라 보바디야 어 로얄 하이드웨이 호텔

An absolutely wonderful stay at this traditional finca in the middle of nowhere! Everything was perfect from the minute we got there, from the massive pools (the photos don’t do the pool area justice) to the incredible room! We had a bbq on the first night (this would be good if the food was cooked to order as it wasn’t too warm and this could have been easily done) but the food overall was excellent. The pool staff were very attentive and the whole building was gorgeous. We would probably change the bar area to be a bit more welcoming but overall we really enjoyed our stay….

The art of an incredible hotel is one where you feel as if you’ve come home and yet you’ve had the most luxurious pampering of your life! Not easy to achieve and yet they manage it here - everything is classy and caters to your every need even those you didn’t know you had - best breakfast I have ever had in a hotel - world class offering in a wonderful setting - friendly spa with luxurious steam, sauna, hydro pool and warm beds - beautiful setting in a traditional finca style with an onsite chapel / meditation site (not consecrated) - superb pool area which is so relaxing with enough sunloungers to never worry about having to reserve one and a huge pool! There are flies here but this is common in any inland hotel in the region and I’m only mentioning it to manage expectations and still less than other places I’ve stayed at - beautiful stunning grounds with a turtle pool (yes really!), a herb garden with seats to relax in, lovely horses you can ride and pet if you don’t want to ride, electric bikes and hiking trails - lovely bar (I think this is my only thought that this area could perhaps do with a splash of colour but then that may detract from the relaxing nature of the building) a lovely touch was the complimentary cocktails - again you could choose any you wanted and not just an entry level - we particularly enjoyed the LB version of an aperol spritz with blood orange juice and are already planning to make it at home - fantastic Michelin star dining which deserves more than one star - friendly staff and Alfonso (?) the head wine waiter was excellent and knowledgable - the wine pairings were incredible with the tasting menu and changed, enriched and enhanced the flavours so that this was such a memorable part of our stay - even my husband who really struggles with fine dining experiences due to finding them overlong and stuffy enjoyed this immensely. We really hope we can one day return - it is expensive to stay here but so worth it if you want to treat yourself you will not be disappointed! Thank you so much from one LB to another for making our stay so special!
