Celebrate National Tequila Day Year-Round With Barcelo

WHY IT RATES: Barcelo is right! Why wait for a once-a-year holiday to celebrate Tequila?!? – Rich Thomaselli, TravelPulse Senior Editor

National Tequila Day is July 24, 2017 – and there’s no better place to get into the “spirit” than at Barceló Hotel Groups’ spectacular all-inclusive resorts in Latin America.

Can’t make it then?

Don’t worry. These resorts celebrate tequila all year long.

Royal Hideaway Playacar’s Tequilaria
Royal Hideaway Playacar’s new Tequilaria is a beautiful space dedicated to tequila in all its forms. Offering both classic and more esoteric selections, the Tequilaria also includes a program of tequila produced by small, micro producers. For those who want to dive deeper, this adults-only, all-inclusive resort hosts a daily Tequila Master Class that on the history of the spirit, including samples from each of the major types of Tequila—Blanco, Reposado and Añejo.

The Coco Loco
No visit to the Dominican Republic is complete without trying the Coco Loco, one of the country’s signature drinks. This powerfully refreshing Caribbean cocktail is a delicious blend of vodka, lime juice, white brugal, ice, coconut milk and, of course, tequila. Enjoy one poolside at one of Barcelo Hotel Group’s Dominican Republic resorts—including the 24-hour all-inclusive Barceló Bávaro Beach adults-only, Barceló Santo Domingo and the all-inclusive Occidental Caribe—after a day of fun in the sun.

Barceló Tambor’s Tequila Sunrise
The classic tequila sunrise cocktail—tequila, orange juice and grenadine syrup—tastes even better accompanied by a Costa Rican sunset, as viewed from Barceló Tambor’s Ron Ron Pool Bar. The all-inclusive resort is located on Tambor Beach, one of Costa Rica’s most beloved stretches of sand. It’s the ultimate spot to toast another perfect Barceló day coming to an end.

Barceló Puerto Vallarta
Your tequila experience gets started immediately at the all-suite, all-inclusive Barceló Puerto Vallarta. Premium Level guests will find a bottle of tequila in their rooms upon check-in, along with a selection of tasty petit fours. For those wanting a crash course in the world of tequila, Vallarta Tequila Tastings (just minutes from the resort) offers fun and educational tequila courses for all levels of knowledge.

Barceló Huatulco
There’s a local saying in the State of Oaxaca, where the all-inclusive Barceló Huatulco resort is located: "For everything bad, mezcal. For everything good, mezcal." (Tequila, is of course, a type of mezcal). Premium Level guests will find a bottle of mezcal waiting for them in their room upon arrival, the perfect beginning to your Oaxaca getaway.
