The hotel is elegant and situated in what I think is the best part of Portinatx. It is in a quite area and there is a lovely bay with a beach just opposite. Some reviewers preferred a larger bay closer to the centre of town; however, at least in mid-July when we were there, this larger bay was overcrowded while the beach at the Barcelo Hotel was far quieter.
The hotel complex is large but is divided into three buildings and is spread over a large area and, thus, we never felt that the hotel was crowded. Our room was sea-facing, which allows one to enjoy spectacular sunsets, if one is at the hotel at the right time. The room was large and very comfortable. The choice of cooked and continental breakfast was extensive and of excellent quality. A nice touch was the selection of free beverages and fresh fruit at the hotel reception. We were also impressed by the kindness and professionality of all personnel at the hotel, from cleaners, to waiters to the hotel managers.
We are happy to strongly recommend the Barcelo Hotel for a stay in Portinatx.
