The sweet refuge of childhood_20241112_030851_0000.jpg

Hello friends of Architecture + Design!

Today I am going to show you the architectural design of the Roc Barlovento Hotel, where I spent a family vacation a little over 15 days ago. I really liked its design because it harmonizes with the natural environment that surrounds it.

The hotel has an architectural structure that combines functionality and aesthetics. Its 287 rooms are distributed in low-rise buildings, allowing greater integration with the surrounding landscape.

Hola amigos de Arquitectura +Diseño!

Hoy voy a mostrarles el diseño arquitectónico del Hotel Roc Barlovento, donde pasé unas vacaciones familiares hace poco más de 15 días. Me gustó mucho su diseño porque armoniza con el entorno natural que lo rodea.
El hotel cuenta con una estructura arquitectónica que combina funcionalidad y estética. Sus 287 habitaciones están distribuidas en edificios de baja altura, lo que permite una mayor integración con el paisaje circundante.

The hotel entrance is imposing and welcoming, with a large sign displaying the hotel's name, surrounded by tall palm trees and tropical vegetation, creating a beautiful visual ensemble. The main building is white in color and on the façade displays a sequence of arches, each with a lantern, forming a beautiful row of lights. A paved path leads to the main entrance, where guests are greeted with a warm welcome.

La entrada del hotel es imponente y acogedora, con un gran letrero que muestra el nombre del hotel, rodeado de altas palmeras y vegetación tropical, creando un conjunto visual hermoso. El edificio principal es de color blanco y en la fachada muestra una secuencia de arcos, cada uno con un farol, formando una hermosa hilera de luces.

One of the most impressive aspects of the hotel is its lobby, its entrance entirely decorated with white-painted carved wood. The carved wood features intricate geometric patterns that create a semi-transparent partition between the lobby area and the car and bus entrance, contributing to the hotel's aesthetic and welcoming atmosphere.

Uno de los aspectos más impresionantes del hotel es su lobby, su entrada completamente decorado con madera tallada pintada de blanco. La madera tallada presenta patrones geométricos intrincados que crean una partición semi-transparente entre el área del lobby y la entrada de autos y autobuses, contribuyendo a la estética y la atmósfera acogedora del hotel.

The area is furnished with several light-coloured sofas, providing a comfortable space for guests to sit and relax. It has decorative vases, in the centre of the ceiling, colourful stained glass windows that add a touch of elegance and colour. This area also serves as a waiting area for guests arriving or departing from the hotel.

The hotel has two main pools, although there is another pool for children, which is currently unused as the hotel is for adults only. The pools are surrounded by palm trees, sun loungers and pergolas, creating a perfect environment for relaxation. One of the pools has a beautiful waterfall, which adds a visual and auditory element of serenity. The other pool has an area in its center where the water bubbles, similar to a jacuzzi, offering a luxurious and comfortable experience, which we loved.

El hotel dispone de dos piscinas principales, aunque hay otra piscina para niños, actualmente está en desuso ya que el hotel es solo para adultos.Las piscinas estan rodeadas de palmeras, tumbonas y pérgolas, creando un ambiente perfecto para la relajación. Una de las piscinas cuenta con una hermosa cascada, que añade un elemento visual y auditivo de serenidad. La otra piscina tiene en su centro un área donde el agua burbujea, similar a un jacuzzi, ofreciendo una experiencia de lujo y confort, esa nos encantó.

The tropical gardens extend throughout the hotel and lead down to the beach, creating a natural path that invites guests to enjoy the Caribbean Sea. This path, flanked by tall palm trees and with shacks that offer drinks and snacks during the day, ends in a ramp that leads to the crystal-clear waters of this beautiful beach.

What an amazing hotel @lileisabel! Like you, the white wooden carvings serving as screens/partitions between the main lobby and exterior entrance caught my curious attention. Its fascinating geometric patterns are truly outstanding. Plus, the entire atmosphere of this establishment is simply worth appreciating from an architectural viewpoint. ☺️

In that place there were two things that caught my attention about its design, the large carved wooden structure at the entrance and the tropical atmosphere full of palm trees around the pools, it seemed like a true paradise.
