This resort is far from being a 4.5 star rating. If anything I would rate it a 3 star. The service at the front desk is terrible. There was only 1 person working there (for check-in, checkout, money exchange etc) The bellboy service was horrible. We waited 25 mins before our luggage was delivered to our room after we checked...

This was my first trip to the PV area. I must say it is much more beautiful y than Cancun..etc...other than the beaches. The beach is rocky ( small pebbles at best) and rough, not great for young kids. The resort is small compared to most I have been to which is far more preferable. The staff were pleasant, grounds...

We stayed at this resort for 10 days in February 2012.The grounds are very well maintained (like most resorts) and the rooms are spacious and very nice.I would say that the food was on par with other all-inclusives,and like them,get it while it is fresh.The reservation only meals were decent,but if you have a late meal,some of the food tends...

My significant other and I wanted a very special getaway from the cold and enjoy the sun, good food and each other. Well when we want to do that again we will never go to a Barcelo resort. I became sick on the second day and experienced intense vomiting, severe cramping, the shakes, violent diarrhea, the sweats, chills for over... More

We were at the Barcelo Feb 23 to March 1st. The resort was nice, very clean. The resort is a smaller, quieter type. The staff are very friendly however on numerous occasions would forget what we had ordered or even that we had placed an order. We had requested breakfast in bed for 9:00 am the day we were leaving...we... More

We agree that the Barcelo is a beatiful resort and the service was good too. We stayed Feb. 25-Mar. 03 and enjoyed every minute. Our room was upgraded to Master suite OV ( #2819) and we thought it to be a great value, after all we were on vacation and it made us feel even better. We did not find... More

I have visited this resort prior to it switching over to the Barcelo and All Inclusive, but I haven't been to Puerto Vallarta in about 10 years. I made the switch over to the Riviera Mexico for vacations these past years, and I was so refreshed to come back to Puerto Vallarta. Riviera is great for the MEGA HUGE resorts... More

Rain showerheads! Bay views!), the weather was sunny and warm, the pools were clean, the drinks were poured, the company was great and the trip had all the signs... More
