Hotel Juan de la Cosa

Stayed with a walking group and received exceptional service throughout the week. The hotel serves delicious local food which attracts many locals. The rooms are comfortable and clean, the staff helpful and hard working. Excellent location for walking, bird watching, relaxing or surfing. It was like staying with a family. Excellent

Having visited previously for 2 nights as independent travellers on our way to the ferry. We were so impressed that we chose to return for a two week, all inclusive, Saga trip. A welcoming hotel, with wonderful loyal staff, some of whom have been there for many years. Speaks volumes about the management. The food is very good, with a Spanish accent. Chosen from a menu each evening for the following day, this efficiently avoids excess food waste. The rooms are comfortable, and well maintained by the chambermaids. Absolutely adequate, if not luxurious. There are several areas with comfortable seating for reading. The direct access to the beach is lovely. Watching the surfers, and rocked to sleep by the sound of the sea. Belen, the amazing Saga rep is just the best. No request is overlooked. She just works so hard to ensure that all goes smoothly. She is regularly available around the hotel so that her guests feel cared for. Margot, the lovely owner/manager took us to the kitchen to teach us how to make proper Spanish paella (I am trying!) also for a little wine tasting. The Albariño is delicious. To sum up. A really restful holiday.

I enjoyed my holiday so much that I am planning to return in May 2025 with GB Tours looking forward to seeing all the lovely staff again and if possible a walk in shower please 🙏 I can't wait to be back at Hotel Juan de la Cosa 😀 to enjoy another brilliant holiday once again

This was our second visit and even better than our first visit in 2019. We travelled by coach with GBTours and everything was wonderful - Andy, our driver, brilliant as always. It was also good to see how popular this hotel is with independent travellers and locals. The hotel is just as tidy, immaculate and comfortable as before and all the staff, without fail, were warm, welcoming, friendly, helpful yet completely professional. Our sea view room with balcony was just like the picture on the hotel website. The breakfasts, tapas and evening meals were delicious with a very good choice. The local beers, wines and sangria were also thoroughly enjoyed. We will return for a third visit!

My wife and i recently returned from a tour of Spain's Breen Coast. Our base was the Juan de la Cosa Hotel in Santona, Cantanbria. Our stay was superb. It was all inclusive, the food and drink were excellent. We had a sea view room with a stunning view. The room and hotel was immaculately clean. The service at reception, bar and in the dining room was first class. Lovely indoor swimming pool. Local entertainment, talks and walks included. The hotel is located next to a mile long beach which was beautiful. Santona town was nice, and Santona is Cantabria's most important fishing port. 25 minute walk into town from the hotel or a short bus ride. Lots of surfing schools along a completely sandy beach. Santona is a great place to stop to visit Cantabria's northern coastal and mountain regions and to go into Rioja wine country. Great stay

This was the third time that my wife and I have stayed at the Juan De La Cosa with Saga, in the last couple of years. For us, it continues to be a delightful hotel that provides a sense of ‘coming home’ largely because it feels ‘Comfortable’ with a capital C. All of the staff are very warm and welcoming and the food and drinks are excellent. The hotel is situated in an outstanding location overlooking a large and totally unspoiled beach with views out to the Bay of Biscay - in our opinion a real gem. It is very much a Northern Spanish hotel, unlike those you may have come across elsewhere in Spain, but it still manages to cater for the whims and vagaries of us British without losing sight of its Spanish heritage. The area is also very interesting with beautiful villages, towns and cities nearby to visit. What makes the hotel particularly special for us are two people. Firstly, the Saga representative, Belen, who is a total delight - we have never come across such an amusing, caring and warm hearted representative who genuinely cares about her guests anywhere in the World. Secondly, the owner/manager, Margot, is just as delightful and caring and is also a very knowledgeable lady, especially about this area of Spain. Between them they make a great team who look after their guests wonderfully - nothing is too much trouble for them! We hope to make a further return visit in the not too distant future.
