Barcelo Royal Beach Hotel

The hotel is of a good standard and the staff speak good English. In terms of facilities they have 3 out door pool and one in door pool. The beauty section is very good and there 4 types of meat with each sittings of food On the down side it limited for people with disabilities rooms in the room but plus side lots of lifts

We visited in the middle of September and noticed that the peak season was coming to an end. The staff was nice and helpful. The temperatures were fine, ranging from 18 to 24 in the daytime. Neither the indoor or outdoor pools were heated which meant it was too cold to swim in them, for the whole week we saw maybe 10 people in total go in the pool. We had all-inclusive and there was almost constantly food available which was nice. The selections varied some but a lot of things were repeats. The room was fine, it was big and spacious. The cleaners were nice, but I would not describe the rooms as very well cleaned. Superficially they looked fine, but there was a layer of dust on the nightstands and tables, as well as quite dusty under the bed. I also found a hair on the edge of the tub/shower. On the ground floor there was a good range of stores around the hotel, like an outdoor mall. When we visited there was unfortunately few of them that was still open, and we noticed in general that a lot of the stores and booths in sunny beach had closed for the season. Would love to come back a bit earlier so we could experience more of sunny beach. The food at the Chinese restaurant across the street on the Southside of the hotel was great, I would highly recommend.

I have an apartment at the hotel and I must compliment the hotel management on the continued high standard of the grounds, pools, gym, spa area etc. Whenever I arrive I just walk through reception area to the pool area and enjoy the view or have a beer before checking in. The breakfasts also I must compliment on, what a terrific choice and standard with a chef on hand to give choice of eggs also if requested. I am trying to eat healthy but been English/Irish I had to try the large Cumberland sausages - which had a lovely flavour....there were 3 different choices I think, also I watching the breads but had a finish on a croissant.....just lovely view of the lovely pools too - shout out also to Desislava Todarova in the Galaxy office at reception - the Developers and management company whom is very knowledge and just lovely Patrick - Block E

This was my third visit to this hotel and the first time all inclusive which did not disappoint there was always plenty of choice even for the fussy eaters in our party. Staff were very friendly and helpful and I must single out the guest relations manager Todor Georgiev (I apologise if the spelling is wrong) he had a chat with us everyday to ensure we were having a lovely holiday and assuring us if we had any issues or problems he was there to help. There were plenty of beds and umbrellas around the pools and activities if you wanted to join in. Fresh pool towels everyday if you wanted them. Location of the hotel is also great for the beach and shopping and bars

Not a five star hotel, On arrival there were only two family’s so no waiting at reception,passport given and in return we were given our key cards and directed back out of the hotel turn right and look for block A. After a two hundred meter walk we came to the entrance, no offer of help with our baggage. The entrance looks like a block of flats a bit run down and not welcoming, the picture shows the entrance showing a tile that had fallen of the step. There is no reception here or any facilities not even a WC. The apartment was clean but dull ever-thing a brown or beige and a bit dated. Back to the reception due to a lot a of water on the bathroom floor and no toiletries.(toilet rolls). I asked do we have to walk out of the building to get to the main building and security explain the route and which corridors to use, you do come out at the back of the building down a number of stairs then across towards the main building. I asked where are the Restaurant's and do we need wrist bands for drinks, these were over looked because they were busy while booking in. I explained she booked us in and no one was waiting. So reception large bright and clean completely different from the blocks around it. Pool area, sun-beds all gone by 07:30, I’m a early riser and like to read, a lot of guest complain around 10:00am that their is none left, most beds are not used till after lunch. Bar staff work hard and you never wait long to be served, I’m sat near the bar writing this review and all the tables still have last nights drinks on them, these don’t get cleared off till the bar opens at 10am, never seen this at any hotel regardless if five star or not. Pools: two main one’s, both have broken or loose tiles, Aqua-aerobics during the day. Show- time, the stage is small on a patch of grass with what looks like park bench’s. Entertainment poor unless your six or below. Two restaurants both serving the same food, these never seem busy. Food wise I can’t complain plenty choice and cooked fresh. Sports bar(22 tvs): Went watch to watch the Manchester City match, only one of the of the Tv,s showing this, asked for the sound up but the staff like the music channels. Left drink and went across the road to watch. Location: ideal for the beech and shopping,using the back gate. Out of the front door, go left a number of Restaurants with artist on and a short walk to flower street. Has a base great location, as for the five star rating they need to address this and adjust the price accordingly.

Had a fabulous holiday in this beautiful hotel. Amazing staff who couldn't do enough for you and the Guest Relations manager , Mr Todoz Georgiev was extremely welcoming and friendly and always available. The hotel is perfectly situated near to the strip and beach. The poolside grounds were well maintained with a choice of 3 pools and a great selection of drinks at the poolside bar. The large room was spotlessly clean and tidy with a large bathroom and shower with a balcony overlooking the complex. This is definitely a hotel we would visit again in the future.
