Folks have been coming back to this hotel year after year for vacation. It's a great gem cut out of the jungle with the convenience of one or two bedroom suites. All of the rooms have recently gone through a total renovation and are beautiful! The restaurants offer great variety and many options. The pool is large and has areas for activities or quiet relaxation....the in pool waterfall is an added bonus.
What I wish I
could change:
Barcelo La Jolla de Mismaloya is the furthest hotel in the southern region of the destination so it isn't within walking distance of anything. Cabs are easily accessible at the motor lobby and the heart of downtown Puerto Vallarta is only 15 minutes away.
Why YOU should
go:
A great getaway in a destination full of great things to do. The best of both worlds, tranquility and plenty of activity. Barcelo la Jolla de Mismaloya offers so many things to so many people. It's incredibly romantic, a great place to splash around with the kids, great fun for a group of friends traveling together, or the perfect place to just kick back and relax.
