“Fair hotel - but no way five stars”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 November 2011

The Barcelo hotel is big with around 1.000 beds. It lies close to a sandy/pebbly beach and has a rather large pool. The hotel is a bit run down and should need a refresh. Present repairs are many times ugly done. Staying at the hotel you do not have the five start feeling. It is more like a rather cheap three star hotel. You miss the beauty down to details that you expect from a five star hotel.

Our room was very good (3201). We had a nice see view even though we had not paid extra for “sea-view”. We also had a much larger “balcony” than our friends next door. The room even included a large safety box without extra charge.

Wi-Fi is “only” available in the lobby. “Only” because we were lucky. In our room we had access to the free Wi-Fi from the surrounding hotels. In the bed I had fair access to one hotel and in the bathroom I had perfect access to another. Sometimes you are lucky.

Service varies a lot. Sometimes it is fun and engaged. But most of the time it is sloppy without any finesse. Particularly during breakfast it fails tremendously. You have to yourself try to find cups and cutleries. On the other hand they come and take your plate before you finish. Some of the guys were really nice. But I think this is a management problem. The staff really does not know what a customer expects.

The “all-inclusive” is a joke. A big joke. During breakfast you have to pay to get a freshly pressed glass of orange use. Woa – that is even included in the breakfast on my regular three star hotel back home. Same at the bar. Only 10 out of 45 listed alcoholic items are free. The other 35 you have to pay for. You also have to pay the same price as all other guests, who have not paid for “all-inclusive.

Yes, the “all-inclusive” is a big joke. Even ice-cream is only included a few hours a day. And the included wines are horrible. Much worse than €1/liter Languedoc wines. If you have any feeling for wine – get the €25 bottles from the trolley (not included of course).

The hotel has three restaurants. The big buffet hall and two ala carte restaurants. With “all-inclusive” you can once a week book one of the restaurants. Do that – if you can find a table. The big buffet restaurant is horrible. It is so noisy. Hard floors, hard walls and hard roofs play an important role in this. The restaurant really needs sound insulation in the roof and on the walls as well as some screens. Take a table outside is possible.

The food in the buffet restaurant is varied and there are many courses to choose from. But these are not up to European standards. Far from it. The only thing almost up to European standard are the fried eggs ;-( The food seemed to be a failed try to make Europeanized Turkish food. The vegetables however were very good.

The beach is OK. It is pebbly. Not in the way of a Sussex beach. Here you have nice sand. But on the way to the water you have to cross a stretch with pebbles. They are softly rounded by the sea, so this is not a problem. The problem is shortly after you enter into the water. There is another stretch of pebble that makes getting into or out of the water problematic for elderly or disabled. So take care.

This was our first stay in Belek/Antalya. But we have been to many many other resorts in the countries around the Mediterranean. Compared to these I cannot recommend this hotel. What really drags down the impression is the “non-inclusive”, the quality of the food and the quality of service.

Dear Mr. Kjellkri,

First of all, thank you very much for your comments and for choosing us to enjoy your holidays.

In reference about your opinion of breakfast service, we are really sorry because everyday cups and cutleries are on the tables ready for all our customers and if they are not there, any of our staff will bring it immediately and replace properly. This is a isolated problem and will not occur again. F&B managers have been informed to double check this issue.

Also we would like to inform you that the beaches with pebbles are similar around Belek area. Usually there are not so many pebbles but October storms have brought many to the shore.

Of course, all your comments will help us to improve much more in the future.

“Not a 5* hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 August 2011 via mobile
1
person found this review helpful

Hotel needs serious refurbishment, rooms good size but dated, lobby no AC very hot, wifi available in the lobby not high speed, animation team doing good job but all in Russian or Polish, decent beach, nice golf courses, great hotel garden with palm trees, food nothing special repetitive, try water pipes and turkish coffee from little store/bar in the lobby-owner is great!, if u don't play golf nothing to do outside the hotel or nowhere to go, 90% of the guest from eastern europe some very rude and not eager to wait in lines for food like everybody else, beach chairs reserved early morning for most of the day, swimming pool ok but small, basically what im trying to say is not totaly bad experience but not what u would expect from a 5* resort. Resort itself is more like a 3* by the US or western european standarts. Turkey itself very interesting.

