Barcelo Tenerife

Location: Very near the airport. Planes flying over from 6am-11pm. Personally we like to see the planes in the sky but not everyone has the same opinion. Swimming pools: There are about 7 different swimming pools. The first two days we discover them. The one near the sea is more busy, there is one very un-deep for kids. Adults only with salt water and one near the Breeze bar, our favorite. There are signs that its not allowed to reserve sunbeds but i experienced to take your sunbeds around 7:30-8:00am to have your place. After (late) breakfast all seats are occupied. Half of the reserved beds are not in use, the staff should manage this. There are dedicated smoking areas but there is no control by the staff, several people are smoking at the sunbed even some near the breakfast place outside. It's possible to use the kayak only in between 3pm-4pm, most of the time too hot. We did it on a cloudy afternoon, it was nice but too short since more people wanted to use it in between the 45 available minutes. The Aperol Spritz bar is not included in the all in price, extra €5 to pay but the Aperol Spritz in the other bars are included and good quality Rooms: We had a standard room for two people. It was big enough. Daily cleaned with a view near one of the swimming pools. The bath in the bathroom is not need for adults since it takes some place. Maybe good for small children. Traveling with 3 adults is with a not comfortable sofa bed for the third person. Therefore we booked an additional room for the third adult for extra €400. Royal Level: The price for Royal level was €300 extra each person. We did not take it. There is a dedicated royal level swimming pool, Aperol Spritz bar and special area in the buffet. San Blas Environmental Reserve is located in front of the hotel. There is only access in between the hottest hours of the day (12am-6pm). We wanted to do it during the cloudy day but refused to pay €8 each person. Maybe it's worth to do out of the summer months. During the check-in it was communicated that the hotel has digital information. The application doesn't worked (it was not possible to sign in), the information displays where not in service. Conclusion: We traveled with 5 adults in 3 rooms in the middle of September coming from Belgium by plane. We paid €1200 each person, €1600 for the one adult in separate room. The All-inclusive have good bars with good beer, soft drinks and cocktails. Lunch is possible in the restaurant or near the swimming pools with hamburger and French fries and desserts. Dinner with good wine in the buffet restaurants. One voucher for one of the a la cart restaurants where we had a very good Italian diner. I made a total review of our experience with some details as positive feedback. I really recommend this hotel for family and friends

Just back from our 5th stay have already booked for our 10 year wedding anniversary next september.We had our 1st room on the lakefront as oppose to the a block where we had been for the last 4 times and we did prefer the a block so fingers crossed for next year.The staff are welcoming and friendly especially the b lounge and the bar near the entertainment.Hotel grounds lovely and clean as always full marks to everyone at barcelo see you next year
