    Great customer service

    Had a great customer service experience. Casandra Rodriguez was very polite and extremely helpful. She patiently answered all of our questions and gave us great suggestions to enhance our experience. I traveled with my 2 little girls and Barceló provided accommodation such as providing a crib.

    Beautiful location & local scene

    Mismaloya beach is undeniably beautiful. Barcelo Resort is average and could use maintenance, food and customer service upgrades. That said, those amenities come with a cost. Barcelo Resort is a budget-friendly alternative and certainly benefits from it's unparalleled surrounding natural beauty.

    Premium bar experience

    Cesar in the premium bar is amazing. Friendly, welcoming, and personable. Definitely make it a point to stop in for a drink! There is also a small food buffet available that has something for everyone, and a cappuccino machine, which are both kept up with perfectly.
