The hotel is located in a spectacular setting
Those of us who have children are clear: vacations are for rest . Yes, we like to live adventures as a family, but at least once a year, disconnect, relax and let yourself be pampered it is an essential objective for the survival of every self-respecting mother or father.
The problem, of course, is to combine our desire to lie down in a hammock with a beer in hand with that intense and festive spirit that any child possesses on vacation, and that can be summed up in not-stopping-not-for-a-single-second. But we have good news: there is hope. And it's called Barcelo Punta Umbria Beach Resort.

This hotel, located on a beautiful virgin beach in Huelva, in the extraordinary Place of Junipers and Marismas del Odiel (Unesco Biosphere Reserve), it is the largest family resort in Europe. And, as if that were not enough, it is also the best hotel for children in the world: it is the only one with the recognition World's Best Hotel 4 Kids ! And those who awarded him the prize are the most demanding public: the children themselves.

The committee of experts that awarded him the award was made up of about twenty children, hotel guests . They were in charge of checking, testing and assessing all the resort's facilities and its program of activities, in order to be able to grant it a very special recognition: that of being the best hotel in the world.
To do this, they enjoyed a few days of vacation acting as experts swimming in their pools, jumping on their beds, trying the different buffet restaurants, playing in their splash park, skating on their ice rink and on their Barcy Club , a space designed for the little ones to learn and enjoy.
After all this, the little judges spoke one on one with the hotel team to, as true protagonists of family hotels, come up with ideas that would further improve their accommodation experience and they ended up having it clear: Barceló Punta Umbría Beach Resort deserved more than any other the award for “Best hotel in the world for children”.
