Excellent value. Ocean view room for 4 at less than half of a standard run of the mill hotel (for 4) in Barcelona. Clean. Across from beach. I heated pool. Friendly staff. No pool towels (bring your own). Food was cheap (half board included in room rate) but pretty disappointing quality
Thankyou for your opinions.
GPS could not locate this address but once I got directions, the hotel was an amazing find! More like a resort with pool and spa on sight. Lovely restaurant and bar. The restaurant service is charged to your room. We did feel rushed with lunch as they close at 3:00. At breakfast, we had an embarrassing moment when we sat down at a table that apparently wasn’t set yet. The waiter made quite a scene. Since we couldn’t speak Spanish, not sure what all was said but he was certainly unhappy. Other that that, hotel is in a perfect location. They offer secure parking at an additional fee.
Overall a good experience at the Peñiscola Palace hotel. The location is very good - right next to the beach and a pleasant walk from the town centre. The staff are super friendly and helpful. The hotel is reasonable modern and is immaculately clean. On-site secure parking was available for an additional €10 per night. Free on street parking was also available a short walk from the hotel. We were given a great room with lots of space and a huge balcony, which we were very happy with. The only real area for improvement was the food, which although always more than adequate, stopped short of anything really impressive. However, I suppose that this is often the case with all inclusive deals. I suspect that the hotel management place budget constraints on the chefs in order to reduce costs. The reality is that although we were pleasantly surprised that the food was better than we might have expected when we arrived, by the end of the week it had become a little boring and repetitive.
Thank you very much for your opinions.
I have recently enjoyed a 3 night stay at this hotel, and wish it had been longer. It is not in the town centre - thankfully! But there are buses every 10 minutes to take you there and back. The reception staff were wonderful, from checking in to checking out and all queries in between. Nothing was too much trouble. The room was lovely and spacious with a decent sized balcony which was sideways on to the pool and sea. The beds were very comfortable - very comfortable indeed. Everywhere was spotlessly clean, parking was easy - though they did manage to find me a spot at the hotel at the last minute (cost of only 10€ per day extra). There is a spa on site which I didn't get chance to try but based on the rest of the hotel facilities it will have been worth it! There is a games room with table tennis, table football, pool, arcade games etc. The swimming pool is excellent with plenty of sunbeds around it. What I was very pleased to see was the pool man came out regularly and removed the towels from beds when people had used them just to reserve the space. Left room for the rest of us. I have left the best till last - the restaurant. Fabulous. Wonderful food, excellent show cooking, regularly refreshed and beautifully presented. Even if you are not staying there you can go and eat from the buffet (18€ per person) and I would well recommend that.
Overall superb stay - and we will be back!
Nice hotel, very good room with nice sea views and excellent bathroom. Communal areas in very good order and staff friendly and generally helpful.
We selected the full board choice and the food was, for this sort of hotel, very nice with plenty of choice. Bar prices were extremely fair for a hotel and generally, for the price paid all was good.
Only complaint was the howling mess they made of the birthday cake I provided with candle. It was delivered to our table still in the packaging and with no candle. Really very disappointing.
Despite this I would recommend this establishment
Thank you very much for your opinions.
