Great Tropical Getaway

We were totally amazed when we arrived at the Barcelo resort the pictures did not capture the beautiful ambiance of this resort or the great hospitality! We loved the couples massage and our room with the separate living room and bedroom. We visited the lovely botanical gardens (just south of the resort), the quaint town of Bucerias (a few miles north of PV) and the zoo (about a 30 minute walk from the resort I wouldnt recommend walking there by yourself - like I did, but it depicts how the proverty-stricken live).

If you visit the zoo, please check on the four adorable, large tiger cubs (a couple of people on this site recommend this zoo). One of the workers asked if I wanted to see the tigers and he opened a padlocked totally enclosed plywood container (4x4x4). It was sad to see the young tigers in plywood container with no openings for the tigers to see out or ventilation. I sent the Puerto Vallarta Zoo officials an email asking if they would be willing to provide better conditions for these tigers and I only received a response that they received my message. Also, they have a faithful Mexican Hairless dog in a cage and I feel that dogs should not be on display with wild animals.
