Luxurious, good but a little lacking in atmosphere.
Pros:

We liked everything about the Sardinero for a luxury stay, however, I think I enjoy atmosphere over luxury as it turns out, and although this stay was very enjoyable, the hotel lacked atmosphere in my opinion. Very clinical decoration, again a matter of preference but not to my taste. The underground parking was great and important to us for safety of our motorbike. A very modern drive in lift system which was very impressive. Staff very friendly on arrival and throughout our staff. We had booked a sea view room with a terrace which over looked some of the city of Santander but mainly of the beach and coastal road. The view was stunning and sitting out in the late evening after our meal out was very enjoyable. Our room was very clean and comfortable with a fantastic shower and good ambient lighting. We had a great night there and enjoyed an excellent breakfast in the morning which had an amazing amount of choice of foods to satisfy all.

EXCELENTE.
Pros:

Maravillosa ubicaciòn frente a la playa Del Sardinero. Las habitaciones son muy amplias y nos tocó una frente al mar, pero tuvimos mala suerte que había mal tiempo. El desayuno es muy bueno y variado. Hay parking de pago en el mismo hotel, se hace a través de un elevador que baja el carro a al sotano del hotel, pero es muy facil de usar.