Lobby as we know the high temperatures we have in high season.

Also we would like to explain you that outside of the hotel, even if you do not play golf, you

Anyway, all your comments will help us to improve much more in the future.

“goed hotel but not verry turky's more international”

person found this review helpful

I was in August at the hotel came to 2.30 in the night and the reception was even a neat bag with a sandwich, fruit and a packet of drink we got into the room
The room was very clean and tidy even enough clothes hangers in the wardrobe room safe neat bathroom, toilet, shower, toilet
Daily cleaning my congratulations on this tremendous effort here was I even contracted with a check made that there was very extensively conducted by two ladies
During my stay there were mainly guests from Eastern Europe and Russia, I think that this many things in this hotel are attuned to entertainment and food
The food in the hotel is very good and the hygiene standards and are very highly respected (staff with disposable gloves, hair coverings ect) a shame that more international dishes from the traditional Turkish cuisine were (but this is one of the two flaws that I could see it)
All the staff was very friendly and always helpful and attentive
The second drawback is that the hotel photographer with a parrot and a great chameleon in the round was also very aggressive and pushy had photographs made of people with these animals on their bodies that were often highly intrusive, even if people indicated that they want and these children were put on their animals even though they were afraid of my way, my daughter was scared when I said something about the photographer was very aggressive towards me and my hair in bad English that I use does not interfere with their trade had very aggressive and looked at me straight in the eye at close range which I like very threatening experience, I took him in Turkish, told that he had to change immediately, I would lodge a complaint here he was shocked and went straight to his companion animals but The road would grace the hotel to ban animals used for these purposes and these photographers courtesy and conduct a course to follow so they at least sit at the level of the rest of the staff
But despite this incident had a good time with my daughter Barceló Tat Beach

“A perfect stay in a beautiful resort”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 August 2011
3
people found this review helpful

Dear Hotel and Team,

First of all we'd love to say thank you for all your job, we spent a very nice week in your hotel.

We stayed in Barceló Tat Beach beginning of August. With my boyfriend we were really happy to spend our holidays in Turkey. Before we checked some previous reviews here about the Hotel and I have to tell you that reading some very bad comments the only thing I can tell you that many people seem very negative and they just can't enjoy their holidays because they don't want...

We enjoyed all the dinners mostly in the Italian restaurant with the beautiful view of the sea. It was just perfect, very romantic. And the best buffett dinner was the Turkish evening! With my boyfrined we love the breakfasts in the hotels, you had their everything. Their were some critical hours when many people were coming to the restaurant in the same time, but we were patient as we didn't have rush and you could see that waiters were trying to do always their best.

The water was nice warm, sometimes maybe too warm, but than we just quickly jumped into the swimming pool and it refreshed us immediately.

We had a very nice room with daily cleaning, what else you need if you actually don't spend your day in the hotel room, almost all the day we spent on the beach.

One day we also visited Side, very nice historical village just next to the sea with lot of shops, so we could buy there some gifts for the family.

Maybe one, kind of negative comment about the hotel, we are a couple, and at least in summertime most of the clients are coming with children, and if you wanna spend a very relaxed romantic holiday with your couple maybe not this is the best hotel to choose. But as we love children it was also no problem for us. But as I heard from October when the weather is still very nice there are less big families and more couples. Maybe we will come back later this year but next year for sure and we will recommend the hotel to our friends.

So just many thanks again to all the hotel team and management, as I guess, those 2-3 young men who were walking around the hotel all the day, speaking with clients and taking care about everything, they should have been part of the management.

And one more suggestion if you have any question or need help just go directly to the guest relation, a nice young girl, she will help you in anything.

Hope to see you soon again Barceló! :)
