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

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

I have recently stayed at the Hotel Olimpo with my husband and 2 year old daughter. The hotel is in a very peaceful and beautiful area (Playa de Isla about 40 mins from Santander). The hotel itself is set up overlooking the gorgeous beach and has a lovely outside pool area and steps (quite steep!) down to a private beach... More

We visited the hotel in June and it was every bit as good as the last review I wrote about my visits up to 2001. Having translated the Spanish reviews (Google)I am wondering if some mischievous hotel owner wrote them as they are rubbish. There is no parrot and the ants are outside! The hotel is clean and welcoming. Reception... More

Great hotel. Very clean, tidy & friendly staff. Excellent food at breakfast & lunch. Lovely shops & restaurants within walking distance of hotel. A few Spanish words are helpful as this is not an 'English' resort. Have booked again for 2007! More
