Loved the fried plantains. Hated the room, it was filthy, looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in forever. There were bugs and ants everywhere, I killed a long poisonous black centipede that almost crawled onto my wife’s foot. The room was so dirty that we refused to walk barefoot. The locals basically took over every day of our stay, the adults only jacuzzi was filled with children. Your locals were extremely rude to my wife who happens to be African American. The food was subpar and somedays just not good at all. So disappointed in our stay, it totally almost ruined our anniversary but fortunately my wife is a sport about it. Everyday she work up with bite marks on her from whatever bugs were crawling around in the bed she slept in. When I booked I asked for a king size bed but was given a room with 2 full size beds. We have been to other Barcelo resorts and know that this doesn’t come even remotely close to the Barcelo standards, I suggest anyone looking at this location close your browser and run fast. The disappointment is beyond words to describe the nightmare of staying at Barcelo, Montelimar. Save your money go somewhere nice the locals have completely destroyed any chance of a decent stay. Couldn’t leave fast enough! ( Side note: Thank you Franklin and Karin at the front desk for being so nice. You guys are the only positive light that shines in this horrible place.)
