Barceló Los Cabos Palace Deluxe to Open on Dec. 15

Barceló Hotels & Resorts will open the Barceló Los Cabos Palace Deluxe on Dec. 15, 2009. Nestled on one of the widest stretches of beach in the destination at 650 feet wide and half of a mile in length, this all-inclusive, all-suite resort on the Sea of Cortez and nearby to San José del Cabo, Mexico, will be composed of three towers of 626 suites, including 34 swim-up suites, the first and only swim-up suites for both the hotelier and the destination.

Designed in the California hacienda style, blended with stylish, modern luxuries, the resort will feature only the finest in-suite amenities, including 400 thread-count Egyptian cotton sheets, rain dance-style showers, jetted bathtubs and the latest in in-room technology, including dual CPUs for guest interface with smart TV, controlling room climate, room service requests, opening/closing draperies, Internet access and direct phone.

Guests will be able to choose from a variety of culinary choices, thanks to the resort’s seven on-site restaurants, including both casual and gourmet dining establishments. The Mexican and international buffets as well as a snack grill at the adults-only pool will please the more casual crowd.

Five specialty, a la carte restaurants will offer the finest dishes in Spanish, Italian, French and Japanese cuisine as well as mouth-watering steaks. The Spanish-themed restaurant, El Cortijo, will reflect the elegance of the traditional art of bullfighting. The unique decor will provide an authentic environment in which guests can enjoy a savory Spanish meal.

For a taste of the Orient, Lotus, the Japanese restaurant, will serve as an oasis of tranquility, offering five unique atmospheres: Tatami tables, a sushi bar, Tepanyaki tables, private cabins and a dessert table. An Italian restaurant, Capri, will recall the works of Botticelli with close-ups of his main masterpieces on the walls, and a French restaurant, Bon Vivant, will boast a design based on the architecture of Gae Aulenti in Paris. Both are sure to offer classical sophistication and a satisfying dining experience.

Finally, the resort’s steak house, Hacienda, will specialize in flavorful, mouthwatering steaks. In addition to offering a colorful array of dining options, the resort will also feature more than 50,000 square feet of sparkling pools, including a children-only water park, pool animation, volleyball nets, Jacuzzis, in-water hammocks, water cannons and an exclusive pool lounge.
