Cabo Blanco Nature Reserve Holidays from £1,499

Our stay at Barceló Playa Tambor was okay overall. We traveled with a group, so we joined the trip, but otherwise this would not have been my first choice. I was pleasantly surprised to receive an ocean-view room, which was a nice upgrade. However, the room smelled stuffy, as if the windows hadn't been opened in a long time. The food was average. It seemed like some of the menu items were repurposed into different dishes toward the end of our stay, which wasn't very appealing. On our last night, I got sick and went to the front desk to request housekeeping because I needed my sheets changed. They told me someone would come, but no one ever showed up. That was very disappointing, especially when I wasn't feeling well. The highlight of our stay was the service from the restaurant staff. The servers were friendly, attentive, and provided good service throughout our visit. The grounds are beautiful but need a bit more maintenance.
