Lovely sea (and tree) view, good size balcony with table and chairs. Secure parking on site. Really comfortable beds with high quality linen. Included high quality pastries at breakfast. Really good fixed price lunch included a whole bottle of wine for two. Great location - just a few steps to the beach. Really friendly and helpful staff, many thanks.

Nothing!

The location of the hotel is extraordinary, next to the beach with a cozy bay. The staff is very friendly. The parking lot is small, but free and it is always possible to find a free space. The furniture is a little outdated, but the quality of rest was not affected.

There is not much choice of food for breakfast.

The hotel itself was wonderful and the staff very helpful and welcoming. The view from our room was the best we have ever had from any hotel in the past.

However, we were NOT HAPPY with the distance from Santander airport. Booking.com mentioned 15miles from Santander airport, but in fact it was 48 miles away, resulting in a VERY expensive taxi ride. Not the fault of the hotel, but a very bad case of INACCURATE info by Booking.com

Fantastic location... right on the beach with amazing view, very good value for money. The restaurant/ bar were great with a wonderful patio. Breakfast was good and hotel offers free parking as well. Staff were very nice.

Nothing to note.

Right on the beach, with onsite free parking which considering we had 4 motorbikes was great.. we just piled them all in to 1 car bay. Checked in with no problems.. and the staff were great. A lift is available just behind the reception desk. Our rooms had a balcony which considering it was april was still nice and warm and able to sit outside with views across the beach. As it was out of season the restaurant was quiet but the food was good. Breakfast the next morning was plentiful with good coffee and attentive staff. checkout was 11am but they let us hang about and we actually checked out closer 12, so we had a couple of coffee's and some lunch then it was time to make our way to the ferry which took us about 40 mins.. which considering the nice warm day meant we had quite a relaxing day to wrap up our biking trip. If i do the trip again.. I'm booking this hotel.

Had it rained i would have liked the motorbikes in an underground or at least covered parking.. but it didn't so wasn't a concern Room decor was a little dated but it was all clean and tidy so not really an issue..

The apartment we were finally allocated. The location could not be surpassed. The helpfulness at reception was brilliant and the cleaning staff despite not speaking English were efficient and friendly.

Parking was a bit tight, but there were plenty of them.

We expected a cooked breakfast. It was described as buffet but it was Continental……. Maybe lost in translation but that’s the (minor) down. Otherwise everything was excellent.
