Barcelo La Jolla De Mismaloya Completes Renovations

Authentically Warm Hospitality and Characteristically Mexican Charm Distinguish Puerto Vallarta’s Favored All-inclusive Resort

February 08, 2010 - A longtime favorite for travelers seeking to explore lush, tropical scenery and the magical charm of Mexico’s Pacific Coast, the AAA Four Diamond, all-inclusive, all-suite Barceló La Jolla de Mismaloya has recently undergone a multi-million dollar renovation, further enhancing the guest experience.

Just completed in 2009, the project included full renovation of the resort’s 317 one- and two-bedroom suites, decorated in a soft-contemporary palette of neutral tones, accented with tropical colors. Each suite opens onto a large balcony with panoramic bay vistas or views of the peaceful, surrounding gardens. Guests can select the room that most meets their needs, from a family vacation in a spacious family suite to a romantic getaway in the fully-equipped grand master suite. And for love birds, few other locations could offer such an ideal backdrop for popping the big question, exchanging vows or escaping on a tropical honeymoon.

Additional renovations included an upgrade to the resort’s sparkling swimming pools and contemporary lounge as well as the addition of a new restaurant, Capri. The hotelier also invested in a comprehensive beach rejuvenation program, enhancing one of Puerto Vallarta’s most enchanting beach coves.

As one of the resort’s main draws, the beautiful Mismaloya Bay has drawn travelers from all over the globe, even Hollywood producers and celebrities. The bay served as the backdrop to blockbuster hits Night of the Iguana and Predator.

But the resort offers much more than a beautiful stretch of sand. Guests can enjoy an authentic, meaningful travel experience without even having to leave the property. Like other Barceló all-inclusive resorts, Barceló La Jolla de Mismaloya infuses the unique characteristics of Puerto Vallarta and Pacific Mexico into its architecture, style and amenities, offering a more authentic travel experience at an all-inclusive value that cannot be beat.

And once guests are inspired to journey into downtown Puerto Vallarta, the picturesque historic district is just minutes away, offering boutiques of locally made silver products, crafts and ceramics as well as extensive galleries of local Mexican artists. For guests with an interest in local wares, the hotel features several boutiques with a variety of Mexican items, including a fine jewelry store, where intricately designed silver pieces can be purchased.

Back at the resort, travelers can enjoy a variety of culinary treats and indulgences. The resort’s new Capri restaurant received the distinctive H Award, bestowed upon leading hotel restaurants by Mexico’s Tourism Ministry. This newest culinary offering adds authentic Italian cuisine to the assortment of international fine dining options available at the resort.

The all-inclusive offerings extend far beyond world-class dining. Guest can also enjoy unlimited use of non-motorized water sports on tranquil Mismaloya Bay; four outdoor swimming pools, complete with waterfalls, Jacuzzis and a children’s slide; an on-site shopping promenade; a state-of-the-art spa and fitness center; an adult-supervised kids’ club that includes seasonal activities such as snorkeling and whale tours; a pulsating nightclub; numerous bars and lounges; and a convention center with meeting facilities for groups of all sizes.
