The most beautiful hotel we stayed in during our month long trip on the Costa Brava! Wonderful staff, dinner and breakfast. The view can be compared to none!
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

An oasis just outside the buzz of Cadaques. Fantastic service, beautiful pool area and amazing views over the bay! If you arrive by car, you will probably think you drive the wrong way. The road up to the hotel is narrow and steep, but so worth it. I would love to come back!

Exceptional hotel. Family run and so helpful and welcoming. Original old building full of character and newer rooms around a nice pool area On a hillside on the edge of town with spectacular views over the bay and town Golf buggy on call to take the pain out of the uphill for less strong walkers Beautiful terraces grounds with old pound and olive trees All very tastefully done Good food too!

6/10 Good

It’s a beautiful property, but know that it’s quite a hike into town and uphill back to the hotel. Great news is that you get to walk off your meal. The place is situated high on a hill and has spectacular views. Our room was clean and modest. The staff is friendly.

The patience in finding this gem in the narrow one way streets of Cadaques paid off big time, as the final climb to the top of the hill has the most rewarding views of the seaside village. Friendly staff, great room, simple breakfast gets you ready to explore Dali land ! Can’t imagine how fun the pools must be in summer.

Hotel has a Spectacular view of the sea. It's on a hill and the hotel doesn't provide a transportation, neither they arrange a transportation for you, so unless you have a car you are on feet dragging your luggage up or down hill for quite a distance. Good luck!

Perfect location at Hotel Rec de Palau

My children and I stayed at the Hotel Rec de Palau in July and it was perfect. We stayed in a suite with access to the upper pools. It was a very comfortable room in an exquisite location. The staff were friendly and helpful whether helping with directions or taking a step to make our stay more comfortable. The dining room is a very unique space with lots of interesting nautical themes - not to mention a yummy breakfast and idyllic view for a pre-dinner glass of wine. A short (somewhat steep) walk from the hotel you'll find a range of restaurants, shops and lovely beaches. We'll be back.

No one is very helpful. Restaurant isn’t good. Pool is nice views are amazing. I’d stay somewhere else in the area next time. NO ENGLISH!!!

4/10 Fair

One thing that is lovely about the hotel and in particular from the balcony room, is the view of Cadaques. Everything else about the hotel was very disappointing and I don’t consider myself terribly picky. The room was very small and had no amenities (no shampoo, soap, etc). The dinner we ordered was more like a snack with bread on one plate and anchiovies on another for 18 Euros. The breakfast was very basic and I would recommend going somewhere in town for all meals. The bed made so much noise when anyone moved and so we were awakened all night. We also asked for laundry service for our clothes (15 euros for the load, not bad) but they never did it. We chose to forgo our second night even though we couldn’t get our money back and stayed somewhere else. It looked like a wonderful place to stay but it just didn’t measure up at all - Very disappointing.

What can I say one of the best hotels experiences I have ever had. Angeles and her family made us feel like we were part of the family. Their hospitality and generosity was beyond welcoming. The property is stunning with beautiful views of Cadeques. I highly recommend this hotel on your visit to Cadeques. Amazing room and the morning breakfast can’t be beat. Thank you and we will be back again soon. Gracias a todos!! Alberto y Ana

So so hotel

This hotel was up a steep hill well above the beach. The staff and the view was lovely. The hotel was fairly simple and dated.

Charming, authentic hotel

Wonderful charming hotel nestled above Cadaques town. Fleeting visit but so glad we found this place. Tricky streets and driveway, but well worth the effort.
