a pleasant hotel with great views from the garden and pool.
the only thing that spoils this hotel is the standard of evening meals. we ate the 1st 2 nights but discovered there was no hotel chef and that meals were being brought in from a neighbouring hotel several kms away. As there are no other restaraunts nearby this was a problem and the stay was not as enjoyable as it could have been.
Acrea is supposedly a quality hotel chain, with a good reputation for food (one main reason why I booked this hotel)
I do hope they get this this problem sorted for future guests , but in future I will be booking small family run hotels where pride and a personal service is paramount.

We had a marvellous stay in the Halcon Palace this summer. It is ideal if you want relaxation and an away from it all holiday. The rooms were excellent, and the pool really wonderful. We hired a car and did some exploration of the local area (the great new dinosaur museum, canoeing down the River Sella, visiting the market in Ribadesella, but mostly we were happy to just sit next to the pool and read.
I can imagine that if you get bored easily this isn't the best holiday location but we really did have a dream holiday here. The Betz family no longer run the hotel but the staff couldn't have been more helpful and despite eating and drinking in the hotel every night, we still didn't manage to run up much of a bill at the end of the stay.

Just superb!!
Imagine a great house placed on an incredible green valley, surrounded by wild horses and cows, with an spectacular view of the Picos de Europa, and 10 minutes away from the nicest asturian beaches. Don't expect luxury!! This is a country house rebuilted over an XVIII th Century ruin and furnished with some antiques and confortable beds.
The food is superb!!
I spent one week there with my family and can't wait to go back.

Staying at the Halcon Palace is like stepping back in time.

The hotel is beautifully situated on the side of a hill overlooking the valley and the Picos de Europa Mountains beyond. Truly spectacular!

The hotel is full of old world charm. It's furnished with antiques, the rooms are large and service excellent. Someone even turned down the beds for us each evening. The Benz family ensure that each person that stays there gets individual attention. The food is superb - the evening dinner is a particular bargain. We ate there each evening and were served with huge portions of delicious local fare.

Can't wait to return. Hope the weather's better next time though as it was too cold and wet to get into the beautiful swimming pool.
