Good things: pretty much everything: location, swimming pools, excellent rooms. Not so good: poor babysitting options. That's why I gave it three stars. You can't bring in somebody from outside. Baby-sitters on staff are expensive ($15/hour) and, most importantly, impossible to arrange (always busy, don't get back to you, etc). We failed to arrange any, even though we tried for... More

I enjoyed the Barcelo PV for one beautiful week December 2011! I will return as soon as I can. Everything about the hotel was amazing...buffet was expansive and always had excellent faire. All of the restaurants were more than adequate and offered exceptional service. The staff was very friendly and went out of their way to make sure that my... More

We had a great vacation at Barcelo, with very little to complain about. The location is around 20 minutes from downtown Puerto Vallarta, but we really enjoyed the area. The beach that the resort sits on feels like a little secret get away because its in it's own little place surrounded by cliffs and hills/mountains (not just on a long... More

If you're looking for a great beach location, this is the best beach hotel in the area. Fantastic little cove, nice sand, diving, swimming, scuba, etc. More

It exceeded all of my expectations... My girlfriend and I stayed from January 4th to the 10th and opted for the premium club. I should also add that I'm generally pretty easy to please and don't get too picky. Premium Club- the benefits were pretty nice, but not as much as I've seen elsewhere. However, I am definitely glad we... More

The Site is very clean the hotel has staff cleaning constantly. The Food was good in the three specialty restaurants and it was nice to be served instead of buffet. Hotel is a 20 minute drive to town no real walking route to town or to work out on because the road is narrow and busy. The Bay that the... More

Since we visited last August, we wanted to go back again to this place. We were there between January 6th to 10th. This time we took our daughter too. We had a blast. All the staff members were extremely nice to us. We could not have asked better. We still had minor hiccups like air conditioning was not working in... More

We visited the Barcelo PV from Dec 16/2011 until dec 23/2011 and loved practically everything about it! The grounds were impeccable, and the resort, rooms,pools, restaurants and beaches were all very well kept! The Barcelo is only 15-20 mins from PV in a cab and we paid a set rate of 130 pesos plus tip! We found the food at... More
