The three-pearl Hotel & Apartment Maritimo Ris is popular with beach-loving tourists due to the easy access it provides to Ris Beach which is just across the street. The hotel has standard guest rooms and modern apartments with full kitchens (a must for the off-season when most restaurants within walking distance close) and some have views of the ocean from furnished balconies. However, beware of advertised double rooms that really have two single beds pushed together. There's an outdoor swimming pool and indoor spa facilities like a sauna and adults-only whirlpool. Wi-Fi, gym access, and parking are free but there's a charge for the daily breakfast buffet. Overall, this hotel provides a solid value considering its on-site amenities and consistently reasonable prices.

Scene
Three-story hotel near the beach
The hotel and the whole area around it is devoted to beach tourism so the neighborhood does get quieter in the off season and many restaurants and shops close. Hotel & Apartment Maritimo Ris is outfitted in bright and modern decor. The lobby has black-and-white tiles and large sculptures of potted tulips. Historical black-and-white photographs hang on the wall behind the reception desk and paintings by local artists are prevalent throughout the public spaces. Breakfast is served in a window-lined room overlooking the pool. Angular white chairs and tables make the room feel open. Jets of water spraying into the pool are a fun accent to an otherwise basic space.
Location
Across the street from sandy Ris Beach
The hotel is located in front of one of Noja's most beautiful public beaches: Ris Beach. The golden sand and blue water make for excellent body boarding and there are several hiking trails and scenic walks to take along the rocky coast. A grocery store, ice cream shop, and several restaurants are within walking distance. Parking at the hotel is free. The E70 Motorway is nearby. Expect an hour to drive to Bilbao and a little less to Santander, the region's capital.
