Management needs to give their staff attention - so that they can give their guests the same.

The building is very nice - as it most paradores. The disappointment is the running of the place. The staff are friendly but have not been given the training required to give the guests a four star experience. We later stayed at another parador and the difference was very evident. Here everything worked smoothly.The breakfast at this parador was not as good as in the next we stayed. All in all - s… The building is very nice - as it most paradores.

First off, this Parador is top notch. Truly excellent in every way. Nevertheless the streets of Santillana Del Mar are so thick and treacherously paved with cobblestones that it is quite difficult to walk around the town. The parking lot is also a treacherous drive down a narrow passageway. I only mention this because while the parador is truly stunning and I highly recommend visiting, it’s not th… First off, this Parador is top notch. Truly excellent in every way.
