Hotel Santamarta
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Yes, it is worth booking if you want the best-rated hotel among our Cullera picks for only a few euros more than the others. Skip it if slow buffet service or queues at breakfast would spoil your mornings.

This is our Luxury pick in Cullera, a 4-star hotel with an official rating. In this town the label does not mean a high price. It suits couples and travellers who want a quiet base, a gym and a pool listed among the facilities, and a large body of guest reviews to rely on.
If you expect five-star service, look elsewhere: no five-star hotel made our shortlist here. People who dislike busy buffets should also think twice, as that is the main complaint.
Location and getting around
The address is Avenida del Racó, 52. The location score is 9.1 out of 10, and guests describe a quiet setting within walking distance of local restaurants and shops.
Beach appears in the provider's facility list, but that does not confirm a beachfront position or any walking distance to the sand. We have no verified distances to sights for this hotel, so check a map for the walk to the beach and the town centre before you book. Transport options are not confirmed either.
What guests say
The score is 8.6 out of 10 from 4,312 reviews, the joint highest among the 3 eligible hotels we compared. That is a large number of reviews, which makes the score more reliable than most.
Guests praise the quiet surroundings and a friendly, helpful and attentive team that gives a warm welcome.
The weak point is the buffet. The food selection is wide, but guests say replenishment is slow and the coffee machines often have queues. Going early or late may help, though that is not confirmed.
Price and how it compares with our other Cullera picks
We saw €73.10 a night. This is a reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults, not a live quote, so check today's price for your dates. The sample median was €70.00, so it sat slightly above the middle of the market.
The gap with our other two picks is small. Cullera Holiday, our Budget pick, was €69.08 a night with a score of 8.2. El Chalet, our Best Value pick, was €70 with 8.4. For about €3 to €4 more per night, this hotel gives you the highest score of the three and the fullest facility list.
The property lists a gym, pool, restaurant, free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a garden and a terrace. Breakfast type and whether it is included are not confirmed in our data.
Why it made our top 3
Our Luxury slot prioritises five-star hotels. When none fits, a four-star hotel can take the place only with a score of at least 8.5. This one scored 8.6 from more than 4,000 reviews, the best of the 3 eligible hotels we compared in Cullera.
It is a small sample, so the choice is narrower than in a big city.
Before you book
Room size, noise, renovation condition, breakfast inclusion and cancellation terms have not been assessed. Read the rate conditions carefully.
Check opening times and any fees for the pool, gym and restaurant, especially in November. If the beach matters, measure the walk on a map yourself.
