I stayed twice at Iberostar Cala Barca over the summer and had a pleasant stay on both occasions. The service was good and consistent across my 2 stays.
I have been to quite a few Iberostar properties and I think this one ranks among one of my favourites. It’s not the most luxurious I have stayed at, but there is something about the property that made it enjoyable each time. I like the fact that the hotel is spread out which makes it feel less like a hotel and more like a small town. Granted it means a lot more walking but that didn’t bother me.
The facilities are good, there I think 10 swimming pools, the entertainment is varied and there is always something available to do.
I also liked the fact they have multiple restaurants to choose from and my favourite one was the one by the beach. While the food selection is limited compared to the main restaurant, the setting by the beach is definitely worth the compromise.
I’ll definitely not hesitate to come back as I felt the price we paid for what we got far exceeded our expectations.

Absolutely loved our stay! The resort is beautiful, spotless, and perfectly located right by the sea. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our visit. The food was excellent with plenty of variety, the entertainment was fun, and the pools were so relaxing. Perfect for both families and couples.
A small suggestion for improvement would be the children’s playgrounds — the one near reception and the one by the pools could use a few upgrades. There’s lots of unused space that could be turned into a more engaging play area for kids who aren’t taking part in activities. Also, the trampolines near check-in could be made safer, as the springs aren’t fully covered.
These are just tiny details, as there’s already so much to enjoy and plenty to keep everyone busy. Big thanks to all the staff for making our stay so pleasant and enjoyable — we can’t wait to come back!

We had a lovely holiday here. The food was varied and very good. Lots of activities, for every age group, great entertainment and lovely staff. I'd like to especially thank customer relations Raul Garcia for ensuring we were happy. He was excellent. The older man who checked us in was also extremely helpful and gave us a lovely welcome to the resort. We thoroughly enjoyed our week, and have no complaints. The cleaning service was amazing too. A couple of small suggestions would be a rubber mat for the shower as it was very slippy especially trying to wash a 2 and 3 year old. A kettle and some mugs would have been nice too.

It was an unforgettable experience, even though we couldn't use the pool because the water is already cold in October.
The food at the buffet is very good (if you are a person like me who is used to ONLY ADULTS hotels I recommend you to sit at the more secluded tables if you want to eat in a quieter and less noisy environment).
The staff is the strong point of the hotel, from the moment you arrive they are always friendly, especially the waiters in the drinks area.
Thank you Pep for helping us order our friend's birthday cake. The girls at the reception are also very nice especially Iria and Klaudia.

At first sight, the hotel looks very promising – it has a large territory, good food, and pleasant staff. However, once we received our room, it was far from the standard you would expect from a 4-star hotel. The room was extremely small, with a musty, old smell, more reminiscent of a guesthouse than a proper hotel.
The most concerning issue was the shower: the water temperature was completely unstable, switching between cold and dangerously boiling hot. This created a real fear for our children, as the water could have burned them. We reported this problem to the manager several times, but the response was dismissive, and it felt like the “technicians” were never actually available to fix it.
On the third day of our stay, the ceiling in the bathroom collapsed in the middle of the night. Thankfully, our children were not inside at that moment. This was a terrifying and unacceptable incident, raising serious questions about how the hotel maintains its rooms and ensures guest safety. When we reported this, the staff seemed more concerned with checking in new guests than addressing our urgent problem. Only after several complaints did they move us to a different room – unfortunately, the water issue remained exactly the same.
For the high price we paid, the experience was deeply disappointing. The facilities and service we encountered felt closer to a 1-star standard than the advertised 4 stars. We sincerely hope the hotel management takes these issues seriously to prevent such dangerous and unpleasant experiences for future guests.
