I typically am the type of person that likes culture, adventure and winging it when it comes to traveling; but if you are looking for an all inclusive safe resort then Barcelo' at Montelimar Beach is for you.

 

They have a massive set up of interior style accommodations to private cabana cottages to stay in. 

 

Everything is centrally located and right on the beach. They have 3 pools, one of which they claim to be the largest in Central America.

 

They also have 2 tennis courts, table tennis, giant Chess, mini-golf, volleyball and beach volleyball, basketball, softball. football, soccer and a petting zoo

. 
You can also go horse back riding, rent surf boards or boogie boards. Don't know how to surf? They have classes for that!

 

They have a nightclub, casino, family show entertainment and pool side games and productions. 

 

You can also rent bikes, join yoga class on the beach, get a massage, spend the day at the spa or hit the gym. 

 

You need it, they basically have it! Even day care for your kids.  

 

They have a buffet style dinning area. The food was just ok for me. Not bad, but nothing to write home about. It is more of a cultural buffet with native dishes. The seafood gumbo was on point though! 

 

The poolside cabana has snacks and drinks. Very Americanized food options here. Burgers, fries, hotdogs and popcorn, 

 

The internet is basically the most expensive internet in the world. $12 per day. It is only available in some areas on the resort and it's a weak signal. I was disappointed in the overcharge and under delivery. 

 

The overall rooms and grounds are very well kept and meet all expectations. You will see a lot of security walking around with riffles of some sort. Don't be alarmed. That's very standard for anywhere around here. Trust me, you want them there! Overall, The staff is great and very accommodating! 

 

Bercelo' offers all inclusive day passes ranging from $45-$60 US dollars, depending on the capacity and season. 

 

Overnight stays also vary seasonally and are always changing. If the website say's they are booked, don't go by that, it is not reliable. Give them a call and typically they will find a way to accommodate you.
