Barcelo Resorts Use Weird Talking Pillows To Sell New Los Cabos Resort

Where: Los Cabos, Mexico

Talking pillows. Of course. Obvious candidates for a big hotel promotion campaign. Or have the Barceló Hotels group simply gone completely mad?

If only for novelty value alone, the new campaign from the Barceló group, "Pillow Talk", wins big points.

Spoiler alert, in case you want to watch all six videos and enjoy the suspense: Sophie and Drew end up finding this better life at the newest Barceló hotel in Mexico, the Barceló Los Cabos Palace Deluxe, which will open up on December 17, 2009 (or December 15, depending on which page of their website you trust).

Weddings May Be a Recession-Proof Industry But You Can Still Save at Barcelo Resorts

(The resort will open in December.) In fact, Barcelo has put together so many other wedding packages at their diverse properties in Mexico, the Caribbean and Central America, that they had to start an entirely new website devoted to the big day--BarceloWeddings.com.
