An introduction to Barcelo Talanquera Beach Resort
Sitting slap bang on cashmere-soft sands of Villas del Mar Beach, the Talanquera is a true Caribbean delight. Enticing those in the know back here year after year with its first-rate facilities and top-notch service, this all-inclusive resort is perfect for couples looking to getaway from it all. Surrounded by gorgeous green grounds, it has a truly tropical laid-back ambience, perfect for lazy days around the impressive lagoon-style pool. If you fancy getting off your sun lounger and livening things up though, there's plenty here to keep you on your toes. Join in the daily sports, games or quizzes with the entertainment team. Go for the burn in the gym with an upbeat aerobics class. Or head down to the glittering shores and ride the waves on a windsurfer. Phew, with all that and more on tap, you're sure to have worked up an appetite and what a choice you have here. Go Italian at the gourmet Miramare restaurant. Try the a la carte L'Ecrevisse, which has fine French cuisine on the menu. Or sit out in the balmy open air El Cocolo and take your pick from the mouth-watering buffet selection. Follow an after dark meal with a relaxing drink at one of the atmospheric bars here before settling down to soak up the evening entertainment. This is most definitely the life.
