Barceló Puerto Vallarta - All Inclusive

Barceló Puerto Vallarta - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent
"Great vacay at an awesome place. The staff very friendly and bent over backwards to help with anything we needed. Nice, relaxing and peaceful. Would definitely recommend. The only thing that we felt needed improvement were more items on the lunch menu in the little restaurant and it was kind of a bummer there were no snacks out at the pool area but that may be because of the iguanas and other animals that food might attract. Other than that, it was a great week of rest and relaxation!! The resort has everything! No need to leave!!"
