I don't think all Barcelo Hotels are the same standard. Food good could always get something you liked, large rooms and pool was fantastic. Air conditioning didn't work properly, was in a group and everyone was the same, also tour leader said at end of holiday. Hotel staff were not too friendly, first hotel 4* in Europe that I came...

Went for two weeks with Senior Holidays . We had booked Barcelo Isla Canela but at last minute our travel agent ,( John Galligan Travel) switched us to the Porto Umbria due to problems they were encountering at the first hotel. What a fortunate switch !! This hotel was great - location and the best and most varied food you... More

We got a great deal with Travel Senior, whch I understand was subsidised by Spanish government to encourage off peak tourism. Accommodation was 'full board' (3 meals a day). Flights, bags, transfers and 2 excurions were included and we stayed 2 weeks. The bedroom was very large and suitable. We could see no signs of the shabbiness complained of in... More

We stayed in this excellant hotel for 4 weeks with Saga. The hotel was very clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. The entertainment team was hard working and provided a selection of fun things to do every day. The food was excellent and we never tired of it, as there was always plenty of choice. Every day there... More

We stayed with SAGA, having selected the hotel for its specific location and the surrounding area. Individualy addressed information was distributed on the coach and keys and further information were issued in reception, with a very warm welcome from Mary and Tony. Despite the lateness of the hour, an extensive buffet awaited us in the restaurant and when we went... More

We stayed here for Christmas 2007 (see my review) and had a great time so we thought we would return this year for Christmas plus New Year. We arrived at the hotel later than expected on the evening of 20th December. We were very disappointed to find that the Saga Reps we had before - John, Sue and Kathy were... More

Great place to stay if there's a good deal on offer. Lovely location close to beach. Very dated town. The hotel is fine, but nothing special ... just lacks a certain something. No quiet bar to relax ... you'd have to put up with the 70's style entertainment - so we went out to a nearby bar instead. Room smelt... More

This lovely hotel is on the outskirts of Punta Umbria and about a 20 minute walk into the centre of the town. It's beachfront location is perfect with rolling dunes and a wide clean beach accessible from a coded gate at the back of the hotel. When we first arrived we were 2 of only about 10 other British guests... More
