Gran Hotel Las Caldas by Blau Hotels

Nice hotel, great for relaxing. The breakfast was delicious, and dinner menu was very good as well. There are a series of pool services (you have to pay extra to enter the pool). There is the "balneario real" witch was very nice but it is supposed to be adults only and there were lots of kids there, other wise very nice. Would have liked to have a coffee maker in the room. Over all nice hotel but some parts lack maintenance, specially in the common areas the hotel is starting to show its age. Easy access from Oviedo (15 min car drive). Over all nice but expensive if you add the price of the room plus the access to the pools.

First of all I would like to point out the superb location if what you want is relaxation (one street village in the valley of Asturias mountains). Secondly the 2 great spas. No so positive: the complex has 2 hotels but just one reception which is in the area of the 4 star hotel that means a lot of walking to get to your room (specially if you are staying in the modern building of the 5* facility). The 5*, including rooms, looks a little bit tired and I would add is more a 4* sup than 5*. Breakfast, what you may expect at least for this category (nice hall where it is served) Regarding the spas the only not so good thing was that in Balneario Real the Hall of Colums was closed for renovation and it should have specific area (or opening hours) for families and another one adults only. The other spa Aquaxana was a little bit crowded but ok and great open air pool in the middle of the woods. To finish mention that there was a misunderstood with the reservation and thanks to Eduardo at the front desk it was solved.

Language was a huge barrier even the receptionists couldnt deal ... Food according to our diet was not available No activites for kids Transportation scarce or too late
