Very clean and comfortable

Very clean. Staff was amazing, Friendly, looked after your every need. Nice beach, the water was a little rough. They say this is the safest area in Mexico and I believe that. Food was better than some places I've been to.

Best ever

The while place was perfect .. be to a ton of places loved it. Will go back again and again. Family had a ball. Kids live the pool food and every bit . Wife and me couldn.t have been happier . And the area eas all you could ask for . Wow wow wow

Very relaxing

We had a very relaxing time at the Barcelo Huatulco. The rooms, pool area, beach, everything was super clean, and staff was very friendly. The evening shows were totally entertaining. We tried 3 of the 4 restaurants and can highly recommend 2 of them.

Great Resort

The resort was great. Service was excellent. Great restaurant choices. Buffet could get better. Activities were well coordinated. Convenient location to the airport and the city. Without hesitation, I can recommend this resort.

NO AIRCONDITIONED BAR

IT IS LIKE A NEW MERCEDES WITH A 11 hp BRIGS LAWNMOWER ENGINE- ALL SHOW NO GO. FOOD POISONING, TOO MUCH HEAT, NO WHERE COOL TO SIT AND HAVE A BEER. DRY PATH FROM THE POOL BAR TO THE WASHROOM, COMBATIVE STAFF AT THE DESK, ETC.

Nice Resort

Almost completed their major renovations which have totally rejuvenated the resort. Great beach, probably best on the bay, and beautiful warm and clear water. They need to get some extra training for their bartenders. Friendly staff and well maintained room - best water pressure in shower of any previous Mexican/Caribbean trip. All things being equal, we would definitely return to this hotel.

Authentic Mexican resort

Room clean & I believe newly updated. Food was good, plenty of variety. Al carte also were good. Grounds were clean. The pool was not up to our standard. The 'adult only', we went swimming in only once. The beach has coarse golden sand. The red flag was up every day we were there. Dangerous surf with undertow for both adults & especially children. We did have fun on the beach & in the water. I did like that every thing was so close. It is a favourite resort for the Mexican people, so it became v [... read more]ery busy & noisy with families (lots of children). The music was played too loud at poolside. My friends & I will pick a adults only resort next time. I would like to mention that the Sunwing reps. we're very friendly & helpful.

GOOD HOTEL DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU PAY FOR A WEEKS

Grounds and rooms are well kept.our room was cleaned in the morning and towels replaced every night and bed turned This Hotel has it good points. easy access to beach and pool. ala carte restaurants are very good. buffet is also good food for every ones taste.The sushi is surprisingly very goodf.

A Piece of Paradise

Example: What did you think about  this hotel? (grounds, public areas, rooms, dining, f features, etc.) The Barcelo Huatulco was a Piece of Paradise. The resort, the staff and the the beach were all amazing! Very quiet, relaxing and truly authentically Mexican. Our room was clean, spacious and had a resort/ocean view. The staff were friendly, attentive and very efficient. The food was fantastic with a very generous variety and gourmet tasty. We are still working off the extra pounds we put on  [... read more]while in Huatulco!The day trip to Santa Cruz and The Magic Emerald Falls were definite highlights of the trip. It was an honour to travel to the Mountains and experience the true undisturbed beauty of the countryside. The village people were proud and welcoming to allow us to discover the paradise they live in and work so hard to sustain. The City of Santa Cruz is breathtaking. We felt very safe and welcomed as we walked about this picturesque wonderland. The shops and market were wonderful places to gather some souvenirs or handmade products or jewelry. The restaurants and bars were unique and inviting. The park square in the centre of the city was well groomed and a peaceful spot to reflect on the lovely vacation spot of Huatulco,Mexico! Our trip to the Barcelo Huatulco was wonderful and it was a pleasure to be able to share this piece of paradise with the proud, friendly and welcoming Mexican people of Huatulco. We will definitely return to the Barcelo Resort and anticipate discovering many more memories in this Piece of Paradise ,Huatulco

Wonderful Stay

We went for a week March 3-10, and we really enjoyed it. One of my favorite things was being able to hear the waves crashing at night while drifting off to sleep. I loved the size of the resort, very intimate.

