Lock in a great price for Hotel Chiqui – rated 8.6 by recent guests!

to get started.

Excellent views of the beach, comfortable beds, balcony seating. Friendly reception staff.

Sue, United Kingdom

Location, location, location. Excellent expansive beach with small beach coves nearby. Rooms overlooks beach. Good front desk staff. Checked out 5.45 AM and taxi to airport arrived at exactly 6 AM as requested. The ride to the airport was a little expensive (38 euro) but the driver was safe, courteous, and spoke good English. For those who enjoy walking, DO NOT MISS the walking path behind the hotel leading to the lighthouse, it is the must and take your camera. The restaurant at the lighthouse is quite good for a tourist location and the service was very good. Anyone who likes Hawaii beaches a light blue ocean waters will enjoy the walk. Other eating place and a supermarket are 5-10 minutes walk away. A good location for those not driving an automobile.

Restaurant has nice interior, see view and nonstandard dishes. Prices are moderate. Food is not delicious but worth a try. There is no need to stay in the hotel to visit the restaurant.

Wonderful hotel, Reception by Staff, free drink in the bar and upgraded room with balcony to start. Comfortable room and bed. Excellent evening meal made even better by the very attentive and very busy Waiters. Then to watch a lovely sunrise over the bay from our balcony, say no more.

We booked half board and on this basis the evening menu was very restricted and uninspired. I would not recommend this option. Breakfast is also disappointing, but not untypical for Spain.
The hotel is beautifully situated with wide views of the lovely sandy beach. It is modern and the rooms are very comfortable and spacious (we had a 'superior room with a sea view' which I would recommend). There are good restaurants nearby and it is possible to easily cycle into Santander by a safe cycle path.

Maybe at least 1 British channel on the tv
Not enough guidance when entering the restaurant. They weren’t particularly busy, we waited a while but no one greeted us so we seated ourselves and waited and waited and waited until we walked over to the waiters and enquired if maybe we were sat in the wrong place for food, so it was a good 40 minutes before we had any food ! Or maybe I was just being impatient as it was late and had just driven for 10 hours
