We arrived at the hotel looking forward to the Spa - as advertised. Closed but could we stay extra nights as it was to be open for week-ends!! Dinner in buffet style worse than appalling and with raw meat and fish open to bacteria on the counter for considerable time I would not recommend this hotel to eat in to... More

this hotel is good for golfers since it is located just by the golf course. the beach even though you can see it from your room, is 25 min walk. while the beach is very nice, sandy and wide, it is always very windy. we were there in spring before swimming season so i cannot tell how it feels in...

We really enjoyed our weekend in the Barceló Hotel near Cadiz, the facilities were good, the room comfortable and the food in the restaurant was better than we expected. We had a great deal since it was still off season. Shame we could not use the Spa as it was full and we did not know we had to notify... More

3 nine hole courses designed by Olazabel. Excellent golfing, great clubhouse with gym, sauna and jacuzzi which are free to use after a game. The course can get busy and likewise the clubhouse at lunch times so plan ahead. Rooms are very comfortable, all with balconies overlooking the course and with amazing views of the sunset.

Expedia listed this hotel in Cadiz, Spain not in the province of Cadiz. Imagine our surprise when we discovered that we had to take a ferry 20 minutes to Rota, that the last ferry left Cadiz in the early evening - so we couldn't return to the city until the morning, and that then we had to find a taxi...

We went out of season in May, so the beautifully mainrained apartment blocks nearby were all empty. Staff excellent and a problem with the air conditioning was resolved within minutes! Food was excellent and with a good choice for saying there were only a few guests at this time of year. Sorry I can't comment on the golf as we... More

We were pleasantly surprised wheh we arrived at the hotel. Very nice resort type hotel with the accommodation scattered around nearby blocks with very much a timeshare feel.
