Barcelo Costa Ballena Golf & Spa

It's beautiful and the golf course was awesome, loved the beach, and was close to the navy base!

The dinner buffet IS NO WHERE NEAR worth 50 euros for two. That's insane. We easily could have driven ten minutes and paid half that for anything but soggy tacos.

Clean and comfortable

A bit remote and the “dining room” was very average. The bathrooms have glass doors so if one guest wakes up at night to use the toilet , they’re guaranteed to wake up the other guest. STUPID design.

Beautiful location close to the beach and golf course

A little bit worn down. Like it’s glory days were years ago.

Room , very spacious and amazing view, the food was excellent from the Resturant and the bar , really above the expectations!! Also the beverage in quality and quantity, great!!!

Not enough water in the minibar in the room

We went to celebrate my partner's birthday and we had a great time in the hotel. The hotel staff made an extra effort and a piece of cake, a bottle of cava and a birthday message waited us in the room on arrival. This made our day special.

After the amazing breakfast we decided to spend our dinner in the restaurant. The dinner was a little disappointment for us. The staff was super friendly as always but we thought the quality of the food could have been better. No major issue, we still loved our stay there.

Great resort for a quick family getaway. The breakfast is absolutely delicious! There’s great diversity in choices, with a very nice location to start the day.

Would be ideal to have a small shop for toiletries im the lobby of the hotel.

It was a great value... very inexpensive. If your budget allows, I would try for something better. For relaxation and "easy" it was fine. If I came back, I'd opt for something... nicer.

Only 1 of 2 pools were even open and check this out. .... only from 4-7pm!? What the hell?! Spa also only opens at 4pm. Breakfast was fine coffee was weak. It was a little worse than I expected.

Ideal location to the beach. Rooms were good and clean

It’s starting to be dated, will need renovation soon

Breakfast and Dinner were buffet style with plenty of great choices. Room was spacious and had a great view from balcony. Pool was fabulous and only a short walk to a beautiful beach.

Parking was in the street unless you paid for it and the car gets quite dirty from the trees and birds.

I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a peaceful and relaxing getaway in a beautiful beach location. With its luxurious accommodations, attentive staff, and tranquil atmosphere, it is the perfect destination for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy a peaceful and rejuvenating vacation.

I didn't quite like the breakfast and dinner on my first day but on my next day, i was quiet happy.

Hotel was clean most of the staff were helpful

Food buffet cold all the food was cold complained first night went down second night 15 mins after restaurant opened and food still cold. My husband ended up with food poisoning that night. We left next morning when we should have stayed another two nights

Location and restaurant & reception areas good

Tea & Coffee facilities for 1st night only … Ie to replace used items they wanted to charge & water bottles the sameSwimming Pools all closedCharges for car parkingCharges just to enter Spa…Very dated & “Tired” looking buildings & Rooms

Breakfast was excellent and the rooms were very large and comfortable. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

Nothing really

Wonderful hotel. Even during mid-August doesn’t feel crowded.Great facilities and nice and helpful staff.

Only tiny details. Example given: Breakfast buffet is great, but the coffee available is terrible.

Nice bath in room. Clean room. Staff were polite. They refunded me my last night when my plans changed.

The food during the week wasn’t very nice. It got better over the weekend. You can’t get a drink in the restaurant if you don’t want beer, wine or water or cola. The corridors smelt of drains.

Good breakfast

* Security: rooms are accesable from street without passing reception and without keycard* Noisy. Badly insulated walls, floors and door* Reservation of double bed was handled as request "depending on availability" not as reservation, and that in februari, in an almost empty hotel

Too remote

The golf was way too busy, totally over played so much so that we only played 14 holes

Beautiful location and resort style. Staff kind and helpful. Nice room/bathroom, balcony on golf course and pool. Gym was ok.

I chose this hotel for its 25 mt pool, but the pool was closed because "it is only open from 12 to 19hrs".So it's impossible to swim in the morning or just before dinner. How can you keep the pool open only for 7 hours?! That's less than 1/3 of the day!It's like not having it. How can any business guest use it?Buffet very low food quality. Meat waiting to be grilled was brown/gray.

It was fine, not fantastic just expected more for the price of the stay.

Unless you golf, there is nothing else to do. No encouragement to participate in any other social activities.

I enjoyed the close proximity to the beach and walking distance to a few restaurants.

There were a lot of bugs and often a sewage smell. The new parking system did not function several times during my stay.
