Barceló Aracena

The hotel is set in an enviable position overlooking the town below and the castle, which is especially stunning at night. The hotel is really nice with staff at reception being helpful after a misunderstanding by them with my booking where my view was spoilt by the carpark. They offered to move me and gave me a free bottle of Cava as an apology. The spa staff were amazing despite the spa facilities not fully working due to a malfunction, but they reduced the price of our 1-hour booking to make up for it. Breakfast was high quality, and the staff were engaging and professional. The pool area was immaculate, but be aware that you will need tokens from reception to get a towel, which we were not informed of. The caves and castle are worth a visit if you have time. A top tip from another contributor was to visit on your day of checkout at 10.30 a.m., and you will be back at the hotel in time to check out at 12, visit the castle the evening before and watch the sunset before walking down to the town for dinner

We really liked the room with panaroma view, the location with only a few minutes walking distance to the village, the always friendly hotel staff. The hotel itself makes a very good impression to us.

Excellent breakfast with good range of food. The room was large and had a wonderful view over the hills behind the hotel. The view from the public spaces and terrace were stunning!

Nice and modern hotel with beautiful views. Lots of hiking possibilities in the neighbourhood. Nice spacious room. Friendly staff.

Good standard of hotel for ****. Excellent bedroom, huge comfy bed, friendly staff, bathroom excellent. Minibar somewhat underwhelming and fridge noisy. Snack meals in bar good. Breakfast good too.
