Our stay was wonderful, such a blessing, thank you. The property is gorgeous and perfectly located. Our room was spotless, well stocked with amenities and the beds and pillows were super comfortable. The service went way above and beyond - our grateful thanks to Andy, Adan and Jesse - they couldn’t have been more attentive or accommodating. We will definitely be back! Highly recommended!!

The company that I work for held its annual Christmas party here at La Palmillia, Glen Rose, a beautiful southwest style hotel, and wedding venue, and the entire experience was absolutely beautiful from start to finish. The property has a pristine blend of rustic western charm and modern comfort— cozy high quality linens, interior design impeccable, white villas, warm Adobe colors, beautifully landscaped grounds, and that unmistakable Southwest atmosphere that makes you feel relaxed the moment that you arrive. The event space was stunning and perfectly suited for a large gathering. The staff went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly, from set up to service for hours to come. The food was excellent, the ambience inviting, cleanliness was top priority from the Catina to the bathroom in our room, and every detail made us feel that all was carefully thought out. Truly fantastic experience that we definitely want to bring our family with us to experience it again— next time at an even longer stay. Whether you are hosting an event, attending a wedding or just looking for a stunning place to unwind, this venue truly delivers. We highly recommend!

​We recently had a two-night stay at La Palmilla with my two young boys and our dog. The staff was fantastic, moving us to a pet-friendly room near the parking before we arrived. ​The property is beautiful, feeling like a little Spanish town with a chapel and central court. Our room was clean and rustic, and we enjoyed the pool, jacuzzi, pickleball court, and complimentary breakfast. ​ At first, the property felt eerily secluded upon arrival. My main concern was the room's security: the door only had a handle lock, with no deadbolt. As a mom with two kids, I felt unsafe. But after the second day, I felt better as there was a wedding party with many people. The wedding was beautiful and this is the perfect place for a wedding!

A Perfect Stay – Beyond Expectations! From the moment we stepped into this villa, we knew it was going to be a stay like no other. The quality of the property is simply top-notch in every way. The interiors are not only beautifully designed but also thoughtfully furnished with luxurious touches that made us feel like we were in a five-star resort. Every room is immaculate, with pristine cleanliness that is so often overlooked but was definitely not here. The housekeeping team does an incredible job keeping everything spotless, ensuring we had a fresh, clean environment to relax in throughout our stay. The villa is equipped with all the amenities you could possibly need – from state-of-the-art kitchen appliances to high-end bathroom fixtures, every detail has been carefully considered to provide ultimate comfort and convenience. The outdoor space is just as impressive, with stunning views and a well-maintained pool area that offered the perfect backdrop for relaxing afternoons. What truly sets this villa apart, however, is the exceptional service and attention to detail. Whether it was the welcoming hosts, or the little touches like fresh towels by the pool, it felt like every need was anticipated. If you're looking for a place to unwind in absolute luxury and comfort, look no further. This villa truly exceeded all expectations and delivered an unforgettable experience!

This was a beautiful stay for me and my husband. We celebrated 18yrs ago when I had a rare disease and miraculously healed by God. Staying here has made us reflect on God's goodness and joy. Our room was amazing and the Chapel completed the entire stay. The environment was so relaxing and a wonderful serene setting to put away the cell phones and enjoy God's goodness. Thank you so much to the whole La Palmilla Staff and family for making such a treasured and momentous place for all to embrace and enjoy. Peace and blessings to you all!

We’ve stayed here before and had a wonderful experience, so we decided to return and begin a new family tradition of visiting around Thanksgiving. This time we chose a casita for a little more space. The room itself was very spacious and the beds were very comfortable. However, the kids wanted their own beds and we also needed a full kitchen, so the layout wasn’t ideal for us. One concern we had was the bathroom window—its frosting is wearing off, and you can see through it from the outside. Even though it’s positioned high, it still feels like a privacy issue. Our biggest disappointment was that the spa wasn’t heated this time. On our last Thanksgiving visit, it was 40 degrees outside and the whole family still enjoyed getting in because it was nice and warm. This time, the kids only lasted about 10 minutes before being told the heater was out. We even left Granbury early so they could swim, but unfortunately it didn’t work out. Breakfast has also changed. They no longer offer the buffet-style breakfast and instead sell food out of a taco trailer. The food was good and fairly priced, but it does take away from the traditional hotel experience, and it didn’t quite compare to what they used to serve. All that said, we still love La Palmilla. We plan to continue visiting every year and hope they keep working toward offering an experience that’s even better than a typical hotel stay.

La Palmilla was wonderful! We decided to take a last minute trip at Thanksgiving since we didn’t have friends or family around… but we didn’t want to travel far from DFW. So I found La Palmilla and it looked great! When we got there… we were worried about getting food, but thankfully they had a food truck with really good pizza and empanadas - highly recommend! They have beautiful facilities and rooms - so peaceful and relaxing. All the staff were great - helpful and friendly! We also visited Glen Rose - they had nice restaurants and shops! Highly recommend!
