While visiting McAllen TX, we had the pleasure of staying at a tropical oasis, Casa de Palmas. The hotel reminded me of a tropical oasis with the palm trees, fountains, and Spanish architecture. Overall, we enjoyed the wonderful service, how close it was to everything, and the shuttle that was available for our use.

Our Stay
The entrance is so romantic with beautiful fountains tucked away within these hanging trees. At night everything was lit up for an even more beautiful display. The hotel’s charming Spanish architecture and lush tropical grounds create a serene oasis, making it a standout destination in the Rio Grande Valley.
The check-in process is smooth, with check-in starting at 3 PM and check-out by 11 AM. Guests are required to present a valid photo ID and credit card, and special requests or deposits can be handled during check-in.
Casa De Palmas – The Rooms
We opted for a room on the top floor with a balcony view of the pool. I loved how spacious it was with plenty of storage (I’m not exactly the best at packing light) and the large windows for plenty of natural light. The room featured a comfortable king-sized bed, elegant decor, and special amenities like a flat-screen TV and complimentary Wi-Fi.
Plus, when a hotel comes with a bath and some fun wallpaper, I’m always happy. The room also included convenient facilities such as a mini-fridge, coffee maker, and a safe for valuables.
Dining at Casa De Palmas
While staying at Casa De Palmas in McAllen, we had the chance to dine in the Spanish room. I love the mixture of foods for a casual lunch or a nice sit-down dinner. On the weekends they have a breakfast buffet as part of your stay, and on the weekdays they provide eggs, bacon, hash browns, and toast to get your day started. They also offer a variety of food options, including vegetarian and gluten-free choices, ensuring all dietary needs are met.
For lunch they have delicious nachos covered in beef, cheese, jalapenos, and fresh avocado that I could not stop eating. The pineapple, turkey, brie, and cranberry chipotle croissant was just the light bite I needed in the middle of the day. Additionally, you can enjoy your meal on the patio, which offers a pleasant atmosphere and lovely views.
And for dinner they have some great steak and pasta dishes!
