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!

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.

Not at all a cookie cutter hotel

Loved this quirky hotel high atop a hill overlooking Cadeques. Great exercise walking up and down the hill, tho you can also drive as there is parking available. Had a lovely little spacious bungalow with great views and three terraces. The main hotel is old and very interesting and aesthetically appealing. Pools wasn’t open yet but looked beautiful. Nice breakfast included. Would love to stay there longer!

Love this property, decorations, views, and swimming pools. It’s difficult to drive to it and staff has to be contacted to get in and out the gate. No elevators and can be gnarly negotiating all the outdoor steps, twists, and turns.

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.
