My family and I just returned from our vacation to Puerto Vallarta and the Barcelo La Jolla De Mismaloya that we booked on American Express.

My friends and I arrived on a Sunday afternoon with a glass of Asti and helpful attendants. When i got to the front desk I made sure that we were going to have an oceanview room and was told it was a partial view.

I thought the hotel as a whole was great. Upon arrival, my friend and I were greeted with a glass of champagne while waiting to check in. Be sure to book a room in the "new building" as it is well worth your money. The room itself was very clean. There was a separate sitting area with a huge flat... more

We arrived at the Resort the week of 7/13 -7/20. Me and my husband were alittle afraid after we read all the reviews, so we decided to have an opened mind.
