Our experience at Akelarre was absolutely perfect. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and outstanding professionalism. The room offered a breathtaking view of the ocean, with comfort and elegance that exceeded all our expectations. The dinner at Bistrot Oteiza was the cherry on top. Each dish was a true tribute to Basque cuisine, combining authenticity and creativity. The impeccable service and the welcoming atmosphere of the bistro made this evening truly memorable. A big thank you to the entire team for making our stay so special. We will definitely be back!

RACIST!!!!I had high expectations when I visited this hotel, but my experience was overshadowed by behavior that felt unwelcoming and discriminatory. Upon arrival, I needed to use the restroom and politely asked for directions. Instead of providing assistance, I was asked, “Are you staying at the hotel?” in a tone that felt unnecessary and accusatory. Later, during our meal, the sommelier’s “Ciro” behavior left much to be desired. Unlike other tables, where he took time to explain and introduce the wines, he barely acknowledged us. When I inquired about the wine we had ordered, his curt response was, “I thought the waiter already told you,” accompanied by an eye roll. This dismissive attitude was in stark contrast to the attentive service provided to other diners. For an establishment of this caliber, I expected inclusive, professional, and respectful treatment. Instead, I left feeling deeply disappointed and unwelcome. A Michelin rating should not only reflect the quality of food but also the quality of service and respect for all guests.

Akellare is among the nicest properties I have had the grateful opportunity to visit over a full lifetime of travel. It's architectural character is itself a stunning fit to its environment, but the architectural restraint featuring the property's landscape, allowing and yielding to Atlantic views framed across the Basque country seaside is brilliant in all ways, sight, smell, sound and touch. Akellare allowed me to feel the quiet, and its correspondent peace. The staff at Akellare are sincerely warm, kind, attentive to any and all needs making me feel not only cared for, but wanted. And the restaurants need no comment beyond their historic acclaim, other than to say the dining surpassed even those highly lauded expectations. Akellare is a pinnacle experience, there is none like it. My sincerest thanks and appreciation to the Akellare staff, all of them, for creating such a special experience, and to Relaiscand Chateaux for helping to bring that magic to reach around the world.

We loved our time at Akelarre and hope to return. The location and the views are spectacular. The hotel staff were very professional and thoughtful -- helping us to plan activities in the area. The hotel design and overall aesthetic is beautiful including the rooms. We ate at the hotel several times -- the service and food were outstanding with many options of regional food and fresh/local ingredients.

Excellent attention, except in room service where they lack to satisfy simple requests such expanding their short-sided menu with items from their restaurant (though sharing the same kitchen).
