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.

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.

The facility is beautiful, make no mistake. There is construction on the ocean view side of the suites, which is a negative. The real problem is day of arrival. You have to navigate up a windy driveway, and pass through a closed gate. The disconnect here is that there is no signage OUTSIDE the gate with instructions on how to gain access (the instructions are on the INSIDE of the gate, which is of no use to the person coming for the first time). I had to jump the wall and run up the rest of the serpentine driveway to get to reception. In reception, I got lip service from the indifferent attendant. This issue notwithstanding, the hotel and the city are beautiful.

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.

Overall we enjoyed our stay here, but there are some negatives and some aspects that potential guests need to consider. Location and Aspect: hotel is located a moderate walk from the village centre, compounded by a steep and long walk up a driveway. This is fine if you walk a lot and are quite fit. If not, best to stay here if you have a car. An awful smell came into our room #10 at night - at first we thought it was the strong fragrance from the reed diffusers, but it became much worse when we removed them on our second night. We did not complain directly as the hotel has a few maintenance issues overall (driveway condition, creaky pool decking in need of attention) and has generally seen better days. Lack of in-room tea and coffee facilities are another minus, and our stay would have been a little more comfortable with these available. Good mini-fridge, good shower. The Good: Hotel staff were very helpful and personable. Included breakfast was basic, and a cooked breakfast very reasonable priced and served quickly. The great: The view from our balcony (and breakfast area) was spectacular, and helped our three-night stay to be an overall wonderful experience in this magical village. Would recommend you contact the Hotel before booking to check if the smell issue has been sorted out or if you can request a room that does not suffer from this problem. Swimming pool absolutely immaculately clean.

Hôtel de charme magnifique, vue spectaculaire, jardin et piscines au calme. Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans cet hôtel, entouré de nature et au charme authentique . Les chambres sont confortables. L hôtel dispose d un restaurant avec une vue sur la baie (cuisine moyenne). Il faut beaucoup marcher pour rejoindre la plage ou le centre ce qui n a pas été un problème pour nous, au contraire, la balade sportive est agréable, mais cela peut être plus difficile si vous n êtes pas en forme. Nous reviendrons !
