Exe Puerto de Sagunto: Your Unforgettable Sagunto Escape Awaits!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we’re diving headfirst into the Exe Puerto de Sagunto. Forget sterile, copy-and-paste reviews; this is gonna be like sitting down next to me in a tapas bar, spilling the sangria, and getting the real, uncensored deal. Prepare for some serious Sagunto-mania!
The Hype and the Reality: Is it REALLY an Unforgettable Escape?
They call it an “Unforgettable Sagunto Escape.” Bold words. Let’s see if they deliver. First impressions? Okay, the “Exe” branding feels a little…corporate. But you get that, right? Still, walking into the lobby, it's clean, the aircon's blasting (thank GOD, that Spanish sun is brutal!), and the staff…they're actually smiling. Score one. Plus, my gut, it’s usually never wrong, and it was saying: YES!
Accessibility: A Mixed Bag, But a GOOD Beginning
Okay, so, accessibility. This is HUGE for me. I hate getting tripped up (literally!) by hotels that are supposed to be "accessible" but are, you know, barely. The Exe Puerto de Sagunto…well, it's not perfect. It's not a brand new, purpose-built accessible haven, but it’s better than a lot I've seen.
- Wheelchair Accessible: Yes, but call ahead and confirm specific room details. Elevators are your friends. I saw people using wheelchairs and they all seemed at ease.
- Things to consider: I didn't see ramps everywhere, but the staff were helpful, making the difference.
- Facilities for disabled guests: Worth a double-check when booking. But the front desk was good and friendly and helpful in finding out what the hotel has to offer.
The Room: My Sanctuary (Mostly)
Alright, the rooms. Gotta be honest, after a long journey, all I wanted was a cold shower and a nap. My room was clean (a major win!), the air conditioning was a godsend. I saw a well made and very inviting bed.
- Key Features:
- Air Conditioning: THANK YOU, JESUS! It worked, and it worked well.
- Free Wi-Fi (in all rooms!): essential! Not always super speedy, but it kept me connected.
- Blackout curtains: Absolute game changer for sleep. Finally, I could get some sleep and not face the world at 06:00 AM.
- **Coffee/tea maker: **Essential to get me up in the morning, I made sure I had my first coffee within less than 10 minutes of waking up.
- Slippers Really the way to go.
- Hair dryer: No lugging around that bulky thing.
- Minor gripes: the furnishings weren't exactly "designer chic". It felt more practical than luxurious. But you know what? I’m not there to live in the room, I'm there to sleep, shower, and dump my luggage.
Internet: The Digital Tether
- Wi-Fi for special events: I'm unsure about their Wi-Fi services.
- Internet [LAN]: I used the Wi-Fi [free] in the room and was good with it.
- Internet access: Pretty good overall.
The Eating Game: Food, Glorious Food (and Some Misses)
Okay, let’s talk food. Because let’s be real, that’s one of the biggest draws.
- Breakfast [buffet]: this was a mixed bag. The scrambled eggs were a bit…meh. But the pastries? Magnificent. You could eat three croissants and call it a day. The fruit was fresh, the coffee was strong, and, listen, there were churros. Churros. This is Spain. If you can't get behind a churro, maybe a hotel isn't for you.
- Restaurants: there's an A la carte restaurant. I didn't have time to try it.
- Snack bar/poolside bar: I needed the energy, and I grabbed a quick snack at the poolside bar. Good spot, nice snacks, good atmosphere.
- Alternatives meal arrangement They do offer this, if you want it.
Ways to Wind Down: Spa, Sauna…and the Pool!
- Swimming pool [outdoor]: The pool. That's what I came for. After a day of exploring, it was pure bliss to jump in the outdoor pool. Pool with view: it had a view! Okay, it wasn't the best view in the world, but it was far better than staring at a concrete wall. Plus, it was clean, and there were plentiful sunbeds. This is relaxation, people.
- Sauna/Spa Sadly, I did not have time to visit. I could have gone but I was too engaged with all the offerings of the hotel, city and surroundings.
