Juan de la Cosa

We stayed for a week as we were on a coach trip, very big room with a sea view. It was actually an apartment with a comfy double (BIG of king ) bed. Only thing is the room is looking north so cool at times. But the helpful staff gave us a heater. Could have done with some UK tv. Food was very good and the hotel was clean, in fact there were loads of cleaners working hard during the daytime. if in the area again I would be happy to stay there again.

Fantastic location on a glorious beach but isolated from other bars and restaurants. Unfortunately we were served 'special' food for Saga guests. This meant no complete fish as apparently we can't be expected to cope with fish heads or bones....Needless to say, in this glorious region of seafood we were not given lobster or crab, despite these being available in tanks in reception. We chose this holiday partly for the excellent food reviews!|We had a free standing a/c unit. We asked for this to be removed when rain was coming in by the pipe outlet. It then became apparent that the whole window was leaking. When the weather turned cold and the heating came on, we realised the radiator in the bedroom was not working. |We had been sitting out on the patio with another couple one day. A couple of days later, they told us they had seen a slab of concrete fall off the side on the hotel, right onto the spot where we had been sitting. This was cleared up but no warnings put out.|So, I can't in all honesty recommend this hotel. I think Spanish people have a better food experience but the hotel desperately needs work done.

The hotel is on a quiet beach and beautifully situated. A ticket to Santona was free (but not much there)and we had a day trip to Santander which was good. The food was very good with tapas lunches and waiter service three courses at dinner. The hotel was a bit tired, the air con was non existent and when the weather turned (as it can in mid September) it was cold in the bedroom. Otherwise the bedroom was spacious and had the usual amenities. We didn't try the indoor pool in the basement

Location is great and place is nice, not too old and not too modern tho, but kept in good shape, but moskitos made our stay miserable, we couldn’t sleep, so many of them in the room and they kept biting. The room itself is filled with moskitos stains as I got it people fight with them constantly. I know it is something uncontrollable but as we have been here mid October, it was unexpected to us. If we knew we would buy some anti moskitos stuff.

This traditional Spanish hotel is run by a lady who cares so much she leaves a form on the first day where you can fill in whatever you need to improve the room - I asked for another pillow and some decaf coffee and got both. Our rep describes the hotel as a restaurant with rooms. Rooms vary enormously. The sea view rooms have amazing views and face north which can be a good thing. the rooms at the front of the hotel overlook the minor main road and have sun all day. the sea view from the side sea view rooms are really good too. Pros: Right on the most lovely long beach. Food is absolutely exceptional. The restaurant is beautifully appointed, light and airy. At lunch the tapas are divine. Breakfast is hot and cold , fresh and varied.Wonderful bread and superb coffee. Do try the green tomatoes - they are delicious. Lovely public room on the top floor with sea views and balconies and comfy chairs. Delightful. All the staff are so, so friendly and helpful. Rooms are very clean and I had no sign of any insect. Lovely indoor swimming pool. Buses from almost outside the hotel . Cons: The air conditioning is only in some rooms (?) and not always effective if it is very hot. Some rooms have an additional free standing air conditioner which is loud but very effective. A word of warning: Avoid room 231. It is a small room but most importantly half the window has a large wooden panel obscuring most of the view. It also has a free standing air conditioner which feeds out through the window so another strip of window is obscured. Not a pleasant room. Avoid this room and you will have the most wonderful time here.

The hotel staff was wonderful. We were a camp and even though the kids were a bit naughty, the staff was so patient, comprehensive and accommodating with us. The kitchen staff is awesome, worth the visit just for their lemon mousse, which I can confidently say it's the best in the world. If you go, order it, it's absolutely worthy.

Our hotel for seven nights with GB tours, we had a sea view and a really nice, spacious apartment. We were comfortable, tea tray and water provided. Not happy with the cleaner washing the tea cups in the bathroom.|The weather was not the best for May, very windy but we enjoyed watching the surfers.|The hotel is some distance away from the town of Santona and the buses were unreliable, poor taxi service too, so the trips out by coach were very welcome.|We had a good choice from the menu each day and enjoyed the food with some unusual offerings. Gluten free was a bit of a problem but we managed. |Saga uses this hotel and we happily joined in the talks and entertainment, thanks to Belen and her help with our unfortunate hospital visit.|All staff were helpful and cheerful and seemed pleased to have us staying there. |

Our 5th visit to this hotel, but, all other visits have been in September|We thought June would be similar weather but it was very variable however, a very good holiday in a hotel that caters for the older generation|We travelled with Saga who have a very friendly rep Belen who goes out of her way to assist in all aspects of the holiday|The food is excellent with lots of fish for dinner if that is your preference. Lunch tapas is excellent too and, if there is nothing that you fancy in the choices, the sandwiches are superb|We opted for sea view with living room and expected a balcony but there are none in any Saga room the air con did not work and on hot nights the west facing wall was like a large radiator , the hotel supplied a portable air con which helped a bit|Avoid room 201 if hot weather is forecast

What a wonderful restaurant. Have been following their food on Instagram for a few years and finally had the opportunity to have a proper comida. Rabas (squid) Pochas (seasonal beans) and Rodaballo ( a local white fish). Classic understated dining room with a beautiful view, great service, excellent food and fair prices. Even the bus load of retired English tourists murdering the Spanish language was taken in stride by the talented staff.
