Hotels With Swimming Pools in Cantabria, Spain

Two nights in couple in this hotel where we found what we expected from the reviews we had seen. good quality/price ratio, check in and out simple and fast, gentle the receptionist, satisfactory cleaning and furniture, a little washing room but nothing bad, needs the car but parking is not a problem. the city centre is five minutes drive. there is no frigobar in the room and only one automatic distributor at the entrance

Just got back from a lovely 7 night stay at Hotel Bahia. We booked the holiday package through Brittany ferries. Our room on the 5th floor lovely and quite and had the most fantastic view looking out to the sea and mountains. The Room was a good size with tv, fridge with complementary water, lovely big walk in shower, could have done with a kettle but we took our own. Breakfast was included in our package plenty to choose from the buffet. The staff on reception where very helpful if you needed anything. The hotel is close to all the shops and restaurants and a bus ride to the beaches. There's restaurant and cafe bar at the hotel, the staff are all really lovely especially Britana who always looked after us in the bar (not sure if l spelt her name right) apologies if l haven't. We eat in the hotel restaurant a couple of times food a bit pricey but nice. I would definitely recommend this hotel for exploring Santander.

Hotel situato in una posizione eccellente, vicino al centro della città dove sono i negozi, ristoranti e la vita notturna e di fronte al mare. Le spiagge sono raggiungibili facilmente anche attraverso bus (fermata di fronte all'hotel). La camera molto carina, pulita, con tutto il necessario. Unica pecca la camera singola è veramente piccola, il bagno invece è ampio e con una bella doccia ma manca il bidet (presente invece nella doppia).

Recently stayed in this beautiful town on our Camino adventure. The hotel is somewhat olde world and while some reviews I had read were quite critical of the state of the rooms and indeed the service, that was not our experience. Hotel is located one block back from a magnificent beach which has a 4K promenade. Check in was seamless and receptionist was very friendly. Our room was a decent one, clean/ quiet albeit we could have done with aircon as weather was quite warm. While breakfast was served on site (typical continental breakfast), there was no facility to eat at night ( staff however provided decent recommendations). The town has multiple bars/ restaurants within 5/7 minutes walk of the hotel.

From the outside the hotel doesn’t look like much but the interior more than makes up for it. Welcomed very nicely by staff and was easy to find our room. Room was a great size and lay out and the bed was incredibly comfy. There were always staff available if needed but we didn’t have any problems. The hotel was in a great location and the beaches and restaurant were lovely.

Absolutely loved the location of this hotel, room was extremely clean and bed was so comfortable. Staff made you feel very welcome and happy to answer your questions and help you. My husband is vegan and after the first day, realised there was no vegan hot food at breakfast. I mentioned this to Reception and wow did they sort this out. Next morning, he was asked what he would like and they offered him so many choices. His breakfast personally made by the chef was amazing and delicious. Same thing happened the next morning. He ate like a King. He was delighted when the chef came out of the kitchen both mornings, so he could thank her. Excellent Customer Service !!!!

Elegí el hotel Faranda Alisas de Santander porque en las imágenes parecia un buen hotel acompañado de un precio adecuado. Al llegar al Check ing a la 13:00 nos dice el empleado Jorge que hasta las 14:30 no podemos entrar porque estaban a falta de personal de limpieza. A las 14:30 nos hace entrega de la tarjeta para acceder a la habitación, pero al llegar nos damos cuenta de que no era una tarjeta la que abre la puerta sino que una llave bajamos para solicitar aquella llave y con tal desaire me dice que tengo que esperar ya que esta atendiendo a un cliente, después de un rato me hace entrega de la llave de la puerta. Al entrar a la habitación si se le puede llamar así porque era un zulo con una única ventana que daba a un patio el cual estaba repleto de heces de palomas. Os podéis imaginar nuestra sorpresa al ver tal asquerosidad. Bajo a decirle que eso no era lo que habíamos contratado ya que ese lugar no valía 104€ la noche. Nos ofreció otra habitación la cual era totalmente igual la única diferencia es que en esta habitación si tenía una ventana que daba a la calle y por lo menos no te daba la sensación de estar en una cárcel. Por cierto volvió a confundirse en esta última habitación era una tarjeta la que abría la puerta y no una llave. Bajamos para decirle que ya que no nos ofrecía otra solución pues que nos conformábamos con ella. La misma empleada de la limpieza le sugerio que nos podía dar una habitación mejor a lo que Jorge respondió que NO con gran rotundidad y pasotismo, el cual me indigno y por tanto solicite una hoja de reclamación, porque si no te apasiona tu trabajo no te da derecho de ofrecer un trato pésimo a las personas que acuden allí para desconectar porque yo había reservado para pasar una noche increíble con mi pareja, ya que, era su cumpleaños y lo que recibimos fue un mal trato. Las demás empleadas tanto las recepcionistas como las empleadas de limpieza fueron muy educadas y agradables y solo por ellas volveríamos pero mientras siga el empleado quita ilusiones no volveremos a posar ese hotel. Por eso le doy una mala reseña porque personas como Jorge no pueden trabajar cara al público si no eres una persona profesional para realizar bien tu trabajo. No hemos tomado fotos de la primera habitación donde había heces de palomas porque queríamos irnos de allí y encontrar otro hotel pero nos dijo Jorge que no nos devolvía el dinero, por lo que no nos quedó otra opción que pasar la noche allí.

