Jan 25, 2026Good and not so Good
Too small hotel for us. Only 3 al a carte restaurants and seafood was not even open. The Hot Buffet food was often cold at lunch and dinner. Lounge chairs are reserved but many times no one came all day to claim them. That should be monitored. The rooms were clean, but you had to tip the maid her to come earlier in the day or you wait till 4pm or later. We had light bulb issued that was notified front desk but NO one ever came to replace in our 10 days stay. Definitely a lot of older clients. Average age was 75+. Very few families and younger people. We love Huatulco with the weather being consistently sunny every day, but will not be back to Barcelo.

Jan 25, 2026Third time's a charm
This was our 3rd time at the Barcelo. We went with my extended family and our group ranged from 17-80. All of us enjoyed our experience at the hotel. The food has improved over the past 3 years and the buffet has more options. We would eat at the restaurant by the beach for breakfast and lunch. The waiters/waitresses were very friendly. Herlin and Alma were especially helpful. We went to the Italian and Sushi a la cartes, the waiters were great in both restaurants and our entire group enjoyed the experience. Angel and Xemina at the front desk were very helpful in arranging our a la cartes with our large group. We appreciated the coffee machines at the lobby. It was easy to grab a coffee early in the morning and on our way to our room after a day at the beach. The service around the pool was fantastic. Fernando helped our group with suggestions for new drinks and we tried many new drinks as a result of his suggestions. We never had trouble getting loungers throughout the week. The activity pool entrance was blocked the whole week with loungers which made it difficult for one of our group to get in the pool as the railing always had loungers in front of it. The resort had the loungers laid out this way all week so it did make the pool less accessible for our group. The resort is very clean and we always saw workers cleaning, even the big chess set by the pool was cleaned every day. The rooms are nice with beautiful views. We upgraded to premium and our room was beachfront with a gorgeous view. The arcade room is a lot of fun. The tokens are a bit pricey and you have to buy them from the gift shop and not in the actual arcade room. We went to several evening shows. The singers and dancers are great performers. The costumes are beautiful The shows are mostly in Spanish so English speaking tourists may struggle a bit. Elevators were broken throughout the week which made it a bit less accessible for one of our group who uses a cane and walker. From other reviews it looks like the elevators have been broken for a fair amount of time. The only other negative was that the front desk was reluctant to exchange any denomination of pesos for 20 pesos. We'd see the front desk staff with a stack of 20s and then when members of our group would ask to exchange a larger bill for 20s they would say they did not have any 20s. This happened several times during the week. Overall it's a great resort and we would return for a 4th visit.

Good resort, Food is plentiful but not great, entertainment staff are wonderful
This was a good time for us as a family. But know that the food is average at best. Lots of variety, but not really good. I would recommend the Mexican restaurant and make sure you book your à la carte dinners on the first day or you will not get all of them in. Housekeeping was great, but bottled water in the room was limited unless you asked. Event staff were the highlight of our stay and were very engaging with many different activities in day. Hard to get service in the buffet resaurants. They work hard but we rarely got service. Pool bar service is a waste of time. Just go ask up at the bar and ensure you have a tip. The photographers were totally worth it, we got great family photos from this.

The Barcelo Hotel and the Barcelo team give their guests a true Mexican erperience. I highly recommend this hotel. If you want to visit Mexico and enjoy the wonderful experience of being in Mexico and all that Mexico has to offer then this is the place to stay.

We’ll be back if you can fix one thing
It’s a shame that with such an overall memorable vacation at Barcelo we should have such a nagging shadow: lack of available loungers due to guests “reserving” multiple loungers with a towel. Hotel says it’s against the rules but does nothing to enforce. A problem not unique to Barcelo but I would be eager to choose it again if I did not have to set my alarm for 5 am on a “vacation” to ensure my wife and I had a place to sit near the ocean or pool during the day.
