The hotel is complex is a calling environment to be in and our room was large and comfortable. The staff and the service they provided were excellent. They’re all super-friendly and happy to help. I’m vegan and my girlfriend had a gluten allergy and we both found it easy to eat at the buffet. The staff made it clear to my girlfriend what she could/couldn’t eat and when we asked for vegan or gluten free desserts they were happy to go to the kitchen and get us some. Would definitely go back there.

I don’t often review a hotel 24 hours into a five night stay, however it has already been such a wonderful experience that I’m confident to be able to post so soon! The hotel and grounds are gorgeous with lots of different native trees, bushes, shrubs and cactus and lots of information about them. Inside there are lots of works of art from local artists and plenty of serene areas to relax. The service from all the staff has been absolutely first class. The buffet restaurant is far and away the best all-inclusive buffet I’ve experienced (and if you read my other reviews you’ll see I’ve been quite a few!) The choice is fantastic and everything is freshly prepared and very tasty. There are two different pool bars next to 2 of the many swimming pools they have (and because there are so many pools and so many lounges it’s never a problem to find somewhere in the Sun to relax) and a wonderful lounge bar. The cocktails are probably the best all inclusive cocktails I’ve experienced and as I said the service has been superb. My bedroom (standard twin room) is very nice and clean, in fact the whole hotel is pristine. I will definitely be back and would 100% recommend this hotel.

We are a family of 3 with a teenage kid, stayed in a hotel early April for 4 nights. Loved the experience! The staff is very attentive, hospitable and nice. The food is amazing including themed dinners. The territory is big enough but not huge, there is a lake for 5 minutes fun kayaking. There are many pools but only one was heated, so it gets crowded. Nice pool is by the sea, but it was too windy over there. The hotel designed as volcano with all the nice details, excellent lobby bar with a view. We took half board and it was more than enough. I particularly liked evening shows-they are 30-40 min. And different every time. There is an opportunity to take a walk at the waterfront with a views to cliffs and volcano in the sea. Supermarket is 5 min drive. It’s a bit far(30 min) from coastal touristic busy area but it has its charm. Also airport is very close so if you don’t like planes, it’s not for you, they are frequently flying. Overall, super nice stay.

Brilliant hotel, initially it felt like a maze but once we figured out where to go it was fun. Lots of walking around inside the hotel. The food was nice and they had themed nights at Drogo.
Every night there would be some show and evenings fun masterclasses on local themes including making barraquito coffee, aqua gym in the pools, wine tasting, bingo, kayaking etc. There was an acrobatic performance one night.
The animation team is incredible!!
The Barcelo app imo is a very nice thing they have, it also lets you order from housekeeping or booking dinner breakfast inside the hotel.
I think on the website all inclusive can be defined better(does not include the ala carte hotels).
The staff was friendly and helpful.
Metered taxis from the TFS airport is approx 20euro.
The area is quiet and far from the heavily tourist areas like costa adeje.

Huge resort with great staff and only 10 mins from airport. Regular planes overhead but can't say they bothered us.
Advertised as 5 star but only just 4 star in most areas. Bathrooms need updating. Rooms adequate but clean. Royal level worth paying more for with regards to food service and pool options but pool area only open for towel change/drinks at 11am. Far too late. No rush for sunbeds & plenty available. Dolce Vita restaurant was lovely.
Food is fine but self service hotplate food always luke warm. Mugs in room don't fit under coffee maker so totally pointless.
Numerous cockroaches in bathroom first night so moved to a lake view room, but so many midges outside we couldn't use the balcony.
Would we return? No. Resort much too big for us, minibar chargeable if you want it restocked - even though all inclusive, Royal level isn't adults only and we'd prefer places to walk to as it's a resort with nothing to do nearby. Staff outshone the resort
