Hotels in de buurt van Punta parayas, Maliano

Having spent five weeks travelling throughout Spain, and having experienced first class welcome and service at every establishment from the smallest roadside cafe, to five star hotels and restaurants, we were extremely disappointed by the ”welcome” (or lack of!!) that we received when we arrived at the Gran Hotel. No eye contact from the male receptionist, a brusque, mumbled ”hello”, and even though my command of Spanish is far better than his of English, he insisted on trying to communicate in English. We were issued with key cards, absolutely no information given to us about facilities at hotel, eyebrow raising and pen tapping when I asked my husband which dining slots he'd prefer as they had to be pre-booked, and we even had to ask where the lift was - a pointed finger directed somewhere behind us and a sharply uttered ”there” were all we got. Room was adequate - nothing special and no extras. Cheap toiletries and an expensive minibar. Dinner in the restaurant was excellent and the staff were fabulous. It was a really excellent experience and the food was wonderful - very, very highly recommended. Another redeeming factor was breakfast the following morning which I must admit was first-class, apart from the female member of staff who was very hostile and unhelpful and barked at me to get out of the way so she could adjust the coffee machine which had developed a fault. In mitigation, she was run ragged as she seemed to be doing everything on her own, but was joined half way through by a very friendly and helpful male colleague which was a blessing. If only they could train their staff that they'll never get the opportunity again to make the best first impression, I'd have given this establishment 5 stars and we'd love to return, BUT, we really don't want to risk being greeted as a nuisance rather than a welcome and valued guest.

Lovely hotel, very well located in Santander with everything in walking distance. Immaculately clean, very nice rooms especially the superior doubles and the staff at reception were very helpful. There is a really nice breakfast room and a small bar, with a lovely outside area of seating. Unfortunately the aircon was off for the whole hotel (broken or switched off we didn't quite get to the bottom off) for the full stay and it was unseasonably very hot especially for the upper floors that caught the sun. To be fair we were compensated with a price reduction. Take care if you catch a taxi from the airport (c.E20) as we were all initially delivered to the wrong location as there are other hotels with similar names. Make sure you give the taxi driver a clear note of the name & full address. Overall a nice stay and we would go there again.

Castilla Termal a modern hotel that keeps the charm of the olden times in its beautiful architecture. My room was very cosy, with its classic decor in soft colours and very comfortable beds. I could see afar the motorway from my balcony across the gardens but there was absolutely no noise issue. One of the strong points of is the spa, which is a big facility with lots of space and the usual services. There were quite a few jets and the water temperature was really good. Breakfast is remarkable too, as the staff as well, very efficient and friendly.

Más que un hotel, un hogar donde aloj**** unos días. Trato exquisito, familiar y encantadores. Junto al comedor, un rincón de lectura y juegos para los niños. Música instrumental suave y muy agradable en los desayunos, detalle de bandas sonoras Disney para los niños. Los ventanales del comedor y del salón aportan mucha luz y un ambiente lleno de encanto. Detalles de muebles restaurados con un gusto exquisito. La habitación amplia y confortable, con aire acondicionado frío y calor. Ventanas térmicas, bañera tratada antideslizante. Neverita con agua sin cargo a la habitación. Hotel con piscina, pista de pádel y una grada con una explanada alargada para eventos variados. Un entorno muy agradable con párking privado, vigilado y cerrado. Nos hemos sentido como en casa. La tarde noche de llegada, pese a no dar cenas, les faltó tiempo para hacernos unos sándwiches. Nos cambiaron las entradas de Cabárceno, ya que nos habíamos equivocado de día.

We spent 2 nights in a double room with balcony along with our 20-month baby and the price-quality ratio is insurmountable: good room size, excellent cleaning, and have a detail on the day of exit :). I recommend breakfast buffet, where everything is home.
