    Second time as good as the first!

    On our second visit, the Barcelo did not disappoint. Fernando at the pool was awesome - super friendly and always watching for empty drinks - made suggestions when we didn’t know what to have! We only did the Italian al la carte but it was amazing. We always found food at the buffet to eat. It is a nice small resort which we love. Good snorkelling right off the beach at the rock or walk down the beach last Dreams to the end of the bay. We only have done the premium package and this time we were ocean front with a jacuzzi tub, lounge chairs and a hammock. Go across the street and to the right, on the corner is Don Porfirio for the best Cesar salad made right at your table as well as the Shrimp Mezcal!

    Home away from home

    What can I say?! Another incredible trip made better by the amazing staff. I have forgotten the names of most of the people I specifically wanted to thank, but.... Jose Ma. Careless was incredibly helpful when our oldest daughter wanted to fly down for Christmas. He helped secure her a room by herself for 2 nights and then a third night added to our room. The room is amazing. The food?? Ridiculously good!!! The shows?? Spectacular! The scenery?? Wow!! You have to see it! But... The very best thing about not only this resort but all of Huatulco? The amazing people. The friendliness is second to none. If you go off the tourist path at all and show ANY interest in learning about them and their culture, they bend over backward for you. People we had literally just met invited us into their homes to eat. Sharing stories and the history of this AMAZING place! I learned the hard way that if they invited me in, it was insulting when I offered them any kind of compensation for their hospitality. I recommend everyone visit this place at least once. You WILL fall in love. Thank you, Jose, and specifically, one other lady at the front desk. I'm sorry I don't remember your name, but thank you for all your help! Still have another 9 days, but I already can't wait to come back again! Thank you all for an amazing experience once again!!

    Comfort and Beauty With Smiles

    For the third year in a row we loved Barcelo. Service with a smile and genuine friendship are a staple at this hotel, we love the size and location of the Hotel it is optimal for us, cleanliness throughout is ongoing .we are frequent swimmers, Tomas the dedicated young man that keeps the pools in pristine condition must be commended. The Life Guards that keep children out of the adult pool are very observant and enforce the no children policy. Service around the beach and pool area is a friendly experience with efficiency. Fernando and Carlos Catatlan along with Marcial Maya are fantastic and upbeat every day. The Tortuga Restaurant, available for breakfast and lunch is a scenic venue, views of Tangolunda Bay. You are greeted with a warm smile from Gabriela, Luz and Adriana, the waiters, Fransisco, Luis , Tomas, Carlos, Adan do a amazing job and always with a warm greeting and smile. The Agave Mexican Ala carte is a place we visit frequently and love the level of service from Victor and others. Fontana the Italian Ala carte is a beautiful restaurant with a piano player to add to the experience. The menu has a great selection of items. Best steaks in Mexico. We always sit near the ocean wall near the entertainment team. Contrary to other reviews the music isn’t overwhelming , Alberto the supervisor is very outgoing and friendly as is Abraham and the rest of the crew. The Lobby has a very talented house band with fantastic vocals, joined by a very good female and male vocalist. People dance on occasion ( M & M ) you deserved 10 for every dance. Servers Lydia and Canterina are apleasure each and every evening. The Premium Lounge is a very pleasant place to get a drink , Victor and Eduardo mix great drinks with the Barcelo Huatulco smile and friendly attitude. Xemena and Kady are extremely focused on enhancing the resort experience , starting at check in and sadly at check out. Monika from guest services with her ever present can I help you smile is a gem. The Christmas Tree lighting party was amazing, dancers and Mariachis, house band many happy excited children Samuel the bellman books taxis and is a wealth of information. This hotel is very fortunate to have Sub Director Esau Navarrete and Food and Beverage Manager Etanislado Valdovinos lead the customer service focused team at Barcelo Huatulco. We are returning in Nov/Dec 2025

    Great facility, questionable food setvices

    The staff are amazing! Freindly and accomodating. Our room is great, it's been updated and well maintained. The buffets (especially the breakfast one in the main building) are dissapinting only due to the lack of temperature control on the food. The resort does not seem to want to heat the chafing trays,so everything that is served buffet style is colder than room temperature. Very dissapointing. Our experience at the Mexican Ela cart restaurant wasn't that great either, we've never felt so rushed through a meal anywhere before.

    The best staff! Clean. Nice beach. Amazing house band and singers!

    The staff are the best we've encountered at any all-inclusive. Seriously, every one of them! The house band (can't remember all their names) and singers (Diana, Martin and Adam) are amazing! They entertain guests before, during, and after the shows. We will miss them most! The dancers were also very good. Missed Bruno's dancing week two and his triple pirouettes. But they were all great! Our lobby server, Lidia, would welcome us each evening with her warmth and our favorite drink. The beach is beautiful and very swimmable! The sand is so nice. No rocks! Clear water, which I didn't expect on the Pacific side. Abraham and the daytime entertainment team worked hard to get guests involved and enjoy themselves, by the pool, with the beach activities, kayaking, etc. Food was good. Small buffet and I'm vegetarian but I still always found something yummy to eat. Drinks were average but plentiful. They have Disaronno in the lobby! Mmm... Alberto, the host of the evening shows, took the time to video my husband and I dancing and sent it to me. I can't say enough how amazing the staff is here. They take time to get to know guests and treated us so special. Including management. The location is excellent. Quick 15 - 20 minute ride from the beautiful little airport. Also, just a quick, inexpensive cab ride into Santa Cruz or La Crucecita. Both are worth visiting. The people in this area are just so kind. Our room was super clean and just perfect. Everything worked well. We didn't pay extra for premium and didn't feel like we missed out on anything. The resort, in general, was super clean and well kept. Maintenance was always working on something. Trimming hedges, painting, watering plants.. Oh, and the Christmas tree lighting celebration! That was so nice! Hot chocolate and cookies being served, singers and dancers performing Christmas carols. It was really special. We would love to return to Barceló Huatulco!
