Charged over 5 euros for one slice of bread which was described as bread basket With a lot of trouble we were anke to Rebe the second slice

Nice hotel with lovely gardens. It was very hot & humid when we stayed but they have a pool. We had an excellent dinner in the very nice dining.room. A 5 course tasting menu. We would have eaten on the terrace but it was too hot.

Fabulous stay

The check in was fabulous and we had a lovely room (Room 1) that actually has a kettle! We had a terrace with views of Xativa Castle and also the town and valley, all framed by pine and cypress trees. Deb had injured her knee so was able to sit on the terrace, read her book and chill as we watched the sunset. We had breakfast both mornings at the hotel and the breakfast was fabulous and we ate far too much delicious food. After breakfast I had a wander around the grounds. The views really were spectacular, especially with the early morning mist, and you could see sections of the town walls stretching from the valley up to the castle.
We ate one dinner in the hotel as Deb had already perused the menu, although I was somewhat sceptical. There were weird things like sea urchin, pig's ear, lamb gizzards and duck liver but I opted for sea bass and Deb had rabbit lasagna. The food was just magnificent. Right from the bread and olive oil, with the type of oil and its characteristics being explained to the main course and desserts there was nothing I could improve upon. I had two desserts - a cheesecake and a hazelnut mousse and both were fabulous. We left feeling full but not bloated, a lovely way to round off Deb's birthday.
Our room was fabulously quiet, service throughout the hotel was impeccable, the room had modern heating/cooling if needed and a modern bathroom. There was a lovely seating area with panoramic views as well as a private terrace and there was plenty of pa

Pros:
- Staff were very friendly and welcoming.
- Room was very clean, spacious and nicely decorated. We had a lovely view from the terrace of the castle.
- Pretty location surrounded by nature.
- Walking distance to castle and town.
- Free parking.

Cons:
- Bathroom had a strong drain/sewage smell after using shower and sink. Window is difficult to open as it’s very high up.
- Pool was not open during our stay (February) which we were aware of during the booking process but I would say that it looked quite underwhelming.
- We booked a table for dinner at the hotel restaurant noting that they had paella on the menu (we don’t eat meat but everything else). When we sat down at 8.30pm, the waiter said that they don’t ‘normally serve rice in the evening’, so immediately our options were very limited as the menu is very meat heavy. The restaurant is only open between 8.30-10pm so it was too late to go anywhere else. We ordered the only two fish main dishes on the menu, as they were also out of the red tuna starter. Both dishes were very underwhelming and over priced. They were luke warm at best and one of them was completely raw / inedible. The dessert was also awful. The only other table in the restaurant also had issues with their food and sent it back. The waiter was really apologetic but the chef was obviously having a bad night. The hotel kindly removed some of the cost of this meal as a result.
Overall: nice hotel with potential to be better, but restaurant lets it down.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Mont Sant! The photos do not do it justice. The rooms are spread out and situated within lush foliage (bamboo, fruit trees, flowers, ferns, and much more) so that they seem very private and secluded. The hotel sits part way up a large incline that leads to a castle fortress. You can walk or bike the path to the castle (recommend sneakers and water) or drive. The castle lies along a self-guided walking path that continues down the incline, past the hotel, and down into the city. There are guideposts along the way with interesting formation about local historical sites. The hotel itself is beautiful and offers gorgeous views overlooking the city. If you want to go down into the city, I do recommend driving or getting a cab, however, as it is not that close to restaurants and shopping. We ended up eating at the hotel for breakfast and diner each day. Breakfast was a lovely buffet in a pretty, quiet glassed-in room. We had dinner out on the patio at the restaurant and had zero complaints - everything was very tasty! There is a lovely pool on site as well with several lounge chairs - it never got crowded while we were there. The staff was extremely pleasant and helpful. The WiFi worked well and the rooms were clean, with nice shower facilities. Overall,no complaints and one of our favorite stays on our trip

It is very calm and peaceful and popular. Placed slightly up the hill it can get wearing walking into town. The restaurant is very popular and for good reason. Do book in advance. They had two big parties in the marquees but I didn’t even notice. All the guests are very well behaved and the rooms very private and I often felt I was the only one there. One thing that would have improved it for me is a small room, a reading room or something where I could have had a coffee and read a book. If it had been warmer and sunny it would have been easy to find a place on the many terraces outside but it wasn’t and inside all tables were taken for lunch, I said it was popular! I was there in February so it’s probably not a common request. It’s a really nice gentle hotel which takes pride in its uniqueness.

A pleasant stay with wonderful staff

Staff at reception were very friendly and helpful. Nothing was any trouble for them.
We found the rooms we stayed in a little dark but they were comfortable and the air conditioning was great.
Breakfast was ok- you had to help yourself and the hot food was lukewarm at best.
The landscaping around the hotel was beautiful but would have been difficult to navigate for anyone with mobility problems.

Too few staff, purchasing water or a drink outside of mealtimes was not possible and with an empty minibar.

DO NOT GO HERE AT THE WEEKEND!

We had a three night stay from Thursday to Sunday. We had an email to say that there would be \"celebrations\" on Friday and Saturday that would end at mid-night and that our room was far enough away that it would not be affected.
The intolerably loud music BEGAN at 11pm on Friday night and continued until 3am on Saturday morning. It began again around 3pm on Saturday and continued until 11pm. Definitely NOT a relaxing stay.
We spoke with other guests of various nationalities all of whom shared our discontent.
We registered our complaint at reception and we were told that the email warning us that the noise ended at mid-night was a mistake. He was full of apologies and spoke to the manager. Who obviously did not feel it was worth speaking to us in person. We were given a discount on our meal bill which amounted to 30 euros!
The buffet breakfast fell far short of the standard expected of a four star hotel.
The pool had obviously not been cleaned for some time and the area around it was frankly a mess.

Excellent hotel with nothing to complaint about

We thoroughly enjoyed the stay. Beautiful location and a very nice hotel. If you are looking for some tranquility and like being surrounded by nature (orange, lemon, grapefruit and other palm trees) thats the place to go. Rooms (Cabanas) were spacious and reasonably tidy, nice terrace, really nice buffet style breakfast with great variety of products. Service top-notch, to the point where when the Mrs had a wasp flying close to her the waiter shooed it away :) . Excellent views at night, the castle is beautifully lit and there are plenty of quiet spots to have a glass of wine and enjoy the views. Highly recommended, you wont be dissapointed

Le personnel est agréable, souriant et aux petits soins.
Le buffet du petit déjeuner est comieux et varié.
