Just returned with my 7 year old after being told this was a "family resort". The first night expected a show, as with all other resorts, including kids instead got Karaoke. Although I was told Sunday was the only night they didn't have a show it seemed that they didn't have a show four of the eight nights we stayed.... more

We are a family of four...44, 42, 11 and 7, and we stayed from Aug 11th-15th. Overall, we found the resort to be very welcoming, clean, friendly and low-key, and we would certainly go back! However, I wouldn't recommend this resort to young single people as there really wasn't much nightlife and it's about 20 minute cab ride from downtown... more

First impressions were that this is a beautiful place, but there is a serious problem at Barcelo. We only drank bottled water. The problem was the food. Food & drinks were disappointing. They made them as cheap as possible. Buffet is bad! Our daughter got very ill from chicken she ate there. She lost 2 days. Throwing up and cramping.... more

Had a wonderful time at this resort. The rooms were incredible. Clean, spacious and comfy. The Wife would have enjoyed bathtub, but she loved the "rainmaker" shower head. Leo and Rosie were spectacular bartenders, perhaps too good. Leo was quick to catch the hint that The Wife didn't want me having too much tequila, so he discreetly slipped me shots... more

My family and I just returned from our vacation to Puerto Vallarta and the Barcelo La Jolla De Mismaloya that we booked on American Express. I had never booked a trip through American Express but given how much I value the American Express brand and my great satisfaction as a cardholder I wanted to give the travel program a try.... more

My friends and I arrived on a Sunday afternoon with a glass of Asti and helpful attendants. When i got to the front desk I made sure that we were going to have an oceanview room and was told it was a partial view. I immediately told Julio the attendant that we paid for an oceanview not partial. He explained... more

I stayed at the hotel Barcello In July with my sister and a girlfriend. The rooms are clean and beautiful, the beds are comfy.They had a flat screen tv with plenty of movie channels. The sunsets are breathtaking. The staff is friendly and sweet, especially Marco, the waiter at the main buffet style restaurant. The food was good, not great.... more

I am a very picky when it comes to cleanliness for a hotel room and food. I always read up on Trip Advisor before booking a trip, and was very leery when I read so many negative reviews regarding the Barcelo Mismaloya with sickness and such. I’ll give the pro’s and con’s of our trip, but with that said –... more
