Just returned from 7 nights at the Barcelo and had a really good holiday. I went with my mum and we had got a great rate via a hotel website and with Ryanair flights it worked out a bargain holiday. I knew of the hotel before as we normally stay in San Pedro in a friends villa but as there... More

We travelled here courtesy of Tesco Clubcard vouchers in April 2011 and didn't have very high expectations in view of the reviews. Well, we were pleasantly surprised! It's actually in the middle of a nice but built up area that is full of villas and apartments in the endless sprawl that runs from Malaga south. It appeared from the photos... More

We chose the hotel based on the price and the number of stars and we were not disappointed. The hotel is a little far away from everything else and it is set in a residential area of Marbella. The hotel has a parking at a cost but it is not needed bacuase if you are patient you can find a... More

Did not know why, but it took us much time to find the hotel by driving around in the dark. It has a nice, large lobby, huge garage where we can park. The reception was anyhow not that friendly.

The hotel is beautiful and has a lovely breakfast buffet. There is a golf course right there and a driving range, which was great. That's about it. The hotel staff were unpleasant and unhelpful. We soon found out that the hotel caters mostly to Spanish families and come midnight on our first night when we wanted to have a drink... More

Quite a distance from Malaga airport. Got a public bus to Marbella which was situated directly outside the airport - 4.31 euros each but be prepared to queue. We got there in time but bus filled quickly so we had to wait an hour and a half for the next one. Although apparently during summer months the buses run every... More

We had a lovely relaxing break at the Barcelo in October. The hotel is a little out of the way and I would say not much going on for families. However, as this was our first trip abroad without our children who are now grown up, it was very quiet and relaxing. We were on a special offer of full... More

It is quite good hotel, nice room, great swimming pool. But prepare to be patient at front desk... More
