Akelarre - Relais & Chateaux, San Sebastian

I found myself in paradise with dreamy views at this hotel. The rooms are elegantly designed, modern, well-appointed, and spacious. The service was friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful, making my stay truly enjoyable. The location is absolutely beautiful, although a bit out of San Sebastián, but the superb hotel experience made up for it. The dining options were limited, especially considering the hotel's Michelin-starred restaurant reputation. Overall, a luxurious stay with some minor drawbacks but definitely worth it.

I had an amazing time at this hotel, with huge and very comfortable rooms offering a walk-in closet, outstanding bathroom, and breathtaking sea views. Watching the ocean while listening to meditation music, dining at their 3-star restaurant, and witnessing the unbelievable sunset were unforgettable experiences. Although the service was friendly, there were some minor issues with the attentiveness. The location, while slightly out of town, was stunning and perfect for a relaxing day. The dining options were a mixed bag, with some excellent choices but also a limited breakfast menu. Overall, a luxurious stay with a few areas that could be improved.

Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were elegant, modern, well-appointed, and beautiful, but they felt like an afterthought compared to other amenities. The service offered professional and friendly staff, although some interruptions occurred. The location, although overlooking the ocean, felt a bit boring being in the hills outside San Sebastián. The dining was a hit or miss - some great quality options but also disappointing aspects. Overall, a stay with ups and downs.

The hotel is located in the hills a little out of San Sebastián, offering a serene atmosphere with stunning views, and a love for the cocktail cabin. The staff is very friendly, but for a hotel bistro, the service could be improved. The 3-star Michelin restaurant may not be worth the anticipation. The hotel provides a long walk around the area and is not too busy.
