Excellent Buffet Experience

The buffet at Barcelo Puerto Vallarta was a highlight of my stay. It offered a wide array of dishes, and we developed some favorites by the end of the week. The taco bar was a standout with freshly made tortillas, and the pizzas were delicious too. It was a great choice for every meal!

Spacious and Comfortable Rooms

I really appreciated the spaciousness of the family premium room we stayed in. It was very comfortable, and even though we were the furthest from the ocean, we still enjoyed a beautiful view from our balcony. It truly felt like a home away from home.

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 Barcelo 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

6.0

The family room was spacious with amazing views, but it was outdated and had maintenance issues.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

7.0

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

7.0

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

7.0

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

8.0

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.
