Great location overlooking the beach, superb view of fireworks. Lovely coastal walks. Hotel is nice and most staff went out of their way to be helpful but a few were unwelcoming. Hotel pool was always full with no sun loungers available but it was July.

Wonderful staff, accomodated a wine bucket, glasses, & cork screw for our room for the Rioja we picked up the day before. They stored our luggage while we walked along the beach promanade after checkout. The parking under the hotel is very convenient. Breakfast was wonderful!

Great location and superb view of the Bay of Santander from the sea view rooms. Interior looking a bit untidy in places and breakfast room wasn’t great. Deposits needed for everything like pool towels, in room safe etc etc.

The hotel has a lovely infinity pool overlooking the sea, it lacks a pool bar area as there is nowhere to get a drink when you are sunbathing. Service in the evening for drinks was a bit slow but the staff are pleasant & it’s good value for money. Didn’t have breakfast or dinner but ate at a locally instead. Excellent value for money.

Really nice area with supermarkets, restaurants and beaches but is a little bit of a walk/bus ride into the city. The balcony had stunning views. Bathroom was a little run down and the pool opening hours weren’t the best didn’t open till 11am. Overall a really good stay and the staff great.

This hotel somehow got ahold of my credit card information and decided to charge me for two nights which I didn't stay at those times. When calling hotel directly, they were extremely difficult to deal with. Never got my money back for nights I never stayed.
