"The Barcelo is a nice hotel with a good location. The beach is flat, long and very walkable which we enjoyed. It was very busy and there was a lot of trouble finding an empty chaise in the morning. People were leaving their towels on them overnight. The staff were overworked and we felt hurried over our meals. The pool bar was full of the same group of about twenty people who were there all day every day and got louder as the day went on. The young people who organized the activities were great, Zumba, pool aerobics beach volleyball, they did it all. We upgraded to an ocean view room which brought the price up to more than what we felt it was worth. I think if we had gone a different week when it was maybe not so crowded it would had been more enjoyable for us. Overall we had a good week at the Barcelo not a great week."

"We enjoyed our stay. We had a lovely room with two beds, a separate bathroom with tub and a huge balcony. The view from our room was unobstructed. We watched the sunset which was spectacular over Ixtapa Island. The staff was professional and friendly and because the hotel was not full we were able to eat in the lovely Oyster Bar Restaurant several times. We had breakfast in Colores every morning. I am not impressed with the "dog friendly" aspect of the hotel. The nicest seats near the front with the view and air flow are reserved for people with dogs. These people are choosing food from the buffet without washing their hands first. We went our on the sailboat twice for a little tour out in front of the hotel and saw the beaches of Azul Grand and the old Club Med site. There was a Karaoke hour from 9-10 every night followed by disco and dancing which was fun. Overall we spent the week at the hotel by the pool, walking the beach and just relaxing. We would definitely return."

"This is an older hotel with very little entertainment so be prepared to create your own. The views are incredible and so is the staff. The private beach was awesome but if you aren't comfortable with large waves, stay out of the water. The food was really good but the selection was limited. "

"A great room with a wonderful ocean view."

" The staff were really nice and very helpful throughout my stay. Housekeeping was a little unusual, as I had to ask them to come and touch up the room instead of it being done automatically. The shower also doesn’t have a door, so quite a bit of water splashes out and can make a mess in the bathroom. Aside from those minor issues, everything else was perfect. I would definitely recommend this place."

"Pool was very enjoyable and yes we had an ocean vuew."

"La comida fue demasiado limitada en variedad y no es posible que hagan tan poquita comida, muchas veces era hora temprana para comer o desayunar y ya no había comida."

"Food was always cold and so was the water for showering. For those reasons I would not recommend this place."