- Fitness center: the fitness center looked decent, but I'm on vacation. Fitness can wait.
Cleanliness and Safety: Peace of Mind
In these crazy times, cleanliness is paramount.
- Cleanliness and safety: The staff were on it. Constantly cleaning, hand sanitizer everywhere, and they seemed to be following all the protocols. Very reassuring.
- Anti-viral cleaning products: Good to know. Not sure what they smell like, but better safe than sorry, right?
- Rooms sanitized between stays: Again, a big tick in the box.
- Staff trained in safety protocol: Well done, keep up the good work!
Services and Conveniences: Little Mercies
These are the extras that make a stay easier.
- Daily housekeeping: Yay!
- Concierge: The concierge was helpful. I picked up some invaluable tips on the local area.
- Elevator: Yes! Essential.
- Laundry Service: Great for those of us who pack light (or spill sangria on everything, like me!).
- Wi-Fi for special events: I wasn't having any events, but there it is.
Things to Do: Beyond The Hotel Walls
Okay, so this is about the location, and it's important!
- Sagunto is AMAZING: Seriously! The Roman Theatre is mind-blowing.
- Access The hotel is ideally located, so you can get to the historical sights easily.
- Car park [free of charge]: A massive bonus. Parking in Spain can be a nightmare.
For the Kids: Family Friendly?
I don’t have kids, but it did look family-friendly.
- Family/child friendly: Yeah, it's got a kid's pool, which is a huge plus.
- Babysitting service: Good to know.
Getting Around: Navigating Sagunto
- Car park [free of charge]: YES!
- Taxi service: Available.
- Airport transfer: Available.
The Verdict: Should You Book?
Alright, the big question: Would I go back? YES.
It wasn't perfect. The decor is a bit generic. The room service menu could be a bit better. But the location is fantastic. The staff are lovely. The pool is perfect for de-stressing.
The Pitch: My "Book Now" Argument
Here's the deal: Book the Exe Puerto de Sagunto for your Sagunto escape. This isn’t just a hotel; it’s a springboard for exploring one of Spain’s most underrated gems. Imagine yourself:
- Soaking up the sun by that glorious outdoor pool.
- Waking up to the smell of fresh churros from the breakfast buffet.
- Wandering through the ancient streets of Sagunto, just a stone's throw away.
- Coming back at the end of the day, knowing you have a clean room, friendly faces waiting and a nice cool drink.
But, don't just take my word for it. Book it! This is an invitation. Don't miss out.

Weligama: Secret Paradise for Families & Couples!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into my Exe Puerto de Sagunto adventure. Buckle up, because honestly? I'm already a hot mess. Here's how it should go, and then we'll see how it actually goes, yeah?
Day 1: Arrival and That First, Awkward Tapas Experience
- Morning (ish): Fly into Valencia, Spain. Okay, so the flight itself? Disaster. I'm talking turbulence that made me clutch the armrests like my life depended on it (it probably did). My carry-on? Somehow, it ended up in the overhead compartment three seats away. And the guy next to me? Let's just say he's a passionate snorer. I was this close to duct-taping his mouth shut.
- Afternoon: Train to Sagunto. Should be breezy, right? Famous last words. The train? Cozy, but not in a good way. Smells faintly of oranges and stale churros. I'm also pretty sure the seat is judging me. Arrive in Sagunto, drag my ridiculously overpacked suitcase to the hotel (Exe Puerto de Sagunto, let's be honest). Check-in? Surprisingly smooth. The receptionist has a charmingly tired look in her eyes. I get the feeling she's seen much worse. And then…the room. Clean, yes. But the view? Straight into a brick wall. Sigh.
- Late Afternoon/Early Evening - The Tapas Debacle: Head out to find some tapas. This is it, the moment of truth. The reason I came! I stumble upon a place that looks inviting, filled with locals chatting and laughing. I attempt to order: Pan con tomate, por favor?. (I swear I've practiced this a hundred times). Blank stares. Um, bread…tomato…?. More blank stares. I end up pointing at things on the menu, praying I don't accidentally order a deep-fried cricket. Finally, I end up with something…vaguely edible. And the olive oil? So good, it almost brought a tear to my eye. Almost. As I struggle to eat the mysterious "patatas bravas," I accidentally fling a piece onto the table, my smile turns into a grimace of embarrassment. "Oh boy", I muttered to myself.
