With balmy weather, flowing red wine, great restaurants, and a relaxed lifestyle, Spain is a wonderful place for a romantic getaway. If you’re planning a romantic break to Spain, there are plenty of Spanish hotels that are perfect for all kinds of travellers. Choosing a hotel is an important decision when travelling, and different things matter to different people. To help you choose a hotel in Spain, here are a few basic things to look out for:
- Location, location, location
Location is extremely important. Choosing a location all depends on where you want to stay and what kind of holiday you want. Do you want a relaxing holiday away from civilisation? Then staying in the heart of the city probably isn’t a good idea, you should rather look for something more remote and scenic. If you know you’re going to do a lot of sightseeing, find a hotel that is close to all the places you want to visit, and make sure it’s easily accessible. If you’re in a central location, you can save money on transportation by getting around on foot.
- Amenities
If you’re the kind of couple who just needs a simple place to rest your head with the bare minimum, then you can stay just about anywhere. However, if you prefer the nicer things in life, you should check what amenities the hotel offers. Having facilities onsite is a great convenience, whether it’s a restaurant you can enjoy a late night meal at, a gym, a spa for that couple’s massage you’ve been dreaming about, or a swimming pool you can take a dip in when you need to cool down from the Spanish sun.
- Complimentary extras
Going on holiday isn’t cheap, so it pays to have certain luxuries included in the cost. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day – and getting it for free will make your stay all the more enjoyable (and affordable). Some Spanish hotels also offer complimentary Wi-Fi, which is great for when you need to upload your awesome holiday pictures to Instagram or do some research on places you want to visit. If you’re hiring or bringing your car, find out if the hotel offers free parking; this will save you quite a bit of money.
- The view
It’s only human nature to enjoy looking at beautiful things. There’s something calming and uber-romantic about looking out your hotel window and seeing panoramic views of the ocean, a magnificent landscape, or a beautiful skyline of the city. If you enjoy nice views, pick a hotel, or hotel room, with a view you’ll enjoy. Can you picture standing on a balcony with your partner, staring at the azure ocean waters while sipping sangrias? That sounds far more romantic compared to staring at a brick wall or a parking lot.
- Room facilities
What are your requirements for a hotel room? Do you want a spacious room with a king size bed? Or would you be happy with a smaller room and a double bed? It all depends on the type of experience you’re looking for. Couples usually prefer hotels with all the bells and whistles, including toiletries, a minibar, a TV, a safe, tea and coffee making facilities, as well as a bath and shower in the bathroom. It’s also a nice touch when the hotel provides bathrobes and slippers.
