I have been to many places. Jamaica, bahamas, st. lucia, cancun, isla mujeres along with many others. I have also been to all inclusive places. This was one of the best trips i have been on and one of the best places I have ever been. I cannot believe all of the negative reviews. The first day there i really... more

My husband, 2 young daughters and I usally enjoy Mexican beach resort holidays, having been to nearby Dreams, and Gran Porto Real in Playa del Carmen. However the Barcelo was a huge disappointment on many levels. We chose this resort to spend Thanksgiving week 2009 because it has 2 bedroom suites, and while our premium suite met our expectations, the... more

It was my 2nd time back to PV and my husbands first... this was our honeymoon vacation and it was amazing... We went for a whole week in mid November and I will say its the BEST time to go... weather was perfect! Barcelo La Jolla is such a beautiful, clean, friendly, entertaining and classy resort... you definitely are treated... more

I am amazed at some of the negative comments I have seen about this hotel. We were in PV in early November and found the weather, hotel, food, room, and staff to be incredible. November is definitely a perfect time to go to PV. We did not upgrade our room and I am glad that we didn't spend the extra... more

Mismaloya is a gem. Its a pity that the beach directly below the resort is in such poor shape. No fault of the hotel. The sea floor just gave way! However, the pool area was adequate with plenty of shade if needed. This is not a party place. If you are looking for a quiet week away, as we were,... more

This hotel is absolutely beautiful. The food is not the best but if your not there for that you will be fine. The best restaurant is the italian the buffett was ok not the best you get better food at the riu's or dreams. They are very short staffed so getting drinks by the pool sometimes takes awhile unless you... more

Spent a week at Barcelo la Jolla de Mismaloya in Puerto Vallarta at the end of October 2009. The trip was through Apple Vacations. I could tell from the website pictures that this would be a nice property, and I wasn't disappointed. It's about 15 minutes south of downtown PVR, and not really near any other resorts... which to me,... more

We stayed at the Barcelo in October 2009 for 2 weeks. We have 2 boys, ages 18 & 19. We all had a great time. When I booked our rooms (through a travel agent), I requested rroms side by side or,preferably adjoining, but the boys were on the 6th floor and we stayed on the 4th. When I asked about... more

We had to change our vacation location at the last minute due to Hurricane Rick threatening Los Cabos. We loved that our room had a living room at the front of the suite that was closed off with a sliding door so that our daughter could go to bed, and we could stay up in the rest of the suite... more
