We were at the Barcelo for 2 weeks over Christmas - extended family, 3 generations ranging from 3 to 65 years of age, and we booked two 1-bed suites and one 2-bed suite. We have been to Vallarta many times, but this was our first visit to the Barcelo. We were very pleased indeed. Here's what we liked: 1. the... more

It was our first time to Puerto Vallarta , we were pleasantly surprised as we are used to going to the Mayan Riviera..and did expect a change but nothing like we experienced.. The resort was nice and staying outside of P V was very nice a quiet. The beach is fine , lots of vendors selling there wares ,so be... more

My boyfriend and I stayed at this hotel for a week in early December. We were greeted with a glass of champagne and a smile, and check in was a breeze. The hotel itself is failrly small but was beautifully kept. Sunsets over the bay were amazing with views of Puerto Vallarta in the distance. Mismaloya is about a 15... more

We were put in a room with two double beds when our reservations were for a king. They assured us there were no other rooms and that they would move us within a day or two. We insisted and low and... more

We travel to Mexico's all-inclusive regularly, always choosing 4+ star hotels. We look for clean rooms, safe environment, good beach, engaging entertainment, kids activities and good food. Barcelo's rooms were top of the line. It is all suite resort. The rooms are very clean and been updated more or less recently. There were by far the best accommodations we had... more

We are a young couple in our late 20's. We stayed at Barcelo for a week From Nov. 28th-Dec.4th. I will start with the positives.

This resort is absolutely beautiful! Location- It was a quite a bit further from P.V. than I thought because it is a very winding road. Located on Mismaloya beach. The ocean is perfect temperature in Nov. (warmer than the pools). Close to Los Arcos. Check in- Oscar at the front desk was very nice and professional and helped us check-in... more

The good: Beatifull setting in Mismaloya bay, nice clean rooms, great view from most of the rooms. The bad: Expensive, terrible food including buffet and 2 of the 3 restaurants. Italian restaurant was OK. Avoid "Seafood and Steak grill" restaurant at all cost. Got food poisoned overe there. The service in the restaurant was terrible. It took them 1,5 hrs... more
