Barceló Cabo de Gata

Las zonas exteriores muy bonitas y el buffet estaba bastante bien, las piscinas muy chulas

Nos encontramos una cucaracha en la habitación, esperábamos que al ser un Barceló tuviera las medidas higiénicas y desinfectantes necesarias para que no hubieran cucarachas. Además, que nos cobren la bebida aparte en el buffet y no te incluyan ni una botella de agua me parece excesivo

I recently enjoyed a four-night stay at the Barceló Cabo de Gata in Almería, having booked a Superior Double Room with Sea View. The transfer from the airport took around 10 minutes with no additional hotel drop-offs, which was a great start to the trip. My first impression of the hotel was how exceptionally clean it was. There was even a robot vacuum constantly moving around the public areas, helping to keep the floors spotless. Check-in was straightforward, although there was only one receptionist on duty, resulting in a short wait. As I arrived at 11:00am and rooms are officially available from 2:00pm, I wasn’t expecting early access. However, I was told my room would be prioritised, and less than 10 minutes later I received the keys to Room 274. The room exceeded my expectations. It was spacious, modern, and exactly as described on the website. The bathroom and bed were both generously sized, and there was ample wardrobe space with plenty of hangers. The room also included a minibar, kettle, tea and coffee-making facilities, and a hairdryer. Housekeeping visited daily to refresh the room. The balcony was a good size, although the sea view was somewhat restricted by trees. I also felt the trellis-style divider between balconies offered very little privacy. A guest in the neighbouring room regularly smoked on his balcony, and it often felt as though he was sitting right beside me. A more solid partition would greatly improve privacy and comfort. The hotel has three swimming pools, all of which were clean and well maintained. There were plenty of sunbeds, umbrellas, and shaded areas available, and lifeguards were on duty whenever the pools were open. A poolside drinks kiosk provided convenient access to refreshments throughout the day. I stayed on a half-board basis. Breakfast was excellent, with enough variety to suit most tastes. Dinner was less impressive. Service begins at 8:00pm, which felt quite late for me. While there was a good selection of salads, cold meats, and starters, the hot food was often disappointing. The meat dishes were frequently lukewarm or chewy, and throughout my stay the only side option seemed to be chips. It would have been nice to have alternatives such as rice or plain pasta to accompany fish and meat dishes. There is a small shop within the hotel, but it only sells souvenirs. It does not stock essentials such as drinks, snacks, sweets, or crisps. Adding these items would be a welcome improvement, as guests currently need to leave the hotel to purchase them. The nearest convenience store, Zeus, is around a 5–10 minute walk away. Turn left out of the hotel, then right at the roundabout, continue past the English school, and you’ll find it further along on the right. Two larger shops are approximately 15–20 minutes away. Turn right out of the hotel and continue until you reach a roundabout on a bend. Turn right there and both shops are located along that road. Continuing further will take you to the beach, allowing you to return to the hotel via the seafront. The surrounding area is fairly quiet and somewhat isolated, although there are a few restaurants nearby. Along the beachfront route back to the hotel, there is a small amusement area with a climbing wall, children’s games, and a pizzeria. There is also a lovely fish restaurant located directly on the beach. Overall, if you’re looking for a peaceful and relaxing holiday away from the hustle and bustle, this hotel is an excellent choice. The staff were friendly and welcoming, the rooms were spacious and immaculate, the facilities were well maintained, and the location is ideal for both the beach and airport. Despite a few minor drawbacks, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would happily return.

Vriedelijk personeel . Mooie kamers. Veel keus met de ontbijt/ avond buffet en van giede kwaliteit.

Erg druk en groot complex
