San Fermin

My partner and I have just returned from a weeks stay at the San Fermin - we cannot fault this hotel at all. It is definitely worth more than 3 stars!!! The reception staff were so friendly, the hotel grounds were beautifully maintained and the food was fantastic with so much choice. Our room was compact, but had everything you would need. The shower was the BEST shower I’ve ever had in a hotel room. We will defo be returning. Thanks for a brilliant stay! Yes the hotel is situated on a hill, but this wasn’t a problem for us. We found the location a perfect distance from the beach and marina.

A pleasant surprise, the reception team was super friendly, efficient, and helpful. I believe I remember that one girl was named Carolina and another Verónica (both Argentinians). We have a 5-month-old baby and needed to refrigerate some ice packs to keep the milk while we were out and in the room fridge to keep it. All quick and very professional solutions. The maintenance guy was the same. Very good and varied buffet. Cruz, the girl from the buffet, was super professional and quick; she didn't stop for a second. The rooms are comfortable, the air conditioning works great, there are 3 pools, and you always have a spot on the loungers, unlike other hotels where you have to fight for a spot early in the morning. Overall, a place to return to without thinking twice. Highly recommended.

Nice hotel in walking distance to beach, shops, town. The reception staff were helpful when I had queries, and the housekeeping staff always had a pleasant greeting when you saw them. Rooms are a good size, comfy beds, enough storage space, lovely big modern bathroom. There was a fridge, kettle, mugs, glasses etc in the room which was great as I was room only - I had enough space to put things in the fridge for breakfast. There is a large supermarket Mas about a 5-10 minute walk up the hill which had everything I needed, and if you're looking for nice places to eat on a night then Bonanza square, near the supermarket, was great. I felt quite comfortable eating at the numerous restaurants there on my own at night. The grounds are lovely, grassy area with plenty of sunbeds and palm trees, and the main pool was a very good size. I went to swim around 5 each night when it was a bit quieter after I'd been out all day. It is quite deep (shallow end was 1.37m to 2.10m at deep end) but I liked that. The balcony was the only slight let-down - it's a good size, plenty of room for table and a couple of chairs, with a view out over the grounds /pool/sea if I looed to the side, but my balcony was directly facing one for the room across from me. Luckily the people in the other room didn't use theirs much, or it would have felt a bit uncomfortable sitting out there. The balcony lights also have no controls - they come on at a set time and go off at 11pm. Whether you want them to or not, and there is no switch to turn them back on. After that, if you want to remain sitting outside, you sit in the dark with only whatever light comes through the balcony doors from inside your room. All in all I enjoyed my stay here.
