First, I begin by explaining that my husband and I have both traveled extensively, including to Mexico (including PV), Cuba (twice), Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, etc and stayed at many all-inclusives from 3* to 4*. We stayed at the supposedly 4.5* Barcelo Mismaloya in PV Jan 27 to Feb 3, 2013. The hotel itself is fine. We had a lot... More

Stayed here for a weeklong trip. The hotel was nice, food good, entertainment was cute but hokey. Try to get out of the hotel for decent deals on side trips and adventures. Big drawback was the scam they run at the front desk. Even though we had locked in our rate in pesos months in advance, they wanted to change... More

I recently stayed at the Barcelo for 5 nights and 6 days with a group of friends for a wedding. My room (1616) was really spacious and spotless. Each day my housekeeper Magdalena would leave fresh flowers in my bathroom. There is so much to do that I spent very little time in my room except to sleep and change... More

This was our first time stay in a all inclusive resort, and the experience was great! We pre-rearranged all the dates for excursions and dinner reservations which was a smart thing to do. The excursion and dinner reservation manager Adelina was great and very patient with all my questions about how things work. On top of that, she replied my... More

We stayed here for 10 days starting April 23.If you like great service, large rooms, not a large party hotel then this is the place to go! It is about 15 minutes or so outside of PV close to the original set of Night of the Iguana. The hotel and grounds are not overly huge but give you enough room.... More

The rooms were nice. However the service for room cleaning was extremely late. We had to call and complain a couple of times until our room was cleaned. This was 5-6pm. Also, we had a safe go out, so I had to sit in the room for a few hours waiting for them to replace it. Other then that, the... More

Hotel was very nice and good service. Most of the staff were friendly and attentive. Food was very good. It was our first time at an all inclusive and I was pleasantly surprised at the quality. The only problem I had was with the cleaning of our rooms and the package we purchased included restocking of the mini fridge which... More

We have stayed at many AI's all over Mexico and the Barcelo in Mismaloya is very beautiful. The rooms are huge, the location - although quite south of the town is easy to access by a 7peso public bus (the bus stop is right outside the hotel) or $15 taxi for shopping excursions. The only disappointing thing was the food.... More

Having visited this area (Puerto Vallarta, Riviera Nayarit, Bucerias) before, we were pleasantly surprised arriving at the Barcelo Puerto Vallarta in Mismaloya! About 20 minutes south of PVR - the hotel almost commands a bay of it's own, sharing with some condos up on the hill, and a small community right next door. The mountainous terrain that surrounds you is... More
