Tasty Culinary Delights

I had the pleasure of dining at the breakfast and lunch buffets during my stay. The variety of food offered was impressive, with numerous options to choose from, and everything was delicious. The themed nights at the buffet added a fun twist to our meals, and I always found something to satisfy my palate. It was a good culinary experience overall!

Fantastic Kids Club Experience

The Kids Club was a standout feature of our stay. Leticia Rodriguez was absolutely wonderful with my kids, organizing fun and engaging activities every day. This allowed us some much-needed downtime while ensuring the kids had a blast. It's a fantastic amenity for families!

Relaxing Pool Areas

The pools at Barceló were beautifully maintained with lovely waterfalls and iguanas adding to the peaceful atmosphere. It was the perfect spot to relax after a day of exploring. I enjoyed spending my afternoons lounging by the pool and taking refreshing dips to escape the heat. The overall ambiance was tranquil and inviting.

I had a mixed experience at this resort. The location is beautiful, and the atmosphere was lively. The room was spacious and clean, though I had issues with noise from the bar. The food was hit or miss, with the a la carte restaurants being the highlight. However, the service could use improvement, especially with staff training. Overall, it was a decent stay but I might look for other options next time.

7.0/10

My stay at Barceló Puerto Vallarta was a mix of highs and lows. The beach area was small but pleasant, and I appreciated the spa services available down the shore. However, the issues with my family's room, like the unaddressed leak, were disappointing. Great views and attentive pool bar service helped balance things out, but overall, improvements are needed to elevate this resort experience.

Rooms

The family room was spacious with amazing views, but it was outdated and had maintenance issues. I had problems with the shower leaking and a non-functioning TV, which were not adequately resolved.

Service

Service was a bit hit or miss. The cleaning staff was attentive, but I found the maintenance team lacking since the issues with the room were never fully addressed. There was also a hiccup with check-in due to a reservation mix-up.

Location

The hotel is situated in Mismaloya, which offers a unique beach vibe but limits longer beach walks. The location is quite far from town and quite remote.

Dining

Dining options at the hotel varied. The snack bar was decent for lunch, especially the pizza, while the buffet dinners were average. I really enjoyed my meals at the A la carte Italian and Japanese restaurants.

Facilities

The pool area was a highlight, especially the pool bar where I found the service attentive. However, the lack of food served poolside was a downside.
