I'm constantly thinking about how I can get back here. This was the perfect getaway for me that was relatively close to the DFW and far enough where it felt like a different world. When driving up on the place, it looked underwhelming from the road, but once I was on the grounds I felt overwhelming peace. It was just the right size. You can walk a reasonable distance to amenities, but it's not a long walk to enjoy all they have to offer. There's a fitness room that has no rhyme or reason, but there's water fountain in there that I filled my bottle up with frequently, along with an ice machine. The bodega has drinks, medicine, snacks, and merch for purchase. I can imagine on the weekends they sell the alcohol, but being it was a Monday it was manned by cameras. The pool is stunning. Walking up on it is like a dream, and there's a hot tub as well. Pool towels nearby and a cooler along with nice seating along the pool. I loved walking down the main walkway because the speakers played music out of the speakers as you passed by (motion sensed). The cantina was lovely. Water and coffee were available all day, which maybe is the norm, or again, being there on a Monday was allowed (I'm fairly sure I was the only guest that day, so maybe they just like me be). There's outdoor seating area in the Casita, and a fire pit next to it. It appears to have a food truck as well, which I bet is open on the weekends when there's more than one guest. ;) My room was excellent. I love that they use non toxic cleaning products and the toiletries were also low tox. The rooms are so spacious, and refrigerator was high quality, and wow the sheets are soft and smooth. I enjoyed that everything was thought of - even when I thought there were no tissues, there were - just in the drawers! The windows and front door were great, along with the porch. The hotel room was perfectly designed, and the ambience was perfect. I was able to relax the moment I walked in. I loved the variety of herbal teas, which were yummy, and the coffee selection - I was so pleased with those. My kettle has calcium buildup and I texted the customer service line and within minutes they replied and sent someone to clean it out. I also forgot plates and plasticware, and they brought me some as well. Breakfast was continental. Muffins, bread, bagels, orange juice, milk, low sugar high protein yogurt, creamy butter, granola bars, and piping hot coffee and tea. I appreciated that they had gluten free bread. I already brought my own items since I'm GF/DF, but it was nice to enjoy their treats, too. Grounds keepers were doing an excellent job keeping the plants and grass up to a high standard. I walked the grounds enjoying the plant and the bugs they brought. It was peaceful and fun. Overall, even writing this review brings me joy. I loved this place so much and it was truly a luxurious experience where I enjoyed nature, solitude, rest, and a relaxed ambience across the grounds. I believe is an excellent spot for a solo trip (I didn't lock my door while I walked the grounds). I would love to make this a girls trip where moms can finally relax and take care of their own needs, and I'd also love to bring my spouse to break away from the demands of life and enjoy why we're married. This place was a dream and I can not wait to make my way back here sooner than later. If I were to be picky - my shower head was sporadic, I believe it also had calcium build up. Additionally, the toilet was uneven, so when I got up it shifted. read more

This is a review I'm hesitant to write because I feel like I found a secret treasure and I selfishly don't want to share it! But La Palmilla blessed me so much, I want to bless them with a good review! I knew I wanted to return within the first hour of visiting! Grounds are beautiful, landscape, pool, chapel with stained glass windows, walking trails, kind staff and much more! There's no check in but the texting service was very prompt in answering all my questions and I didn't have any issues getting in and out of the gates. I felt safe the whole time! I grabbed lunch from the Baked bakery in town and ate at the pool. There's a mini fridge at the pool so I could keep food and drink cool while there! And the subtle Spanish guitar music playing everywhere was just the cherry on top. Definitely recommend! read more

La Palmilla Texas - Nespresso in room. No decaf coffee but they do have herbal tea - Resorts Near Me - Glen Rose, Texas

My wife stayed at the resort for two nights and enjoyed everything about it. Very clean and absolutely beautiful. I love the architecture and the beautiful chapel onsite. We toured the pecan grove and enjoyed the beautiful gardens that are meticulously maintained by an onsite master gardener and naturalist. I highly recommend this place. Well done! read more

I saw this gem of a property on an Instagram reel and thought this would be the perfect little get away for my husband and I's anniversary. We were actually able to sneak away for a couple of days and I thought the hour and a half drive from DFW made this the exact location I was in search of. I wanted somewhere with atmosphere and style, a pool and close to things to do! Before checking in at 3PM my husband and I did a drive thru at Fossil Rim, an absolute must when you stay here! I could go on forever about giraffes and such but that's an entirely different review. Driving up to the property in late March was a sight to see, the green grass rolling down to the beautiful red Spanish tile... all tucked behind a gate with a code to make all guests feel safe & secure. Our room was modern and spacious, herbal tea for my husband when he wakes up around midnight and coffee for a late afternoon pick me up. The room was very clean and nicely decorated - large enough to spread out, a closet to hang out clothes and dresser to put items away out of sight. A little fridge to keep our bottled water we brought nice and cold throughout the stay. Dual sink vanity in the bathroom & spacious countertops! Unlike some hotels where we feel a bit cramped, there was plenty of room for us to spread out our bathroom belongings and not feel claustrophobic. One thing I was lacking was the little shower caps that come complimentary with hotel stays, as a short hair girlie I do not wash my hair every day and needed to be a little creative to save my curls. Other than that the shampoo, body wash and conditioner were the large normal size and I respect a property that saves on plastic and thinks of longevity - plus it allows us both to take realistic showers and not try to bathe with a pea sized amount sharing a tiny throw away tube. The nights were very quiet, you could hear the occasional conversation as other guests walk past but everyone seemed very respectful and we both had zero problems falling asleep tucked up inside the cozy comfortable sheets. The grounds keeper was very knowledgeable on plants arranged around the property, you could tell she has a passion for native plants and keeping the wildlife and pollinators happy. In the meeting house where breakfast was served I was very thrilled to see a water fountain where I could easily fill my emotional support water bottle - this will be extremely useful and beneficial during those triple digit Texas summers. We walked down to the river one morning, we were lucky to come at a time of year to see it fully flowing and take in the natural surroundings with our morning coffee. My husband and I did run into Andy while we were checking out the pool area and he was kind enough to locate a wine bottle opener for my husband and I. We did have one slight hiccup our first day, the room that ended up checking in next to us was filled full with tiny humans and definitely was not the ideal situation to celebrate a wedding anniversary get away. I texted the number provided and Mitch immediately responded & was extremely diligent in getting us a much quieter room and was extremely understanding. Once we settled into our new spot everything was back to picture perfect. The pool the next day made for a fabulously peaceful setting for sunning & reading, there were clean towels in great condition ready to use at our leisure. A fridge to keep drinks cold, a sink to wash up, and a grill to prep a fun outdoor dinner if you wanted. Breakfasts in the morning were simple, nothing extravagant but overall was a nice start to the day and the coffee was hot. I was so happy that we were able to stay at this property before the secret is out and all of Dallas keeps this place booked up for months! I have been telling all our friends about this new little gem and hopefully we'll be able to visit again very soon! read more

Words cannot express how amazing this place is. It is nestled in the best location and appears like a small mission that is gated. So much thought and detail was put into each building. Our accommodations were gorgeous and comfortable. In addition, we were blessed to have met one of the owners, who cheerfully gave us a tour of the chapel, which blew us away. This will not be the last time we come to stay and will be a staple for many years to come. read more

Had the best girls weekend at La Palmilla. Close for everyone to meet up, but a quiet, peaceful getaway. We stayed in the 3 bedroom casita. So perfect!! Plenty of space, bathrooms great, and beds and especially linens were amazing. Spent one day by the pool and enjoyed eating in the Cantina. read more