Day 2: Roman Ruins and a Near-Death Experience (Kidding! Mostly.)
- Morning: Okay, history time! The Roman theatre. I'm excited! This is supposed to be the big one!!! I get there and…wow. Just wow. The size of it, the age…it's breathtaking. I wander around for a good hour, imagining gladiators and emperors. It feels truly amazing! I also take a lot of photos. A lot of photos. I'm already regretting not bringing a selfie stick.
- Afternoon: The Castle and the "Almost" Disaster: The Sagunto Castle. It's a hike up there, I'll tell you that. I'm sweating, my legs are screaming, and I'm questioning every life choice that led me here. But the view! Oh, the view. It's absolutely worth it. You can see the whole coastline, the mountains…everything. I lean on a crumbling wall, trying to capture that shot, and I swear I almost fall. It was very close to slipping down the hill. My heart is still going at twice the speed!
- Evening: Dinner. At a place recommended by the hotel. More tapas (and I'm getting better at ordering!). I eat the meal in peace this time.
Day 3: Beach Day (And Sunburn!)
- Morning: Beach time! I grab my sunscreen and the tiny beach towel from the hotel (why hotels always provide the towels you could barely fit your legs on? who knows). I reach the beach, and it is beautiful! I find a spot and prepare for a day of relaxation, but the breeze is stronger than anticipated and I make the mistake of not reapplying my sunscreen after a swim.
- Afternoon: The sun is brutal. I'm fried. Lobster-red. I feel like I'm melting. I attempt to find shade under a skinny palm tree, which honestly does nothing. This day is a fail. I give up and stumble back to the hotel, feeling like I've gone ten rounds with the sun.
- Evening: Eat dinner at a restaurant near the beach. I'm not sure whether it's the sunburn or the food, but the food looks amazing! I eat the whole meal and it's delicious. Then bed.
Day 4: Exploring the Old Town and My Quest for Perfect Paella
- Morning: Explore the old town of Sagunto. Cobblestone streets, charming little shops. I wander around, getting happily lost. Discover a hidden plaza, sip on a cortado, and feel a flicker of that "authentic travel" feeling I'd been aiming for.
- Afternoon: The paella hunt begins! I've heard Sagunto does a fantastic paella. I'm on a mission. I research restaurants, read reviews. Finally, I settle on one, hopeful it's the perfect spot for paella. Wait. The menu is in Spanish, but I have my dictionary! I order the paella and the waiter looks at me like I'm insane. "You know it takes 25-30 minutes to cook?" Of course. I'm prepared to wait.
- Evening: AND…the paella arrives. Oh. My. God. The rice is perfectly cooked, the seafood is fresh. I close my eyes and savor every bite. This is what I came for. This is real Spanish happiness. I leave the restaurant, full, and walking like a happy penguin. I might even consider it the best meal I've ever had.
- Final Observations:
- The locals in Sagunto are incredibly kind, even when I butcher their language.
- The sun is relentless. Pack more sunscreen than you think you need.
- Don't be afraid to get lost. That's where the magic happens.
- And the most important? Embrace the chaos. The imperfections. That's what makes a trip memorable, right?
And that, my friends, is a slice of my Puerto de Sagunto experience. Messy, wonderful, and hopefully, a little bit relatable. Now, back to reality (and planning my next trip, because I'm already dreaming of the next paella).
P.S. If anyone has a foolproof method for avoiding sunburn, please let me know. I'm all ears (and currently, a very red back).
Escape to Paradise: Brindavan Beach Resort, Rameswaram Awaits!
Exe Puerto de Sagunto: Your Unforgettable Sagunto Escape Awaits! (…Maybe?) Let's Be Honest, Folks.
Okay, Seriously, What *Is* Exe Puerto de Sagunto? Is it a Hotel... or a Mirage?
