Barcelo Isla Cristina hotels

"We were upgraded to an ocean front room with wrap around balcony. It was an amazing view and so peaceful. We loved it."

"This is an excellent little hotel, pet friendly, a very short drive or cheap Uber away from Tavira. As others have remarked, it is not suitable for anyone wishing to walk in the immediate area due to the busy roads and lack of pedestrian access to countryside. We found the staff to be unfailingly kind and courteous, going out of their way to assist. The room was spacious with a balcony and everything one could reasonably expect at this price point, including coffee maker/ hot water dispenser ( pods from reception for a modest charge) and fridge.The air conditioning was efficient and adjustable. There was an extensive choice at breakfast, including hot and cold dishes, good cakes and pastries and a variety of milks such as soy and almond. The white coffee from the machine was unpleasant to our tastes, but was easily solved by microwaving milk of choice and using the separate espresso machine. There is a separate grill restaurant/ takeaway on site serving a good range of dishes at reasonable prices. It was well patronised by locals. The fumes from grilling were unwelcome at times depending on wind direction. The infinity pool was clean and scrupulously maintained. Towels were free of charge. Chairs and loungers available poolside. All in all I would thoroughly recommend this hotel as being of excellent value."

"Excellent breakfast buffet!"

"Extensive breakfast buffet, hardworking, helpful staff, comfortable rooms and great outside areas. Some parts of the hotel, notably the dining room, could use an update but this did not detract from our stay."

"Great hotel and SUPER staff. It’s a beautiful hotel in a great location - 10 minute walk from the bus terminal. To be honest, it’s starting to show some wear and tear - carpets, walls, bathrooms etc. Still nice, but a bit of a facelift might make sense before it gets too far gone. "

"Kettle filter was dirty and mattress was uncomfortable. Everything else was fantastic. Thank you!"

"Great property with friendly and helpful staff, very well located near the beach and in a peaceful area. It is a very big property and spotless clean everywhere, including the rooms, congrats to the efficiency of the cleaning team! The food in the buffet restaurants was good overall, with a nice variety but what I did not like was the noise, the crowds and the stress of the other guests in the restaurants during mealtime and the long lines sometimes to get a drink at the bar. Kids facilities and activities are great, my kids had a lot of fun (9 and 12 years old). Overall, I had a great experience!"

" Excellent hotel. Very convenient for the town. "

"Nice stay and in a good location close to the trains. It is a bit tired but clean and comfortable "