We were impressed with this hotel on arrival, nice common areas, parking onsite (albeit a tad expensive), good location/setting, easy checkin, clean room. But two very important things this hotel needs to get right… (1) The dinner service. They had one (very hard working) waiter doing everything, the result was a v long way even for a menu. We couldn’t blame him as he was doing his best but just couldn’t keep up. To add, the restaurant is outside in a temporary building which may be lovely in the summer but was not quite so glamorous in the rain. We were amazed the waiter had to keep going in and out (in the rain) to get drinks and food, utter madness…. Especially when there are large areas inside the main hotel not being used. We felt really sorry for this guy and as a result didn’t order starters, more drinks or desserts as it was just too painful to watch. (2) The hot water. We had none, just not good enough. We wouldn’t stay here again for the above two reasons, limited time and travelling require decent service and hot water as standard.

We only use the studio for sleeping but if you rent it for cooking, you should install an extractor fan. The walls do not have soundproofing and one morning a couple woke us up at 4:00 in the morning getting intimate and it seemed like they were in our bed, the situation was very unpleasant due to the lack of soundproofing. Thank God there weren't many people in the month of November because if it had been full, I wouldn't have been able to sleep because of the noise. Thank the cleaning girl for saving my ring that I dropped in the room, thank you very much!!!!! My score would be 7 out of 10.

Like many people using the Ferry I've always just ridden off, or got the the queue in time. I decided to have three days here, at the end of my 2000 mile trip. Left Haro and took a detour through Frias/Ona which was fantastic. Ride through the N632 to Santander Beachfront. Got to Hotel, pay up front for room. 3rd Floor, Sea View. Reception excellent Hotel very good, but Bike outside in Moto area for three days. Good breakfast, with a number of sittings. Lots of bars, Beach is brilliant. Mercardo near Surf School. I found bar food average, but others raved about the Seafood. I would stay here again. In fact I might book for September trip.

Absolutely loved this hotel. Wouldn’t stay anywhere else if visiting Santander. Staff were exceptional especially Reception staff. Our room was perfect, the bar and restaurant was just lovely and the pool was stunning. Location across the road from the beach and beautiful setting.

Booked last minute online driving up Spain this was a golden find. Slightly difficult for the Sat Nav to find on a dark wet night. Parking is limited but adequate unless the hotel is packed. The staff were welcoming with an adequate grasp of English/French. The hotel is spotless and has a very charming character with asymmetric rustic furniture/decor throughout that unbelievably blends so well together.Bedrooms/bathrooms are comfortably adequate but definitely not high-tech. WiFi is free and a good speed. The restaurant offers a limited selection of superb meals in the evenings (you would not want to eat elsewhere after sampling it), and breakfast has a fine and unlimited cold food selection, and a great help yourself coffee/late machine. You can buy great value wines with your meals but beer/lager was not available. The hotel is in a quiet location and is dog friendly for small breeds. Well situated if waiting for ferry crossings (25 min drive) I would 100% recommend the hotel as good value for money, extremely charming with food to die for, and would definitely book again if the need arises.

A very nice hotel, close to the centre of Suances and to the beaches. We were provided with great service throughout, and made to feel very welcome. Out suite was very comfortable, but we felt would actually have been better without the jacuzzi, which takes up a lot of space, and requires an enormous amount of water (and energy!) to fill, so not very sustainable. The motoring theme felt a little odd, and detracted a little from what is actually a beautiful building. That didn't stop us having a wonderful stay though in a really nice resort.

Even after reading all the 5 star reviews we were still blown away with just how good it was to stay at this fabulous place. The house is in the centre of the lovely old village of Riocorvo. The village is very pretty and has a nice bar close to the river. The house is absolutely stunning, it has been sympathetically restored to an extremely high standard with all modern conveniences. The family owners are delightful attentive hosts. We had a lovely evening meal and the breakfast was excellent. We have stayed at many hotels and guest houses and this ranks as one of our best ever stays. We will definitely return and plan to spend longer in the area as it has much to offer. We did a short walk by the river and are keen to explore the area further. There is a path next to the river for walking & cycling which goes al the way to the sea at Saunces. It's an ideal stopping point for the Santander ferry away from the hustle and bustle of the main towns. There is free parking near the house.

Buen hotel, nosotros estuvimos en una suite y todo bien. Como pega, para poder disfrutar de la piscina, sería recomendable que fuera cubierta, ya que el clima del norte, no suele invitar al baño. La situación es buena, a 5 minutos de la playa.
