Hotel gelegen op prachtige locatie
Pros:

De prachtige locatie

Cons:

De prijs, was niet in verhouding met de kwaliteit. Eigenlijk een restaurant met daarboven 6 kamers. Kamers leuk maar wel aan een opfrisbeurt toe, voor die prijs mag het wel wat luxer.
Hotel moeilijk toegankelijk voor mensen die wat slechter te been zijn (steil en oneffen pad naar beneden).
Restaurant prachtig maar prijzig, €230,- afgerekend voor 2 personen.
Hotel ligt in Porto Rafael, 2 km van Palau, auto is wel aan te raden want laatste bus gaat om 18.40uur.

Disappointing as this was our most expensive stay in our 2 weeks in Italy
Pros:

Great setting

Cons:

The air conditioning broke down on our first night. The staff did nothing about it until we made a fuss after a second night of no sleep. The manager then purchased a portable air conditioning unit - which worked ok on the third night but was very noisy. In the end we negotiated that they paid for 2 meals that we had in the restaurant as compensation. The biggest issue was the poor communication. I think if we had not made a fuss they would not have done anything to rectify the situation. They also continued to rent out the rooms but didn’t inform the incoming guests that the air conditioning was not working.

Very good
Pros:

It is nice, but it is rather the restaurant with few rooms upstairs. There is not much to see or to do beside cute plaza with few small shops and little beach in the front. Be careful when ordering dishes which are not in the menu, ask for pice upfront.

Superb
Pros:

We loved the location and the restaurant was excellent. The people who worked there were accommodating and nice. It is in a beautiful neighborhood. the outdoor area feels like a movie set resort.

Cons:

It is near the ocean and therefore damp. The bathroom had a musty odor. The room was smaller than anticipated. But the location and the vibe of the place made up for this.

This place is magic. We loved it so much we stayed longer.
Pros:

What a lovely surprise this place is! The MOST beautiful location imaginable. The terrace of the hotel is in a charming courtyard looking out to the sea with is own private beach. The rooms are nicely designed and comfortable, and the breakfast was very good, but it’s the experience of being in this special place that we loved.
