We arrived late in the evening after the restaurant had closed (Monarch flight from Manchester over an hour late. No excuses, no apology). But our Sovereign rep. had phoned ahead and an excellent cold meal was waiting for us when we finally arrived. Top marks to Stuart from Sovereign and to the hotel. Wooden spoon to Monarch Airlines. Our room... More

This is a small hotel (circa 50 rooms) which is exactly what my partner and i were looking for. We dont like the 500+ room hotels with lots of bars and restaurants. This hotel has a lovely little pool with amazing infinity views of the sea and lots of comfy sunbeds and unmbrellas. It has a cute outside bar/snack bar... More

Fabulous hotel in perfect quiet surroundings. Superb staff in all departments. Excellent food and pool area. Good locally for walks. Friendly local bars - great to watch Spanish football with the locals and our bar staff too! Will return in the Autumn this year. More

We have stayed at this hotel on three previous occasions when it was part of the Riu Group. After a gap of 3 years, we returned in 2011 and found the hotel had been quite extensively re- furbished. The loungers, outside tables & chairs and balcony furniture were all high quality rattan (in lieu of the previous plastic) and both... More

Bedooms, all with sea views are first-rate and it's about 50 yards down to the promenade & splendid beach. We spent an enjoyable & peaceful week here and the only criticism I would offer relates to the quality of the food for evening meals - for which there are two sittings. It seemed at times as if some of the... More

OK - I admit that both my husband and I are committed fans of the RIU chain of hotels, and I also admit that this is the 15th time we've stayed at one of their hotels. BUT - this is the best European experience we've had (the others have been in Mexico and the Dominican Republic). El Palacete was a... More

We have visited this hotel regularly for the past six years during the months of January and February. The hotel is small (55 rooms all with sea views) and the staff are very friendly. The food is excellent and we have no hesitation in recommending the hotel to our friends. More
