Barceló Tenerife

Alastair Scott

Overall we had a great trip and lovely holiday at the Barcelo. The resort itself is stunning, there was plenty sun loungers and good beach towels provided, we didn’t feel the morning rush to get the sun loungers which made it more relaxed. The bars and drinks were really nice and the hotel is in a lovely quieter area with lovely coastal walks. There is a really good range of activities during the day supplied by the hotel. If this was a 4 star hotel it’d be everything you expect. However, they market themselves as 5 star and they charge 5 star all inclusive prices. Sadly for us this doesn’t match the 5 star price tag. Just some minor changes can really elevate this hotel which you see time and time again reading the reviews here in which I can say they are not acting upon. We would note the following; The food at the buffet is good for all inclusive buffet but for the 5 star price tag I would expect some Al a carte restaurants included in this. The cocktails and drinks are really nice here but it’s disappointing that the all inclusive package does not include drinks like espresso martinis, pornstar martinis etc included. Instead they cost extra unless you’ve paid the over inflamed price tag of royal level (it’s a rip off price tag) it’s again disappointing to see when you’ve already paid the 5 star hotel price tag. No mini bar drinks provided in the rooms as part of the all inclusive package - again this was an over inflated price tag. Again not something you expect with 5 star Even small things like a welcome drink on arrival is not supplied. The biggest disappointment though which leaves a real sour note on checking out is they will cut your wrist band at 12:00 and ask you to pay extra if you want any hotel drink or food even if you ask in advance that your flight is later. This for us is one of the biggest dissapointment and not something we have ever experienced before in other 5 star all inclusive hotels. We had a great holiday and would love to return for next year but we will be reading reviews to see if there has been any changes as this is not the first of these issues being raised by many others.

Lovely hotel with helpful and friendly staff. Lorraine the chef who did the ‘origins’ breakfasts was great and explained all the authentic dishes well. It was lovely to have an option different to the eggs and bacon etc. the hotel is in a quiet area which I enjoyed. There are lots of walks nearby and a bus that stops right outside the hotel. There are a lot of families but also an adults only pool which is quieter. I was out most days but many people seemed to enjoy the hotel enough to stay every day. The room was wonderful with a wraparound balcony. Would stay again!

My partner and I stayed here for 5 nights in May 2026, on a half board basis. It was our second time at this hotel and we are very pleased we came back. Room: could not fault it. We were on the fourth floor and had a pleasant view over the many pools at the hotel. The beds were comfy and there was plenty of space to store our belongings. Service: all staff from reception to the buffet were friendly and helpful. We made use of the Courtesy Lounge on our final day which was a big positive as our airport transfer departed at around 3pm. Location: for us, the hotel is in a perfect spot. It's 15 minutes from the airport with easy walking access to Los Abrigos and Golf del Sur. We got the bus to El Medano on one day which is a nice little town with some good spots to chill out at the beach. If I had to give one small bit of feedback - it would be nice if half board customers could have water with dinner at no extra cost. I obviously don't mind buying soft drinks but €3.50 for a bottle of still water with your evening meal feels a little cheeky. But overall, we had an amazing holiday here and hope to be back at some point in the future. Gracias Barceló!

The hotel is well located, just a ten minute drive from the airport on a quiet place. The rooms are big and confortable. There are various pools, including a heated one and one only for adults. The staff is very kind and helpfull, particularly Carla Fajardo from the restaurant, who made us feel welcome and is very professional and polite. As points to improve, the cleanning of the bedrooms could be better and also the variety of food at the buffet.

We’re currently staying at Barceló Tenerife on an all-inclusive trip and honestly, it’s been such a great experience so far. We booked two adjoining rooms as we’re here with my dad and my husband, and the hotel staff were so helpful — they even arranged for the two single beds to be made into a proper double, which made a big difference for comfort. The room itself is really nice, clean, and well looked after, and the bed is genuinely so comfy — always a win when you’re away from home. The sun loungers are another highlight, super comfortable and perfect for relaxing by the pool. Speaking of pools, the choice here is excellent. There’s plenty of space and different options depending on whether you want something lively or more chilled. The buffet has also been really good, with a wide variety of food so there’s always something for everyone, which is ideal when you’re travelling as a group. Overall, we’re having a lovely stay and would definitely recommend it for a relaxing, all-inclusive holiday with great facilities and attentive service. We will definitely be back!
