Leading all-inclusive hotelier Barceló Hotels & Resorts recognizes that for many of today’s travelers, value has become top of mind.

But vacationers still look for luxurious and memorable experiences, even though travel dollars may be more limited than ever before. For these guests, Barceló’s Palace Deluxe resorts are the ideal choice, offering sweeping, oceanfront vistas; spacious, all-suite accommodations; and delectable, a la carte dining experiences in some of Mexico and the Caribbean’s most sought-after destinations, including Punta Cana, Riviera Maya, Manzanillo and soon Los Cabos.

Most of Barceló’s Palace Deluxe resorts are newly constructed or recently renovated, providing modern luxuries like rain dance-style showers and in-room motion sensors to assure guest privacy. For traveling families, many of these properties offer specialized services and facilities, such as on-site, kids-only water parks; adult-supervised kids’ clubs; and family rooms, which offer two separated areas uniquely designed for kids and parents while allowing for up to six guests to gather under one roof. The luxuriously appointed, adults’ area includes a king-sized bed, a twin-sized sofa bed and an additional private room with terrace. The kids’ area, meanwhile, offers two full-sized beds as well as their own private terrace.
