I won't write an essay, just a list of good and bad points... Good points:- Staff were all friendly - with the exception of one barman at the beach bar . Bad points:- We were in a group of 10 people and so wanted a few sunbeds next to each other by the pool - (we didn't want 10, as... more

I think the whole point of this website is to give an honest report on the hotel you are staying at. So with that in mind i wont waffle on for hours talking about the resort or the trips (all of which we did were fantastic by the way) Like many others, upon reading recent reviews before myself and my... more

Really enjoyed our stay at the Barcelo. I don't understand where the complaints come from about the food as there was plenty of choice in the Buffet and the 3 ala carte restaurants were of a decent standard. Suspect the complaints come from the chips/fries with everything brigade. The staff in the hotel were very efficient and cheerfull . The... more

Just got back from barcelo costa and am now very depressed! This was my second visit and i have to say that the people who say that this hotel is dirty are just weird. It is constantly being cleaned day and night. The pool was cleaned every day. The staff were fantastic - friendly and helpful. Special mention to Jesus... more

We stayed at the Barcelo Costa for 2 weeks from 13th-27th July. We are 2 girls both aged 22 and we found this hotel to be perfect for us. It was everything we had hoped for. I do agree with some of the previous reviews, this is definately not a place for families with young kids or for anyone looking... more

Just returned from this hotel a week ago, what a waste of holiday time and money! The music was too loud all day long and it was either the dirty pool or the discharged deisel from the pirate ships that caused two of our parties ear infections. From flooded toilets, leaking ceilings . The hotels moto should be waste not... more
