Great facilities in this peaceful location
Lovely hotel … though the drive up didn’t fortell that well. Facilities were great … all you could want. Peaceful quiet and buffet was a pleasure. Being in Jerez was a way from the coast … So it depends why you want. Nice golf course and next to Jerez race course

My review is for the golf resort. We booked at the convention centre but when we got there it wasn’t open. The golf resort is very close. The area is a little remote from everywhere if you are not there for golf. It is about 30 minutes to Jerez and about 45 mins to Cádiz. There was no problem with the reservation once we determined we should try the golf resort. My GPS jet finding a Barcelo Convention Center in Jerez. That is not the one.

A 5* hotel should not always be judged on the surroundings amd amenities (which were actually beautiful and plentiful here) but on how they treat their visitors and their ability to overcome any issues that may arise. Without going into intricate detail, a couple of issues (of my doing) arose and both receptionists’ dealt impeccably with my concerns as well as solving both issues effectively and efficiently. Well done to the staff at this hotel who really do make your stay feel special.

This is a lovely hotel. It has been a little bit spoiled by the fact that you can now book without breakfast and the food police are rather aggressive. The breakfast is fab and worth the money but would be better if you could book the room with breakfast. It seemed a little muddled as to who had and hadn’t booked breakfast and maybe a better system could be put in place.

Comfortable rooms.
The room was very nice and pretty large. The bathroom was huge and well-equipped. There was no kettle or coffee maker in the room. We had to leave before breakfast was served so the hotel packed us a much-appreciated picnic. Overall a good stay, but the hotel is remote so be aware of that.

Needs refurbishment. Good for Circuito de Jerez.
Check-in was at the 5 star hotel. Before it was at this 4 star hotel...there was nothing to state this change so I ended up wasting time trying to access the 4 star hotel entrance but it was locked. Hotel is fine, a bit run down. Room was tidy, but lots of flies in the room, especially the bathroom in the sink, shower, toilet etc. not good really. Aircon was just about ok - at least this time it worked, as the last time I stayed it did not. Breakfast was good - this is due to it being in the 5 star hotel a short walk away. Location is perfect - I was there for the racing circuit, just next door so it's only a 2 or 3 min drive. If I were there to visit the town, I'd stay in the centre.

You will like it if you play golf
The hotel grounds are very nice and its a very tranquil area, except perhaps the noise coming from the closeby motorcycle circuit. Although i personally wasn't that bothered, i can see why some people could be bothered by the noise, especially when relaxing reading a book. Breakfast and food ok but not special. Be warned that facilities like the pools are not open until the summer months. Probably a good place if you play golf, otherwise there are better choices in the area for the money. The hotel is around twenty minutes drive from jerez, if you want to stay close to restaurants etc this is not the place for you.
Dear customer, Thank you for sharing your feedback on your recent holiday experience among us, our main goal being to ensure we keep on delivering unforgettable holiday experiences to our guests, your comments are crucial in this process therefore we highly value your time and constructive critics. The noise from the race track is an external factor to the hotel, but we regret the inconveniences due to this situation. We hope to count with another opportunity to receive you at our hotel in a future and provide you with a completely satisfactory experience. Sincerely. Gereral Manager

Hotel was ok, staff were sometimes a little rude!
Rooms at the premium hotel were much better than the 4 star. The 4 star villas are very dated. 5 star rooms were ok, I was bitten to high heaven when in bed on my final evening. If you didnt want to opt for buffet the menu was limiting, but the buffet was good. The bar staff were always really helpful and nice.

Pity about all the undisciplined screaming kids.
Great facility and spotless clean. The buffet at breakfast, lunch and dinner gets tiresome very quickly, however there are a number of great restaurants within a couple of minutes drive. The only real disappointment was allowing uncontrolled, undisciplined screaming kids into the wellness centre making the spa more like a kids water park all day long. As such we could never recommend this hotel as a relaxing spa resort.

2 Nights in a Villa
Stayed two nights in a Villa room. Very nice and the A/C worked great. . The food is very good but one needs a car to eat anywhere else. I did not play golf but the course looks very nice. The staff was also very helpful and spoke English. The pool is exceptional at this hotel. I will be going back to this hotel!

Stayed here several times, always good
As usual got an upgrade to the main Hotel (5 Star) which is a very nice place, if a little soul-less. The staff are suitably attentive but I always enjoy a bit of character and this was missing. The food was very good, nicely presented and tasty. Reasonably priced for a 5 star hotel. The pools were quite dirty, I think the weather had been windy and so they had quite a bit of debris in them (leaves, etc) but it was surprising for this standard of hotel. Disappointed to be asked to pay extra to use the Gym facilities. Good Wi-Fi connection across the Hotel which was appreciated. No charge for this.

Excelent place to relax and chill out
I really liked this hotel, totally recommended if you want to relax and switch off, the surrounding area is very quiet, they have two swimming pools, spa and nice golf course. However f you would like to visit Jerez is around 15 minutes driving to the town center, it is beside the Jerez circuit. It is a premium 5 stars Barceló and it doesn't let you down, the only thing I could say is that the air conditioning needs to be bigger to cope with the hot weather during the summer. Highly recommended.

A Brilliant Resort suitable for all purposes
It was brilliant. We were not there for the Golf, as many are, but used it as a vacation Hotel. Everything about the Resort is spot on - from the food to the views, the rooms to the location. But, most of all, the staff are exceptional. I've already personally recommended the Resort to colleagues visiting Jerez

dissapointed!!
I have stayed at this hotel previously and had a fantastic relaxing time. However unfortunately this time when I arrived they were in the middle of refurbishing the main entrance. If I had been pre-warned (option to stay here or not) or offered a discount I wouldn't have minded so much. However the dust and banging from early 08:00/09:00hrs onwards, meant I didn't need an alarm!! And I didn't feel that relaxed as I was only there for 4 nights. Shame as I will now consider booking another hotel next time I visit jerez.

Montecastillo
This was a great hotel if you are after a quiet relaxing holiday. It is out on its own a bit but the facilities are good and the staff were friendly. Super golf course and pool You really need a car if you want to go anywhere else though. Luckily we just wanted to relax so it was great for us and there were plenty of people who were only interested in playing golf that it suited too. Make sure you get the breakfast buffet included when you book as it makes it good value

Barcelo Jerez Montecastillo
Although the hotel was advertised as Jerez, in fact it was some distance outside and one would have to use a car or hire a taxi if one wished to visit Jerez. It is predominantly a hotel for golf enthusiasts but non-golfers who just wish to relax will find it extremely comfortable with large spacious rooms and modern bathrooms. A big plus is that the dining room opens at 7.30pm unusual for many hotels in Spain. Plenty of parking space and an excellent breakfast. Cannot find a bad word to say.

Great place to stay!
I have to tell that for the rate we paid, this is a great hotel. Staff was really nice, very friendly and always willing to help. I really enjoyed my stay here. It is very close to the train station which make it more attractive as a hotel! It was very clean, spacious and a great place to stay.
