Lovely hotel to look at, nice reception and welcoming staff. This changes as soon as you are in the hotel and checked in. There were drinks glasses left around the hotel on ledges etc that were not cleaned up.
Food was terrible and could barely be eaten. You have to book your dinner slot between 6-7pm and 8.30-9pm which felt silly. We managed to eat breakfast in the hotel but rest of the time we had to eat elsewhere, the fact that they had two paid restaurants that had lovely food made it even more frustrating that they were capable of cooking good food but don’t.
Pool was okay, hot and cold pools. But the cold pool is riddled with seagulls, I stepped on a fish while in the water which was more than unpleasant. Staff at the bars were slow and honestly quite shocking. Four people in the bar, three standing around talking and just one serving a long line of people. They did some frozen cocktails but it was hit or miss, sometimes lovely, sometimes it would taste very bad.
Such a lovely location on the marina and a huge building. But the there needs to be more staff, better food and drinks to justify the price of all inclusive. I would not have paid what I did if I knew how everything would be at the hotel. Quite disappointing and would have loved to return if these things are fixed.

Amazing hotel in a fab location. Rooms are modern with plenty of storage. Entertainment staff are so energetic and really engaging. Good selection of food but there isn’t enough staff for clearing table but this does seem to be improving. The main issue for us is that the heated pool is only marginally warmer than the non heated pool. We had mentioned this to reception and the pool was heated on Tuesday and noticeable warmer than the non heated pool. Since then it hasn’t been heated and has returned to marginally warmer than the non heated pool.

Amazing facilities and beautifully put together. We were Royal Level (adults only) and it’s like a different hotel to the main side, food was very nice and a wide range of premium drinks and cocktails with the all inclusive. Only thing that let the place down was the lack of staff, queuing for drinks took and age and there were no staff to clean up tables in the bars so it made everything look a bit dirty, not want you expect from a hotel of this price. A consideration for anyone booking a room with a plunge pool or ‘swim up’ as they call it, unless you get a room that is sea facing you will not get sun all day, one of the rooms they offered us to upgrade to didn’t get any sun on the pool area until 3pm so totally useless as the water was too cold to be in anyway.

Excellent location, amazing hotel grounds, nice & varied food options and really lovely animation team! Thank you team Barcelo Playa Blanca for an amazing holiday! If you want to make it even better next time, you should have more staff on the floor during breakfast & dinner to make sure foods do not run out and start your evening program for the kids earlier, not at 8:30pm when all of us are already so tired 😴 we’ll be back! 😘

Great location massive and nice rooms.
Service is poor, staff have an attitude going on.
Needs a fair bit maintenance already. Be careful of tables in restaurant as razor sharp corners. Wife ripped her dress on one.
Food isn’t amazing feels like it’s been out for ages. Not as fresh as could be.
Poor labelling, overcooked meat and undercooked potatoes, poor labelling.
Management are running a tight ship. They already have your money attitude.
