Everything was perfect except two things in my opinion. First of all im a chef,I found the food good but alot of times over bearing with salt,sauces, stroganoff, mashed potatoes etc. In Canada maybe we are alittle more carefull on the salt factor,there were quite a few elderly folks and im sure it played hell with there blood pressure,let your...

A group of friends and I stayed at the Barcelo from Dec 16 - 23 through Westjet Vacations. Check In: After a 40+ min cab ride we arrived at the resort. The Barcelo is one of the last resorts on the highway going south out of PV, there is currently construction going on on this road making it one lane... More

Firstly I should say we are very well traveled and have visited most of Europe, many states in the US, 75-80% of the Caribbean islands and several resorts in Mexico including Cancun, Riviera Maya, Mazatlan and Cabo/San Jose del Cabo and of course Puerto Vallarta. This was our third visit to Puerto Vallarta although our previous was just a day... More

We booked a week at the Barcelo in mid November and we were totally happy with our experience . We booked the Premium Club and it was worth every penny. The staff were extremely helpful, our room was clean and comfortable, the bed great and the view was just perfect. The food was always fresh and well presented; even the... More

Just returned home after a week at the Barcelo with my husband and 2 kids, age 10 and 14. Let's see where to start....arrival: PLEASE read other comments about the Timeshare people at the airport. I did and STILL got stuck. When you arrive at the aiport and get through customs, you'll head out through some sliding glass doors to... More

My boyfriend and I just returned from the Barcelo. We stayed there Dec 10 - 18. The Hotel was very clean and the staff was very informative and helpful. The restaurants were all really good and the buffet had a great selection. The beach is a nice size with many lounge chairs. The pool was refreshing and clean but due... More

I was part of a group of four guys in their late 20's. Spectacular service while dining, laying poolside, and on the beach. The pool, beach, bar, and dining areas are very clean. There's a nice swim up bar in the pool which was great. The rooms are modern with nice bathrooms, beds, and flatscreens. Don't be afraid to venture... More

Stayed at resort for six days. They are very friendly and no pressures about buying extra stuff (excursions, etc.). The resort is very clean. They are always cleaning and picking up any stray item. Some all-inclusive resorts require a trip to the bar to get drinks. Not here, the wait-staff do rounds asking for drinks and are happy to serve.... More

got a super online rate I couldnt refuse, so off to Barcelo we went, my son and I. The decor is very nice throughout the hotel. Rooms are spacious and are a true reflection of the website photos. However.. the building 1 has a loud bar across the street that blares music so if you want a peaceful room request... More

My husband & I just got back from Barcelo Puerto Vallarta. We stayed Dec 4th-10th. Generally had a nice stay, but we couldn't help compare it to Barcelo Maya Palace on the Mayan Riviera. We've visited the Riviera for the past 4 years and stayed at the Palace past two years & loved it. This year, we decided to try... More
