Lovely hotel, staff were efficient and very helpful. The housekeeping was exceptional.
The room could have done with a lick of paint, but apart from that it was functional and had everything you required.
The choice of food choice was wide and varied, something to suit everyone. couldn't think of anything more, pity the hot food was lukewarm, at best which let's down an otherwise excellent hotel.
Sort out the food temperature and this hotel would get five stars

Hotel Barceló Margaritas is a nice and clean hotel, offering a generally good experience. The rooms are decent but show signs of wear and tear. The beds are very comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep. However, it’s worth noting that the rooms are quite noisy, and sound travels easily between them.
The service is mostly friendly, and I’d like to extend a special thanks to the staff in the downstairs bar, especially Juan Ramon, and to those who worked hard clearing tables in the restaurant. Their efforts were much appreciated. The young lady in Ambra pool bar on the other hand was not up to standard. She actively ignored people in the bar by doing other things and often disappeared into the back room. I often saw people give up and go down to the other bar.
The breakfast was excellent with a wide variety, though the other meals felt somewhat repetitive. The Christmas buffet was nice and lavish, but unfortunately missing on preparation and quality. Got a raw lobster, and some of the shrimps were mushy so had to throw them away.
Overall, Hotel Barceló Margaritas is a good choice for a relaxing holiday, but improvements in soundproofing and meal variety would make the experience even better.

We stayed here a week as part vacation / part work abroad and thought it was a good value for the price. The rooms and space in general was very clean. Our room had a nice balcony looking over the pool area and it was surprisingly still quiet. Enough that we could leave our door open for a breeze during the afternoon while we worked. The sink has a plug and the balcony a clothes drying rack which made it easy to wash clothes during our trip. They offer a laundry service, but it was kind of expensive unless you were just wanting to wash an item or two.
There are two pool areas, one is more family friendly and the other is near a cafe area. Despite being fully booked, there was plenty of space in the lounge chairs. Some people left towels to reserve spots, buy it was discouraged by the hotel, so it didn’t create competition for good spots.
We didn’t do full inclusive, but just breakfast which was plenty for us. The breakfast buffet is quite large including a station for fresh omelettes, crepes and waffles. There was also a large variety of fresh fruit and vegetables. We had someone with us who had a food allergy and they were accommodating. We also had the avocado toast and a salad from the cafe by the main pool which were delicious. They also offer free self-serve water by the pool and the tables were also nice to work by. You get a card at check-in and use it to borrow a fresh towel each time you need it by the pool.
Location is good, it’s about 20-25 minutes by foot from the Dunes or Play de Ingles, but the hotel also offers some free shuttles. Taxis were also very easy to hail and fairly cheap to these locations too. There are plenty of restaurants and cafes within 5-15 minutes walking with nice large sidewalks. There is a convenience store across the street with basic toiletries and snacks.
They offer live music and other things each night it seemed downstairs in the lounge area. They also had bingo and other games in the afternoons. We didn’t participate, but they seemed popular.
The staff were all quite friendly and seemed to speak Spanish, English, and German in some cases. Overall would recommend to other couples or families seeking a more chill vacation / work abroad trip.

Excellent Stay at Barceló Margaritas – Highly Recommended!
We have just returned home after a fantastic five-day stay at Barceló Margaritas, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience.
From the moment we arrived, everything was seamless. Having pre-checked in online, the check-in process was quick and efficient—we had our room keys in hand within five minutes. Our rooms on the 6th floor had a lovely balcony with a pool view, and they were spacious, clean, and well-maintained.
We opted for half board, which gave us the flexibility to choose between lunch or dinner each day. Upon arrival, we headed straight to the buffet for lunch, and we were impressed by the wide selection of dishes available. The live cooking stations were a great touch, ensuring fresh and delicious food prepared on the spot.
The staff at Barceló Margaritas were exceptional—always friendly, attentive, and ready to assist whenever needed. A standout moment was on our departure day when we had a late flight. Check-out was at noon, but the hotel provided a dedicated room from 3:00 pm to 4:30 pm for us to shower and freshen up after a full day of cycling. This was an absolute lifesaver and truly demonstrated the hotel’s commitment to guest comfort.
Though we spent most of our days cycling and exploring, it was clear that the hotel offers plenty of great amenities for those who wish to relax on-site. The location is also fantastic, making it easy to explore the surrounding area.
Overall, we had an excellent experience and would highly recommend Barceló Margaritas to anyone looking for a comfortable and well-managed hotel with outstanding service. A huge thank you to the Barceló Margaritas team for making our stay so enjoyable! We’ll definitely be back.

Great hospitality to the team at Barcelo Margaritas. Very accommodating when we requested for high floor sea facing room. We opt for all inclusive, food were great with western options, would be good to add on Asian options as well. The stay were memorable as we went on this resting holiday, spent most of the time in the hotel and using the facility.
