Excellent

Beautiful property in terms of the grounds and landscaping. Beaches had clear water. the pool was super fun for the kids. The food was great. Granted it is not a Michelin star restaurant as you're not paying for that kind of level but I felt that everyone could find what they wanted in terms of salads, veggies, protein, deserts. The cleaning crew was excellent. They cleaned the room every single day and they did a great job. The check in staff was very helpful especially Elvis went above and beyond.
I think its a great value for the money but you also have to go at a time when the hotel is not overwhelmed meaning if they are at full capacity you have to be more patient. If you go in May like we did or September and after chances are you will be much more satisfied than going at the peak of the season.
We had the all inclusive package. The food was repetitive and similar to a cafeteria. Nothing was really outstanding food and drink wise. We left the hotel a few times to eat at local restaurants. The resort was under renovations and there was only one restaurant with strange hours. The disco and beach restaurants were not available and there was no mini club for the kids. There was one store to buy souvenirs but again with the strange hours- closed from 2 until 7pm I believe. No evening events, dances or activities. The first night our AC was broken but they gave us a fan until the next day when it was fixed by an external company.
On the plus side, the resort has impeccable landscaping with beautiful flowers. The place was clean and located in a very peaceful quiet area with lots of nature. Lovely to drive in the Peloponnese from Athens. Perfect location to have day trips to Hydra, Spetses and Poros.
This hotel is absolutely AMAZING. The staff is amazing and extremely helpful. We could not have had a vacation to Greece without the hotel staff. The all inclusive package was amazing and included all of our meals and drinks and alcohol. The staff helped us book transportation to all of the places we traveled throughout Greece, and I would highly recommend this hotel to anybody in the future. If you’re going to Greece, this is the place to stay.
Everything was great and we enjoyed our stay at Barcelo Hydra beach. Mr. Vasilis with the golf car was always willing to help us he is amazing!!
The food was incredible for an all inclusive hotel!!
Everything was perfect at Barcelo Hydra beach. It was the second time that we’ve visited this hotel. The food was great and all the facilities. Mr. Vasilis the driver was one more time excellent very polite and always willing to help us.
Barcelo is a beautiful waterside resort that has its own private beaches and wonderful views. The grounds are immaculate and the staff are best in class.
A truly wonderful resort. Special shout-out to Sylvia and Sofia for their wonderful work
We had a very pleasant stay. The staff were very polite and helpful. The food was really good. The rooms were really nice but there was a foul smell if you didn’t keep the window open. The boutique shop was very expensive.
Room was good, facilities great. Food excellent. Location on beach great.
Front of desk staff could be improved. They were not particularly helpful or friendly.

If you are looking for complete relaxation this is a perfect spot. Beautiful gardens, beautiful beach and pool. Great gym, spa was great too!
Staff is friendly and Kristina in the reception was so welcoming and professional.
Food was nice and very wide selection, although its difficult to serve great meals everyday in a buffét.
My room was a little dated but it was still a clean and nice room. Great with a little shop too where you can buy suncreen, souvenirs etc. I did not leave the premises for the whole time.

The bungalow was very comfortable and clean and the pool and beach areas were nice and well maintained. However for a family with a very young child, there were limited play area options (playground), specially not indoors or in an air conditioned area.
The food served in the main buffet was not the best quality, and the limited hours to access food made it very challenging for our young son. There was only snacks (bad quality sandwiches and hot dogs) throughout the day, with no access to fresh fruit or vegetables like in previous all inclusive resort we have stayed in.
The food served at their a la carte restaurant was significantly better, but there are limited opportunities to book it throughout your stay.
The drive to the hotel is also quite long from Athens, and 2/3 of the drive are through very local roads.
We had a great time as a family, but we would not be coming back as we are looking for a more child friendly experience.

This property is perfect for a relaxing stay away. The staff are all very friendly and during our stay (mid-Sep) there were plenty of sunloungers at the beach and the pool. There is a lovely spa availaible on site.
The buffet was fine but i would not say it was 5 star quality. The other restaurant was also closed so there were no other options except to drive or take a taxi into Ermioni (about 10mins away). The all inclusive only had the buffet as an option which was slightly disappointing. The only evening bar, that wasnt the restaurant, was not included in the all inclusive deal, which meangt nobody went there and resulted in there not being a great atmosphere in the evenings. We ended up driving elsewhere, which is not always what you anticipate when go all inclusive.
A very relaxing hotel but ensure you have a car to explore the nearby towns of ermioni, galatas, potos and hydra. All worth visiting.

Could be better
This does not feel like a 5* hotel, with very basic rooms and some frustratingly easy things to just get right being ignored. I was with my husband and 3 teenage girls. The evening entertainment was ok but the girls were quite bored. Rooms are perfectly functional and big, but lack any character- bare walls and characterless furniture. There is nothing in the minbar (even though we were all inclusive) and the girls were constantly running out of shampoo and conditioner which was not being topped up. Paying for drinks in the only bar open with any entertainment was unexpected- nothing available as part of all inclusive. Pool is salt water which is a shame, but not the end of the world. Lots of smaller children so pool noisy. Food was unimaginative and same-y and not all coffee machines working in the morning. Juice from machines tastes like squash. On the plus side the staff were generally good and the gardens etc very pretty. Like I said, most of these things are so easy to put right, and have been repeatedly raised as issues on various platforms! Put these right and it will be a good value venue.
Great location and clean well maintained hotel. However the food was not 5 stars level - not worth going full board, much better to eat in the nearby tavernas accessible by car.
The Barcelo is a renovated older hotel with a nice beach,
The rooms do not have screens so you can not use the balcony properly without risk of letting in bugs into the room. the rooms are medium sized but well kept. I would give the Barcelo a 4 star rating but good enough for the price. The food is good with many options including 3 wine options. The staff is international and very professional and hard working.
Everything perfect except the food. Not surficiently varied.

They charge extra for iced coffee, even if you paid for the all inclusive. They wouldn’t let us stay for lunch after checkout, even though we hadn’t eaten lunch upon arrival
We were waiting for over 30 mins for the car to help with the luggage, but it never came :(

It was our third time at the property and it was a bit of let down this year. First of all the facilities need attention, one third of pool umbrellas were broken or ripped, some of the tables damaged, cans in the bathrooms broken and unusable etc little things like that. The quality of the food wasn’t the same as last years, not many choices for meats, some trays during lunch/ dinner weren’t replaced fast enough. Breakfast was least satisfactory, very small choice of pastries, though the bread table was amazing. We did enjoy Italian night though. The bar service and choices of drinks were excellent, the staff was pleasant and fast. The rooms were cleaned daily, though 2 mornings in a row we were woken up 8.30am by a cleaning lady knocking on the door. Our family really enjoyed the pool, though sometimes it was hard to get a sun bed. The property generally is so beautiful, a little paradise, the views and landscaping is so beautiful. I hope this place will adjust to the new management and will do better next year.
