“Hotel Palacio Del Mar stands out with its capacious rooms and a distinctive architectural nod to tradition; its position is advantageous, especially for those visiting the university or El Sardinero beach. While I noted areas needing refurbishment, the presence of meeting facilities for up to 1,000 guests strikes me as particularly notable for business gatherings. Overall, it presents a solid option with considerable potential.”
