disappointing Not very clean and some of the staff members where not the most helpful.

Date of Stay: December, 2008

Excellent hotel, hope to go back with you if the price is the same next Christmas. Staff friendly & helpful. Gave us info on how to contact the travelocity agent for the ride back to the airport. We went to the hotel where your rep. was the day before leaving, The hotel personnel gave them a call when they weren't there to pick us up. Finally a cab arrived to take us to the airport. We were wondering if this was just a oversight. Thank you

We booked a last minute trip 2 days before, so I guess we did okay considering it was so quickly booked. Let me break down the key points: Hotel grounds, lobby, facilities: "B". As you enter hotel, all appears to be resort like & nice. But actually it is a little dated. There is no air conditioning in lobby (or any other parts of hotel).Front & rear of lobby is very open and air flows thru it. The weather was great, so no need for air conditioner in lobby/enterence area. But you still get the muggy/humid mexican air feel. Check-in: "A". No problems or issues. Rooms: "C" at best!! Very dissapointed with decor, style & oldness of room. Air conditioner did not work and room had that muggy/humid/moldy feel to it. Our trip was not cheap, so we decided to get over it & enjoy our last minute vacation. Food: "B-". Not bad for all inclusive. Always able to find food to eat somewhere. Drinks were great. Room service was nice too, I think there was a fee for this, but worth it when kids are starving after long day trip. Pools: "A". Well heated & cleaned every night. Lounge chairs were a problem. We were there on spring break & chairs were always taken early (7 A.M.) & hard to reserve. Who wants to get up that early!? Kids pool was a little small since such busy week. Kids can use other pools, but kids pool has kiddie slide & much shallower. Service: "A". Never had any problems/issues. Tipped a lot. 1 will go a long way!! Entertainment: "B". Kids loved it (6/4). Some nights were better than others. Same dancers every night. Food selection during show is good & of course, all u can drink again

The hotel itself was really good but, there is two levels of all inclusive there. Orbitz doesn't offer the better of the two. The hotel charges $30 a day person but, it wasn't worth the money. The bad was if you want to go there when it's nice and quiet there don't go the weeks before and after easter. The beach and town is way to busy with vacationing Mexicans from other states and citys. The beach was packed and the garbage was left on the beach and water was dirty because of them not caring about anything but themselves.

We loved the hotel! They had very helpful staff; the rooms were nice; the food was good. We loved the swim up bar and the beach and view. Would not pay for transfers again - the provider was a no show. Great value!

The food and drinks were horrible. I have been to many all-inclusive hotels and this was by far the worst - I won't return.

We thought the Barcelo Ixtapa Beach Resort was a very nice place. Only complaint we had was the food buffets get stale real fast. The Jamaican all inclusive food we have had blows away the Mexican all inclusive food. The Barcelo is just across the street from some wonderful places to eat so next time we wont be doing the all inclusive. The little vilgae of Zihautannejo is another nice place for food and beer. I think it was a $6 cab ride over and if you are in Xtapa, go see this little fishing village. You can get a table on the beach and $1 beer.

The staff was friendly, I think is way overpriced for the quality and the size of the room. Check in time is 1:00PM, I think you should be to check in after 10:00AM, especially when you have children. AC was aweful bathroom way too small. I'm not sure if i want to go back, or even recommend it.

My husband and I visted in April 2007. We were there with about 130 others from his company. Staff very helpful and willing to please. Hotel in hotel district. You can actually walk to the open air market across the street and still feel safe. Take the horse and buggy ride. It was nice. We will go back as soon as we can!

when we arrived and have the first look , we thogh its going to be fun , we were right. even do the change to a different room in the middle of our vacation was not fun , but we enjoy our staid in the hotel. the food was good , but it should have more to choose from . at the end we had a vacacion of a life time

	Date of Stay: July, 2007
compared with the other hotels in the same beach, i think that this one is the best you can get. perfect for families with kids. very well located

	Date of Stay: July, 2007
everything was fine, except for the beds and pillows, not very comfy.

Date of Stay: November, 2006

"we had a wonderful time, lots of families and children which was good for us, we are grandparents and loved playing in the pool with the kids. Take a cab wherever you want to go even tours they charge approx. 18-20 per hour. Cabs are the best to and from hotel as well. about 15-20 US. Very safe,beautiful, excellent service. Front Desk speaks very little English but they are more than willing to help and you do get your point accoss. Loved the trip"
