We LOVE the Barcelo Puerto Vallarta resort!

This is our second straight year staying at the Barcelo Puerto Vallarta and we LOVE it! We got an excellent package deal via Cheap Caribbean (non-stop flights to/from Seattle on Alaska Airlines, shuttles to/from the airport, and then a great stay at the Barcelo Puerto Vallarta), the weather was wonderful (sunny and 82 degrees every day, with only a bit of clouds the day we arrived and the day we went home). Wonderful pools, an excellent beach, beautiful and comfortable rooms, a great Kid's Club (for ages 5-12... Great activities every day!), and great food. What more could you ask for? The Puerto Vallarta Zoo is just about 1-mile up a dirt/concrete road through a small town, and it a lot of fun. Make sure to purchase a bag of food to feed the animals. Also, if you are up for some "adventure", make sure to sign up for the Los Veranos Canopy Tour! You can register online before you leave home. Then, on your scheduled day, you take a taxi from the front of the hotel about 5-10 minutes south to the Le Kliff restaurant (80 pesos/ $6-$7 dollars as of April, 2012). That's where you meet the Los Veranos shuttle to whisk you up into the jungle to their property on a great river there. The staff is warm, funny, and welcoming and VERY focused on safety. This was a great first experience for our family at ziplining. My wife and I really enjoyed it, and our 6-year old son LOVED it (you have to be at least 6). They bring you back to your hotel for free. We definitely recommend the Barcelo Puerto Vallarta resort and Cheap Caribbean!

Awesome Value

We could hardly stay home is the US for less $$!! It was a great time of year to visit Barcelo Puerto Vallarta as it was off season and only around 25% occupied. Service was great (except for front desk). Food was okay but we were not expecting gourmet based on the price that we paid. One negative was that not all of the restaurants were open due to low season so our choices were limited (not told this prior to booking/arrival). Rooms were very spacious and kept very clean with great views. Grounds were beautiful. Only other negative was that there were children in all of the pools - better if they enforced a children's-only pool and kept them out of the one with the swim-up bar. This was our first all inclusive and we will be doing again - only next time - adults only!

A Hidden Gem

I just returned from Barcelo on January 25th and I wish I was still there. I went on a solo trip to celebrate my 40th birthday and I have no complaints! Rooms, food, pools, drinks, staff, shopping...all great! Exchange your money at the airport though, the hotel had a higher rate. I will certainly consider other Barcelo properties for future vacations.

Anniversary Vacation

My husband and I stayed at Barcelo Peurto Vallarta to celebrate our 3rd wedding anniversary. We were upgraded to the Romance package and given a beautiful ocean view room on the top floor. We also received a bottle of champagne and petit fors in our room upon arrival, as well as 25% off a massage in the spa (which was wonderful I must admint). The staff of Barcelo was outstanding, the accomadations were first rate and the food in the restaurants was superior. All in all we had a wonderful vacation experience, and plan on visiting other Barcelo resorts in our future travels. Definitely a 5 Palms experience. Thanks Barcelo and staff for a simply wonderful experience.

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".

3 years, 38 months ago

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!

Alcoholic Bev included in all inclusive pkg ?3 answers

Is alcohol Bev included in all inclusive package ?

1 year, 15 months ago

Mark

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

LaurenCC

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

Dinning2 answers

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?

1 year, 14 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

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?

1 year, 14 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

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.

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.
