Barceló Aruba - All Inclusive

The property did not have enough beach chairs nor chairs near the pool. never received wash clothes asked every day and food at buffet cold every day only one pool small beach area overcrowded the specialty restaurant were good. Would not recommend

Food wasn’t that great but the staff there were amazing. Victor at the pool bar was awesome and always made my drinks during the day. Armando and Erick at the lobby bar always had a smile on their faces and kept me company, they also made the bast passion fruit martinis and espresso martinis

The food was mediocre at best. Had to ask for towels everyday. For all inclusive there was a lack of food choices and the restaurants weren’t that great. Wouldn’t go back.

My partner and I stayed for a long weekend, we booked an all inclusive but the WiFi was -10 literally restaurants outside the resort had better WiFi than inside. Staff at the buffet weren't too nice, they would take forever to come offer our drinks and then we'd get up for own drink and bartenders will tell us to go sit and wait to be served... the Mexico Lindo restaurant in the resort wasn't so great and it was weird we were the only table seated with about 8 staff staring at us while eating. Idk, Aruba was beautiful just unsure if I would go back to the same resort

This was our first time in Aruba, me and my family have stayed in many all inclusive hotels in DR and Mexico. We definitely had higher expectations from the property and amenities provided. This is definitely not a 5 star hotel, there was no “luxuries” provided. The rooms are very worn out and average. The food at the buffet was consistent with all other all inclusive hotels but a smaller selection. The staff was very friendly and housekeeping kept the rooms clean. We enjoyed dining at their restaurants. The issue was with the condition of the room, it was very worn out old furniture and a lot of wear and tear. The beach chairs were another issue, we would be there by 6am every morning and all of the shaded areas were taken by 6am! We never had that before, it looks like some people pay off the staff to reserve them seats or something or get up at 4am - not sure. Most of the loungers were old and broken, and very limited chairs if you want to sit. I never expected this from a 5 star property. They are very strict with their towels too, and there were times when they had no clean ones to give us for hours. Overall I would give it 3 stars

Nice, quiet, well located. I had a wonderful time
