Vacations Close To Quimixto Beach

It was important that we had a balcony. And the management took it upon themselves too allow my daughter and I to sign a release. And it was so wonderful we enjoyed our room at 413. The beds were very comfortable in the shower had a lot of pressure and the view was amazing pool and ocean. The staff in the restaurant were fantastic.

The butler service was above and beyond expectations. We could text him with ant questions, requests, dinner reservations, ect and was super responsive. This place has every detail really thoughtfully executed. Stunning rooms, excellent food, strong drinks, and the most beautiful pools. Our son was obsessed with the kids club. All the ladies that work there were so engaging with our son. He loved them all and could tell they cared about his stay as well.

Barcelo is a beautiful property outside of Puerto Vallarta. It has something for everyone! The staff take great care in their work. So many friendly people who were always there to help. The buffet food was really good and we always found things to eat. The swim up bar was perfect and so much fun! The spa was so relaxing and so peaceful. We were able to watch football and baseball playoffs in the Cantina with a fun crowd. The staff went out of their way to turn a rainy day into fun activities. We are already planning on going back next year!

Beautiful stay

Excellent

Rooms are beautiful wow.

Customer facing staff (servers, concierge) were outstanding. Kudos to Leonardo, Ulyses, Omar, Alex and Alfredo. Back office staff (room staff, admin) not quite so good. We only got nightly turn down service about 50% of the time and our welcome letter was addressed to someone else. Emilianos restaurant was disappointing. The main room was closed and we were shunted into a spare room, square with white walls, little decoration and no entertainment - the atmosphere was terrible. We dined on the patio a second evening, and it appears they had a static menu as we could spot no differences from our first visit. To cap it all, the food was overcooked. Fortunately, the hotel offers complementary dining at its sister locations. Tau, on the beach, was our savior. The service was excellent both during the day and at night, and the food outstanding. Their menu varied night to night, they had an excellent singer providing entertainment, and the open air ambiance completed the experience. Well done to Leslie and her staff of Saul, Isaac, Antonio, Enrique and Erick. We also went to the Andrea restaurant in Velas Vallarta, but after being served by a disinterested water in a room of screaming children running around we vowed to never go back. Finally we went to Grand Velas and dined in their Piaf restaurant. It was the culinary highlight of our trip. Overall, though, we had a very pleasant experience at Casa Velas. Would we go back there? The jury is still out on this.
