Oca Palacio De La Llorea Hotel & Spa

Location was beautiful. Spa was really good even though a little tired and in need of an update Staff were helpful and friendly David the waiter was particularly nice, and worked the entire dinner service practically alone (the other waiter brought a few meals from the kitchen but David did all the hard work) Nina on reception was helpful when we queried our room allocation and was very friendly.

When we arrived we were shown to a disabled room with three beds in it. We had not booked this room and it’s not the first time we have had this happen when using booking.com. Not sure if the hotels deliberately give rooms that no one wants when allocating for booking.com but it feels that way. We asked to be moved to a double room as per our booking. We were told the hotel was fully booked. Then we were told there was just one room remaining, we were shown to a tiny attic room with two single beds. We had no choice but to accept the disabled room. The issue with this room is that everything is at a lower height to accommodate those in wheelchairs, for two people of 6ft it’s not a comfortable room, especially the bed and the bathroom. We were then phoned and told there was a suite available but we would have to pay an extra €45 - so we reluctantly agreed. The room was very small, it had a living room and a nice bathroom but all very tired looking. Dinner was nice but nothing exceptional as was the breakfast.

The location was good, overlooking a golf course, nice and quiet just 10 minutes from Gijon and 5 minutes from local landmarks
