Puerto Vallarta Hotel Guide. Barcelo Hotels in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco

Overall, this resort was nice and well kept. We stayed September 19-24. The room was very spacious and resort grounds were pretty and clean. There is only one bar on sight after the pool bar closes, which is a downside if you like variety. The drinks were good and I think overall the food was alright as well. It's hit and miss when you are dining at a buffet every night, but I found something every night that was good. We ate at Los Arcos and Don Quoite which are specialty restaurants. They were very good! Three nights in a row the nightly entertainment was a dancing show. It was good, but got a little boring, so we left early. The daily entertainment/activities were fun though and the team there did a great job of getting people involved. The resort is about 25 minutes from Puerto Vallarta (45 from airport) and cab is pretty cheap to go into town if you wish to explore. I wouldn't suggest exploring at night if you are in a group of two. The weather was perfect and we only had one afternoon where it rained a little. Not bad! The pools were very nice and were not crowded at all (we did go off season though). I would suggest this resort, especially for the price. Just know there is not a lot of variety when it comes to bars/restaurants.
