My husband and I spent a week at the Barcelo Ixtapa. We have been to Mexico in the past, usually stay on the east coast-Cancun, Riveria Maya areas, and decided to try something different. I had read many great reviews about the area and then found this hotel thru tripadvisor and had read many great reviews only to be disappointment... more

Just returned from Ixtapa with several friends and spouse. The resort was nice, pool great and the food was OK, great staff (very helpful) Mixed up on room and they tried to help but it could not be resolved. We were there when the swine flu breakout happened. Staff sometimes wore the masks and sometimes did not. Complaints would be... more

Drive from the airport to the hotel is about 30 minutes. Hotel is in a great location in Ixtapa. Close to shopping and other restaurants. Prices very good. Watersports are not provided from the hotel but the cost is the best you'll find at any beach resort. Food was very good. Nice lunch options and not all buffet. Staff was... more

My husband and I stayed at the Barcelo from 3/29 through 4/5. If you want a quiet and relaxing vacation under clear, sunny skies away from the spring break crowd, then I would highly recommend the area. If you want non-stop party action, go to Cancun. We have traveled to multiple destinations in Mexico and have stayed at many All... more

Let me start by saying that if you don't expect anything from your vacation destination than Ixtapa and the Barcelo are for you! If you enjoy getting what you paid for with a smile and a little friendly service check out the gulf side of Mexico. I would hate to see your unhappy review next to mine :) This resort... more

The staff was not what we have gotten used to in Mexico. Mexican hospitality is usually very friendly and willing to please. I am not used to getting out of their way as they work the dining rooms or sweep the floors or deliver drinks. There was no extra effort at any time. Genuine smiles were rare. The location is... more
