I staid at the Barcelo Ixtapa Beach the last week-end of november 2009. A friends was getting maried in Ixtapa, a good occasion to meet with all our friends in this all-inclusive resort. I think that it is important to specify that this was low season in Ixtapa...so... a good mix of tourists (canadians, mexicans, not a lot of europeans... more

My husband and I spent a week at the Barcelo Ixtapa. We have been to Mexico in the past, usually stay on the east coast-Cancun, Riveria Maya areas, and decided to try something different. I had read many great reviews about the area and then found this hotel thru tripadvisor and had read many great reviews only to be disappointment... more

Just returned from Ixtapa with several friends and spouse. The resort was nice, pool great and the food was OK, great staff (very helpful) Mixed up on room and they tried to help but it could not be resolved. We were there when the swine flu breakout happened. Staff sometimes wore the masks and sometimes did not. Complaints would be... more

Drive from the airport to the hotel is about 30 minutes. Hotel is in a great location in Ixtapa. Close to shopping and other restaurants. Prices very good. Watersports are not provided from the hotel but the cost is the best you'll find at any beach resort. Food was very good. Nice lunch options and not all buffet. Staff was... more

This was our third trip to the Barcelo and I think it will be our last. We were very disappointed in the resort. It seems to have gone down hill since the last time we stayed there. Our room was wrong when we got there and had a hard time getting it all sorted out. Will have to deal with... more

We booked the Barcelo and were not sure what to expect. But we were more than happy with our choice. The hotel was immaculate at all times, and the staff were always friendly and accomodating. The location of the hotel was great--close to almost everything and the beach was fantastic for walking. Our room had a spectacular view of the... more

My husband and I stayed at the Barcelo from 3/29 through 4/5. If you want a quiet and relaxing vacation under clear, sunny skies away from the spring break crowd, then I would highly recommend the area. If you want non-stop party action, go to Cancun. We have traveled to multiple destinations in Mexico and have stayed at many All... more

Let me start by saying that if you don't expect anything from your vacation destination than Ixtapa and the Barcelo are for you! If you enjoy getting what you paid for with a smile and a little friendly service check out the gulf side of Mexico. I would hate to see your unhappy review next to mine :) This resort... more
