This hotel has so much potential. Great location. Nice ocean views from one side of the hotel- Mountain View’s from the other. It lacks a little love and attention. First off, if you are a spa person this is not the typical spa you might be expecting. The “spa” is basically a glassed off area on the other side of the indoor pool with mediocre sauna, steam and jacuzzi. Oh and you have to pay to use it. Kinda strange. You also need a swim cap. Fitness room, again, lots of potential! Huge room and plenty of equipment. Very dated though. I tried the rowing machine and the straps were broken and the machine was old, hard to use. They also have a sign that says to wipe down equipment. I found 2 spray bottles of something in the corner of the room with a used rag. Not exactly the ideal if they are worried about hygiene. The breakfast- lots of potential but lacking quality. The fruit table is wonderful and so is the coffee! However, there are no nice jams or homemade anything. There were scrambled eggs one morning and sunny side up eggs another but they were doused in oil. Plenty of cold cut meats and sliced cheese. The room- basic. Bed was comfortable. They don’t really use the outside terrace that has a lovely view. They could have breakfast tables set up out there with umbrellas and nice outdoor furniture to sit in and have a cocktail but it’s just empty space with some light square tables and chairs. (Missed opportunity). Could be fabulous if they had a great breakfast, made use of the terrace, updated the gym and did something with the “spa”, or simply don’t call it a spa. Decent 3 star hotel.

Es la segunda vez que vamos después de estrenarnos en febrero y tenemos intención de repetir. El check-in y check-out se realiza en el hotel, a poca distancia de los apartamentos y con personal muy educado y agradable. El apartamento básico dispone de un salón comedor amplio con sofá-cama y terraza grande, cocina independiente con terraza y jardín, un dormitorio, una habitación con dos camas y baño. Está decorado moderno y con gusto, totalmente equipado con menaje de cocina y mesa, placa de inducción, micro, tostador, cafetera italiana, plancha, secador, televisores en salón y dormitorio... La parte que afea el apartamento en las dos ocasiones que hemos estado es el baño, con evidentes señales de desgaste en bañera y puertas, tamaño reducido y sin extractor. Atención con la cocina: hay un interruptor para el uso de microondas/extractor y agua caliente/calefacción por separado. Viene todo perfectamente explicado en una hoja de bienvenida con información importante que te proporcionan en el check-in o dejan a la vista en el salón comedor. He leído algún comentario donde este punto lo ponen a parir y no es ningún defecto de ABBA sino una medida de seguridad regulada por la comunidad autónoma de Cantabria. Por favor, lean esa información para evitar sorpresas y comentarios desagradables sin razón de ser. El sofá con tejido anti-manchas suavísimo y las camas comodísimas a más no poder, las almohadas bajitas pero cómodas, dos por persona. Sólo utilizan sábana bajera, agradable al tacto. El edredón, ligero, parecía el mismo en febrero y en junio y sólo hemos visto una manta ligera por habitación. Las toallas son una pasada. La presión del agua, genial, de diez. Y el suelo es comodísimo también, con baldosa tipo rústico y madera en las habitaciones, muy agradable para quienes nos encanta ir descalzos. Por poner un pero, y en realidad tiene su importancia: se oye todo. Las paredes parecen de papel, puertas, pasos, uso del baño... se oye el más mínimo ruido de los vecinos. Limpieza absoluta en todos los rincones. No tan presente en el menaje, entiendo que depende más de la limpieza de cada huésped. No hay problema de aparcamiento, disponen de uno privado bajo los apartamentos pero en la calle hay plazas gratuitas alrededor y es una zona muy amplia y tranquila, a unos 5 minutillos del centro en coche.

We really enjoyed our stay at the San Mar. We wanted a Cantabrian hotel that was right on the beach so we could lie in bed and listen to the sea, so this hotel was perfect. The playa de Luaña is a lovely beach with a small surf school and lifeguards/ first aid. Walk down the steps of the hotel and the beach is at the bottom- perfect! Our double room had a terrace which was nice although mainly on the shade from the afternoon on. The bed was actually two singles, and the mattresses seemed to be memory foam which were very warm at night. There was no air conditioning but we were anxious about mosquitoes. The hotel supplied a plug in bug zapper for the room. Rooms were made up every day, which was lovely. Fresh towels also every day. Breakfast was self service in the basement and was ok- a choice of fruit, yogurt and lots of bread, jamón and queso, with some croissants, jams etc. We had a drink in the bar every night and often played cards on the terrace. Service could be a bit slow. We had dinner in the restaurant twice (much preferred it to the one opposite) and food was good value. Overall a lovely place. Was quite expensive (€120/night) and often we were waiting to get the attention of the staff- both check in and out we were waiting for at least 10 minutes for people to come. Service could also be a little gruff at times. We would recommend a stay here- the location is also great with Comillas and Santillana within easy drives, plus the amazing Restaurant El Remedio.

We have stayed in the hotel for a few days and we have been very pleasant, very careful and pleasant staff, very careful and quiet hotel. We hired the middle pension and it was all a good thing, they have a very complete menu where you can choose between the first 5 and the first 5 seconds, everything we asked was very rich and the ratios more than correct. The two servants who attended us at dinner were very fast in serveing us as well as in changing our dishes nothing more end each one, very careful, we felt almost as at home, especially the young boy, always with a smile, in summary, The most popular menu was vegetable gyrosis, cochinite tacos (are different, have a touch like a lima but very rich), and the beef pads in wine sauce (incredible that sauce). In addition, they give you a choice between flour and maize bread, the latter was with seeds, very good. You can park right at the door or out, next to the road, the rooms and bathrooms are large, we miss a stick or something to be able to hang towels, also inside the shower something to be able to put the champagne or gel. The only stick we can put was the bed, which was all squeezed, for the rest, I recommend 100%, a pity we couldn't stay anymore.

Una excelente ubicación para contemplar las vistas al mar y al precioso pueblo desde el bar-restaurante, que es donde se sirven las comidas. La habitación la elegimos también con vistas, para no perder ninguna oportunidad durante nuestra estancia para contemplar las fabulosas vistas. Para no incrementar el precio, en la primera reserva no incluimos el desayuno, pero al ver la ubicación, nos decidimos a añadirlo y fue un acierto total. El personal del hotel muy atento y especialmente en el desayuno bufet, pendiente de que no faltara ni un detalle. Una cama confortable y un buen descanso, con la satisfacción de que nuestra estancia nos permitió huir de la ola de calor. En San Vicente la temperatura fue perfecta.
