XQ El Palacete

This is our sixth visit to the hotel and it never disappoints. It's low key and quiet without all the organised events of a large hotel but that suits us. The bedrooms are comfortable and all sea facing onto the beautiful beach below. It is well placed for visiting the old part of town which has lots of shops, bars and restaurants, but still within easy walking distance of the more touristy shops. The staff always give us a wonderful welcome and do everything to make our stay great. Most of them have been at the hotel for many years so everything works like a well oiled machine. All of the staff from housekeeping to the waiting staff through to Reception and Guest Services are warm and friendly whilst also being efficient. Every year we say we are going to try somewhere else for our Winter Sun, but every year we find ourselves returning to El Palacete!

The location of hotel appeals to us both we both enjoy cycling, running and walking around this area. This was our second visit and we were amazed at all the staff still there and the fact they remained happy in their employment. The management are always available for contact should you have any issues and they will correct any problems you may incur. I would advise to take the premium upgrade to experience breakfast on the outside deck which on a sunny sunrise morning definitely takes some beating. The buffets served over the festive period on the special evenings were delightful and presented in such a professional manor I have a food allergy and all my no go areas were well documented and no doubts were assured for me to eat without concern. Food staff location will always be a big draw for this boutique venue to be successful staff to mention Sarah, Susan, Juan, Hassan, Andreas, Roseann,housemaids, chefs and kitchen staff. We enjoyed seeing you all again and I apologise if I’ve missed any off the list. Good luck for 2025 keep up the amazing work you all put into to daily routines. Also returning guests year on year is a very positive statement and we will definitely return again and truly appreciate your hospitality given over Christmas & New Year’s.

Loved this place.Excellent rooms,and fantastic sea view.Service is top notch,and it shows throughout the hotel. My only issue is the lack of tea making facilities in confort rooms.Would love a hot drink before breakfast on the balcony.Tried to find a small travel kettle in town( no luck). However a fabulous hotel with amazing views. Mark

Another wonderful holiday at El Palacete. Like many of the guests at the hotel we are regular returning visitors and those that are guests for the first time usually express their wish to become part of the returning regulars. This says a great deal for this hotel. The staff in all departments cannot do enough to make your stay pleasurable in every way and we are always welcomed back as returning friends. A quality hotel perfect for couples in a great location but don't go if you are on a diet as the choice of food is just irresistible.

Lovely hotel at the end of a long sandy beach in a slightly elevated position with balcony facing the sea. Great quality and variety of food at both breakfast and dinner. Friendly staff. The pool was never busy and sun loungers were always available. Very large jacuzzi pool. One of the most relaxing holidays I have been on.

We keep coming back to El Palacete. We love the location right on the beach, the laid back vibe and the attentive service. The team at the hotel make this place - special thanks to Rosa, Sara, Esther, Kika, Hassan & Pablo who looked after us so well. We last visited 18 months ago and incredibly Esther remembered our drinks order for dinner from all that time ago! I always want ice with my wine and every night a small bucket of ice was on the table waiting for me - small things make a huge difference. A small hotel with a big heart - we will be back next year!
