Tripplo's verdict, based on guest reviews
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 11 September 2026 · How we review hotels
Lovers of historic design seeking absolute privacy will appreciate Cap Rocat's fortress-like seclusion. Key highlights include exceptionally personal service and a calm, adults-only atmosphere. However, because of the historic structure, some rooms can feel a little damp, and there is no sandy beach directly outside the property.
Guests score it 8.2 out of 10 — the average across the 54 hotels we list in Mallorca is 9.1.
What Guests Loved
- You’ll be staying in a spectacular 19th-century military fortress carved straight into the rock. From the sea it’s almost invisible, and you move around via old moats and atmospheric passageways. The most exclusive suites occupy former cannon positions, offering a level of privacy that’s genuinely hard to come by around the Mediterranean – ideal if you’re after peace and quiet.
- Breakfast is a firm favourite: there’s no buffet, just a beautifully prepared picnic hamper delivered to your terrace, filled with local treats, fresh bread and juice.
Things to Consider
- Its remote setting means longer journeys into Palma and to other restaurants. You may find yourself relying on the hotel’s dining, which can start to feel a touch limited on longer stays.
- Because the hotel is built into sandstone and a number of rooms sit partly below ground, a few guests notice humidity and a faint “cellar” scent. If you’re sensitive to that, it’s worth requesting a room above ground level.
Should you book it?
Cap Rocat is worth booking for adults wanting a quiet escape from busy family resorts — but pick somewhere else if you want a sandy beach directly outside your hotel.

Reviews from Google“We had a lovely experience in one of the centinelas! Impeccable service, highest quality food in all restaurants and areas.! Amazing view, overall 10/10. Room service also fantastic Improvement: Buggys need to work more flawlessly, especially for hotel guests. Floor in the rooms, despite being difficult, need to be cleaned better. After 1‘ you have black feet. Doors need to be renovated to the balcony.”
“A hotel with a mood. Must visit. Fantastic staff who are seemingly everywhere just when you need them. Dinners and lunches at both restaurants were out of this world. Breakfast left a little to be desired. Our room was a little dank. However the service, staff, the architecture and the views more than made up for it.”
“It’s our second trip to Cap Rocat this year. It’s the sun, the moon, and the stars. ⭐️🌙 I recognized its signature scent the moment we got in the car from the airport (take one of their complimentary candles home—you’ll understand). The fortress is formidable yet welcoming, private yet wonderfully unpretentious. It’s the perfect place for love, new ideas, inspiration, or simply disappearing off the grid for a few days. Wifi was fine for the writing working type. Mediterranean dining ON the sea divine. Strong spa game. Sleep comes easily here—the rooms feel like beautiful, peaceful dens. Jump off the cliffs, eat fresh fish, walk for hours, and let time slow down. I actually designed my home with this place in mind—soft places to land, sculpted topiary, weathered stone, natural textures, barefoot living, and an invitation to slow down.”
“I have been lucky enough to stay at amazing 5 star hotels like The Grace on Santorini, San Pietro di Positano, Palazzo Avino in Ravello and Can Simoneta in Mallorca. I feel like I know what a true 5 star stay is, food, service and rooms. Cap Rocat is not a 5 star hotel and let me explain why: unless you stay in the Suite Del Mar or the Sentinal suites, your room will have no window (still a suite and still about 2k a night). The room is like a damp cave with outdated fixtures and a plastic bath. The luxury you see on the pictures and on instagram is not true. Do not be duped like we were. The breakfast is sub par. The coffee is terrible. I am a breakfast and coffee person and was horrified by the spread, old fruit, bland pastries, no flare. If you’re paying wow factor prices, you should be given a wow factor experience. The food at the restaurants is not much better. Where is an amazing chef and attention to detail? The hotel its self is quiet and private but there are no views. The main bar feels lonely and small without a vista to look at and very quickly the stone walls start to feel oppressive. The instagram photos are mostly from the restaurant you’re not allowed into unless you’re paying for the set meal. On the whole this place is way overpriced and lacks attention to detail or the kind of luxury you’d expect when you're paying huge amounts per night. Plus the restaurants are lacking majorly. Go elsewhere. This needs to be reduced to a 4 star and drop their prices. Do not be fooled.”
“Very unique stay. Excellent stewardship of its historical roots as a fort and really good job integrating the resort within that space. Attentive service, strong ambience, especially at night when to torchlights are lit. Do keep in mind at you are staying in converted fortification - the layout and decor are not necessarily what you expect from a modern high-end resort. But we found it to be comfortable. The roof terrace and sunbeds are especially great. They bring breakfast to your room or Terrace.”
