The first problem is the hotel is advertised as a 4 star, but when dining is limited to a buffet, when they charge for in room safe, towel replacement and have possibly the worst entertainment ever, it shouldn't be a 4 star. On the plus side the hotel is gorgeous to look at. Food was awful, I am not a... More

We stayed here for 1 week May 2013. Although the hotel is large, it had a 'small feel' to it because of the layout and the fact that there is plenty of space for sunbathing. When we arrived, there were many older Spanish couples there, which added to the authentic Spanish experience. We stayed on an all inclusive basis and... More

We stayed here in august 2012 it was our first holiday abroad as a couple. At first we booked a different hotel and it got changed by first choice. We believe the isla canela was the better choice. All inclusive is a must. The food was different every night and an al fresco dining area made a nice change. We... More

We stayed at Barcelo Isla Canela last October. We have just booked again for May as we had previously had a fantastic stay. We took our 1 yr old daughter with us, and due to the staff in reception and in the restaurant were so friendly and helpful we have decided to go back with her. The food selection was... More

Had one weeks all inclusive stay at this hotel and found overall it was a pleasant stay. Food at all meals was excellent with a good variety of dishes to choose from. Drinks selection included some top brands and there was always cava on ice for a lighter choice. Staff were extremely helpful and pleasant from waiting staff, chefs, receptionists... More

Returned from 2 weeks in this hotel on 18 October and can honestly say we could not fault it. The staff in reception and in the restaurant were extremely friendly and helpful. The food was cooked virtually in front of you so was always hot and fresh - and the variety, wonderful. No-one could remain hungary. A dedicated vegetarian may... More

Hotel great, with some minor issues so criticisms first: Faulty electrics in one room when we arrived, however this got resolved after a couple of visits to reception. Our rooms were over the bar and evening entertainment kept us awake on a couple of occasions. Indoor pool not big enough for swimming - also sign said we must wear caps... More

Booked 5 days all inclusive to this fab resort -weather was lovely and didn't rain til the day we came home! Food and drinks fantastic with staff who couldn't do enough to help. Great hotel venue, long beach directly opposite. Nice surrounding area very flat and ideal for bike riding (6 euro) for 4 hours. Couldn't believe how quiet the... More
