Excellent breakfast buffet

we went to barcelo to celebrate my partner's birthday, and it was wonderful! they surprised us with a cake, a bottle of cava, and a sweet birthday message in our room. the staff was super friendly, and the spa facilities are top-notch, perfect for relaxation. also, the location was convenient, just a short drive from marbella.

would recommend

Celebrating a birthday here was memorable, with a delightful cake and message waiting in the room upon arrival. The breakfast buffet offered a fantastic variety of regional products, adding to the enjoyable dining experience. However, the room felt basic for the price, and some amenities could use an upgrade to match expectations.

The room with spa access was amazing, and I loved relaxing in the outdoor pool after a long day. The breakfast buffet was a highlight, offering a delightful variety of options to start the day right. The dinner could’ve been better, but honestly, it didn’t take away from my overall experience. 😊

Here's my take on it

Celebrating a special occasion turned into an unforgettable experience. Upon arrival, we found a delightful cake, a bottle of cava, and a lovely birthday message awaiting us, courtesy of the attentive hotel team. The extensive buffet offered at breakfast and dinner was satisfying, making our stay truly enjoyable!

Consider requesting a room on a higher floor for better views of the golf course during your stay.

Modern facilities, Spacious rooms with good views, Relaxing spa services

Dining options lack variety over longer stays!!! Poor pool access hours limit enjoyment!!! Consider improving shuttle service communication to the beach for better guest experience!!!

i recently stayed here for four nights and it was a wonderful break during my long journey. the luxurious accommodations and attentive staff really exceeded my expectations, making me feel relaxed and rejuvenated. especially delightful was the birthday surprise arranged for my partner, which truly made our stay special.

the spa only opened at 4pm.

Our stay at Barcelo Costa Ballena brought us great joy. The attentive staff, and the luxurious spa was a perfect touch. While pool hours could be better managed, the beautiful surroundings compensated. I highly recommend it!

The spa offered great relaxation, yet the food quality was disappointing.

The Superior Double or Twin Room with Terrace and Spa Access was super comfy! The bed felt amazing, and the space was nice and clean. The terrace view of the golf course was lovely to wake up to. I also liked the little fridge and kettle in the room for convenience. Just wished the bathroom could've had a bit more flair. it felt a touch dated compared to the rest of the room.

I had an amazing time at a hotel where the breakfast buffet blew me away with its endless options, and the spa was a fantastic experience with attentive staff. The double room with a terrace provided stunning views that made every morning special. I would absolutely come back again for such unique and memorable experiences.

Pools only open from 4-7 pm, which limits fun. Theme dinner nights offered great variety in food options. Nice golf course nearby for enthusiasts. Friendly staff really made our stay enjoyable.
