    Barcelo Aruba - Great First Time

    Barcelo was a great time! I would recommend the Royal level for an elevated experience. I would also recommend NOT booking a room that overlooks the hotel pool next door in building 1. Ours was 1601. The loud music and traffic sounds from the alleyway kept us up into the early morning hours for two nights. We upgraded to a suite, 1818, which has a pool and ocean view, and was awesome! Food is mediocre and needs to be updated with more flavor! The beach is beautiful but limited on shade at certain times of the day. The palapa's you see in the online pictures are reserved for the timeshare owners and generally not available. The resort needs to figure out a system for the seating in the pool. There is limited pool seating for the size of the resort, and you get the people that will place their towels on the seats and disappear for the most of the day! Overall great experience and looking forward to return.

    Barcelo is the best!

    Barcelo is my favorite place to go! From the second you walk into the hotel they make you feel welcomed. Ivette is the best! She set up all my restaurant reservations for me and managed to get me and my family all on the same floor. (We are a group of 14) The restaurants and staff were amazing! Book Barcelo for your next vacation you won’t be disappointed I can’t wait to come back!

    Beautiful views

    The beach and servers were the best part. Maria, Lina & Carmen were kind, personable and so helpful! Vanessa in the lobby was an absolute jewel.
