Absolutely everything!!! The room was fabulous, both Paula & Daniel at reception were fantastic. The communication via bookings.com with this hotel was first class. We have been travelling in Spain for around 3 weeks with multiple hotels and this is the best experience so far! Fresh fruit in the room and a glass of sparkling on arrival. On site parking and a brilliant location. If you like seafood check out restaurant MARUCHO just 5 min walk and absolutely fantastic 😎

FAQs about hotels in Cantabria

The Colours of Nature

Bordered by the Bay of Biscay to the north, the small Spanish region of Cantabria is known for undulating, lush landscapes which sharply rise to sheer peaks in the south-western Picos de Europa mountain range.

The capital Santander is an important port and has a long promenade lining its sandy beach. The coastline to the west is packed with Cantabria hotels on the beach, some of which are in Comillas. This small town has a number of interesting buildings, including Gaudí’s Capricho. West in the Oyambre National Park is San Vincente de la Barquera. Take to the water for spectacular views of this village, its impressive bridge and the often snow-capped mountains beyond.

At Suances to the east, green cliffs plunge to the sea, while nearby medieval Santillana del Mar is the closest town to the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Altamira cave paintings. Another medieval jewel is inland Potes whose cobbled streets and stone bridge over a stream are all in the shade of the Cantabrian mountains. In the east of the region, the rocks at Noja descend into crystal-clear waters, while Laredo’s curving bay ends in a hill that offers lovely views.

Whether you opt for one of the luxury hotels in Cantabria, an apartment or guest house, Booking.com has a great range of choice.

    We absolutely loved our stay at Cabañas con Encanto! It totally met all of our expectations. The location is incredibly serene and peaceful, surrounded only by other cabins spaced out at a perfect distance, with the soothing sound of the river in the valley below. The view was simply breathtaking! From the moment we arrived, we felt warmly welcomed—the hosts had already heated the cabin for us, making it cozy and inviting. Everything we needed for a comfortable stay was provided: a well-equipped kitchen (including a moka pot, toaster, pans, and even a dishwasher), a reliable heating system, a hot shower, and a charming fireplace with firewood ready to use. We couldn’t have imagined a better place to spend two perfect days immersed in nature. Highly recommended—this place is truly magical!

    It was just perfect. We needed a place that was out of a town to chill between planned events. The bungalows were clean and well fitted out. You have to be really good friends or family as the sound privacy between the bathrooms and bedrooms is as you would expect from bungalow. The location was superb with beautiful beach 500 m away through fields. We were welcomed by a very friendly family team. It was really quiet and the whole site was well managed. I'd go again.

    Really nice hotel, it is huge but was almost empty when we stayed there. A lot of space and facilities. Personel was really friendly and spoke English good enough. Location is excellent; at the end of the valley next to a cable car that leads up to the mountain. Really good for hiking. The room is larger than in most other hotels with a balcony and a great view.

    Comfortable, wide, silent and very clean rooms. I appreciated a lot the cleanliness of the rooms (I've taken the double room). Staff kindness. Position close to the beach, but still located in a silent street, one minute walk from the seaside. The breakfast includes both salt and sweet food, with also many kind of fruit. I think it can satisfy everyone.

    I only spent 1 day in town, but would love to come back. Went to Virgen del Mar for a concert at sunset: it was fantastic, don't miss the experience if you have this chance, don't worry about it being outside the town, local townhall normally finds a way, and if not, there is always the taxi option. Loved El Sardinero beach, the area of Magdalena and its castle, and the architecture.

    It's a pretty medieval town, and I read that they control development, yet it still allows souvenir shops! It suffers in the way all pretty touristy places do: not many decent places to eat at a reasonable price. After one evening looking around we used the hotel as a base to travel to other places. I'd recommend a day visit at most.

    We stayed here because we had a ferry to catch the following day it only took us 30minutes to drive from here to Santander. It was a beautiful town, beautiful views, houses and was a very quiet calm atmosphere. We were glad we picked and booked the hotel we stayed in. We will return next year for our return home from Portugal.

    San Vicente is very Spanish and where the Spanish like to holiday - especially in August - to escape the heat of the cities further south. While the staff in hospitality are generally happy to help, visitors with a good knowledge of Spanish will enjoy it more. Known for its excellent seafood, and local cheeses, it is a feast for the eyes!

    Borja, Lorrena, Fernando and Diego (barman - not his real name) were fantastic staff members at Hotel Olimpo, so friendly, welcoming, helpful and fun. Food was amazing, hotel was immaculate with beautiful views. Amazing location, lovely walk across the beach to Noja. Isla is lovely with quirkly little shops and nice walks. I stayed here with my husband and teenage son and all three of us had a fabulous time and look forward to returning. Was great to kick back and slow down from a fast paced life back home to a relaxing break in Isla.

    We were there at a quiet time - at the height of the tourist season I imagine it could be rather busy. If you enjoy a variety of sea views - beaches and rocky coastlines - then the area is perfect. Also the hinterland is very varied with numerous pretty villages and excellent driving roads.

    Laredo has a lovely old part to the town with a huge number of places to eat and drink. There is also a beautiful Gothic style church with a Guide who speaks English. 1,euro entry. The Comino trail runs along the coast and through the town so is easily accessible. Near to the harbour/marina is a tunnel which runs through the cliff about 200 metres. Free. There are murals on the walls of fish. A trip to Santona by boat is well worth it as it goes out across the bay to see the lighthouse and along the coast to see the old Forts. There is also an excellent natural history museum which looks at the history of the area and the wildlife. Free entry. There is also a footpath where you can walk out to the Forts and lighthouse. The Alsa coach service runs coaches all over Spain and are very reasonable, best to book online. Santander to Laredo direct took 40minutes and cost 22euros for seniors. The coaches have reclining seats, WiFi, toilets. The area is very Spanish with few people speaking English but they are extremely helpful.
