Pros:

Locație frumoasă plină de palmieri în fața hotelului vara este de vis,saltele foarte comode .

Cons:

Prețul puțin cam piperat pentru luna februarie având în vedere că Piscinele nu le poți folosii, spa-ul doar cu programare...și spa-ul doar în anumite zile deschis având în vedere că iarna spa-ul ar trebui să funcționeze tot timpul pentru că baie în mare nu poți să faci...Mâncare multă de toate felurile dar nu pe gustul european..

Very enjoyable
Pros:

The reception staff was excellent , efficient , pleasant and friendly, an absolute credit to Barcelo. It was a very busy time which they managed very well

Cons:

More drinking water for two adults would have been appreciated and it was requested however it did not arrive , that is the only small improvement that could have been made , otherwise everything else was excellent
