First time in an all inclusive trip. Apprehensive about being on a resort. This was a fabulous introduction. Friendly and hardworking staff. Amazing variety of food, always fresh. Great facilities - swimming pool and the beach was wonderful although it disappears in Jan & Feb. Although out of the city (what we wanted) as it is quieter, really easy to... more

Just returned from Puerto Vallarta yesterday, and it was just absolutely wonderful - weather, people, hotel, flight, food, surroundings. I am thoroughly pleased with the hotel. Alot of couples, more kids on weekends, entertainment was good, it was perfect after not having a vacation for three years. My reservationists when I arrived updated me to a partial oceanview/poolside and it... more

I think the reason this hotel gets such mixed reviews is that people have such widely varying priorities and expectations. Our top criteria are comfortable beds, availability of ocean swimming, cleanliness, and friendly service. Based on those criteria, we were totally happy, and may very well return. The bed in our one-bedroom premium club suite was very comfortable, and the... more

We were there for a week. We had a really great time. Food was just wonderful - there was always something new to try with the view to match it. We loved people working there. They were friendly and helpful - especially Guillermina who was taking care of all our needs by the pool. We've got ocean view suit. It... more

The room that we were assigned was great. Much more than I expected. I especially liked the safe in the... more

This hotel was perfect for our weeklong getaway. If you're looking for relaxation with peace and quiet this is the place for you. The hotel has everything on site that you might want. The staff was very accomodating and quick to respond to our requests. The food was good but the variety stayed more or less the same throughout the... more

This place is great. We have traveled to a lot of places, but I just love Mexico for its festive atmosphere. Toni at the pool bar is wonderful. Nice guy and very friendly. Makes a great but deadly Margarita. Oscar at the front desk was a great guy and also very nice. Juan the activity guy was so fun and... more

We loved the room, the pools, the staff and the location gave solitude. The onlly negative was the beach was robbed by a hurricane, their wasn't much beach to enjoy. We spent all of our time pool side. more

My husband and I spent two nights at Barcelo and had a wonderful time. The property is just as listed. We had a room on second floor and had a wonderful view. The buffet food is just that - buffet food, but you can find something to eat. We had one dinner in Don Quijote which was good. The service... more
