Barcelo Puerto Vallarta - All Inclusive

The hotel was just what a needed, a place to relax and away from the crowds. It is perfectly situated away from the town and main tourist area, between green lushed of mounatins. The beach was not the best but it did the job. The staff was nice. The only other thing was that there was only two bars - swim up and the bar. It got a little crowded at times and it would take a while to get drinks.

The location was perfect. The staff was very friendly and such amazing and yummy food with alot of selections for breakfast lunch and dinner. The mariachi and different music bands every night of the week was a good variety I enjoyed.

Our family traveled the week after Easter and had a great time. I wouldn't say this is the greatest resort, but pretty nice for the price. I would definitely recommend the deluxe upgrade. Not much more money and you get checked in and out quickly, as well as a room on the top 3 floors where the view is fantastic. Also access to a private lounge with better selection of liquer(the only place I could get my Sapphire Gin). Unlimited Al-A-Carte is nice as well. The rooms were nice with plenty of room with our 2 younger kids. Food was ok, nothing exceptional.

for a family of four the premium club double bedroom suites are a good value.

My wife and I had a wonderful time at Bacelos. It was a great experience for both of us. The resort was very impressive! We enjoyed everything about our 6 day visit. My wife enjoyed a massage on the balcony in our room. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The pools were awesome! We went Zip lining and had a blast. We hope to go again next year.

Rooms were the best we have ever had at a MX resort - big and very clean. Food at buffet was OK - specialty restraurants very good. Bar and bar tenders very good. Recommend asking for double shots of alcohol (which they happily give). We tipped everyone on a regular basis but I think they were good anyway. Shows were cheesy but OK. Resort had many locals/kids but it was durring their holiday season as well. Overall good for the price. Would recommend finding Chava on the beach and doing snorkeling/waterfall tour. Very nice guy and good tour (paid $25/p) for 4 1/2 hrs plus we paid him to get us a case of beer w/ice. Its off the beaten path but can take a cab to town for a day for shopping.

For the money I couldn't be more pleased! The hotel and setting were beautiful. The size of our room for a a family of 3 was much larger than expected and well laid out. The food was average to good. The breakfast buffet was outstanding! To my surprise the gym was better than expected with a nice selection of weight-training equipment. The only downside was the beach area was small but we were well aware of that in advance. All in all our stay was a great value!

The weather was perfect, which helped us enjoy the pools and the beach. The vendors were pests on the beach, but tolerable. We took advantage of snorkeling thru one of the beach contacts and it turned out to be a great deal for all 12 of us. The service was a bit slow in the snack bar, but elsewhere it was great! This was a great all-inclusive resort, that would be even greater if they paid more attention to the details---the hotel placed us in a room directly over the Cantina Bar that played loud music until 1am. The hotel moved us to a quieter room, but the phones did not work. In the end, the hotel moved us to a third room, a larger suite, where everything worked great.

Experience was fine. Food ok a little boring after 5 days. Staff ok - some days better than others getting drinks poolside.

This resort is clean and most of the staff is very friendly and helpful. The food at the restaurants is decent and the pools and common areas are always kept clean. We did have a bit of a gripe -- our confirmed dinner reservation at one of the resort restaurants had somehow mysteriously "disappeared" and we were denied entry (without apology) and forced to eat dinner at the buffet. We asked the front desk about the situation and a staff member confirmed that our reservation should have been honored, but we were not offered anything to make up for the situation. Other than this small mishap, the staff was helpful and friendly and the rooms were spacious, clean and modern. This resort is definitely a great value. Singles, be warned -- lots of kids at this resort!
