Barcelo Bavaro Palace: Going back

Will absolutely return, which is the best recommendation I can think of. Trip Central's Monique, was a great help with the booking to help put our minds at ease by answering all our questions so we could enjoy our trip.

Barcelo Puerto Vallarta: Good all around All inclusive

Firstly the area and property of the resort and its surroundings is beautiful with mountains and jungle. The resort itself is very clean and about a 45-1hour drive from the airport. The staff is very pleasant and aim to please, David and Moses were stand outs. The reins are very large and more than you will ever need. Don’t waste your money on the upgraded prestige package it provides very little for the money. The resort is close to snorkelling and other boat tours so no need to head into PV. T [... read more]he resort buffet for breakfast was great, like most resorts the buffet was mediocre for lunch and dinner. The lunch shack with tacos and plate lunch was good and the À la Carter’s were good. This is a quieter resort with not much to do at night. The pools and wether we’re perfect. The beach was small and the bay has a ton of boats, not the nicest but it did the job. I would recommend this resort to others overall. I would rate this resort a 4 out of 5

Barcelo Maya Colonial: Barceló

We enjoyed our stay at the Barcelo The food was awesome and we enjoyed the à la carts. Our room was kept very clean but we had difficulty adjusting the air conditioner and found the sheets very damp due to the excess humidity. We did not enjoy the towel game. There were not enough loungers available due to people from other areas ie Tropical etc using the beach front in front of the Colonial The staff was excellent

Barcelo Maya Tropical: Great Resort!

We had a great week. Beautiful sunny week with nice temperatures. Lots of fun doing activities on resort and one outing with Transat. The staff were nice and a special thanks to Armin Morales for making our week by greeting us in the mornings with a beautiful smile and just having us laugh which made a great way to start a day. The room was okay but the bathroom can be renovated. The food was delicious. All in all we had a great week!! Monique & Brian.

Barcelo Maya Caribe: Wonderful vacation

The grounds, rooms, restaurants are all super well maintained. Service was excellent and the friendly welcoming staff added much to our stay. Lots of sargassum on the beach but that is beyond the resort’s control. They worked very hard to remove it.

Allegro Cozumel: Amazing resort!

This resort is not a five star but definitely a 4.5 star. Food can be improved! You can always find something to eat,repetitive menu for buffet! The resort grounds and rooms are beautiful. By far the beach is the best and very good snorkeling! The entertainment staff kept the vibe going for sure! Many games were played and shows were seen! Thank you Allegro for an amazing holiday! Carnival week was a hit!

Barcelo Maya Colonial: Absolutely amazing Resort

We loved everything about this resort. We were fortunate enough to be put in The Colonial section (Jalisco Bldg). I can’t even think of anything negative to write. After 10 days I guess the buffets felt a bit repetitive.. but that being said you never went hungry and could always find something you liked. No one likes a hot soup on a hot day but their home made daily soups were amazing. The ala carts were fabulous.. the drink service ladies were awesome.. the pools clean and the swim up bar sta [... read more]ff awesome. Just everything about it was exceptional. It is a huge resort tho and we did venture out .. but we stayed in our section for the most part. I would highly recommend to anyone

Barcelo Maya Colonial: What an Amazing Resort

This trip was booked by my daughter for them and there two girls and both sets of grandparents. I read reviews about it before leaving and was not sure what to expect. But upon arrival it was a beautiful sight to see from check in to check out, we were met with the most kindness and polite people I have ever met including the grounds keepers. the resort is beautiful and very big I have never been to a resort with such big pools and beautiful surroundings. The meals were good and never went  [... read more]below our expectations. all in all I loved it and hope to come back, the kids loved the kids swim and play area. nothing but excellent service and appreciation.

Occidental Caribe: Beautiful Beach

While this hotel is very large and the staff are wonderful, there is areas of the hotel that are run down. We had issues in our room the first night with water dripping from the ceiling in the washroom. We were moved to another room after many trips of going to the front desk and complaining. It was only when I spoke to a butler named Juan Carlos that we actually were moved to another room. He is the one that did everything possible to make our stay amazing. The grab bars in the shower in both o [... read more]f our rooms were protruding out of the wall ready to fall. The grab bars in the elevator were protruding out of the wall and one night it actually got ripped off and it was hung there for a day before someone actually removed it leaving two gaping metal holes on the wall. Food was amazing. A huge selection. I had to get up early to save beach chairs if I wanted some as they got taken up early. There is a lot though. But I stay here again? For the price probably not. If I got a good deal maybe yes. Another issue we ran into was my husband and I both got very sick 3 days before our trip was over. We ended up with a respiratory illness. With the amount of people touching the same utensils in the buffet, it's bound to happen. I would much prefer the food being served so only one person touches the utensils. I know higher end resorts have this way of doing things.

