The resort and the staff were just fabulous. We had a wonderful time. Didn't have any problems getting reservations in the restaurants and the buffet was always something different. Nightly entertainment was also great. Very talented dancers. I would highly recommend this resort to anyone. The only problem we had was getting any upgrades for our anniversary. We didn't ask for much but they asked us to pay for everything. Ended up paying for a late check out. But all in all we had a very nice stay at the resort.

The hotel is very nice. The room is awesome, very comfortable. The food is good. The drinks are veryyyy good. The problem is the bees, there are a lot and you can't enjoy your food and the drinks. There is a great night show by the entertainment team.

I visited Barcelo because a family member got married there. I usually don't stay that south of P.V. The hotel is very secluded. It is very pretty but the service was really bad. The food was not good either. When ever we would ask the waiter for something they would give us a look when at other hotels I have been to in P.V. service is great. The good thing about this hotel are the rooms (they are awesome) and the swimming pools. The beach is very small and the activities at the hotel are almost non-existant. Would I stay here again? probably not. I like staying closer North by the airport where I can walk around P.V. They had really bad service and the people who worked their were not very friendly like at other hotels.

I traveled with myself and two other adults in my family. We stayed for four nights and five days and had the best vacation ever. The staff is wonderful, they all spoke English well, and did whatever it took to make us happy (which wasn't a lot, the place itself was spectacular). There were lots of fun events planned every day for the guests, from Mexican bingo, water volleyball, water aerobics, darts, a 70's and 80's dance party, and even a circus one night. All free entertainment! The food was great and there were plenty of options - even many American dishes with a slight Mexico twist. There were lots of fresh fruits and veggies too for health nuts like myself. The drinks were great too! :) I met someone here that has been coming back each year for years, and I could do the same!

Barcelo was far from my expectaion. It offered everything and more. The staff was great and helped with all the adventure bookings. The pool bar was the next hot spot. The bartenders knew every drinks I asked for. Everyroom has partial ocean and pool view from its balcony.

we've been to puerto vallarta so many times and stayed on different hotels - heard of mismalloya before and told my wife land kids et's try it - caused I always said to myself to see is to believe this is the third BARCELO hotel we have experienced and so far - one of the best hotel all inclusive we been. maybe other traveller are just having a bad days and didnt get what they wanted - but for us most of the staff are friendly and very helpful - we were treated like we are very special - maybe its how we carry our self with them. from reservation to buffet and fine dining - even if we didn't have any reservation on their fine dining they still took us in and served us with a smile. most of the staff remembers us from the first day we checked in and from the days we checked out. my four teenage boys and their friends was well taken care of by the staff. there is only one issue - the nite life seems to be short most of the live band only performs for one hour and they leave at 11PM and as far the DJ's there is none after the live band leave the premesis. the hotel management should do something to improve the nite life since some of us the party begins at 10PM until 2AM at least. some of us like's to stay in the hotel and party for convinience and take advantage of the all inclusive drinks and food and after hit the room for another day of party and good times. but all in all it is one of the best hotel around PUERTO VALLARTA we will be back.

While the property itself at Barcelo was well maintained, service was very poor. The food choices were limited to a buffet which was not appetizing. You could only eat at the 2 better sit-down restaurants 2 times in a 7-night stay. The first room we had was noisy, the refrigerator did not work and it smelled of mildew. The room we moved to was very nice and very clean. Service poolside was almost non-existent until you tipped a waiter, if you could find one. Tables in the buffet were seldom setup correctly and even a manager failed to understand that silverware, etc. was lacking. We had to return to the front desk 4 times because our electronic keys kept going dead and locking us out of our room. We would not return to this hotel nor recommend it to friends or family.

worth it values for the cost of the trip - we cant ask for more - staff are friendly and helpful - you got to be positive to have a better trip and good times - always remember you are there to have a good time - dont let one little issues ruin your vacation - we us a family when we travel we make sure the staff and anyone around us understand that we are to be pleased as to the best of their ability nothing more. were not there to give the staff a hardtime or be picky - we were there to have a good time and that's what we did. here's the deal as long as i get up in the morning after partying and enjoying myself - and i dont have to cook and the same goes with lunch and dinner and i dont have to clean after - i call that heaven. we were there to have a great times and went all over puerto vallarta to enjoy ourselves. from canopy trip, boating tour to almost everything we can handle ourselves. we even brought our own especial drinks (cognac and napa valley wine) and other games to keep us busy. we just dont rely on the staff - we want it to be us - our own memory of our good times of our vacation us a family no one else. please dont be picky and have attitude issues just be yourself and enjoy your vacation and have a great time. this is one of the best place to enjoy - except the nite life - management needs to do something about it - like us we would to just to be in the hotel and take advantage of the all inclusive.

