Wish you could take a break from it all? Well it's time to let go of your
stress and head towards the sandy shore of the beachfront Barcelo Puerto
Vallarta. This all-inclusive resort, located between a tropical jungle and the
Pacific, offers sublime views only 15 minutes from downtown Puerto Vallarta;
close enough to see the sights, but far enough that the crowds won't stress you
out! The resort's stretch of beautiful Mismaloya Beach was the location for the
famous Richard Burton film, Night of the Iguana, and is an all-time favorite
for families thanks to the gentle waves.

Great holiday
We had a great and relaxing holiday. Service was high quality. great and various food every day. make sure to bring long casual pants for man to be able to dine at a la carte restaurants. we really enjoyed Spanish and Japanese ones. great activities throughout the day. volleyball, aqua aerobics, darts and much more. rooms are very big. Beach is sandy, however it can be quite narrow due to the high tide. overall we had an imaging holiday.

Good but Front Desk/Concierge Needs Improvement
The property and room were really exceptional. We had a suite with a partial ocean view. The poolside and restaurant service was great and attentive. However, we ran into issues with the front desk upon check-in. We arrived a little after 4 pm and were not informed that we needed to make dinner reservations for the special restaurants no later than 5pm. So by the time we got our room, it was too late. Upon calling they added us to the restaurant "as a favor." That's a bit insulting. The front desk also didn't inform us that we needed to tell the bellhop which room we were checking into. So, we waited nearly an hour to get our bags. We had to call about that as well. The concierge desk had only one person who was helpful for getting reservations but the others were more interested in saying "no" than trying to work on alternative dinner plans or making a minimum effort. If the initial check-in has better communication, many problems will resolve themselves. Otherwise, the beach was fine but small. The pools are very pretty and accessible with good service.

All- Inclusive7 answers
Is it only "all-inclusive" at Barcelo Mismaloya?,. With all the gourmet restaurants close to the downtown, and even the palapa restsurants next door, I'd prefer it not "all inclusive".

Apple guy
The Barcelo is sold strictly as an All Inclusive resort. You can absolutely travel off property, however all of your meals and beverages are included in the pricing for this resort. There are a number of other resorts in the area, however, which are not All Inclusive. These can be found by using the gold "Create Your Own Vacation" box, selecting your dates of travel, departure city, and "No Meals" under the Meal Plan option.
KateCC
They do offer the all-inclusive as extra. But I would totally recommend the all-inclusive plan. Amazing food from 4 different choices (plus an extra for snacks), and downtown is about a 30-35 min drive.
Tiggerburg
I believe other hotels/resorts offer all-inclusive packages as well. If you choose to stay at Barcelo, I don't think you have to choose the all-inclusive package.
Barroness
No, it is not only all inclusive all the Barcelo Mismaloya. We did the all inclusive, but they had pricing available for those who did not purchase the all inclusive package. In fact, I believe that is why they limit the a la carte restaurant reservations for the all inclusive folks. I thought the prices were a bit steep though! For example, I believe I remember seeing the buffet price once at around $30 U.S...I just know I remember thinking the all inclusive was definitely worth it.
Martinst
yes it is only all inclusive
sunburned
Any Barcelo provides no inclusive if you ask for it.
spokoDTW
Yes, it is all-inclusive only. ...and the food is great. PLUS... It's at least a 15-20 drive (each way) to downtown. If you want to spend most of your time in the Romantic District (as we have in the past and had a GREAT time), then you'll want to choose a hotel in that area. It wouldn't be fun going back and forth!

Domestic alcoholic beverages are included in the Barcelo Puerto Vallarta's all inclusive package.

Yup you get the best service if you tip a dollar every few drinks
Stacia
Yes, if you upgrade to Premium a little better selection in the club premium room
PARpatty
Yes but only mid and bottom shelf liquors are included...if you purchase the VIP pass for a large fee you get access to the top shelf liquors and a VIP lounge that has snacks, discounted spa services and unlimited access to the a la cart restaurants.

My experience with All-Inclusive food has typically been daily buffets with some specialty restaurants with restrictions limiting their use or closed because of the time of year. What are the dining options for this 4 day All-Inclusive package?
3 years, 44 months ago
Keith
This resort has 2 buffet resturants and 3 a la carte resturants. This resort offers 1 a la carte dinner per 2-3 night stays, 2 a la carte dinners for 4-6 night stays and 3 a la carte dinners for stays of 7 nights.
CaitlinCC
They advertise two with a four night stay. But don't plan on getting what you want or when you want it. I had the 4 night package and only got one speciality restaurant , because nothing was available the rest of my stay. I advised you reserved though the hotel before you go.
JDMarley
The food at this Barceló was terrible, buffet is open 3 different times a day and you will get one or 2 a la cart restaurant reservation cards for a 4 night stay when you check in. You must make reservations in person with the concierge and present the reservation card at that time.
BostonDude
Your experience will be the same here. However, we only visited the sushi restaurant, but we would have been better off visiting McDonald's. And although there was a dress code, it was senseless for them to make the request as it was not worth the effort of changing clothes. The food was less than mediocre and we left hungry and hoping the buffet was still open...that should say plenty.

