Loaction is close to the beach but it is a rundown area. We found both the hotel and Santander a big disappointment. Hotel is next to a funfair which is very tacky as is much of the beach front. Main gripe is the cost which was twice what we paid in other parts of Spain - €270 for a family room, compared to €70-80 per room in Oviedo, Salamanca and even Barcelona. Breakfast was also expensive. more
