First of all, the location is terrific, the lobby area is beautiful, and there is easy access to the beach and pool area. Lots of nice lounge chairs. Service was excellent when you asked for something, but not much was offered. The room was very clean, but the bathroom was very dated with a wall dispenser of soap and shampoo... More

We recently came back from a wonderful vacation to the Barcelo in Ixtapa. We booked with Air Canada Vacations and had great flights in and out and the bus was waiting promptly to take us from the airport. The check in was very quick and we were served a nice cool drink while waiting in line. The rooms were excellent,... More

Our sixth annual trip to the Barcelo. This is a marvelous, relaxing place. Their are always fresh fruit and vegetables at all three meals which we just do not get here in the North. The tomatoes and guacamole are especially great, as is the flan for dessert. Dinner gets tiresome so you should plan to go out for dinner half... More

I went to the Barcelo for a family holiday where there was six of us in three separate rooms. It was a last minute get-away and we were able to get a good deal for everyone coming from different locations. This was my third trip to Ixtapa and my second to the Barcelo. Upon check in, there were drinks waiting... More

This is our fourth trip to Ixtapa and we found the Barcelo one of the nicest resorts on the beach that we have stayed at. We were there for 2 weeks and found the rooms to be very clean and no sign of any bugs. Always had either a cute towel animal or a flower arrangement left in the room.... More

Myself and 3 girlfriends ages 47 -55 returned Jan 21/2012 from a one week (not long enough) holiday. With all the craziness that is in the media not once did we feel that our safety was jeopardized. Yes,... More

Just got back from a holiday from Jan 10, 2012 - Jan 17, 2012 with my girlfriend and 5 friends. We had a great time and loved the resort. We are all aged from 21-23 years old. To our surprise we were upgraded at no charge to an ocean view room on the 4th floor of the hotel, which was... More

This was our 5th vacation at the Barcelo Ixtapa. The biggest reason for our repeat visits has been the staff. Ixtapa, the weather, the beach are all wonderful and there are many choices of resorts and hotels. We have chosen the Barcelo as I said because we had always found the staff to be very friendly, helpful and attentive. After... More
