    Highly recommend

    My family and I had the best week at the Barcelo! The view from the room was beautiful, the beach & weather was perfect, but what really made our stay was the staff! The bartenders kept the drinks and the laughs coming! We love Xavier, Victor, and Armando! They made us feel like family all week!

    Overall good, bad experience with gift shop.

    The gift shop overpriced, rude, and awful. Otherwise the bartenders and servers are amazing! Jonathon and rodell at seafood Aruba are amazing! Made the experience.

    An Awesome Trip

    We had a wonderful, exciting, and fun time staying at the Barcelo! Making it such an amazing time were the wonderful team of people that you have employed! I’ve been coming for years (back when it was The Occidental) and it’s because of people like Melvin, Jissette, Carolina, Karina, Jaime and Maria that make it such an enjoyable stay! Everyone is friendly, with a positive attitude, amenable and helpful!! I want to thank each of them for making our vacation such an awesome time!!!

    Experience of a lifetime

    I love the opulence, atmosphere, location, rooms, service and vibes of the Barcelo. Everyone we encountered was amazing. Especially Diauna at the Palms, Anna and Maria at the lobby bar. Lisa at Front desk, the Bellmen and B at the Concierge.