All round great resort!

We stayed one week from March10-17/2015 at the Barceló Beach Resort Huatulco. Have absolutely no complaints. Food was awesome...Beach fantastic...Weather out of this world. Only fault was we were in a room that was unrenevated and in obvious need of repair. We had no air conditioning for 2 days which made sleeping very uncomfortable. However the management was very accommodating and upgraded us to a newly renovated room with working air conditioner at no extra charge and because of this great s [... read more]ervice would be sure to return if we were given an upgraded room. The animation team we phenominal and keep our kids entertained. May just plan to return next winter!

Good resort!

Pros: good hotel, great location, good rooms, good food, good facilities. Cons: kids club not active when supposed to, not good entertainment for kids in the evening, kids pool slides close 6 pm. Sometimes only one of the two buffet restaurants is open for dinner. Waiters are not really taking care of clients so they deserve a tip.

Simply perfect!

Everything about this resort was perfect! The hotel was beautiful and extremely clean. We did not see any type of insect nor any speck of dust during our stay. The food was delicious and had a different variety every day with so much to choose from. The staff was friendly. The beach was gorgeous. Perfect perfect perfect! Stay here if you want a great vacation !

Very good value and a gorgeous beach!

We did get a fantastic all inclusive deal ($957) so I think it was great value for sure. We have been here about 5 yrs before. The first time we did get a renovated room which was very nice. This time we did not so the bathrooms are very tired and in need however we had a gorgeous view out to the pool, and you can't beat the oceanfront set up here. The resort is a more traditional Mexican style and not too big. Lots to see and do. Because of the age, I'd say accomodation is more a 3.5 star with  [... read more]a 4 star food and beveridge. 5 star beach! Great people. The lobby entertainment featured a 5 pc band and two fantastic lead singers. If they had a chance they would beat anyone on "The Voice" Extremely talented. Thank-you to our extraordinary fishing guide Tony Lopez Lopez who makes amazing margaritas, took us to all the spots that the hotel tours do not and gave us a private tour! Ask for him as he really made the day fun and is a true professional. ( new boats and safe) He also made our Christmas very merry by helping us facilitate toys to one of the poorest of the neighbourhoods AND helped us rescue two cats that were in very poor health as he hooked them up to a local vet for treatment and placement. I felt due to the renovations needed, age and quality of drinks that it is all around about a 3.9 star experience however given the price we paid we were very happy! GREAT VALUE!

Great family atmosphere resort...

Really enjoyed the fact this resort is not huge. Design lay out is very good , so walking distances to the beach, dining,and pool are not more than a couple of minutes. Nice balcony size for the morning coffee and sunrise, while serenaded by ocean waves and the birds around the pool area . Really enjoyed watching the kiddies pool area with the fountain and water slides. Perfect for a grand kid holiday. Fishing and snorkling trips are waiting at the beach. Last day we were given a Sunwing farewel [... read more]l barbecue... how cool is that.!!

Beautiful Resort

The hotel was compact (great for mobility challanged), absolutely beautiful, clean, and welcoming. Staff were friendly and helpful. Food was great, particularily in the speciality restaurants. Area appeared safe, shops in hotel and across the road.

Exactly what we were looking for.

The Barcelo was your average all-inclusive but the weather and the people are what you come for. The hotel is showing its age but if you want something newer book a club room as they have upgraded bathrooms. The food was good, lots of selection, and had no problems booking the al la cartes. The animation team wasn't as "active" as you see in most resorts but still a lot of fun. I would not recommend the show (tried 2) and just enjoyed playing cards and listening to the small band in the hotel ba [... read more]r. If you are looking for a party hotel, this is not for you. If you are looking for a laid back, quiet but fun place to enjoy the sun -- the Barcelo is for you.

Good value for price

Rooms are dated but clean and comfortable. Grounds are well kept. Food is good. Staff friendly. Beach is clean & nice but watch the undertow with small kids or non-swimmers. Close to fantastic small town for safe real Mexican experience. Book boat tours on beach for whale watching, fishing, turtle spotting, snorkelling all in one.
