I've been ther with my wife last easter holidays, we've been in a superior room (nº23) 190 euros per night breakfast not included. The room was close to the reception, noisy and very dark. The breakfast is really expensive, is a menu breakfast and a simpli juice it costs from 3 euros. The hotel is in the middle of the nature, the view is wonderful, but is impossible to do some trecking or to have just a walk. There's only a little road the go to the nationl road where you can have a walk, all around are private zone really closed.

The dinner was good, a little bit expensive, we taste it 1 time, then we've been in other restaurants in Olivenza (very good) and other cities, close to Almendral there's a restaurant for Tapas and Barbecue called "La Fabrica" that is cheap and good. Finally I thinkl that the first problem on this hotel is that the owners are never on spot, and there are many persons coming to stay in this hotel just to say: "Ive been in the hotel of the sister of Miguel Bose".

Good to try, but too expensive for the quality.

This 16th century former monastery, now a unique luxury class rural hotel with 31 guest rooms and an outstanding restaurant serving exceptional local cuisine, can be found just off the highway at Km marker 41, a short distance down the road from the village of Almendral and a short drive south of Mérida. It is an extremely quiet location in the countryside, the perfect get-a-way and a destination for many of those in the know from Madrid and Sevilla. Owned by Spanish actor Carlos Tristancho and his wife Lucía Dominguín, the daughter of renowned matador Luis Maguel Dominguín, the Rocamador offers a level of service unsurpassed. We stopped by to check it out and have lunch on the 27th of March, not really knowing what to expect, but where immediately impressed with everything we experienced. The staff is outstanding and the lunch was on a par with the best nuevo regional cuisine Extremadura and the Basque Country have to offer, especially when you consider that the chefs (a husband and wife team) got their training at Arzak in Donostia-San Sebastian.

I've been to many five stars around the world, and Rocamador was one of the most divine experiences. The room was cosy, bathtub huge, the bed gigantic and the countryside around it beautiful. The restaurant in the hotel is Michelin starred and yet they had a wine list that included dozens of bottles for less than twenty euros. One word of caution, as they seem to make little attempt to advertise, it's very difficult to find unless you pay very careful attention to their directions.

Rocamador is the ultimate in exclusivity and chic. It is a converted monastery and is absolutely stunning. It is well off the beaten path, but well worth the trip. They have a five star restaurant and serve exquisite food.
