"Barcelo has 6 hotels on the property to accommodate all price ranges and specific needs (like the adults only hotel). The area is very large so be prepared to walk a lot! The grounds are immaculate; the rooms are very clean and well maintained. They kept the fridge stocked with water, soda, beer and nuts every day. They keep the room temps a little too cold and I could never figure out how to adjust the thermostat and maintain the temp I wanted. It was always around 19 C which is about 64 F. The food at the buffet was always fresh and hot and the specialty restaurants were fabulous! The staff is multi-lingual, except for the gals who clean the rooms. Most of them only speak Spanish. The check in process was smooth and luckily there weren't large groups checking in at the same time however; checking out was awful. They need a separate line for check-outs. I waited for over 30 minutes behind people who were checking in and we almost missed our shuttle. That would be my only complaint is the check-out process. Give yourself PLENTY of time when you're ready to leave. Also - the bartenders are very friendly and remember your preferences. We always tipped them $1 every time we went to get drinks, and they appreciate it very much! Pools are very clean and huge! Never felt crowded and there is plenty of seating both around the pools and on the beach."
