It was exactly what I was hoping for and what I needed! Nice weather, near the sea, nice village, nice hotel, beautiful swimming pools. Very nice staff, who spoke enough English and French. It was a gift for myself, to recharge. So my compliments for the right proposal from you! I was very happy to indicate what I wanted, and that SIS came up with attractive proposals.

Thank you for the great holiday! Tuesday is the first day of my new job, where I will start with lots of new energy.
I know where to find you for our next trip!
Marjolein, Netherlands - 29 September 2019
The holiday was well prepared by SIS. It’s a beautiful hotel with lovely surroundings and so close to the beach so you can see and hear the sea. The Spa, treatments, food, wine, room were all excellent. We really loved the salt water pools. Didn’t miss anything. The whole experience was a great memory. Many thanks for recommending this hotel/spa!
Mandy, United Kingdom - 22 September 2019
We completely loved our recent holiday and will definitely book again. it felt like a gift to be among the Spaniards who know what self-care is. Every age was there and there was a friendliness and peaceful atmosphere from day 1 and the sea salt therapy is phenomenal as was the gym training and yoga and aqua classes and general swimming outdoors and food was healthy and gorgeous.
Phil, United Kingdom - 15 September 2019

In our quest to find something between a boot camp and a spiritual retreat, we decided upon Thalasso Hotel El Palasiet in Benicassim. It seemed to offer the perfect mix of a structured exercise timetable, dietician-supervised meals and seafront Spa relaxation. On that front, we were not disappointed.
The staff were utterly charming and while some have been disappointed at their lack of English, we both are fortunate enough to speak relatively good Spanish, so no problem. The room, albeit a standard, was huge, spotlessly clean, well-equipped, bright, quiet, and with a comfortable two-metre bed – heaven. The food was beautifully prepared and presented – fresh and healthy. The location is unparalleled, overlooking the sea, and on the doorstep of the Via Verde, an easy-to-follow coastal 5.7km walking/cycling route from Benicassim to Oropesa full of gorgeous views and pretty watchtowers – take a bicycle from reception and off you go. Finally, the building is classical, tasteful and elegant, and the Spa and grounds immaculately maintained – with an almost sub-tropical feel.
It’s reasonable to point out that the average El Palasiet guest is to the senior end of the age spectrum. It’s wonderful to see their commitment to improving their health but, if you’re lucky enough to be more youthful, expect to have to put in your own gym time and fitness programme to supplement the timetabled sessions – if you want the best results. For us the fitness sessions (gym, aqua gym) were far too light but, again, they did suit the majority.
We both stuck rigidly to the programmed menus and activities and lost weight/centimetres and toned up – impressive for just four nights. If we cannot find a better halfway house between boot camp and spiritual retreat, with a slightly higher intensity fitness programme, we will for sure return to El Palasiet.

I returned home with good impressions of my stay at El Palasiet. The weight- loss program was very intense, but effective and met my expectations. Benicassim is a very beautiful and quiet place and there are a lot of opportunities for sports: running, walking, swimming. There is a good gym at the hotel. Unfortunately there were some problems with communication with the staff, because the employees of the Spa department and of the restaurant mostly spoke only Spanish.
I went to the airport by train from Benicassim to Valencia, it was very simple, and on the way I saw many beautiful places. And than I took in Valencia the metro to the airport. It was not necessary to take a taxi. Thanks for your help.
Olga, Netherlands - 10 July 2018
Lovely! My body feels much better after this yoga week. Mila the yoga teacher was fantastic! Most staff in the hotel does not speak English, but it was no problem, their friendliness made up for that!
Wendy, Netherlands - 16 October 2017
I would rate 10 points to my trip! Everything went great!!! The yoga with Lourdes was excellent, the food amazing and the service very friendly ( and I do not speak Spanish:-)) the hotel room was great, with an ocean view.
Alina F., Switzerland - 29 August 2017
I really had a wonderful week! The accommodation is very nice. The groupclasses and the schedule were good. The sea super beautiful (everywhere in the hotel you enjoy a wonderful sea view! It is quite Spanish, wich I loved. Beautiful how the old pictures and antiques which are around the hotel contribute to an authentic experience. Not everybody speaks English, but that is what I like.
Marguerite, Netherlands - 19 June 2017
It was fantastic! Relaxing, being physically active and healthy eating has never been so easy before! Beautiful location with a stunning sea view. Nice and friendly hotel in a bautiful green garden, not too big and in June still quiet. Located at the start of the ¨Via Verde¨ cycling and walking path, so we used the bikes, which was great! Funny, the hotel is just like a small Spanish museum with all the antique furniture. At the reception English was well spoken and they were very friendly. Massage therapist was amazing! Unfortunately the Spa was fully booked and therefor hard to book any extra treatments, so better to organise this before you arrive. The program is very divers, it has a bit of everything, some relaxing and some physical activities. And again very well organised by SIS.
Sandra, Netherlands - 12 June 2017
A complete experience, I will return!

