  Great recreational staff! Great place!

  We've enjoyed our 5 day stay at Barcelo. It's an easy taxi ride from the airport, located on a beautiful, isolated bay. So picturesque with the colorful boats moored in the bay. The atmosphere is fun -- a great place for young families with kids as well as older adults who can spend their time at the adults only pool! Although older adults, we enjoyed the "kids" side where we enjoyed the swim-up bar and the water exercise classes. In fact, the activities were what we liked the most. We did the stretching class every morning with Denise or Fernando, and the water exercise class at noon every day. It seemed if Denise led the stretching, Fernando led the water exercise, and vice versa. Both were always fun and excellent workouts. Those two were busy all day long, with guessing games, dance exhibitions, and soccer kick competitions-- everyone at the pool roared their excitement or disappointment with each kick. Denise particularly took the time to learn our anes and recognized us by name wherever we saw her. Her kindness and enthusiasm were especially appreciated. The food was good throughout, and plentiful in the all-inclusive format. Beside the breakfast, lunch and dinner buffet at La Fuente, there were 4 specialty restaurants. We enjoyed Don Quixite for tasty Spanish food, Capri's delicious Italian food, Los Arcos for steaks and seafood. We'd like to see a different method for making reservations, but it worked out every day! Our room was very comfortable, with a stunning view of the pools and the bay from the balcony. Everything was kept quite clean. And we thought it was a great value! Thanks, Barcelona! And Denise!

  Barcelo 2026

  We enjoyed our stay. Unfortunately our room flooded when we had a shower. But they did upgrade us to a bigger room. I was disappointed about the lack of entertainment, it was not as fun. Service was good. I do worry about the decks and the railings. They look very unstable and dangerous. We were on the 6th floor and There was very distinct cracks all the way around them. That scared me so we didn’t lean on railing, of course. All in all was a good time. With good company so The lack of entertainment didn’t matter as much. I felt rejuvenated when I returned home.

  Barcelo Mismaloya Jan2026

  Nice hotel right on the beach. We had room 1305 and the bed was horrible, had huge dips in either side of it. We would also go down for breakfast at 8am and the food was cold each morning, this was disappointing.

  Nice Dinner at Capri Italian Resturant

  Armando P. at Capri, the Italian restaurant did a wonderful job. He picked up that my mon speaks a little Spanish and they had a great time chatting and helping her brush up on her Spanish. He also provided great service while the restaurant was full.

  Great Location

  The resort is fantastic. The grounds are extremely beautiful. The location is great. It gives you the feel of real old style Mexico. The only thing is the food is good but not great t the buffet but you will not go hungry.
