Superb modern hotel within easy walking distance of the town’s attractions. The bedroom was very well equipped and the king size bed was fabulously comfortable. As we had torrential rain during our stay, we were glad of indoor garage. But for the rain, we would probably have tried one of the many nearby restaurants as the hotel only has a limited choice cafeteria but the food and service were excellent and very modestly priced. Breakfast was copious and delicious. We will return!

Una auténtica joya en Santillana del Mar

La experiencia en el Hotel Cuevas ha sido excelente. Las habitaciones son modernas, muy amplias, limpias y especialmente cómodas, con una decoración cuidada al detalle. Las instalaciones del hotel son simplemente deliciosas: la piscina, el jacuzzi exterior y la sorprendente casa del árbol con zona de relax crean un ambiente perfecto para desconectar. Se nota el mimo con el que está pensado cada espacio. El trato del personal ha sido exquisito, tanto en recepción como en el bar de la piscina, siempre atentos y amables, cuidando cada detalle para que te sientas como en casa. Además, la ubicación es perfecta: a un paso del centro histórico de Santillana del Mar, ideal para visitar la Colegiata y perderse por sus calles empedradas. ¡Totalmente recomendable y con ganas de repetir!

Para repetir una y mil veces.

Para una experiencia en pareja es el hotel ideal. La localización me parece idónea, no está en el centro donde la aglomeración, pero estás a un paso del mismo. Servicio atento, educado y muy eficaz. La habitación (con jacuzzi) está muy bien decorado y es muy funcional. El detalle del concierto de arpa fue inolvidable. Todo genial, nos ha encantado la zona y el hotel, seguro que repetiremos.
