This hotel is fantastic..however the transfer to/from airport (Faro) is long due to the many drop offs in Portugal (we were on a package holiday) so would recommend taxi or hire car. We stayed on an all inclusive basis which was great value for money and the food was excellent a good variety especially at breakfast. The resturant opening times... more

The hotel voucher gave this hotel as the intended destination: I let the satnav do the rest. We were told that the "agent"... more

I went to the Barcelo Isla Canela on my own for a week's complete break. Although I was on my own, I quickly made friends with a couple and another single lady who was also on her own. The Barcelo is a Spanish hotel with the majority of guests being Spanish which is great if you don't want a holiday... more
