PB hotel design editorial

A nineteenth-century military fortress built into the cliffs of Cala Blava, on the southwestern edge of Mallorca, gave Cap Rocat its bones — crenellated sandstone ramparts, barrel-vaulted chambers carved from the rock, and a sequence of walled courtyards that once housed the coastal artillery defending Palma Bay. The conversion, completed in 2009, preserved the fortification's austere military grammar almost completely intact, with the local marès limestone left exactly as found: salt-bleached, pitted, and warm gold in the evening light visible in the courtyard images here, where palm trees and clipped cypress mark the former parade ground and candlelit lanterns line the descending terraces at dusk. Inside, the 30 rooms and suites follow the contours of the original barracks and gunpowder stores, barrel-vaulted ceilings curving low over travertine floors laid in large format slabs. The interiors mix Mallorcan ikat textiles — blue-and-white patterned headboards, striped dining chair covers — with mid-century glass-topped desks on splayed walnut legs and leather club chairs, the overall effect closer to a cultivated private residence than a managed hotel. Wrought iron gates mark the pool terrace, which drops toward the sea on a limestone shelf, the Bay of Palma and the mountains of the Serra de Tramuntana visible across the water. The clifftop restaurant terrace, shaded by retractable canvas awnings, extends the fortress walls directly over the Mediterranean.

"The strict policy is not very nice. We appreciate your punctuality ”If you have an unexpected event and you will be delayed for more than 15 minutes, please call us at :tel to prevent us from canceling your table. On the contrary, if you arrive more than 30 minutes before with respect to the time of your reservation, we can not guarantee your access to the hotel, in order to ensure optimal quality in our service.” We have been therefore many times but now the service and the ambiance is gone. We had lunch at the Sea Club. The food was ok, not more. The staff was all self concerned and it felt unprofessional. We were not welcome to have a drink at the bar/reception at the hotel. Sorry to say - but Cap Rocat has lost it and we will never go back. Nor will we recommend our friends to go there. Mayor disappointment."

"I have been lucky enough to stay at amazing 5 star hotels like The Grace on Santorini, San Pietro di Positano, Palazzo Avino in Ravello and Can Simoneta in Mallorca. I feel like I know what a true 5 star stay is, food, service and rooms. Cap Rocat is not a 5 star hotel and let me explain why: unless you stay in the Suite Del Mar or the Sentinal suites, your room will have no window (still a suite and still about 2k a night). The room is like a damp cave with outdated fixtures and a plastic bath. The luxury you see on the pictures and on instagram is not true. Do not be duped like we were. The breakfast is sub par. The coffee is terrible. I am a breakfast and coffee person and was horrified by the spread, old fruit, bland pastries, no flare. If you’re paying wow factor prices, you should be given a wow factor experience. The food at the restaurants is not much better. Where is an amazing chef and attention to detail? The hotel its self is quiet and private but there are no views. The main bar feels lonely and small without a vista to look at and very quickly the stone walls start to feel oppressive. The instagram photos are mostly from the restaurant you’re not allowed into unless you’re paying for the set meal. On the whole this place is way overpriced and lacks attention to detail or the kind of luxury you’d expect when you're paying huge amounts per night. Plus the restaurants are lacking majorly. Go elsewhere. This needs to be reduced to a 4 star and drop their prices. Do not be fooled."

"I was very excited to meet friends and family here for a catch up and my experience was just awful. My plane arrived early so we arrived an hour before our table. We asked to sit in the bar and were told we were not aloud in until our reservation, we asked to wait in the car park and we were told we had to wait on the road outside until our allotted time. When we finally got in to the bar (which was empty) we had to wait over an for drinks and were seated 15 minutes late for our table and had to wait almost an hour to order any drink of food. Service was terrible, staff were rude.. and since they were so stringent on our arrival time I expected them to run at a timely pace. This is a 5 star establishment and the service should reflect that. Food was fairly mediocre and with the service alongside that I would highly suggest you eat somewhere else. Dreadful 👎 There are so many beautiful spots to eat and drink at, avoid this one at all costs!"

"My wife and I have visited Spa’s all over the world and have experienced both good and bad. This falls somewhere in the middle. Let’s start with the facilities. The whole place is like something from a fairy tale, and is extremely worthy of the 5 star rating for this alone. Where it lets itself down. 1. The staff do jut enough and aren’t overly friendly or attentive. You are left to your own devices, we weren’t shown around and didn’t really feel welcomed. 2. The Massage wasn’t anything special and didn’t reflect the price. It’s an experience that I’m glad we did, if for nothing other than the facilities."

"Pros - amazing spa staff and masseuse (Annika is next level), great and creative bartenders and bar (with live music that is really good), delicious breakfast, fabulous golf cart and transport staff - Lisa was a great welcome. Amazing spot for privacy. Unique Location and views. Mehs -not as high-end as it tries to be. Missed opportunities – only 30 rooms is great – but the hotel restaurant allows other visitors – so you don’t get the time you want or any sort of priority. It is quite secluded – the gym and spa pool are amazing, but it would be nice to have more than just a yoga class in the mornings. There are no schedules or maps to help you with that. The amenities in the bathroom are fine – but again, perhaps based on social media, you would expect more. Full disclosure – we went to the Belmond before we arrived here, and that is one of the best properties I’ve ever stayed at - so maybe this isn’t the most fair comparison."
