The hype
The decor is jaw-dropping and the food is incredible, but the 'spa' is tiny and the service can be hit-or-miss.
Cave Hotel & Golf Resort
$230-400/ natt
Boka detta om You want a sexy, moody 'vibe' hotel where the dinner and drinks are the main event and the room is just for passing out in style.
Varför människor älskar det
- The 'Firepit' and 'Korean Cowgirl' restaurants are genuine destinations
- Dark, atmospheric interiors that feel like a high-end nightclub
- Golf course views from private balconies
Snabb Överblick: A visually stunning Instagram trap that prioritizes 'sexy' aesthetics over practical comfort—think thin walls and a spa that's basically a hallway.
Recenserat av @LauraEllz: I checked into the Cave Hotel for a romantic escape and was blown away. The room is dark and sexy, the bed is huge, and having champagne waiting on the desk was the perfect touch. Definitely a vibe.

Reality check
It's not a relaxation retreat; it's a party hotel with a golf course attached.
- You love a 'dark mode' aesthetic (walnut paneling, dim lighting)
- You're here for a boozy dinner and a crash pad
- You want a cool backdrop for your socials
Renlighet & Underhåll
8.5
- Housekeeping: Generally excellent daily service, though some guests report missed dust on the high shelves.
- Bathroom hygiene: Spotless stone and tile, though the dark grout hides a lot.
- Maintenance: Some wear and tear visible in hallways (scuffed paint) due to high traffic.
- Linens & towels: High-quality, fluffy towels and crisp sheets.
- Odors & scents: Signature 'Cave' scent (woody/spicy) pumped into the lobby; rooms smell fresh.

FAQ & Dolda tips
Allt du verkligen vill veta innan du bokar.
Is the pool worth it?
Barely. It's small, has no changing rooms, and feels more like a visual feature than a swimming spot.
Is it good for families?
Technically yes, but the vibe is very 'adults-only party'—dark corridors and loud music.
How much is the deposit?
They take a £150 pre-authorization on your card at check-in.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes, for a £50 fee per stay, but only in specific rooms.
Is there a dress code?
Smart casual. The crowd dresses up for dinner at Firepit.
Is parking free?
Yes, plenty of free self-parking on site.
Insider-tips
- ✨
The 'Cowgirl Lounge' is often quieter than the main bar if you want a drink without the crowd.
- ✨
Order the 'feasting platter' at Firepit—it's the best value item on the menu.
- ✨
If you're a light sleeper, ask for a fan from reception to drown out the building noise.
5 saker du bör veta innan du åker
💡The 'spa' is basically a glass box you walk past; everyone eating dinner can see you in your robe.
💡The lighting is so dim you might need your phone torch to find things in your suitcase.
💡There are no toilets in the pool area—you have to go back to your room or the lobby.
💡The 'golf resort' part feels separate; the hotel is very much its own enclosed bubble.
💡Room service adds a hefty tray charge, and the menu is limited compared to the restaurants.
