Hotel terbaik di Valdecilla

What a treat, my husband booked 2 nights here to spoil me after an 8 hour drive across Spain from Alicante province to the ferry from Santander. The hotel is only 15-20 minutes from the ferry so a great stop over for travellers. Receptionists were friendly and helpful, we checked in and then parked underground. The buildings are quite spectacular and everything inside was extremely clean and well maintained. The room was good, bath and shower in the en-suite. Small fridge but no tea/coffee making facilities sadly. The thermal spa pool was wonderful, we booked access along with the accommodation, definitely worth it. There were also many treatments and extras available- we were happy with the pool. 2 nights was perfect, we got to explore Solares, and eat out in a local restaurant. Breakfast at the hotel was perfect - plenty of choice from the buffet and also options to order ‘cooked’ breakfast and omelettes - the coffee machine was the only negative - a pain to use and took a while to work it out, by second day we had it sussed.

We booked the apartments which are by the main hotel. The apartment was very clean, spacious and had everything we needed as a family of 4. We had a massive queen sized bed in main bedroom, with a separate room sort of bunk beds, as the bed pulled out from under the other so alot better than bunk style. Bed were so comfy and clean. The bathroom had a shower and a spa bath (kids loved this). Our room had robes to use for the spa and plenty of spare towels if needed. We hired a car as I did my research before we went as around 15minutes drive to beach which is stunning and a surfers paradise. 20minute drive to the local nature park which I highly recommend, with cable cars and full of all types of wildlife. Defiantly need a car to get round all the areas as I think it's 750 acres of park. The local luna supermarket had everything we needed as we stayed bed & breakfast. The breakfast was lovely, you need to ask for eggs, sausage & bacon as not self served as cooked fresh and pancakes too. But they offer continental style, lots of fruit, yummy cakes and croissants, variety of breads with a toaster, yogarts and fresh squeezed orange juice. The Spa in apartments was lovely, Our boys wanted to be in there everyday but could do a slight revamp in some parts. We went into the hotel spa which is amazing, so much to do in there with sauna, various jacuzzis styles, hottubs but after 7pm no children as adults only. It's a small village so not much to do here but very peaceful and the views from our Appartment were stunning mountain views. The staff were lovely and helpful throughout our stay. The only downside I would say is there do have parties of various styles at the hotel which we wasn't told about but we didn't mind as went for a drive out & explored the area. Would recommend as a true Spanish relaxation get away. We would recommend 👌

La verdad es que llevamos más de 10 años alojándonos algún fin de semana al año allí. Principalmente para desconectar. En estos años han ido cambiando cosas, a mejor y a peor… pero esta última vez, me ha sorprendido bastante los últimos cambios. Hemos notado que han cambiado la cantidad (en la cena) y calidad (en el desayuno) del bufet. Por ejemplo, en el desayuno ya no tienen la máquina de zumo recién exprimido, que a mi parecer era primordial. El café de la máquina… pues como cualquier café de máquina… pero eso nunca ha estado bueno, la verdad. En la cena, han reducido visiblemente la carta. Cabe destacar, que la calidad es buena y esta muy rico. Cada vez tienen más eventos por lo que es muy probable que coincidas con una boda (por ejemplo), lo que hace que se vea mucha gente por el hotel. También han introducido más cosas para disfrutar en familia. Y los horarios del spa me parecen acertados. Aunque no hay nadie que se asegure de que se cumplan, y te puede pasar como a mí, que el horario de adultos había una familia jugando con un niño … El wifi, ya hace años que lo cambiaron y la verdad es que si tienes intención de ver una película en un dispositivo, no lo intentes. Resumiendo un poco: Cosas positivas: - Camas cómodas - Habitaciones bien cuidadas, limpias - Amplio comedor (han ampliado con una cristalera, y es todo un acierto) - Comida rica. - Amabilidad del personal. Cosas negativas: - Cada vez más concurrido (sobre todo eventos, que es incompatible con el descanso y desconexión) - Reducción de oferta gastronómica a la carta en la cena - Ya no hay zumo natural en desayuno. - Wifi lentísimo (solo para buscar algo en Google) En mi opinión, ya no cumple mi objetivo de desconexión, por lo que personalmente buscaremos otras opciones.
