Houseboats in Puerto Vallarta

"Love the old vallarata charm and the view is absolutely incredible. At first i was hoping there was air conditioning, but just that little change in elevation makes it perfect, plus having a corner room gives you a view over the city to the north. "

"Magnífico es un hotel que atienden muy bien "

"We had a great 7 night stay at Barcelo in November 2025. Our group of 10 were split into both towers. The standard rooms were larger than we expected and the family suite had two rooms and two bathrooms. We enjoyed the restaurants, but almost preferred the buffet as the options changed daily. The beach was small but beautiful and welcoming. There was so much shade covering the pool which was great for our group as none of us burnt! The staff was probably the best part of the trip! Cesar in the Premium lounge was so welcoming and helpful in whatever we needed (including our daily Spanish lessons), the entire entertainment staff at the pool and evening shows (especially Fernando) kept our group busy, and Gerardo at the pool bar made sure we had a good time! We met some friends from places near and far. The resort is small enough that you feel safe and recognize people throughout your stay. We will be back and can’t wait to see the staff again! <3"

"Wonderful staff, beautiful resort, great pools, fantastic restaurants . . . "

"Very romantic hotel we went to as a family but I didn't know that. The location was wonderful, resort was unique, clean, staff were helpful and kind and the food was really impressive and good. We only walked through the nearby town on our way to the shoreline hike so no comments on that. Hike is a challenge if you don't have good footwear but we made it to the first beach and took a boat back. Their pool area is stunning and the grounds are very well thought out with lots of privacy. We were all happy with the hotel!"

"Beautiful location, room, facilities, staff were top of the line helpful and friendly. "

"The staff was wonderful and always attentive. Our room was clean, well kept, and did not disappoint. Would highly recommend and plan on returning again some day. Loved every part of this experience with Garza Blanca! "
