This was the seventh time we have stayed at this Parador, which speaks for itself. Benicarlo is simply nice. The Parador is comfortable and the food excellent. There is a pleasant bar, where they will serve you until the small hours. But the best thing about this Parador is the staff. Nothing is too much trouble and everything seems to... More

Landed in Barcelona and picked daughter up in Salou on route. We stayed 2 nights and had a really relaxing stay with good food and lovely wine. Lovely garden. Beach nearby was fine but sea was ice-cold! Hotel pool not operational but is big and on a sunny day would be great. Tennis court and crazy golf for children. The... More

Probably this Parador is better in the summer, and also if you want a beach hotel ,but even then it is too expensive.We stayed in January, for one night on route going south....There was probably only 3 rooms occupied, but even so we had a long walk to our room,whch didnt have much of a view anyway, and also no...

I am not sure there is any reason to visit this coast of Spain. Benicarlo is not an attractive town but it does at least have more character than the resorts along the coast. I am sure that Peniscola was once a pretty place, but the ugly wall to wall developments have long since destroyed the area. This is not... More

Modern Parador with grounds leading down to the beach in a nice little town with harbour. Excellent stopover if travelling up the east coast of Spain. All rooms spotlessly clean as always and so comfortable and friendly. Good value half board if booking through Amigos (Friends) of the Paradores otherwise meals are expensive, especially dinner. We dined in one of... More

We had booked two nights and stayed three as we liked the hotel and its location very much. Direct entry to the beach at one end and the town at the other. The beach is Ok and the water very clean (blue flag). We walked north along another untidy beach to Peniscola but the little beach at the Parador is... More

FOOD GreenPark likes his veg: and was pleased to see amongst the buffet plenty of beans or suchlike which seems unusual for a Parador. the salad bar was also very good. (The buffet is available July+August*) The main restaurant is open breakfast 0800-1100, lunch 1400-1600 and dinner 2030-2300.* There's a bar that serves snacks plus a full range of food... More

Rooms nice with balconies, beautiful garden and nicely placed swimmingpool close to beach. Great breakfast and nice staff.

When driving up, the property looks old and sad. Inside, however, it's very well cared for and very clean. The rooms are pretty, and the balconies overlooking the water are quite nice. The grounds are very pretty, with a nice, very clean pool, and attractive gardens. The beach, however, is very small, and not terribly nice. I was disappointed. And... More
