Guests who stayed here loved
Maria
United States“The hotel was wonderful. The food was quite good. I enjoyed the piano player who entertained us in the evening. The wife enjoyed the massage and the pool.”
Linda United States“The staff, the property, the facilities are wonderful. The breakfast buffet, while not as abundant as in the past, is just fine. The big weakness of the Barcelo Palacios are the restaurants— the rancho at the pool is good but won’t take a food...”- CCarmen United States“Had to request towels for the room. Not enough were in the room I paid for the food package but will not in the future bc the food at the buffet was not to my liking.”
Mackenzie United States“Such an incredible deal. This hotel felt beyond what we’d typically book in the grandness of the place. The suite rooms were so much more than we thought we were getting. The bed wildly comfortable. Staff were helpful and very friendly!”
Carmen
Canada“Check in was very slow, in fact at first they told us we only had 1 room reserved rather than 3! Had to push back to get them to thoroughly check to then find the correct number of rooms. Also dinner buffet was lacking taste and variety! Don’t...”- Megan United States“Nice, clean, and comfortable place. Lots of traffic noise since its close to freeway. Staff not very helpful or friendly. Weekend prices way too high.”
Anne Canada“Hotel is spotless; great pool; variety of restaurants; staff extremely accommodating; great value for money”- Cindy United States“We were put in a suite. What a lovely surprise! It was huge. Very clean and comfortable”
