Barcelo Huatulco - All-Inclusive

We had a great vacation,the hotel was nice and clean just had a problem with our room that was to close to the bar and was very noisy,next day I asked to move to another room and they gave us a better one,dinner you have to schedule but it’s ok

My wife and I loved this Barcelo resort, and we plan to return again in future years. Huatulco is always worth the long flights from the USA, and usually requires at least 3 flights in total. Getting to the resort was simple with a taxi, and once at the resort we had no reason to leave (other than the desire to explore Las Crucecitas). The beach was gorgeous and not too busy. The pools were large and not too busy either (we visited in early February). Other visitors tended to wake up early and reserve chairs by the pool for use later in the day, which was annoying for the first day or two until we started waking up early to do the same (if you can't beat them, join them). While the resort appears to be great for kids, the kids areas were separate from where we spent our time and we never felt like our trip was disrupted by this at all. The room we got (lowest tier) was plenty of space for 2, and we have no complaints. We even got a good view and a king bed (although rooms in this tier can also have 2 double beds and less-than-stellar views, we were told by other travelers). The room was very close to everything on the resort grounds, which was very convenient if we needed to run back for something during the day. The food and drink was great, we have no complaints at all. It is on track with what we have been served at other all-inclusive resorts in the area, which is to say that it is delicious. We felt very safe at the resort, and in town as well (although our room safe didn't function while we were there, and we gave up trying to coordinate getting it fixed after a couple days because we needed to be in the room when the repair happened). My wife has been to more all-inclusive resorts than she can count, and she says this is among her favorites. I have been to fewer resorts, but this is also one of my favorites. We will be going back again soon!

We went to celebrate our weeding anniversary there. I pay for the gold band which is suppose to be the top of the line. The room I reserved was given to someone else when I arrived and I was placed in another room. The "full ocean view" view was not the same and room have several problems. toilet didn't flush, water line plugged and there was no hot water in shower. After reported I was placed once again in another room. The bar tender Abel was given the corona beer to anyone asking for it as long it was a girl no matter that kind of beer was not what she paid for. The lobby bar is supposed to be formal after 6 pm but people from the pool was coming in bathing suit leaving a trail of water all over including sitting on the "formal lobby bar". I was enjoying a whisky with my husband when a couple coming from the pool sit at the lobby bar and they were getting drinks. The music start at 7 pm and this guy got up and start singing NO ONE from the supervision stop this man and remind him that clothes must to be worn. I feel that our favorite spot at Bahias de Huatulco is loosing good class rating to become poor class. I attached a picture of the "super star half way naked at the formal dress code hours in Barceló Huatulco" I will be looking for another place to stay next year.

Can't say enough about the great service throughout our stay from the front desk to poolside service. Perfect choice for family with toddlers to teenagers.
