Which Barceló brands can you book with crypto?
trip1 gives you access to Barceló properties worldwide, including Barceló Hotels & Resorts, Occidental Hotels & Resorts, Allegro Hotels, Royal Hideaway Luxury Hotels & Resorts. Barceló Hotel Group is one of the largest Spanish chains, with about 270 hotels across Spain, the Canary Islands, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Cuba, Morocco, Egypt and the Gulf. Availability depends on your destination and travel dates.
Barceló doesn't accept crypto payments directly. trip1 is the bridge - you pay with crypto, CoinGate (trip1's MiCA-licensed payment provider) handles the conversion, and the hotel receives regular currency. Your booking works exactly like any other hotel reservation.

Loyalty points and check-in
Because the reservation is made through trip1 rather than Barceló directly, it does not count towards your My Barceló level, and My Barceló has no points to earn on any booking. Check-in itself is unchanged: bring the ID that matches the guest name on the booking, and the hotel treats it like any prepaid reservation.
Cancellations and refunds
Each rate shows its cancellation policy before you pay. If you cancel a refundable rate within the window, trip1 refunds you to your original payment method. Refunds are calculated in the fiat amount you paid, so the crypto you receive back reflects the exchange rate at refund time.
