Secure, plenty to do right at the resort, good service. The resort logs/checks in every single person who enters/leaves the grounds, so those traveling with kids can feel safe. Food was reasonably good. I am not a food adventurer so I stuck mainly with the traditional American fare. My only issue was many dishes/glasses were dirty so you had to... More

To give you a bit of a background..I travelled with my wife and my 13 year old son. We have only one other experience at an all inclusive which was 2 stays at the Hilton Rose Hall in Jamaica. Let's start by saying I am a chef by trade and though we don't make the food the focus of an... More

We really enjoyed our stay at Barcelo in PV! We were welcomed by Andelina holding a tray full of glasses of champagne! Great friendly staff, great pool, great food and service. Now If you want a big long beautiful beach this is not the resort for you. This did not matter to us really as the pool was wonderful and... More

We just returned from the Barcelo last night and I cannot say enough nice things about it. We traveled with another couple and our goal was fun, quiet and relaxation and it all happened! The food was very good. We ate almost all of our meals at the buffet because we didn't like being tied down to a "mealtime." Every... More

Stayed MArch 7 to 17 2012. Good time. Nice hotel, smaller. It is about 20 minutes form Puerto Vallarta, but good views, if the taxi driver is chatty, can find out alot about the area. Shortage of pool chairs, do have to get up early to get one, like 6 am. Food was good, have to book the restaurants as... More

March 07-15 The hotel is located in the very beautiful mountain area of Mismaloya. 40 minutes or so from the airport, ride was pretty quick.Barceló has done an amazing job of this older resort. It added the modern day amenities with the old world charm of Mexico. As usual, the never ending hard working staff worked from morning till night... More

Nice secluded location but not too far from the city center; excellent service, and a good assortment of food categories. I would recommend Premium rooms to enjoy the extra's like imported liquor brands. The property management can improve how the pool patio is managed. While the pool area is fully stocked with furniture, you cannot find any lounges or tables... More

We have travel many times to Mexico. We can say the hotel and service was perfection! The service was far beyond what I ever experienced and the food was great; the variety of the buffet always had interesting selection! The sushi with papya slice on top..... sold me!

I read good reviews and heard amazing things about the Barcelo resorts. I went during March Break with my boyfriend. We found the atmosphere to be beautiful and the pools and restaurants to be amazing. You had to wake up really early to get a chair by the pool or else it was a fight. The restaurants were delicious especially... More
