mexico vacation
Hi all
Booking a family trip soon. Been to Mexico 6 times and we do like the all inclusive. Asking if anyone has been to Barchelo in PV? likes dislike Thanks |
ive been, nice resort.
personally i like nuevo or bucerias better. PV is too commercial for me. if it was me id look at something like this, https://www.vrbo.com/9759 book a cook/bartender a few days for next to nothing and be on your own for a few days. |
Barcello PV
We were there in January last year. I would go back. It is one of the original resorts so dates to about 30 years ago but is very clean and well maintained.
Beach was a little small and too rough to swim but several pools were great. Resort is actually gated and about 10 km from Town of PV but a couple times we caught the local bus outside the resort for $1. USD and went into town to sightsee and shop. I would have no issues going back this year but girls decided they wanted something with more beach so we are going to Barcello in Cabo this year. |
Not to derail but I agree on the VRBO. Depending on when and length of stay they are the best option IMO. But your groceries at the Mega between PV and Bucerias. Or head to Costco. I’d avoid Sayita. Way, way too busy and research the sewage problems they are having due to all the people.

Thanks all.
I also like Nuevo. Wife likes the inclusive!!! I do...... but need things to do. I take my paddleboard. The Barchelo in Cabo is nice. I stayed at the resort next to it. Can't use the beach as riptide in brutal. |
We were in PV during Christmas, we don't do all inclusive just stayed at a small hotel down town. we did walk the beach along the resorts, you will be disappointed at the beaches as they are all very small and lots of rocks and gravel not nice sandy beach. Another suggestion is Ricon de Guayabitos huge beach lots beach bars very safe in town very authentic and there are some nice resorts there as well.

My favorite, excellent for a family. Eco oriented, lots of wildlife on site, programs for kids.

And get food poisoning from the dessert buffet-like we did But otherwise awesome |
no straws for drinks, and found it smelled like a weird sewer smell all over, otherwise we liked it and the kids loved all the water slides.

We stayed at the Barcelo this time of year last year. It is a nice resort. It isn’t in PV, it is south of town, by itself....private. It isn’t a giant resort like you’d see in Nuevo or the Mayan but it’s nice, clean, and has excellent food. Drinks are good too, swim up bar etc. it is in a “U” shaped bay surrounded by jungle, the setting is nice. As someone else mentioned it is a short and cheap bus ride into PV.
There is stuff to see and do south of PV, so being down that way is beneficial. The botanical gardens are worth the trip just for the restaurant, it is fantastic. Also the zoo is across the street (walking distance). I’ve described it as 50% on of the best zoos I’ve been too (I’ve been to a lot!!) and 50 % one of the worst lol.. At night there is nothing close so if you don’t want to spend the evening at the resort you will have to take the bus (or cab) into PV. |

I generally prefer resorts that are outside the main town, and they tend to be cheaper. Riu Jalisco would be a nice place to take your kids. |
Meh, I dont care. I want one for my pina coldas. I also burn lots of plastic at home trying to warm this damn world up but that's another topic.

All told, I'd gladly take the kids back there when they're a bit older (were 3 and 1 when we went) and it's not such a pain getting a 1 yr old around and planning around naps, etc. |

Actually heading there tomorrow :sHa_shakeshout: |
The Japanese restaurant was good the kids liked it. And I liked the meat restaurant where they kept coming with all the meat to your table. Over all it was a good place.

For anyone flying out of Edmonton. The crystal star inn is $99 and includes a night stay and a week of parking. Most of the rest are $120 or more.

And as great as Hawaii sounds some people get nervous when on Tsunami alert.

Sandos carocol is really nice, as were sandos members we like playacar a little better, headed there mar 7...

We spent the second week of January in Haultuco. Stayed at the Isla Natura all inclusive. The resort wasn’t the greatest, the food sucked and I spent half of it sick in the room. I’ve never had an issue going to Hawaii.
