Stayed as family in Jan 2025 (kids 6 & 9) in a premuim pool acces room. Had a fantastic time at this stylish well appointed luxury resort with lush well maintained grounds. Good ratio of capacity to resort size. Never felt crowded even though near full occupancy. Pools were always clean but hot tub wasn't always hot for some reason. Staff were plentiful, happy and helpful.
Restaurant food quality and variety were excellent if pricey. Highly recommend including the amazing breakfest buffet in...

Absolutely loved this resort. Stayed here for a couple days for my bach party. Everything about this resort was perfect. If I were to nitpick about it, I'd say because the resort is so MASSIVE, the rooms on the far right leg of the resort is a bit far. But that doesn't lose any points! Still 10/10. Highly Highly recommend. Mucho gracias Barcelo!

This was our first ever experience in Mexico and we were blown away with the service level that seems to be the core culture at Grand Velas regardless of who you come across. Every single staff at Grand Velas make you feel like a royalty. You get treated with kids gloves every where you turn.

Clean facilities. Relatively modern. Very friendly staff. Anyone complaining about bad service is the problem themselves. No it’s not a high end luxury hotel but everything is as it should be. Beaches are quite nice, they maintain fairly well. Ofcourse a few rocky sections but plenty of clean soft white sand through the 5 resort chain. The food is acceptable, the nicer a-la-carte restaurants are better, the buffets are nothing to write home about but totally fine. Lots of selection. Facilities...

Property was nice, quiet and conveniently located downtown. Close to shopping and lots of local dining options. They have a great breakfast buffet each morning. But the best part was the staff; they were incredibly friendly and helpful!

Everything was great, except for the fact that the all inclusive package from Expedia did not include transportation to and from the airport to the resort. Last time we were there everything was taken care of in an A to Z fashion. This was an extreme inconvenience at the start of our vacation.

It is a very beautiful place with a great atmosphere right by the beach. You feel like you are in Jungle as soon as you walk into the hotel. We stayed at a garden view bungalow. It was a good size and very private. I wish we could stay longer.

This place is beautiful!! Room was clean, had all amenities needed and the a/c was heaven!! The only thing was the futon bed wasn’t the coziest to sleep on however the main bed was comfortable! As for the food it was good and fairly priced. Our favourite part of it was our concierge Fernando, he went above and beyond for us! he was knowledgeable, friendly and super helpful! Will definitely be back!

I’m so so glad we found Puerto Libre. We were only intending to stay for a night after a day of diving, but decided to extend our stay because we liked it there so much.
Why?
• New hotel
• Large rooms (at least the 2 we stayed in)
• All rooms have view of the water
• Infinity pool + great view of sunset
• Scooter rental available
• Good location (walk to ferry/everything)
• Best of all… THE AMAZING HOSPITALITY

We had a fantastic stay! It's a true oasis away from a very noisy street. They've done incredibly well in sound proofing with double sliding balcony doors cutting it out.
The decor is beautiful, the beds were so comfortable, the staff were beyond helpful and kind.
Only poor point was the very lacklustre included breakfast. It's white bread next to a toaster with packet butters and jams that have melted from the heat. There's also 3 cereals and some coffee. It's fine if you need your stomach to...

The location is close to the beach, shopping, restaurant and 5th avenue. It has a jungle vibe and you get to see animals visiting your balcony that you have not seen before. The staff are very attentive and welcoming.
