Gran Hotel Liber & Spa is a four-pearl property located across the street from a rocky public beach in Noja. The on-site spa with a whirlpool, steam room, and indoor swimming pool with waterfalls make the property feel upscale, though there is a charge to use the facilities. The fitness center and Wi-Fi are free, as is access to the outdoor swimming pool. Half-board packages are available for breakfast and dinner buffets. There are a wide variety of rooms and suites to choose from. Some are larger than others and have private balconies, but decor is nothing special. Overall, the hotel provides a solid value but isn't as luxurious as some may expect for a hotel at this level.

Scene
Airy atrium and local artwork
The hotel is comprised of two four-story buildings connected by a glass-enclosed lobby. The outdoor pool sits between them. Potted green plants and white or green leather club chairs are accented overhead by hanging silver balls. Art by local artists adorns the walls. The space is bright and airy. Outdoors, the swimming pool is decorated with an artificial rock with water cascading from it. Wooden sun loungers and wicker chairs line the rectangular shaped pool. The hotel mostly attracts couples, but families regularly stay as well.
Location
Across the street from the beach in Noja
Situated in Noja, this hotel is in the same area as Berria Beach and Santona Beach. The surrounding neighborhood is quiet and residential, though there are shops and restaurants within walking distance. It's only 40 minutes to Santander and the ferry via the highway. Other nearby regional attractions include Laredo Beach.The beaches in this part of Spain are rocky with some dramatic cliffs, tide pools, and the occasional patch of sand.
Rooms
117 rooms and suites (some with sea views)
Rooms and suites are located across two separate buildings and vary widely in terms of square footage, decor, and views. Connected rooms sound like a good idea for families but space is so tight that the bed abuts the TV stand. It might be a better idea to go for a spacious suite. Hardwood floors and tones of yellow and pink paint look fresh. Each room comes with a flat-screen TV and empty mini-fridge. In the bathrooms, you'll find everything from a single sink and tub/shower combination to a large whirlpool hot tub and double bowl sinks. Views overlook the swimming pool, sea, or town of Noja. Watch out for twin beds pushed together to make a double-sized bed.
Features
Spa with an indoor swimming pool, outdoor pool, and indoor mini club for kids
The highlight of this hotel is the basement spa complete with an indoor swimming pool decorated with four waterfalls and sitting beside a lovely whirlpool. There's a steam room and treatments are available on request, though expect to pay a fee to use these facilities. There's also a heated outdoor pool and a small fitness center with a few cardio machines and strength-training equipment, but the real draw there are the views of the water through large windows on an upper floor. There's an indoor mini club with toys and inflatable slides for kids. Buffet breakfast and dinner are available for an extra cost.
