welcome
Usage Note
Acogida comes from acoger ('to welcome, to shelter') and emphasises the warmth or quality of reception: una buena acogida ('a warm welcome'), centro de acogida ('shelter, reception centre'). Unlike recepción, which is neutral and often means the physical front desk, acogida always carries a human or social dimension. The phrase tener buena acogida means 'to be well received'.
Examples
"La película tuvo una gran acogida del público."
Natural Translation
The film received a great reception from the public.
