The Hotel its self was amazing. Our room was very lovely and the cleaning of the room was great. There was only 2 things that let it down, the Mediterranean restaurant and the bar. The service in the Mediterranean restaurant was not what I would expect from a 5 star hotel. The bar we had to wait 40 minutes for a drink. On the other hand the service we received from the Italian restaurant was fantastic, you would of thought you were in a different hotel. This doesn't take it away that the hotel is fantastic and looking forward to return in the future.

The hotel spotless and fully staffed . The hotel is beautiful and rooms to a high standard . Had it not been for a huge disappointment of not getting as advertised garden view would rate higher . The junior suite with garden view is a view of the reception canopy and a noisy road . Unhappy was shown another room one floor above same view . After a stale mate had to pay €300 to get a quite acceptable view . This was a lot lot more than if I had booked the Mountain View with Expedia . Felt ripped off and marred my holiday . Had advised Expedia after submitting how was check in. With reception badgering me 3 times to change review and going over same disagreement ( see pic of room with suppose garden view

A Truly Magical Stay at Hotel Botánico

From the moment we arrived at Hotel Botánico, we knew we were in for something extraordinary. Nestled in lush gardens and surrounded by serene views, this hotel isn’t just a place to stay—it’s an experience that indulges every sense. The service was impeccable. Every member of the staff greeted us with warmth and genuine hospitality. From the front desk to housekeeping and restaurant servers, the level of care and attention made us feel like honored guests throughout our stay. Our room was a haven of comfort and elegance, complete with a private balcony that offered breathtaking views of the spa. Every detail—from the plush bedding to the fragrant white company toiletries—reflected the hotel's commitment to luxury and relaxation. One of the standout highlights was the Oriental Spa Garden. We’ve never experienced a spa like it. The tranquility, the beautifully landscaped surroundings, and the variety of treatments left us feeling completely rejuvenated. It’s worth a visit to the hotel for the spa alone! Our stay at Hotel Botánico was unforgettable and we can’t wait to return

BEST HOTEL WE’VE EVER STAYED IN!

ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS, we would go again in a heartbeat! Best hotel for service and facilities. I’d like to see some free exercise yoga pilates classes offered in the Spa rather than paying for them. The treatments are pricey too but rest of Spa was wonderful! Esp the hidden cave hot tub that we found on last day! Such a pleasure to chat to the staff and they were not at all stuffy. As an avid birdwatcher the botanical gardens were to die for! New species at every turn as well as the flowers, plants & bonsai trees - workshop on these bonsai’s & flower arranging were brilliant :-)
