An unforgettable experience that went beyond my expectations.

The views were unbelievable, and the whole experience was extraordinary. I went for a two-day solo retreat and booked an additional three days. I would highly recommend going for a long walk all around the area. The hotel provided a map to go for a beautiful walk. I would also highly recommend booking a service in the spa. I rarely book hotel treatments because they are often overpriced, but the massage and facial were exceptional. Another tip is to try the local yoghurt with their forest honey for breakfast. I have travelled to many 5-star hotels, and I can't even put it in a comparable category. The food, amenities, service, people and property and attention to detail were exceptional. My last tip is to really enjoy the hotel, go for a walk, and enjoy the spa, and the pool is not for swimming but for pure relaxation with massage jets. There is a beautiful room at the spa to watch the ocean to mediation music, eat at their 3star restaurant and watch the unbelievable sunset.

Superb - highly recommend!

Stunning views, wonderful staff, exceptional facilities and food (and we only ate in the hotel restaurant not the Michelin starred) - would highly recommend!

Nothing - only thing to note is it’s situated in the hills a little out of San Sebastián so better for a relaxing getaway rather than to use as a base for exploring the city centre.

Overall, a lovely hotel but overpriced considering the facilities and overall feel to the place

beautiful views and amazing beds. Akelarre restaurant was expensive but superb!

Facilities a bit lacking given the cost of the stay and being 5 star. No areas to lounge outside and no outside pool

Luxury for a night or two with a program planned otherwise not a resort style.

Breakfast was great and view beautiful, though much better from the top level than the open round decks. Chairs too low to enjoy views.

Nothing to do during day to relax outdoor. No outdoor pool or not even outdoor sun lounges with outdoor showers maybe.

Modern luxury very well done.

What is terrific here is the quietness of the rooms- no water or other sounds from the rest of the building or neighbours. Modern design and everything worked. Luxury breakfast - not a buffet, Not just the standard hotel choices/brands Staff very well trained. And friendly

No pool. Could do with a working path through the gardens though this would require some thought on privacy of the rooms...Bigger parasols in the outside bar area, Too far from Town to walk.

Nice hotel in a great location. Don’t eat in the restaurant.

The hotel is beautiful. The rooms are very nice with fantastic views out to sea. The indoor pool and spa are very nice. The staff in the hotel are very polite and smiley and nothing is too much trouble.

This hotel was originally just a restaurant. It has three Michelin stars which means it should be fantastic. It just isn’t. The food is ordinary and the service is really quite poor. We would rate it at best as one star but have eaten in many one star restaurants that were much, much better. It needs a complete re think. This was the also the view of many of the other guests we spoke to.