Can one walk into PV from the hotel?7 answers
Is town walkable, if not, how much is a cab ride in U.S. dollars? Also can men wear dress shorts with a shirt into the ala carte restaurants?
3 years, 44 months ago
LA, California
This resort is located outside of the Puerto Vallarta Hotel Zone; therefore, a little too far to walk. The resort will be more than happy to assist in arranging a cab to take you in to town if you wish to explore--you would have to discuss the fare with the cab driver (although, the front desk might be able to give you a rough idea). We recommend business casual for the a la carte restaurants.
LaurenCC
No
WELOVEPUERTOVALLARTA
No you can't walk there. Not sure how much a cab ride is. They write on your reservation card no shorts, but I saw men in the speciality restaurants wearing cargo shorts.
JDMarley
Downtown PV is too far to walk. It is about a 20-25 minute cab ride, or you can take the bus for 60 pesos.
rfin
PV is about a 40 minute taxi ride and about $20.00 US.
Shorts are not allowed in the a la carte restaurants.
AlexL1
Not walkable 40 minutes by taxi, $18 one way. Will allow shorts if they have room to sit you outside. Can take bus for $3 comes by every 15 minutes.
howdy59
This resort about 15-20 min cab ride into town. No you could not walk. They do have a city bus available outside of resort. Exchange money to Pesos for cab ride, approximately $20. In American dollars. Cheaper if you use Pesos.

Can two people who are sharing a room book flights from different cities?2 answers

atlanta, ga
Yes, two people who are planning on sharing a room can fly in from different cities, your departure destination does not affect your resort reservation.
BethCC
Yes but you have to call and book with an operator; you cannot book separate flights online. My friend lives in Kansas City and I am in St. Louis. We just called CheapCaribbean and a nice operator scheduled a trip for us where my friend flew out of KC and I out of STL and we met in Phoenix, then flew together to Puerto Vallarta.

Bug spray and sun tan lotion4 answers
Is there a place to buy bug spray and sunblock in our very close to the hotel?

Ruth
The gift shop on site should have those items but for cost reasons, it is recommended to bring your own. You'll want to purchase travel sized items if you do not intend on checking a bag when you fly.
CCGreg
Yes right at the resort. They only take pesos but you can exchange money at the front desk.
Nsmithryan
Yes there is a store in the resort that sells both. It is very expensive though and I would recommend getting some in PV before you go to the resort if you don't wish to pack it. Bugs are terrible btw so get lots of bug spray!!!

Yes but very expansive.

Hotel Description
Barcelo Puerto Vallarta: Enjoy All Inclusive Family Fun on Beautiful
Mismaloya Beach
Wish you could take a break from it all? Well it's time to let go of your
stress and head towards the sandy shore of the beachfront Barcelo Puerto
Vallarta. This all-inclusive resort, located between a tropical jungle and the
Pacific, offers sublime views only 15 minutes from downtown Puerto Vallarta;
close enough to see the sights, but far enough that the crowds won't stress you
out! The resort's stretch of beautiful Mismaloya Beach was the location for the
famous Richard Burton film, Night of the Iguana, and is an all-time favorite
for families thanks to the gentle waves.
Spend your day lounging on the beach while the kids build sandcastles or
spend time at each of the four, lushly landscaped pools, complete with
waterfalls, for a jungle experience. Need quiet time? The two Jacuzzis are for
adult-only! When you can't ignore the delicious smells any longer, tackle the
five dining options. Thick cuts of steak with a Mexican twist are the rage at
Los Arcos, and kids enjoy the authentic Spanish tapas at Don Quijote. Catch a
dance show after dinner, courtesy of the entertainment team, or belt your lungs
out at karaoke. If you just want to get down and party, try La Cantina Bar
where you can get the party started off right with savory tequila shots.
Don't party too hard, though, or you'll sleep through the Barcelo Puerto
Vallarta all inclusive perks: kayaking, snorkeling or a game of water
volleyball. Kids get to have their fun, too, at Barcy Mini Club where balloon
fights, pinatas and treasure hunts keep them active, while you master Spanish
verbs or take a salsa class. Since the jungle is so close, think about the
zip-line excursions through the canopy for a thrilling adventure. Want
something slower? Barcelo's U spa has a passion-fruit wrap that leaves your
skin feeling hydrated and fresh.
Contemporary comfort is the name of the game in the 316, tastefully
decorated suites. Marble showers and fully stocked mini bars give couples a
relaxing way to end the night in the Junior Suite Deluxe. Need room for the
family? We recommend the two-bedroom Family Suite Deluxe for sleeping in
style.
