Barcelo Puerto Vallarta

My partner and I stayed at Barcelo Puerto Vallarta over this past March break and we simply did not want to leave! We were so pleasantly surprised with how clean the resort is, how wonderful the food tastes and how amazing the service is. A big shout out to the hard working staff, especially Carlos at the buffet. He was very attentive, always had a smile and super friendly. He also spoke English very well as did most of the staff which made it so much more fun to be able to get to know them. They all really try their hardest to make your vacation a positive one! We had a wonderfully large suite, with 2 separate bedrooms and 2 full washrooms! We felt like a King and Queen. It was a great surprise! We are used to larger resorts but honestly, this was just perfect for us. We met so many people who had been to this exact resort more than a handful of times and we totally understand why! Kudos to the management team and exceptional staff - your contributions do not go unnoticed! We appreciate all your love and accommodations. Thank you so very much! :)

My boyfriend and I stayed at Barceló Puerto Vallarta March 6 to the 12th and had a great time! Check in: we had a hiccup at check in, we booked our vacation through Cheap Caribbean and paid for premium wrist bands but when we arrived the resort had our reservation for the regular wrist bands. After 30 minutes of contacting Cheap Caribbean and talking to Barceló reservations they gave us our premium wrist bands. The room: our room was really nice and had a great view. The room was updated and clean. The maid service was great and they cleaned our room really well everyday. The beach: the beach was small but clean, not many people from the resort were on the beach and we had no problems finding chairs. I wish the beach was bigger to walk down. My boyfriend and I love beach walks so that was a downside for us. I did get a wonderful massage down the beach for $20! It was so good, I got a massage 3 times during my stay! The pool: I loved the pool bar and I never had to wait to get a drink because the staff was really attentive and the pool was never too crowded. There were a few more pools as well as a hot tub but I stayed at the pool with the bar most of the time! The restaurants: I tried to keep an open mind on this because a lot of the reviews about the food were bad. We really liked the snack bar. They had your typical pool/lunch food! The pizza and wraps were great! We ate there everyday for lunch. The breakfast was the best: they had fresh juice and amazing mimosas. They had an omelette bar and fresh fruit! It was amazing. We also ate at the buffet for dinner twice and it was okay. Nothing exceptional though. We ate at the A la cart restaurants as well. The Italian restaurant was okay. I liked my seafood pasta but my boyfriend didn’t like his dish. The best restaurant was Los Arcos! I had an amazing salmon and my boyfriend had steak! It was great! I also liked the sushi restaurant, the sushi was good! Also, we were super happy we got the premium wrist bands so that we got top shelf alcohol! I got to drink grey goose all week and it was amazing! Overall we really enjoyed our time at Barceló

We have been to this resort four times and will go back any chance we get. The staff are warm and welcoming and do everything they can to make your experience great, David R. Flores, Edgar Rodrigues Castillo, Geovani Castro, and Lucy Carrillo are a big reason we come back again and again. They are truly great at their jobs.
