Large hotel on the beach, but a little out of town. Maybe the time we went, but it was an older clientele. Buffet was average. It is aimed at Spanish clientel( why not, it is Spain!)
Well organised crew, from the folks at the parking gate to the receptionists they were efficient and clear about everything.
Rooms were clean and bright. Perhaps ever so slightly dated, but it's OK for a beach hotel. Very convenient bus service to the city center running throughout the day for a modest price.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
The hot tub usage was at a cost of 10 euros for 1 hour. This was not advertised on the Expedia site.
There was t even a complimentary tea or coffee in the room. The safe lock was drilled out and the TV did not work
Lots of amenities! Right across the beach, you can hear the waves from your room. There’s a spa, there’s umbrella/chairs on the beach that you can pay for, a pool (indoor and out), food within hotel and a few independent restaurants near. staff is great, food for lunch/dinner is OK in my opinion but breakfast is pretty good. Regardless, their buffet options are pretty large and can accommodate any diet (vegetarian, gluten free….)

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The Hotel weak WiFi and phone line coverage meant my wife and I had to cut short our stay as we couldn’t not work from the hotel, which is the reason why we chose it, as it was part of our work holiday. The rest of the hotel was fine but as we were not able to enjoy our stay, this left us a bitter experience.
It was very clean and like new, and the room service was great. But there was a refrigerator in the room that was not working purposely, as they said it could only be used for a cooler. There was no ice, and you can’t drink the tap water, they wanted you to buy your drinking water! Insane! Also, there was no parking, and we had to park 2 miles away from the hotel to find street parking. The beach is very nice, and more quiet then the southern part, the water is prettier also. I wouldn’t stay again, Too much of a hassle with kids.
Property is dated but clean. Very sparse in decor, no pictures on the wall. The location is good and convenient to the beach. We purchased the Full Board option but the food was pretty gross and the fact you have assigned times to eat felt very limiting. It wasn't ideal to plan our day around when we could eat. We ended up not eating there but there is an excellent restaurant just steps away. Overall, I'd give the property a 3.5 out of 5. Staff weren't very friendly or helpful. I don't think we'd return b/c it is was very loud with music going well into the night.
Mon récent séjour au Gran Hotel Peñiscola a été exceptionnel. L'enregistrement s'est déroulé sans le moindre problème, grâce à un personnel attentif et chaleureux. Le service du restaurant a surpassé mes attentes, offrant une expérience culinaire merveilleuse et un menu varié. De plus, le service dans les bars de l'hôtel était impeccable, créant une ambiance des plus agréables. J'ai également beaucoup apprécié le Wi-Fi haut débit, qui m'a permis de rester connecté tout au long de mon séjour. Je recommande vivement cet hôtel à tous ceux qui visitent Peñiscola.
Es war sehr laut in der Lobby und auf der Terrasse auch vom überdurchschnittlichen Anteil Behinderter, dass zum Teil der Eindruck entstand ,man ist nicht im Urlaub sondern in Reha.
Parkplatz, TG , Sonnenschirme und Liegen relativ teuer, zumal es auch erst in den letzten Tagen unseres Urlaubs Sonnenschirme und Liegen ( relativ teuer!!)am Strand gab .
El hotel estaba muy cuidado y la relación calidad precio ha sido excelente. Destacaría la comodidad de las habitaciones, la terraza y la vista al mar, además de la conveniencia de las horas de check-in y check-out. Una muy buena opción sin duda.
