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.

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.
