Gran Talaso Hotel Sanxenxo

Stayed at this lovely beachfront hotel for 5 nights with my family in 2 double "Baltar" rooms with terrace and sea view. Although rooms were not sold as sea view probably as the view was a little obstructed by the very quaint roof of an adjacent house which only added to the charm we felt. Very comfortable beds with the best pillows I've ever experienced in a hotel. Lots of storage space with a full wall of sliding wardrobes and some drawers however I would have liked the dressing table/desk to have had some drawers so all items need not have been left on top. Very nice bathroom with separate shower plus full bath with above bath shower also. We found all the staff to be extremely friendly and accommodating. We thought perhaps as we were English speaking this would have been an issue but practically all reception and dining room staff had enough english to communicate well enough. The breakfast buffet was the best I've ever experienced with so much choice of hot and cold dishes, breads, cereals, fruits, cakes etc, the selection was most extensive and once we got the hang of the coffee and hot water dispensing machine we savoured each of our seaview breakfasts. The dinner/lunch menu was very good also and the quality of food and service was excellent. The maitre'd and staff were most helpful and went to great lengths to translate a children's menu for our son. The view from the dining room is spectacular especially at night and incorporates a lovely terrace area for pre dinner drinks. The indoor pool/thalaso spa is fabulous with a big area dedicated to all types of jets and jacuzzi areas. There is also a great thermal area with saunas, steam room and various types of showers plus my favourite, heated loungers. Grand Talaso Hotel is definitely in our top 5 of hotels and Sanxenxo is well worth a visit with its beautiful beach and marina area with lots of cute shops and restaurants. We would like to return some day.
