Hotels near Gandilandia Parque de Atracciones, Grau I Platja

My main issue with this hotel is that it gives an entirely false image of itself on hotel booking sites. We picked it based on the pictures of its pool area and grounds. The images give the impression that it's a larger and a more chic hotel than it actually is. It's a no frills hotel, and that's fine if that's what you know you're getting. And it was not the cheapest option either. The location is good, just three streets from the beach, and it was clean but the breakfast is basic and not very appealing. Not worth booking in for breakfast. It says that it has a gym, it does not. It claims to have poolside parasols, well at one end of the site it does but actually by the sun loungers it's bare and exposed and nothing to help shade you - not great when it's hitting 40. It also claims to have a garden - again it does not - it has a couple of planters with a couple of palm trees. The room we had was basic but fairly clean. The bathroom lacks shelving and towel hooks, so not very practical for a family - there's little space to hang up wet swim stuff or put your toiletries. Also, be aware that if you have small children there is not a separate pool - there is a shallow section at the end of the main pool and it's not very large so again not the most practical space and it gets very busy. Twice I raised the difference from the booking site information and the reality with the reception - but all I got was first, someone being rude and the second time someone just looking embarrassed! If you are looking for a basic space to just sleep in while you explore Gandia, and you get it at a reasonable price, then fine. However, if you want a hotel you can hang out in then I would avoid it.

One of my sons and I stayed in this hotel for 7 nights in June. It is a hotel mostly visited by spanish guests, we saw and talked to a french couple, but other than that spanish families and elderly couples. The highlight of the hotel would be in my opinion the food. It was excellent: fish everyday, salads, mexican food, indian food, paella, humus, fruits, they also had soya milk or free lactose milk. My birthday was in one of the days spent there and they surprised my with champaigne and a small cake. I really appreciated this gesture, it was very thoughtful of them. Muchas gracias! The room we received was on the first floor, facing the pool and the parking lot, with 2 huge beds. Clean and cleaned every day. The hotel is about 3 minutes walk from the beach. I have seen sandy beaches before, but smaller, this was really large and with smooth sand. What I didn't like at all was that the other guests with kids didn't care that their kids were really loud, screaming at any time of day and night, of course this was not the fault of the hotel, but maybe they could have been reminded that they were not alone in the hotel. What I would recommend is that they think of some entertainment for the middle aged guests as well, now it seems to be done only for the kids and for seniors. All in all it was a really nice stay and I would go back.

Hotel Cibeles provided the perfect stay for our week in Gandia, where there is much to do & we kept busy in town, enjoyed the local beaches & visited Valencia by train. The hotel has a smart exterior & looks great lit up in the evenings. The pretty reception vestibule leads to a lovely poolside terrace & bar, or a sweeping stairway to the dining room. The rooms are a fair size & have great balconies. We ate good breakfasts there, & had our dinners out as there are plenty of fun restaurants a stroll away. Gandia beach is also walking distance & the pedestrian area comes to life in the evenings with shops & stalls. We had a car, & the hotel has a small underground carpark. The staff were a pleasure, & we would definitely stay there again!

Great hotel, good food, good service, excellent location and amazing beach!! For sure we will go back next year. The hotel in itself is great. We booked a suite with garden and it was perfect. Pool is really nice, always have sunbeds available, not very crowded. They provide you with towels. We stayed for almost 2 weeks and had full board. We were concerned about the food but it was perfect. Never got bored nor had the need to go eat outside of the hotel to get away. A lot of variety and always something to eat. The service at the restaurant was very good too. The best part is the beach, definitely amazing. The kids club is great and the animators take very good care of the kids. The bellboys are also VERY VERY NICE, always smiling and asking if you need something. If they were to be paid by number of smiles they would be millonaires! There is one thing that was a big disappointment. We went to the spa as we could leave the kid at the kids club for an hour and make the most. However, they do not have cabins for couples! In the hundreds of hotels I have travelled to across the globe it is the first time a hotel of this level does not have cabins for couples. It is a pity as due to that we did not use the message service of the spa. The location is very calm with nothing nearby, so it is great to relax but boring if you want loads of life outside of the hotel. We will go back next summer!!

I can´t even begin to say enough good things about our stay at La Galiana. From the moment we arrived, the service was impeccable – reception, pool bar, the restaurant . . . everyone was so attentive and seemed to love their work. The hotel itself is beautifully located at the top of a mountain, the design is perfect, attention to every small detail. Beautiful furniture, warm inviting wood and huge windows that make you feel like you are outside all the time. My room was beyond perfect with the a beautiful view of the garden, nice patio furniture on the private patio, a luxury. The bathroom was large and beautiful with both a bath tub and a shower that had an amazing water pressure and products from Rituals that I really like ! The spa was a special chapter – my massage was perfect, so was the sauna. I did not use the gym as we spent all mornings at the golf course but everything was so well organized and beautiful. The golf course is amazing – very challenging to say the least. The surroundings and the design makes this golf course unique, definitely the best I have ever played. Looking very much forward to come back to La Galiana, We noticed that they are building a new club house which will be the perfect addition to this already . . . almost perfect place. To the staff a La Galiana - you could not have done anything else to make our stay memorable. There are good hotels and well designed golf courses all over the world – it is people like you that make the difference between very good stay and perfect stay ! TAKK FYRIR OKKUR !

This is not what I expect from a 4-star hotel. Why would I recommend the Cullera Holiday? Because Cullera only has 2 half decent hotels and this is one of them. - The finish is poor. - There are no toiletries like comb, cotton buds, hair conditioner, etc. -The fridge switches off when you take your key card and go out; hopeless! - The pillows are foam and there is only 1 additional pillow in the room. - There are no blankets. - My room was cancelled at Midday on my day of arrival as they had over-booked even though I had already done an online checkin a few days earlier. But I then received a call at 3pm advising a room had become available. - Soundproofing between rooms is non-existent. - There were no in-room coffee facilities and all that was provided was 1 carton of water. I’m actually struggling to find something positive to say but can’t. I didn’t use any of the facilities like pool or restaurant. Would I return? If I had to. As I said, Cullera only has 2 half-decent hotels.

This is one of the most beautiful hotels we have ever stayed in. It is the perfect mixture of Spanish architecture and interiors and all the most modern comforts you could wish for. Perfectly maintained in every corner. Lovely staff, efficient, friendly and very helpful. However we found the dinner very disappointing. The menus are old and faded! Very had to read. Starters had some strange combinations. We ordered the fish, and my husband’s had to be replaced. Delicious puddings though. The breakfast in the morning was excellent with a really great choice, lovely eating it outside on the terrace with lovely views of the mountains. Such a really lovely hotel in the middle of spectacular mountains with a view right down to the coast seems to be let down by some of the cooking!
