Trip Advisor reviews have helped us greatly in past and this review offers the most recent information focusing more on the facts that will help others. This was our 5th trip to Mexico in 5 years & 3rd to the PV area. We are 40 and are average travelers with reasonable expectations. If we know that a resort is 20... more

My family of 6 just returned from a week at the Barcelo. We were there from Feb 16- 23 and loved every minute of it. I will start with our experience at the airport. WATCH OUT FOR THE TIME SHARE PEOPLE! I read the reviews before leaving and had heard of this happening, but it didn't even cross my mind... more

I would like to start of by saying a big thanks to "Desk Manager" Caesar who was absolutey wonderful in helping us with our no reservation issue - caused by our travel agent. This hotel is definitely a five star hotel. We had booked this before all of the "Food Poisioning" alerts were posted as well and all of the... more

I stayed at Barcelo Mismaloya last week! It was great. No sickness at all and I ate and drank whatever I wanted. The rooms were amazing! Staff was extremely friendly! and the food was pretty good! The cab ride to downtown PV was about 25-30 min... (hold on its a bumpy ride!) Overall I felt very safe at the resort... more

We worried about getting sick and yes my husband got ill for two days but not very bad. He had taken Dukoral before we left so believe that helped. We had a great holiday. The place is very clean and the service was good. Yes there was something going around but we do not believe the food was the problem.... more

Stayed feb12-18 , read reviews prior arrival and were very scared by reported food illness(traveling with kid added more stress) but nothing happened , we ate at all 4 restaurants - food was good, nice weather, friendly and helpful staff. The only restriction – did not drink water from the sink (only bottled) but that is rule for any traveling. more

I stayed at the Barcelo last week and found it to be a beautiful, peaceful, sunny haven. I, too, had read about the "food poisoning" and had concerns, but trust me, I ate and drank EVERYTHING and had no problems whatsoever. As for those who complained about the variety of food, you have to remember that this is not the... more

I travelled with two friends Feb 13-20th. We were absolutely leaving the day after we arrived due to all the reviews regarding illness. We were worried sick for days before we left on our vacation - needlessly so. We arrived in the early evening and spent a few hours asking everyone we met what they had heard/experienced and how long... more

Our room at the Barcelo was excellent; one of the best we've stayed in during our many times at all inclusives in Mexico. The first night my husband left his backpack with his laptop computer at the Cantina. The manager called at 1 a.m. after Roxana, our waitress, found it totally intact and untouched. A great start. The pool was... more
