It went from bad to worse. I had reserved 2 connecting rooms in October of 2008. I chose this resort partly because they advertised connecting rooms on their website. We check in and get to our rooms and they are not connecting. So I go back down to the desk, of course they say they cannot help me no connecting rooms are available, check back tomorrow. So we didn't unpack hoping to get the rooms we wanted the next day. We didn't. They kept putting us off and telling us a manager was not available. Even the Expedia rep. was unable to help. The place is very under-staffed. What service we got was good but not much of it. One night we had no hot water to get ready for dinner. It did not seem to be an all inclusive. Internet was an extra charge, room service was extra and one night in the Spanish restaurant the waiter asked if we would like to try the wine of the night. I said sure we would try it. At the end of the meal he brought us a ticket to sign that charged the bottle of wine to our room. He never told us the wine was extra! Lots of hidden fees at this resort. Front desk staff were pretty rude at times. You had to make reservations every night for dinner at the front desk. Which meant you had to stand in line with everyone checking in and out, sometimes as long as 20 minutes and they took reservations from 9-2, no phone reservations were accepted. (unbelievable)

Just got back today after staying 6-24-09 to 6-28-09. This was my 3rd time staying at Barcelo Tucancun (at the request of my 8 year old son who wanted to play and do activities at the Barcy Kids Club) and it will be my last. The Barcy kids club was only open on a very limited basis to not being open at all. Hector is the manager, and is very rude, at the direction of his manager who was not there (Francisco) he kept pulling the staff from the kids club to run activities for the adults. This would mean that the hotel would close kids club so our clildren would watch tv in their room instead of doing fun activities so that the staff from kids club could entertain drunk adults. I asked the manager not to pull both staff from the kids club, just pull one so the other can do fun thing on an hourly basis with the kids and his reply was NO! NO! NO!. The last 2 years were great vacations at Barcelo but something happened. The staff barely smiled. We transfered to a different hotel after days of listening to the BS. We transfered to Crown Beach Club Paradise and their Kids Club is unbeatable. Next year I will stay at Crown Beach Club Paradise.

nice hotel, absolutely terrible service and staff, apart from the entertainment staff round the pool, Marianna and Vanessa, who took us out a few times n showed us the best clubs. and the barman in the lobby bar, Jose, all these guys were great. I feel sorry for them having to work at such a terrible hotel as they are all great guys.

the hotel has hundreds of guests, yet the main restuarant is tiny and you ALWAYS have to queue for any meal, there only one tiny bar at nighttime, Jose does a great job working it but the hotel really needs to sort it out, they advertise that its open until 7am, yet they stopped serving around 4am every night, switched the lights off and left, whether we had finished our drinks or not. The reception staff are rude, unhelpful and only seem to care about looking after thier regular customers, i.e americans.

I would not recommend anyone who wants a clubbing/drinking holiday stay here, the all inclusive beer and spirits is rubbish, we ended up going to the shop everyday and buying our own.

ultimately the only good things I have to say about this hotel is for Marianna and Vanessa at the pool, and Jose in the lobby bar.

Our stay at the Barcelo was great!!! We had a wonderful time.. The staff is great and our rooms were always kept very clean... The pools were wonderfula and hand washed and cleaned every morning. The bartender at one of the pools was absolutely great@!! thanks Antonio! We are already planning to go back to this hotel!! We did run into a few problems but nothing more than any other hotel I have ever stayed at! They were right on it to fix these problems though! I would highly recommend visiting this hotel! As for the bad revies on this place is crazy.. You will always have good and bad stays but it doesn't totally reflect all on the hotel. WE WILL DEFINATELY GO BACK!! IT WAS GREAT!!
