Gränsö castle

Excellent place to visit for a spa getaway with your special partner. Fair prices, friendly staff and beautiful location. The spa includes multiple warm pools, saunas, a steam room, an ice bath, access to the sea, jacuzzis and more. Highly recommend visiting this resort!

This caste is the most luxurious place I’ve ever stayed in my life would happily go back as the experience was out of this world with very polite services and awesome food but the views are like nothing I’ve ever experienced before

The room was definitely the highlight of our stay. We enjoyed every bit of it and I really liked the fact that they had a Marshall bluetooth speaker in the room. As you can see from the images and the video. It's definitely a top tier Suite. They also have a floating sauna which was also good and a terrace with seating to have a complete view of the surrounding.nnThe customer service provided by the staff was also excellent apart from one person who served us at the bar and didn't even get us water while we ate. The sandwiches at the bar were also great. But unfortunately this is where the positives end.nnThe location is good but the beach is not right out of the hotel. There's a lot of green seaweed in the water that the hotel is facing. Not that appealing to dive into. No beach sand but just pebbles and rocks around.nnThe breakfast spread was below average compared to all the other hotels I've been to. Some of the bread served there wasn't fresh and felt hard and dry. The waffle maker looked like it was never cleaned since it was bought. The waffle that it would make didn't even look like waffles. On a positive note though. I did report this and they said they would make changes. So, I really hope they do.nnThe dinner was good but for a hotel of this standard I would expect great food.nThe appetizers were good, my wife and I both liked it. The crawfish soup was flavorful and her beef was tender and delicious. The main course was no different. We enjoyed the main course over the appetizers and they were delicious. Unfortunately, I cant say the same for the desserts. These were disappointing. The raspberry soup was just meh and the strawberry dessert was just OK. I've had better desserts at similar kinds of hotels.nnThis is a pet peeve for me but I think for the cost of staying here they should offer free AC car charging. I have been to similar kinds of Hotels and they offer free car charging at around 3kwh. At least this should be offered for people who book the suites and above.nnI would have recommended this hotel if they had great food and an average room but unfortunately they have focused too much on the quality of the room and forgotten about the quality of the food. If I would choose I would rather stay at a hotel with an OK room but great food than a hotel with a great room but OK food.nnSo unfortunately I wouldn't recommend this hotel if you are looking for a balanced experience.

Great experience across the board. The restaurant exceeded our expectations as well, high quality cooking and generous portions. Interesting and reasonably priced wine selection / cellar as well. Can definitely recommend.
