"I did not like the bathroom, i think it needs an upgrade, i hated the shower. The room was nice tho and the resort was beautiful just a bit too quiet."

"Absolute Perfection at Excellence El Carmen – Highly Recommended! I spent 7 wonderful days at this resort in April, and it was a flawless experience. We stayed in a suite with a private pool, which I highly recommend for anyone looking for true comfort and a relaxing getaway. The grounds and the beach are impeccably maintained and very clean. What I loved most is the balance—there is something for everyone, whether you are looking for great dining, active entertainment, or just peace and quiet. Everything was perfect from start to finish. I truly enjoyed my stay and highly recommend this hotel!"

"Beach is gorgeous. Could use some more palapa. Food was great. Could use better soundproofing as hallway noise was bad. "

"Everything was really nice. Not a fan of the 1 ply toilet paper lol. Wish the pool would have been open later. Wish the room service menu was bigger. But all said it was amazing!"

"The food is average. The rooms are average. It did seem like it wasn’t cool enough but it wasn’t a big issue. Not enough connections bring an extension cord. The area is nice with a lot palm trees. The staff were friendly. The pool is def a party vibe. The theme parties are fun. We had a great experience. Satisfied for the price, would book again. "

"Well kept property, lots of activities to enjoy, lots of restaurants, friendly staff Food was mediocre"

"Reservé en Serenade Resort and Spa por error, ya que mi esposa y yo íbamos a otro país, y tuvimos que hacer un cambio de un día para otro. Desde la recepción, la comida en los distintos restaurantes, el SPA, las piscinas, playa, habitaciones, hasta el todo el personal… todo fue una experiencia extraordinaria. Altamente recomendable para familias, parejas o si piensas viajar solo. De seguro repetiremos esta hermosa experiencia."

"A great property where you can tailor your experience. Each night we could walk around and there was always a lot going on, with different parties/activities and different vibes depending on what you want. I was very satisfied with the food options, from the main buffet breakfast to privilege lounge dinner service. Drinks are good quality too. The lagoon was perfect for swimming, soft sand & gentle waves. The main beach is too rocky & rough to swim but the lagoon makes up for it. We never had problems finding chairs on the beach, and the el beso pool was a great option during the daytime too. Staff were all awesome and added to the overall experience. Minor drawback in the standard junior suites, ours smelled a bit damp upon arrival, and we didn’t feel the bathtub was clean enough to use if we had wanted to do so. The bed was comfortable, the room and balcony are very spacious. We will likely return in the future, in upgraded room."

"We just got back from a week at this Barcelo, and ultimately upgraded our stay mid week to the premium package so have opinions on two different types of stays. Pro: the family rooms are great for traveling with young kids. It was truly two separate bedrooms with a small entry area and separate bathroom. I didn’t love that the bathroom door was a heavy piece of glass that you had to slide, but otherwise this room worked well. It was right next to the waterpark area for kids, which I appreciated the hours of- 10am to 6pm, so it was always quiet during bedtime and early morning. The resort itself is not overly huge and is very walkable. I found the majority of staff to be very friendly and the people working at the restaurants especially so. The food was pretty good, we were only able to eat at one actual restaurant (steakhouse) and that was very nice. The buffet was decent, although I do wish the hours were a bit earlier for families (dinner is not until 6:30). You can eat at the sports bar buffet before the main buffet opens, but it’s not many options. They had boats available to use for free and the beach is very beautiful. My husband, daughter and I all get very sick on the trip and we were careful about drinking the water so I don’t know if it was from the ice. When we called room service from the original room at 6am to try and get more milk for our inconsolable toddler, they would not bring us anything until 8 AM. "
