Cap Rocat
$700-1500+/ natt
Boka detta om You want to live out a James Bond villain fantasy in a secluded military fortress with zero kids around.
Varför människor älskar det
- The dramatic architecture carved directly into the sandstone cliffs
- Breakfast hampers delivered to your private terrace every morning
- The 'Sentinel' suites with private infinity pools cut into the rock face
Snabb Överblick: It's undeniably spectacular, but you're paying a fortune to sleep in a cave that might smell a bit like one.
Recenserat av @livitiffany: I felt like actual royalty staying here. Riding the buggy through the fortress walls to dinner was unforgettable, and that sunset over the bay with a glass of rosé? Easily the most romantic evening of my life. You have to experience this at least once.

Renlighet & Underhåll
8.5
- Housekeeping: Generally excellent twice-daily service, but some reports of dust in stone crevices.
- Bathroom hygiene: High standard, but grout in 'cave' rooms can struggle with the humidity.
- Maintenance: The historic nature of the building means occasional peeling paint or salt damage is visible.
- Linens & towels: Top-tier, plush and plentiful.
- Odors & scents: The biggest issue: a persistent musty/damp smell in lower-level rooms due to the rock construction.
