I had a great time at Barcelo Puerto Vallarta. The resort is truly beautiful, surrounded by lush mountains and with stunning views. The buffet offered a wide variety of food options, but some restaurant experiences felt a bit underwhelming. While the beach was nice, it wasn’t my favorite, and I recommend bringing bug spray due to the local insect population.

The pools were lovely and fun to enjoy. Though, food service was not offered by the poolside, which was a slight drawback.

My stay at Barcelo Puerto Vallarta was a beautiful experience, from the stunning views to the fantastic staff. I loved my spacious corner room with the ocean view (perfect for morning yoga!), but the check-in process was a frustrating start. Despite that hiccup, the warmth and dedication of the staff truly made my time nice.
