Really good Dining Experience

I enjoyed an really good dining experience at Barcelo Ixtapa! The buffet had a plethora of options from local to international cuisine, and I was especially impressed by the seafood and Italian nights. Each meal was delicious, and I discovered something new with every visit. The service was attentive and made every dining experience enjoyable!

Beautiful Ocean View Room

Staying in an ocean view room was one of the highlights of my trip! It was spacious, clean, and I loved having a large window to enjoy stunning sunsets. The mini-fridge was well-stocked every day, ensuring I had all my favorite drinks at my fingertips. The towel animals created by housekeeping added a good touch each day

Relaxing Beach Massages

One of my favorite experiences was getting a beach massage. The sound of the waves lapping at the shore while I relaxed in a hut was pure bliss. It was affordable, with a one-hour massage costing just $15-$20, and the therapist was skilled and made sure I was comfortable throughout. This was a perfect way to unwind after a day of activities!

Fun Evening Entertainment

The evening entertainment at Barcelo was a good surprise! I attended several shows during my stay, and they presented a variety of performances from local culture to music. One show featured an very nice live band that kept everyone dancing and entertained. It was a fantastic way to end the day after enjoying dinner!

I had a wonderful experience at this hotel with stunning views and lots of activities right by the beach, making it an ideal spot for families. The room was well-kept and comfortable, complete with a king-sized bed, but the dining options could use some improvement, especially in variety. I enjoyed the outdoor amenities and the proximity to the fishing spots and enticing beach. However, some premium services felt inconsistent, and I encountered a bit of attitude from some staff at the front desk, which dampened the otherwise lovely stay.
