Property is dated but clean. Very sparse in decor, no pictures on the wall. The location is good and convenient to the beach. We purchased the Full Board option but the food was pretty gross and the fact you have assigned times to eat felt very limiting. It wasn't ideal to plan our day around when we could eat. We ended up not eating there but there is an excellent restaurant just steps away. Overall, I'd give the property a 3.5 out of 5. Staff weren't very friendly or helpful. I don't think we'd return b/c it is was very loud with music going well into the night.

Short family stay
It was very clean and like new, and the room service was great. But there was a refrigerator in the room that was not working purposely, as they said it could only be used for a cooler. There was no ice, and you can’t drink the tap water, they wanted you to buy your drinking water! Insane! Also, there was no parking, and we had to park 2 miles away from the hotel to find street parking. The beach is very nice, and more quiet then the southern part, the water is prettier also. I wouldn’t stay again, Too much of a hassle with kids.

Lots of amenities! Right across the beach, you can hear the waves from your room. There’s a spa, there’s umbrella/chairs on the beach that you can pay for, a pool (indoor and out), food within hotel and a few independent restaurants near. staff is great, food for lunch/dinner is OK in my opinion but breakfast is pretty good. Regardless, their buffet options are pretty large and can accommodate any diet (vegetarian, gluten free….)

Sólo para familias
Es un hotel viejo mucho más orientado a las vacaciones familiares por lo cual está muy grande y con mucha gente. No tiene nada memorable. El cuarto aunque amplio y limpio tenía problema de almohadas ya que sólo hay una almohada grande para la cama lo que es bastante incómodo. Camas duras. No cuentan con servicio de toallas para la playa, son con un costo extra. Desayuno suficiente para cantidad de gente que maneja el hotel pero nada especial.

Fantastic location
We decided to have a short break away from home and chose Pensicola - mainly because of being at the beach but also because of the connection to the film 'El Cid' - husband is a film geek. The facilities of the hotel were great, especially the outside swimming pool. We have a 5 and 6 year old who thoroughly enjoyed their days, I also think they entertained the other guests who were of a more mature age bracket. Everything about our break was great and would highly recommend to everyone.

Good for families/kids,but avoid full-board buffet
The location right on the Peniscola beach and the very nice pool area makes this an ideal family resort hotel, and it also seemed to offer a lot of activities for smaller children and shows every night. Our family, w 15-year daughter, were only making a one-night stop on our car ride from Alicante to Barcelona, so we did not expect to make use of any facilities. Rooms are quite standard, fairly large and tidy, with a balcony, either facing the pool area and/or the beach. Staff was OK, but never get personal in a hotel of this size. The only negative about this hotel, in our opinion, was the food. We had a very affordable price including full-board, so we made use of the included dinner, which was a buffe in the huge and not very cosy restaurant. This buffe was really a bad experience, whatever dish we tried, it did taste like... nothing. The breakfast was OK, but nothing more So enjoy sun, bath and children's activities in this hotel's pool area or on the beach just a few steps away, but avoid the full-board, ad try some of the nice restaurants nearby on the nice beach walk of Peniscola!

Ha sido la tercera vez que nos alojábamos aquí y no será la última. A destacar la cantidad de actividades de ocio que proponen (especialmente, para lxs peques) y el trato perfecto que tuvieron con una intolerancia alimentaria. ¡Gracias! Por poner un pero, quizás podrían pensar en invertir en renovar el gimnasio, pero aún así es un lujo contar con él y el horario de acceso al mismo es muy amplio.
