The food and service can't be faulted (especially the cava served with breakfast). Go for the food cooked fresh by the chefs - consistently excellent quality. The gala dinner on Friday was a lovely touch with drinks, canapes and a live pianist making the evening special. We expected the price of the bar drinks to be high from other reviews... More

Booked for 10 nights - two adults, one teenager. Had a suite (one of only 8 or so in the main building - mostly rooms here. Other building houses the suites). Lovely - entrance hall with loads of storage, double bedroom and separate living room with double sofa bed - both with flat screen TVs. Huge bathroom with bath and... More

We stayed at the Hipocampo Palace from Boxing Day to 02-Jan-2012 and had an excellent stay. The hotel facilities are excellent, the food is amongst the best in terms of choice/quality that I've had in a hotel and the service almost perfect. We stayed in the main building and our room was on the top floor facing the terrace and... More

My family stayed at this hotel in August 2011, I am currently booking my holiday for August 2012 to go back. It is a really lovely hotel, food great.

Having come from the horrible Felip in Portocristo this was an oasis of loveliness!! The man at Reception asked us where we had come from, we told him that we had a terrible experience in the Felip. I think that, due to that, we were given an upgrade to a suite (me and Mum). It's a very German focussed hotel,... More

Just got back from a week at this hotel and had a great experience. We are foodies and found the food uniformly good with plenty of variety. Comfortable and clean rooms, large wardrobes with plenty of hangers and twin sinks. They were even happy to change the mattresses for us for softer ones. Also nice relaxing communal areas, very attentive... More

My wife, myself and 2 friends have just returned home today after staying 7 days at the Hipocampo Palace. I have stayed in many top class hotels all over Europe but I do not recall such a great choice of high quality food at both breakfast and dinner. Our only problem was "what do we eat today!" There was entertainment... More

We stayed 7 nights at this hotel in a junior suite situated across the road from the main hotel, 11th to 18th October. Room first class, very clean loads of storage space, we were on the roadside did ask for a pool view but as the hotel is ' Very German' we felt they had the preference to the pool... More

Staff fine, bar prices slightly pricey but overall a great hotel.... More