Allegro Cozumel: Beautiful resort

Loved this resort. The beach is great with a beautiful candy bottom and the waves were very calm especially for our grandchildren. The kids pool was amazing .The food was good and the japanese restaurant was so much fun. The staff are so friendly and helpful. Our room was good and stocked daily with water, beer and soft drinks. We'll be back for sure!

Barcelo Maya Tropical: Good resort, enjoyed out time.

This is our second time going to the Barcelo Mayan resort as we were there in 2018 for the Luke Bryan Crash My Playa and it hasn't changed much since. The resort is kept clean and maintained to a certain point but the more you look the more you see broken or well used items. As it is such a huge resort the maps available in the resort or online are terrible, you can easily get turned around or lost and also having multiple staff tell you a particular restaurant or place in the resort was totally [... read more] incorrect and have you running around getting frustrated. The buffets were good and the a la carte restaurants were very good, we especially loved the Tokyo and Capri restaurants! On average the staff were pleasant but encountered more staff that didn't attempt to understand what you were asking and also would not look at you even after saying good morning or hello... Air Transat had it classified as a 5 star but I would say it is more of a 3.5 to 4 star.

Barcelo Maya Tropical: Amazing Holiday

We loved the hotel. The restaurant were amazing. Beds were very comfy. But I would recommend that they have better maps to locate the different restaurants. Steve has been amazing and would recommend anyone to book with him. The resort and beach were beautiful. The staff very helpful. I would definitely come back again and would recommend this resort

Barcelo Maya Palace: Repeat customer

We have visited the Barceló palace on 5 or 6 vacations. The service is always good. Food is good. Maintenance on the resort is constantly happening and things are maintained well The beach is spectacular and if you love to walk…this is the place for you

Occidental Nuevo Vallarta: Amazing resort.

Grounds and lobby areas very clean and well kept. Staff very friendly and easy to deal with. Pools very well maintained and pool decks very clean. Some pool lounge chairs need to be replaced or re-covered. Restaurants and food - excellent, and wait staff also excellent. Royal concierge very attentive and accommodating.

Barcelo Puerto Vallarta: Good and Bad

Pros: Gorgeous views from the room, not overly busy, lots of seating/lounging options, good entertainment. Resort was clean, pools were nice. Staff was very friendly. Felt safe even with the public beach and restaurants nearby. Cons: Both beds in our room gave us back pain because they were sinking. Pillows were too thick for my liking, more back pain lol. Food was a bit dry and not as tasty as other Barcelo resorts. Something I ate upset my stomach (suspecting it was the fruit). Beach is pub [... read more]lic and waves and undertow can get pretty strong even for good swimmers. There was no conditioner in our showers, just shampoo and two body wash.

Occidental Punta Cana: English speaking guests not welcome!

This is a beautiful property with multiple pools and easy access to the beach. Some of the quality however has been compromised since we last there in 2020. The steak restaurant for example was huge disappointment. The steaks we were served was certainly not of the same quality as what we had experienced in our previous visits. The biggest shock however was how unhospitable the front desk and guest services staff were, to the point of being rude. Many of them spoke little or no English and made [... read more] no attempt to be helpful. Announcements of pool activities were only in Spanish. There were about 40% of us non Spanish speaking and we felt very unwelcome. For a major chain like Barcelo this was very disappointing. We had the same problem at the airport. We were told there was no English spoken and when I asked for a wheelchair for my mobility issues, I was told there are none in the airport. When I explained about my difficulty, the staff member shrugged! Not only will we not be returning to this hotel, I will not return to this unwelcoming and monolingual country!

Allegro Cozumel: Staff were great, especially Dana, server at the pool!

The rooms were small and dated but very clean. King bed was comfy, sheets and pillows very clean. We really enjoyed our stay but don’t lose your wrist bracelet which opens your room. These are tied on and the staff member that tied mine and my wife’s on did not tie it well. We both had ours fall off and I lost mine. This cost me 1000 mx pesos.
