The Hotel was set in a beautiful location for beach lovers and people looking to relax and recharge this is a good location.
Beware I booked a room with a balcony (standard) and was given a Juliet balcony with standing room for one person only. In all the pictures online the balconies were shown with a small table and chairs in all standard rooms.
Even though the Hotel was contacted we received no reply which was disappointing.

Check-in was easy we were promised an upgrade that we never got. Our room basically overlooked the trashy side of the hotel, not a big deal as we were not there long. It is a resort property that it seems like many people came to take advantage of the full board, which we did not know about a time of booking. I would say if you’re going to stay at the hotel and eat at the hotel, definitely go full board. It will save you some money. The room was nice, but the toilet seat was broken and the sink did not drain properly. Definitely things that should’ve been addressed or fixed. Worst part of all is there was not a blanket in the room, just a sheet on the bed, so yes, not the most comfortable sleep at all. We did enjoy our stay. The staff were pleasant. I will say the food was plenty but mediocre at best. But people who are there seem to enjoy it and really seem to enjoy the fact that it was an all you could eat buffet so again if your taste and food is a little more refined, you might be disappointed.
Large beachside hotel **** just outside Ayamonte. Great Junior Suite. Spacious and comfortable. Very busy during our stay but the staff helpful and attentive. Great food available.
I visited Barceló Isla Canela for 5 nights on my own as a summer break while my children were away. The hotel was beautiful. The rooms were modern and clean. The breakfast was fresh and there was a massive selection of foods. The pool area was well maintained and the staff very friendly. I used the gym daily and although it is small it was well enough equipped for a hotel gym and everything was very new.
It’s somewhere I would love to return to with my two children, there was a great family atmosphere while being luxurious

A Mixed Experience with Highs and Lows
The hotel has seen better days, but we still had a good time overall. The outdoor pool area was nice, though the water was too cold to use—heating it would help. There is a small indoor heated pool, which was appreciated but limited in size.
Breakfast was excellent—the best part of our stay—and deserves top marks.
The padel court was a major disappointment. We booked in advance, but it was covered in moss and leaves, making it dangerously slippery. It looked abandoned and should either be properly maintained or closed.
Cocktails were poor, and the bar staff seemed untrained. If you want a good drink, go elsewhere.
Our room was nice, and we enjoyed the large balcony, but the beds seemed shorter than standard, and all of us found the pillows too thick.
When we asked the staff for a nearby restaurant recommendation, they couldn’t help at all, which was surprising and unhelpful.
In short, there were some bright spots—especially the breakfast—but too many negatives for us to consider returning.
It would be good to have some snacks or premade sandwiches for late travelers. The location is a bit remote from city center and, hence, difficult to find anything to eat after midnight.
Really enjoyed our stay at this Hotel, excellent service and friendly staff, the rooms and property itself were clean and the food was great with a good and tasty variety at the buffet.
For us, the only negative side was the entertainment program during the day which was a bit dull, but I also understand that this was because most of the other guests were from a much older generation.

We are in our early 50 ’s and we were the youngest ones there by far. Older crowd!
Nice location however here are the negatives:
1. Buffet does not include any drinks including the breakfast buffet.
2. Loose tiles around the pool walk areas.
3. Finicky air-conditioning thermostat.
4. Food at buffet did not have a great selection
This resort is very family friendly, lots of activities around the pool for all ages. I encourage you to get the all inclusive. Nice walking trail that parallels the beach and easy beach access. There is an exercise room. They offered yoga and water exercise classes. The lounge never had a bartender while we were there. It does have ping pong, pool, and other table games. It's a lovely salt cleaned pool that is treated and cleaned daily. Closed at 7:30 pm and opened between 10 & 11 am. When we were there. Mosquitoes are bad at dusk so don't leave your balcony door open. I didn't know about the pay parking until i arrived. The food was generous and plentiful, and overall quite good, but most of the grilled meats were overdone. We had a relaxing and comfortable stay.

Swimming pool not climatized water at about 21 celsius, additionally if you leave your hammock vacant for one hour they have a draconian policy of removing your personal belongings from your pool hammock. This information was not provided at check in.
Some tiles by the poll broken.
Hotel parking 15 euros per night expensive. Buffet food was good some days better than others. Bar staff and waiters helpful. Entertainment crew friendly. These points raised with customer services who listened and encouraged me to write to them but was unable to give me a business card. I felt management hiding behind the Barcelo name seemed sure business would continue coming and not very interested in making our stay more relaxing

You will need to upgrade your room
You will need to upgrade your room. I booked a junior suite and had to view 3 rooms before finding a suitable room (room 2109 is good). Reception was not pleasant and I felt uncomfortable asking to see other rooms. The male receptionist was rude.
The resort is right across from the beach which is nice. The resort itself does not have a lot of atmosphere and it was filled with older German tourists. You cannot bring food to your sunbed by the pool and the drinks are served in plastic cups. There were plenty of sunbeds available.
The food was good enough (we stayed half board). Breakfast was nice but dinner was hit and miss. There are 2 supermarkets within 5 mins from the hotel so you can pick up break, ham and cheese for lunch.
The hotel is located 1 hour away from Faro airport so please factor in the cost of the taxi into your holiday (approx €160)
All in all, it was lovely to get some sun and the hotel was adequate.

Nos dieron una habitacion que no funcionaba la tv ni el aa.cc. y tuvo que pasar un segundo tecnico del hotel para que me hicieran caso, nos cambiaron de habitacion a una inferior, por el mismo precio, el mas alto, ademas de tener que pagar la mp en la recepcion, para mejorar y me repensare volver a reservar...
