We had a really nice week of holidays in the Barcelo Puerto Vallarta hotel: location is great, site is beautiful, hotel is clean, room is perfect with children and the staff is welcoming, patient and ready to make your stay easy and restful. More

When it's on sale it's good value for people wanting to stay away from the noise of downtown PV. If you plan on going into town each day then i don't recommend it, as it's 40 minutes away by taxi and around 200 pesos each way. It has a small beach that's typical for the area - lots of surf,...

My husband and I spent 2 weeks at this resort from 19 Nov. to 3 Dec. 2011. I read some of the reports and I don't understand why people have to complain about everything, I wonder where they come from sometimes We enjoyed our stay immensely. The hotel is beautiful, the suites are spacious and very nicely furnished. we had... More

I visit PV one to two times a year going on 12 years now and frequent many places. Barcelo is about 15 minutes south of the Dreams and 45-60 minutes south of the airport (depending on traffic.) Family suite is standard, no frills hotel room with an extra bedroom. It does have two bathrooms that were sufficient but nothing fancy.... More

Great rooms, if you don't look too closely, but who cares about that. Clean, but in need of a good scrubbing. Resort is fantastic, Tower 1 is a bit noisy up until about 11.30pm, but they put all the families into Tower 2 so its convenient because you don't have to put up with kids running around screaming if you...

A Week of pure relaxation and great family memories. Kid Friendly, Great Staff, Amazing Nightly Shows. Only suggestion would be to improve variety of Vegetarian menu options. Easy bus trip to town for shopping and sightseeing, or they can arrange all your sightseeing trips from the hotel. Close to zoo, horseback riding, fishing, snorkeling, birdwatching and sightseeing.

Some notes that might help you... -perfect location and site for families with younger kids or people who like a more manageable size (less walking around the resort for meals and to the beach etc). -Not the ideal location if you're looking for night life. With kids aged 10 and 8, we had busy days and would be asleep by... More

We loved our vacation. The staff was wonderful, the rooms were immaculate ( we stayed in tower 1 and had the afternoon sun on our balcony the other tower was way more shaded). We traveled with 11 people and it worked out great(ages 3-61). The food was ok for the deal we got on the resort(FYI- unless you upgrade to... More

Stayed 10 days at the Barcelo Puerto Vallarta in December. Overall the location is great. The scenery is amazing, jungle, ocean,and mountains. Food is okay. We preferred the buffet to the a la carte restaurants. Breakfast is the best meal as they have a huge selection of fresh fruit and custom made omeletes. MMmmm. The homemade nachos with salsa and...
