I just got back from the La Jolla de Mismayla. My stay was from Feb. 7 - 14. I was close to cancelling from the bad reviews that I was reading about the illnesses. SOOOO glad I didn't. I never had the stightest tinkling of illness and I never met anyone who had. I talked with several just checking this... more

We stayed at the Barcelo Jan 5-12 in a group of 3 adult friends on vacation. We thought it was a beautiful resort with very comfortable rooms. The pools and beach were very nice, the staff was friendly, and the ambiance relaxing. We were somewhat disappointed in the buffet and restaurant but found a few things that were decent. We... more

As all the others have written... we had a a similar experience with illness at the Barcelo due to something we ate. We suspect it was fruit or vegetable. My husband had it for 24 hours and I for a bit longer. I have been home a week and I still am not fully over it. There does seem to... more

The Barcelo has an outstanding location, beautiful grounds and pools, friendly and helpful staff. I have been travelling to Mexico yearly for about 25 years, enjoying the weather, the ocean and the culture and haven't been sick during my visits in over twenty years. Thank heavens I read the trip reports before packing and packed my Lomotil prescription from 22... more

The Barcelo is in the beautiful little bay of Mismaloya, where in 1964 the world discovered this piece of paradise when Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor started a not so secret affair while filming Night of the Iguana. The bay is small and clean. The Barcelo dominates the bay but there are also palapas along the shore where fisherman bring... more

We stayed for a week, the area is beautiful. I got sick for 24 hours but just severe stomach discomfort and like a previous post I did have tequila hangover, but I know hangovers and this was more. My wife got sick for one day a few days later, vomiting for one night. For me the area made up for... more

We never left the resort, ate all of our meals at the resort, and Charlie SUFFERED 4 DAYS of Montezuma’s Revenge. Friday and Saturday were spent in bed, no food. Sunday we tried to go out for a walk, but the stomach issue was just too severe and uncomfortable and he had to go back to bed. Imodium ($12 for... more

Guess we are in the same boat as all the reviews I have just viewed and feel at least it wasn't just us but what a way to experience 1st time (and last time) visiting Mexico. We arrived on Tue Jan 27th and found the resort to be "beautiful" pools, bars, drinks, room was comfortable...etc. Weather was fantastic. Friday morning... more

I traveled here with 2 other friends January 5-12. I got so sick mid week I could eat nothing for 36 hours. I lived off gatorade and mostly bread for the next 2 days after that, still ill. My friend also got ill. We had violent vomiting and diarrhea and it completely ruined our trip. We were very weak and... more
