Nice Hotel but is not 5 star . The food in the restaurant at night was awful as was the breakfast next day . It was cold and there were no name tags on the food so you have no idea what you are eating. Raised this with staff nobody was interested.
I don’t know many 5star hotels that serve a buffet as an evening meal with no waiter service
Left these comments on hotels own feed back form but yet have had no reply
Other guests were not happy with the food quality in the restaurant
The pool bar for lunch was perfect
This was a birthday surprise for my partner
Very disappointed
I notice on other web sites that the quantity of food and ranking of this Hotel has been a common complaint
The experience at Barcelo La Nuncia Palms was a big disappointment and borderline scam. Standards reflect a 3 star Motel, not a 5 star ‘luxury resort’, which is also reflected in the service level and compassion towards guests. One can accept a certain level of flaws with a newly opened hotel, but this was completely unacceptable and anyone considering to visit the hotel should be prepared to take a deep breath and monitor their pulse closely.
Despite filling in all the information in their “pre check-in form”, we still had to queue and provide the same information again, then to be told that the room would not be ready until later (4 hours after check-in opens). Once arriving in the room, they had forgot towels, amenities, robes, water, etc. which was then blamed on Corona when questioning in the reception… unacceptable. After raising my voice, we received towels and the following day, we received two bottles of water (without bottle opener, not included).
The pool area has one shallow pool for kids and one for adults. Despite this, one has to put up with screaming children in the adult pool with jumping and splashing, without the staff saying anything. The level of irritation amongst adults around the pool was high and nobody could relax. The pictures don’t give a fair view of the premises, and the surroundings are depressive with big supermarkets and car dealerships.
Again, massive disappointment and I’ll be seeking compensation for these 4 days of misery.
From check-in (which took approx. 1 hour) to the room allocation (which was wrong on the first occasion, to the dinner (which was far short of 5*), to the pool capacity (whereby guests had essentially rushed down before breakfast to throw towels on all the loungers so that by 10am everything was full), the place has a sense of having been rushed into opening without having an experienced team nor set of policies in place.
I struggle to see how this can be listed as a 5* hotel and, having stayed at others in the area, can comfortably say that it does not sit in the same category as them.
