, they are served in small portions, if you ask, they add it without problems, the minus is that you cannot choose the piece you like.
In general, the staff is friendly, but most, to put it mildly, are rude, especially the bartenders, you need to be prepared for this. At a bar without a tip, you can't wait for a good relationship. Alcohol is poured into small plastic cups, including beer, despite the fact that you repeat several times that you will drink here, not with you. There are shops on the territory of the hotel, but we went to the nearest market, when leaving the hotel, to the left and on foot 800 meters. Also, minibuses constantly go from the hotel, they always want to give a lift, they honk, if they wish, they will stop anywhere. We had an early departure, without prior arrangements we were given breakfast in lunch boxes with us. In general, the hotel is quite good, the beach with its wonderful entrance and unique sunsets conquers and because of it you want to come back here more than once.