Marlene, United Kingdom - 01 August 2016
I had a truly wonderful, relaxing and pampering experience, full of activities and great fun. Excellent staff, high quality facilities, treatments and activities.
Lorella, United Kingdom - 12 July 2016
We enjoyed a really lovely stay at El Palasiet. The hotel is well maintained and the staff well organized and attentive. The treatments were a delight and what stood out for us was just how professional the therapists are. The gardens are beautifully kept. The thalasso centre and the treatments exceeded our expectations, we would definitely recommend El Palasiet and we also plan to return!
The only comment we could make regarding improvement would be the with the food as we believe it could have been better.
Mª Angeles, Spain - 05 July 2016
We had an absolutely fantastic time. The hotel was lovely, the spa and treatments amazing and the food great!! A big thank you for organising our holiday.

Amazing!
Daniela, Russian Federation - 08 September 2014
It was absolutely wonderful! I loved it, and my husband too enjoyed it very very much. The hotel is just fantastic, great decor, a REAL place, ever so slightly old-fashioned, but very well kept, loved the restaurant atmosphere, you feel you are in an older Spain... the staff there are absolutely lovely. We would definitely consider returning to El Palasiet next year.
S.Leary, France - 21 August 2014
I 've had a wonderful (and intensive) week. Beautiful location, sea view was amazing. Also no mass tourism which is also enjoyable. I thought it was very intensive and sometimes the program was a bit tight (with changing in between sports and treatments). But here again nice to get a nice gym (with a view and no sweat air) and the range of activities was wide.
Ans, Netherlands - 30 June 2014
I spent a week here alone as a treat to myself, well I certainly got it a good stay, massage, pool, spa, more massage, a low calorie diet ... A physical and mental cure needed in these busy times we live in.
Meritxell, Spain - 31 January 2014
We felt truly pampered. Superior service in a beautiful environment. We will definitely return.
Marcela, Italy - 23 January 2014
The Palasiet is a special place. It is so beautiful and so peaceful. It was the perfect place for us. We were looking for a Mediterranean hotel where we could relax and "be healthy". The Palasiet brought that to us and much more. We enjoyed the food, which was delicious and very healthy; the massages and spa treatments were fantastic; and our room had the most fabulous and romantic view. It is perfect for relaxing. We loved it and we are planning to go back soon!
F.D, United States - 10 January 2014
The hotel is in a lovely position on hillside with beautiful views of the hotel pool and sea. The hotel itself is like going back to the old beautiful Spain as I remember when I was a child. To me it seemed rustic and charming, the rooms are clean and has all that you need. The pool area is lovely and peaceful. The staff are lovely, most only speak a little English but I like that, the spa is also very nice.
Mary, United Kingdom - 01 November 2013
This hotel is an oasis, with exceptional sea views. A place to recharge the batteries before returning to the daily grind. The family atmosphere gives a special charm.
Jorge, Spain - 10 October 2013
After a hard year, El Palasiet has been the perfect place to forget about the daily problems and just focus on health, relax and fun in such a great city as Benicassim is. The room was really big, had an amazing view of the sea. The staff were charming, and took constant care of our needs. The Spa and the offer of massages is outstanding, and has a great price-quality relation.
