Barcelo Arenas del Rey hotels

"Hotel was very modern & clean. Room was large and well equipped. Large bathroom with powerful walk in shower. Beds were comfortable & the air conditioning worked well. Tea & coffee facilities available & replaced each day. There was a working safe. Only slight negatives no milk for the tea & coffee. Light in the bathroom flickered."

"Ac did not work properly "

"Very nice place for stay and enjoy walking distance for tour"

"Excellent location to see Alhambra. Great staff, easy parking, nice room."

"Definitely a 2-3 star hotel not what is advertised. All the amenities were not there the AC stopped working after 30 minutes, the water would change temperature from freezing to scolding hot in 5 minutes everything was so outdated and the location is far from everything. Not worth the price they advertise "

"Great location. Friendly staff. Room was a little dated, but the bathroom had been redone. Overall very comfortable."

"Stunning hotel, beautiful terrace bar which we enjoyed the most. Loved watching the sunset from the terrace bar everyday"

"This hotel was frankly much nicer than I expected. The room itself was quite spacious. The staff were helpful and I would say it was excellent value for money. The location was fine: it was not far from most places in Granada city areas one would want to visit on a 3-4 days trip. The room had a mini bar, but also some snacks sitting by the TV. The snacks are not complementary, which is fine. Just a bit confusing since I did not see a sign outlining prices. Not a big deal. Overall would definitely recommend."

"Could be great with some policy changes. Room was totally fine (but paper thin walls), buffet totally fine (though vegetarians are basically stuck with the salad bar every meal), location was nice, pools are beautiful when actually open. The main issue with this place is that they put hideous brown fencing around the pools whenever they're not open, and they don't open until 10am even in summer (by which time kids will have been up about 3hrs), which means you're sat at breakfast looking out onto what looks like an ugly construction site. They're also a bit lazy and on cool days when they think not many people will want to swim, they only remove a couple of the fences at the pool steps, leaving an eyesore all day! We understood the safety reasons for the fences, but they need to be removed at sunrise every day without fail and left off until sunset, with the lifeguard hours matched accordingly. It really ruins the experience of the hotel and could be fixed so easily. Evening entertainment is low-budget karaoke, pub quiz, magic show etc. The one and only bar has 25 tables for about 150 rooms so get there early as most people don't fit and had to leave, either heading into Nerja or spending the evenings in the room. Overall, currently feels like a cheap and cheerful 2 or 3-star hotel, but could so easily be much better! Fix the fencing times, add hot vegetarian options at the buffet, and create an alternative evening bar / cafe area. Not sure if we'll ever go back. "
