CUIDADO CON HOTELES BARCELO TE ENGAÑAN EN LA MEDIA PENSION, TE QUITAN BUFFET
Pros:

Las instalaciones

Cons:

Teníamos media pensión con cena buffet, y sin previo aviso querían que cenaremos en Snack bar loby con carta (Foto), que está en recepción con 8 mesas, se ve que no previeron que los demás huéspedes podían coger la opción de cenar libremente en el mismo hotel, por lo que cuando fuimos a cenar a las 20.30 no había mesas y nos dijeron de cenar en el sofa de la recepción. Además los que estaban sentados no les servían nada porque no podían atenderlos, ya que por ahorrar la dirección decidió no abrir el buffet, ya que había pocos clientes. CUIDADO CON BARCELO, QUE SI NO HAY BASTANTES CLIENTES TE QUITAN EL BUFFET Y TE PASAN A COMER A LA CARTA, ES DECIR UN ENGAÑO PARA SER UN HOTEL MAS ATRAYENTE.

Pros:

L emplacement de l hôtel vraiment bien dans une zone loin du centre ville situe dans une zone résidentiel tranquille au.moment ou nous sommes allés
Les chambres confortables avec frigo et de quoi faire son thé et son café

Cons:

Le reveillon du jour de l an était vraiment nul
Un repas du soir juste à peine convenable et la soirée du réveillon sans grand intérêt un groupe de chanteur qui essayer de mettre de l ambiance mais beaucoup de gens ne s amusait pas et surtout
pas d animation tout cela pour un prix exorbitant
Non vraiment très déçu de notre rébellion du jour de l an 2026
Les spectacles du soir sont suprimes pendant la période hivernal et le spa ne fonctionne que pendant le week-end
Au moment nous sommes venus un groupe de
Jeunes sportif collégien étaient la
Les repas du soir étaient vraiment mouvementé
Et ne corresponde pas à la clientèle de l hôtel
Je sais que l hôtel doit faire le plein pendant cette période pour rentabiliser leur structure mais pas au détriment des clients qui ont payé au plus cher la tranquillité de leur sejour
