Castell Son Claret The Leading Hotels of the World

We had a wonderful stay at Castell Son Claret. After coming from a lively beach resort, the peacefulness of this property were a welcome change. The gardens are truly stunning, and the service throughout our stay was warm and attentive. Our room interiors looked a bit dated, but they were still very well maintained-spacious, clean, and comfortable. The bedding was wonderful! Breakfast was a real highlight for me, and we also loved our poolside afternoons and relaxed dinners on-site. Lovely place and would recommend!

We have a little bit mixed emotions about this hotel. The overall stay was nice, the castle itself and the grounds are amazing and the staff is very friendly. BUT for a hotel in this price range there were many small things that doesn’t justify the high price. 1) In the room there was a kettle but no tea bags. 2) The water from the shower leaked somehow to the toilet area next to the shower. 3) At the breakfast they mix up the orders or they forget to bring something that you ordered. 4) We ordered a soft boiled egg on two different days, they always came fully hard cooked. The first soft boiled egg came on the third day. 5) Drinking water by the pool should be included, there are many hotels in a price range 300€/night where the water is always included (sometimes also snacks). So for a hotel in a range 500€+/night it would be also expected - they offer a refillable bottle for 8€/day which is a good idea, but still… 6) Somebody drank 2 coffees in the main garden area, where the pond is located and nobody cleaned this table for 2 next days. The empty cups were just standing there and they put them away first on a third day. Overall it was a good stay, but we were not blown away considering the price/quality ratio. Also it would suit the hotel more if it was Adults only as the pool area is quite small and yelling children don’t quite fit the relaxing atmosphere.

This hotel is absolutely gorgeous and was our favorite of the three hotels we stayed at during our honeymoon. If you're a reader, you'll enjoy finding a nice secret place to get lost in a story in the fruitful garden. For athletes, there's a tennis court amidst the hills, and for rest seekers there is no more beautiful a space than the pool area, (and the menu is delicious)! The reason for the 4 star review is how we felt upon leaving the hotel. On one of our many amazing pool days, we happened to be sitting right next to another newlywed couple. We excitedly told the waitress we were celebrating our honeymoon just like the couple next to us. While they received many treats, desserts and champagne, we did not. And though we came in with 0 expectations, having that in our face was disheartening. This review will not affect many, because Castell is truly a special and unforgettable. My note to the hotel staff: treat all celebrations and people equally, you may be surprised at what gets noticed.
