Barceló Puerto Vallarta - All Inclusive
Building is very outdated with poor craftsmanship. Location beautiful and staff were kind. Food was not good especially at the buffet. Will not return.

We love our stay at Costa Sur. The balcony over the water, friendly staff and beautiful breakfast every day. My daughter had fun in the pool playing volleyball and ping pong. We would definitely stay again.
