Hotel was much more elegant than expected. Breakfast was adequate, but coffee service could have been better. One coffee maker was broken. Had to stand in line for coffee.

Beautiful hotel overlooking the beach.
A wonderful hotel overlooking the beach. Lovely room with a side view of the sea. In a fabulous location. Staff were friendly and our room was spacious and immaculate.
In walking distance of the beach, bars and restaurants.
It is nice having a cafe attached to the hotel with outside seating where you can purchase drinks and snacks throughout the day.
Taxi rank right outside to take you easily to the ferry side of Santander as it was a bit of a walk.
Couldn’t fault the hotel and would stay again and recommend.

Lovely hotel in a perfect location.
We have stayed here many times. It is so convenient for the beach and restaurants and only a 6 euro taxi drive into Santander. Everyone is really friendly and the hotel restaurant and cafe bar are great. The resort is really Spanish which we love.
