We stayed at Barcelo - Puerto Vallarta January 23-28, 2012. It was definitely more than we expected it to be. The staff was more than helpful and accomodating. I speak enough Spanish to get me what I need, but didn't have to use it one bit during our stay.ADVICE: If you can choose your room location, go for the upper... More

We spent about a week at this All-Inclusive Puerto Vallarta hotel. What fun! We two grandparents, son and daughter-in-law, and two grandsons (2 and 4) at the end of January.

We (a group of 8 adults; 6 were between 25-30 and 2 were 60) just returned from the Barcelo Puerta Vallarta, and were celebrating my mom's 60th. Overall, the vacation was AMAZING, better than we expected, but the hotel itself had some ups and downs...You must leave the resort to experience PV at its best. The downtown area is great!... More

Stayed here in February 2011 for a wedding. Food in the main dining area was fine and in the a la cart restaurants was very good. Hotel staff were friendly and courteous. Room was very clean and well kept during the week of my stay. More

Room was a Junior Suite Premium club, gorgeous, large, with a great deck with ocean view on the 9th floor in the tower above the Cantina.

Sorry-long review! Resort: Our first time in PV and our second stay at a Barcelo (other stay at Riviera Maya). This resort is away from town, in a nice protected cove with lush mountains in the background. Very pretty grounds and nice pool area. We stayed on the 5th floor (Tower 1) facing the pool and had a very obscured... More
