A group of 10 of us recently spent 6 days at this beautiful resort. We thoroughly enjoyed the beauty of the resort, the quality and abundance of food, the scheduled entertainment each evening, the activities poolside all afternoon long and had a great time. What we weren't prepared for was the theft of personal belongings. Several guests from our group... more

My wife and I stayed three weeks at this paradise. In the beauty of the setting and the layout and utility of the resort, we were impressed with the courtesy of the staff, and the cleanliness of the facility. The food in all restaurants was varied and quite good, and better than we've had in the past. Different entertainment is... more

The hotel was lovely. The grounds beautiful. The food decent, however many in our party suffered from food poisoning. Even with that behind us, I still would have recommened this hotel. But we were charged twice for our weeks stay. First upon arrival and again on departure. The front desk informed my husband that they had no record. Since our... more

We had an amazing stay at this hotel. We were greeted with champagne, a special concierge gave us everything we needed to know about the hotel, set up all of our reservations and other hotel needs, and let us know about all of the activities at the hotel and with tours. The rooms were INCREDIBLE! You'll just have to look... more

I recently spent a week in Punta Cana and wrote a pretty harsh review on the Occidental. Most of my comparisons were made to this hotel on last years vacation and I would like to review it so the public can really see how great this place is. First of all, the majority of employees, cooks, waitors, front desk, and... more

Never being in Puerto Vallarta, we had our travel agent check out the hotels. He gave us several hotels to check out, which I wasn’t very impressed with. After seeing the Barceló La Jolla de Mismaloya, it seemed to be the perfect paradise; we could hardly wait to get there. We booked this hotel with our agent. Several days before... more

Trip Advisor reviews have helped us greatly in past and this review offers the most recent information focusing more on the facts that will help others. This was our 5th trip to Mexico in 5 years & 3rd to the PV area. We are 40 and are average travelers with reasonable expectations. If we know that a resort is 20... more

My family of 6 just returned from a week at the Barcelo. We were there from Feb 16- 23 and loved every minute of it. I will start with our experience at the airport. WATCH OUT FOR THE TIME SHARE PEOPLE! I read the reviews before leaving and had heard of this happening, but it didn't even cross my mind... more

I would like to start of by saying a big thanks to "Desk Manager" Caesar who was absolutey wonderful in helping us with our no reservation issue - caused by our travel agent. This hotel is definitely a five star hotel. We had booked this before all of the "Food Poisioning" alerts were posted as well and all of the... more
