Top Playa Palmares Hotel Reviews

Barceló Puerto Vallarta - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"We recently stayed at Barceló, and overall, it was a memorable experience. I'm writing this review specifically for travelers who, like me, like to know what to expect before arriving. Beyond simply rating the resort, I wanted to provide practical information that may help with planning, from accommodations and dining to transportation, activities, and a few things to consider before your trip. I'll highlight both the positives and areas where knowing what to expect ahead of time can make your stay more enjoyable. One of the things that stood out to us was how friendly and helpful the staff were throughout our stay. The swim-up bar was also a nice spot to relax and enjoy the day. I was especially impressed by how much work goes into maintaining the resort. The staff are constantly working behind the scenes to keep everything clean and well cared for, and their hard work definitely shows."

Luxury Villa on the Best Swimming Beach in Puerto Vallarta w/ Full Staff & Pool

10/10 Excellent

"You can not a better vacation house. This is the second time our large family of 19 stayed at the house. You can not beat the pool on the beautiful beach. The staff are absolutely amazing. They take care of you- it’s a true vacation. Two meals a day, no dish duty, a pitchers of margaritas brought to the pool side for the adults and pins colada for the kids. House has plenty of room and all the walls are thick so you don’t hear every noise. They help help arrange everything you need from transfers, in house massages, and excursions. It is just magical. Can’t wait to go back again. We also had a medical emergency with a family member when we were there. The staff helped get the ambulance and even rode with us to help translate. They truly take care of you and will be forever grateful to them."

"We love this hotel and have stayed here three times. We deeply regret their decision to become an all inclusive this Spring. Puerto Vallarta is a great place to go out to eat and enjoy the town, we are not interested in staying in the hotel all the time or paying for food we wont eat. I hope they reconsider this decision, we would return if they did."