We stayed at the "Barcelo" for 4 days and 3 night which was for sure not long enough! The drive to the hotel is a little crazy like everyone else said it is about 30 to 45 mins from the airport the ride was fun and kinda thrilling! So much to see in such little time! We got to the hotel early evening on the 10th of May little did we know that it was Mother's day in Mexico so we couldn't get reservations for dinner which was just fine with us we kind of expected. The buffet had a wonderful view and pretty good food too I loved the fresh fruit everyday! Our room was MORE THAN WE COULD HAVE EVER ASK FOR! We got a grand master suite on the 8th floor in the tower on the right which gave us premium wraist bands which paid for them selfs. It has a foyer/seating area, guest bath, diningroom/wetbar, living room, huge wrap around balcony that you get the full view from EVERY direction the ocean the condos, the pool, the jungle, everything!!! Our expericence with waitress/waiters/bartenders/maids was awesome they were always smiling and happy to help. We also tipped as much as we could and the look on their faces when they get a tip makes you feel really great! Trust me it is important to tip they don't make near as much as our servers here in the USA. The food was pretty good as a whole we ate at the buffet every morning at the closest table by the ocean the food was great a few things wee just okay or differnt. Capri Resterant which was excellent service, food & Los Arcos was great also. Drinks we yummy to. Thanks Barcel 4 a great honeymoon!

The Barcelo La Jolla De Mismaloya was a beautiful resort. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The food there was excellent and there was a great variety. The rooms were clean and much larger than expected for just the basic room. The area is extremely beautiful.

It's great, but the room was noisy at night after 9 PM because the bar and people talking and you can hear all of that even I stayed at the 6th floor (room need to be seal from sound). Hotel was far from almost everything like downtown, boardwalk, marina, air port, etc... Beach was OK not the greatest. I got diary after dinner in the capri dining room (the steak).

The hotel staff was excellent. The rooms were excellent. Two seperate buildings. The rooms in our side were very modern with alot of marble, granite, plasma t.v.'s, upscale bedding and furniture. The other building had rooms that were not as upscale. They were as spacious but not equipped with as many amenities. The time of the year we were there & after a rainy period of weather they had a mosquito problem. As hard as they tried to keep abreast of the bugs they couldn't and it did affect our stay. Beautiful hotel with wonderful food and excellent staff, I would recommend the resort to families and groups.

This is the third all-inclusive trip that my husband and I have been on; the 2nd one to Mexico, so we know what to look for quality-wise. This hotel left us dissatisfied. I am through with Mexico. The hospitality at this hotel sucked hard. There were four restaurants, the nicest two required reservations and you were limited to only one dinner between the two for your whole stay unless you stayed for a week; then you could have two meals. The main place where most people ate was an outside, open air dining deal. I saw a cat, a bird, ants, and flies that got to the food before you did. It was enough to turn my stomach from most items. I'm not sure these people are familiar with sanitation and hygiene either. I doubt that most of the food was kept at the proper temps. My husband and I developed upset stomachs by the end of our 4-night stay. The beach was a little strip of sand. The water was occupied with motorboats, jetskis, and roped off, and this stretch of ocean is not the most beautiful that Mexico has to offer.

This resort was just what I had hoped for, not in the hustle and bustle of downtown Puerta Vallarta. It was very relaxing and the food was quite good. The only downside was it was a little noisy with all of the activities going on around the pool area.

We needed a week of rest and relaxation and found it here. The facility has recently upgraded the rooms. We stayed on the 8th floor in the south wing and enjoyed the ocean view from our bed. The bathroom upgrade to tile and glass was wonderful. It looked like they were changing the balcony table to one that worked better with the chairs. The service in the restaurants was not as good as last year, butdid not negatively impact our stay. The food was very good. The fresh fruit selection was wonderful.
