The hotel staff very friendly, from the front desk to the service personell. The hotel was very clean, extremely nature friendly, incredible landscape and animal world.
The meals were very good, incredible variety and totally satiesfied with the quality of all the food components plus incredible desert dishes. The temperature control of the dishes was not so good but it was a minor issue. The drinks offered are very good. The entertainment program was nice, pool activities and beach activities. The staff works very hard and is very helpful and friendly. The request were taken care of withing a short time.
In all, the hotel was perfekt and we would return to it without thinking twice.
Wonderful vacation

My sister and I who are in our sixties and her two boys in their twenties spent five days at this hotel. The setting and grounds are beautiful and well maintained. Our room was comfortable and very clean with pillow top beds and great air conditioning. The pool is beautiful, but kind of hot. The best thing was the food -- very typical Costa Rican but with a wide variety every day and beautifully prepared and presented. We liked the white wine, but the red was a little rough and also cold. We were very pleased with the variety of activities for all our ages. One day we went to beautiful Playa Conchal north of Tamarindo for beautiful clear water and snorkeling. The boys did a zip line canopy tour and scuba diving. My sister and I enjoyed walking along the beach to Tamarindo and exploring the town. It was a wonderful vacation and I would recommend Barcelo Langosta Beach to anyone.
Great Place for the money

My wife and I stayed here for 5 nights. We were booked in the new buildings which are amazing, two story rooms w, tile floors huge master bath with Jacuzzi tube. The food is a bit repetitive because it is buffet style every meal. However the food in Tamarindo is very expensive so we defintly ate our money's worth. The location is not bad especially if you surf, Playa Langosta is a great spot and there are several great spots within 10 minutes. Our only disappointment was the staff, they are not very helpful. On the last day we had no water pressure, we called the front desk and their response was O.K. click. Nothing was ever done. we really enjoyed our time here and are looking forward to going back soon
I would not go back

After they didn't get me my first wake up call they compounded that by not doing the second one either. My a/c did not work in the room, and there was a constant leak coming from the light fixture above the bathroom sink while I was trying to shave or anything at that sink.
If you didn't get there early enough all lounge chairs and towels were taken.
The main desk staff didn't act like they cared, but the rest of the staff were good.
I will not return to this hotel.
Not bad but not great

I just came back from the Barcelo. It is a small resort that was clean and the food was good. Nothing great but every day you could find something you like. As for the resort,, the staff was not very helpful or friendly except the woman who helped us plan an excursion to Monteverde. If the staff doesnt understand your english, they just yes you. The place is small and mostly a senior crown (50+ _ or families, if you are into whooping it up, the Barcelo is NOT for you. The activities were lame , coffee bingo was a big event if you get my drift. The resort is on the ocean however thebeach is all public so you couldnt bring your stuff down to the beach safely and there was no night access. Trips to town are $5 per cab and although there is public transportation, the staff is not helpful is giving access. I would go back to the area whic his beautiful but unless all you want to do is eat and lounge by a pool, the Barcelo is not the place to experience Costa Rica
