This hotel has 4 stars but I don't think it really rates more than 3 apart from the stunning setting. Rooms are nice with large comfy beds,electric shutters, a small fridge and safe, bathrooms are in need of updating but have a full size bath and good shower. There is no extractor so it can get very smelly and steamy.... More

Hotel Olimpo has a wonderful setting right by the beach. The hotel has excellent facilities with outdoor swimming pool, tennis court, gym, sauna, childrens playroom and lovely gardens. The bar staff are friendly and after 5 days of pre dinner gin and tonics were greeted like long lost friends when we walked in! Restaurant is fine although we felt the... More

On reading the last review I have to ask myself if we are talking about the same hotel. I found that all the members of staff treated me with respect and courtesy and I, of course, treated them in the same manner. Perhaps I have just answered my own question! We are just back after spending a couple of nights... More

Went on a coach trip to Cantabria and stayed at this hotel. The hotel was in a beautiful spot right near the beach. It was spotlessly clean and nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Quite a few Spanish pensioners were staying here, but they were very friendly and quite helpful. There are some beautiful places to visit in... More

We stayed at this hotel, which is about 30-40 mins along the coast road from Santander for a 10 day family holiday. We were rather worried after reading the previous review two days before we left, but we had a fantastic time. The hotel is right next to a stunning sandy beach, which never gets overcrowded (we live in the... More

Stayed here from 16th -18th July. The hotel has a pleasant situation overlooking the bay at Isla Playa, and the hotel trades on this. The rooms at the back of the hotel suffer from the noise and smells from extractor fans. The rooms themselves whilst clean are sterile and unwelcoming. The ensuite bath was worn and the toiletries were in... More

Mobility having stopped most overseas travel, the ferry to Santander gave the only way of reaching Spain without long car journey or flying, both not viable, Hotel Olympo booked via Brittainy Ferries. is only 30 miles from Santander and in a most attractive, green & mountaious part of Spain. The Hotel isaccessible via ramps, has good lifts, rooms with large... More

The Olimpo hotel is in a lovely location overlooking a fantastic sandy beach. We took a car on the ferry to Santander, and Isla Playa is about an hour's drive and there is plenty of parking at the hotel. The grounds surrounding the hotel are nicely planted and pleasant to walk around, with a short path leading down to the... More

The hotel is in a fantastic location with superb rooms and facilities. However at the end of September the village area was very quiet and very few of the restaurants/shops were open in the evening. Would recommend for a couple of nights at that time of year any longer and you would need to travel around the area for choice... More
