    Two weeks at Barcelo

    Very nice resort, well run and looked after, good food. Excellent staff. Was extremely busy with families and overwhelming with crowds at pools and restaurants. But understand as hotel would have been mostly empty if relying on Canadians only for visitors.

    Disappointing

    The food and lack of pool service was very disappointing. We enjoyed the Beautiful beach and friendly staff. We’ll likely stay somewhere else next time.

    Honeymoon at the Barcelo!

    My husband and I went to Ixtapa Barcelo for our Honeymoon. We were both so exhausted when we got here I thought we would sleep the entire time. Much to our delight we enjoyed the hospitality so much at the Barcelo that we went on excursions and snorkels and played each and every day. We go back refreshed and ready to take on the world with smiles to light the winter skies in Canada. Much gratitude to the devoted staff at the Barcelo. We will return!

    Excellent quality stay

    My family and I had a wonderful experience. We stayed in the premium rooms. They we quite large with excellent quality beds and bedding. The view was spectacular with beautiful sunsets every night. The SPA was excellent, we had pedicures, massages, and men's haircuts. The service was like mom other. Their was never a shortage of beverages, wine, cocktail etc. The food was good with many choices. The Italian restaurant was excellent. The lobby is open air with plenty of seating areas to enjoy a drink. The pools are large and relaxing. There's easy access to the beach footsteps away from the pool.
