My wife and I stayed at the Barcelo for 2 weeks, Jan 24 to Feb 7 of 2009. The rooms were great, location fantastic. As for the "flu like symptoms" going around------I saw a lot more Tequila hangovers than anything else. The staff were extremely helpful. We had a very relaxing 2 weeks, ate in the buffet 3 times a... more

4 of us stayed here for a week,3 of us got sick after 48 hours,After talking with people at the pool,1 person out of every group got ill,and it lasts for 48 hours.Seemed like management brushed this aside.Every person had the same illness-chills,aches,pains,diahera,and some vomitting violently.It does go away after 24-30 hours. Not sure if it's worth the beautiful location,... more

My husband and I were at The Barcelo from 2/1 to 2/6/2009. I had stayed here briefly before and found it lovely, but NOT this time. The room and amenities were fine. The location is great. But the food is horrific!! As with others, we attempted to be gracious for the first several meals. On the second day I ate... more

I just had to write after reading what was "currently" going on at Barcelo Mismaloya... We were there in November when five of our party of nine fell sick with the "mysterious" illness within two days of arrival... and four of those five ended up in the hospital for two+ days. (Side note: The doctor who "offered" to drive two... more

My husband and I echo many of the previous negative comments about the Barcelo Mismaloya, having returned on February 3rd after spending what was a pretty bad vacation at the resort. As others have said, at first glance, the Barcelo Mismaloya appears to be a lovely place - the building itself, the gardens, the pool area, the suites, the scenery... more

We stayed at the Barcelo from Dec.30th -Jan.6,2009. This was the best vacation we have ever had. The rooms were absolutely beautiful, the food was fabulous, and the staff could not have been more friendly. The effert that this hotel put out on New Years Eve was unbelievable, it was truely a night to remember. I would not hesistate to... more

This was my husband and my fourth trip to this hotel but the first in 15 years. It did not used to be all inclusive and building one had kitchenettes which we loved. Breakfast wasn't horrible - fruit, yogurt, coffee, and rolls for me. But, every other meal we had was, and I endeavored to put is graciously at first... more

We were so impressed by the Barcelo. From the moment we arrived, we were amazed by the beauty of the grounds, the spacious layout, and the beautiful rooms. The resort is beautifully maintained, and we had positive experience with all the staff we encountered. The room was large, remodeled, and very comfortable. We preferred the out-of-the-way location, and the area... more

We stayed at this resort for the second time from January 29 through February 2nd. While the resort was nice and beautiful when we were there in March 2008 we did notice several cosmetic improvements around the property. For instance, our room this time was remodeled and there were more shops. The rooms are very nice. The bed was comfortable.... more