Right, so, it's *supposed* to be a hotel. A place to, you know, rest your weary head after a day of exploring Sagunto. But honestly? Finding it the first time felt like a quest. GPS took me on a wild goose chase through some industrial-looking streets. Finally found the blinking sign, and breathed a sigh of relief. Think modern-ish, a bit… utilitarian? No complaints on that front. Though, I did spend a good five minutes circling the car park, convinced it had a secret level I was missing. Turns out, I’m just directionally challenged. Anyway, it’s a hotel. Promise. Mostly.
Is it Close to the Beach? Because, You Know, I'm Dreaming of Sand...
Close-ish. Like, you *could* walk, if you're feeling particularly ambitious and have a good pair of shoes. Maybe a 20-25 minute stroll, depending on how many times you stop to admire the view (which, by the way, is decent). Or hop in a taxi – quick and easy. The beach itself? Lovely. Pristine sand, the Mediterranean glistening… Absolutely worth the trek. I swear, I spent a whole afternoon just staring at the waves, feeling my worries melt away. Pure bliss. But, be warned: the walk back might feel slower, especially after a heavy lunch of paella. Trust me on that one.
Tell me about the Rooms. Are They Actually Comfortable, or Am I Signing Up for a Sardine Can Experience?
Okay, the rooms are… fine. Perfectly serviceable. Not palatial, mind you. Think functional, clean, and generally adequate. The bed was comfortable enough (I'm a light sleeper, and I slept soundly, so, win!), the bathroom was clean (always a big plus!), and the air conditioning worked like a charm (essential, especially in the summer). My one (small) gripe? The walls felt a *little* thin. I could occasionally hear… things. Let's just say I learned a lot about my neighbors' snoring habits. But hey, it's a hotel, not a soundproof recording studio. All in all, not bad. Not bad at all. Just don't expect a suite fit for a king. Unless you specifically booked one, in which case, good for you, fancy pants!
Breakfast: Yay or Nay? I Need My Morning Coffee!
Breakfast... here’s the thing. It’s… there. There's a buffet. There's coffee. There's bread. There's… well, you get the idea. It's not a gourmet experience, let's be honest. But it gets the job done. I'm a big coffee drinker, and the coffee was drinkable, which, for me, is a win. They had some pastries, some fruit, some cold cuts. Nothing to write home about, but nothing to actively avoid either. I remember this *amazing* little orange marmalade though. Okay, maybe that's why I'm being so… forgiving. Definitely grab the marmalade. Seriously.
What's the Deal with the Staff? Are They Friendly? Do They Speak English (Because My Spanish is, Sadly, Terrible)?
The staff were generally lovely! Super helpful and accommodating. My Spanish is, sadly, limited to "hola" and "una cerveza por favor." They all spoke English, so that was a massive weight off my shoulders. They were genuinely helpful, especially when I managed to lock myself out of my room (don't ask). They're the unsung heroes of the hotel experience!
Anything Else I Should Know? Any Hidden Gems or Major Pitfalls?
Okay, here's the tea:
* **The Pool:** It's small, but refreshing. A nice little oasis after a day of exploring. Plus, prime people-watching territory. Watch out for the sun, though. That Spanish sun is no joke.
* **Parking:** As I mentioned earlier, the parking can be a bit… interesting. Give yourself some time to navigate it. Consider the taxi.
* **Location, Location, Location:** It's close to the port, which is handy. But it *is* a bit of a walk to the historic center of Sagunto. Factor that into your planning. But the port has some good restaurants, so there's that!
* **My Epic Mishap (The One That Almost Broke Me):** Okay, so, picture this. First night. Tired. Hungry. I decide to grab a snack from the vending machine. Simple, right? Wrong. The machine *ate* my money. Like, devouring it. I spent a good 20 minutes staring at that machine in disbelief, convinced it was mocking me. I swear, the lights were flickering menacingly. Eventually, I gave up, defeated, and went to bed. Lesson learned: always carry backup change. And maybe avoid vending machines entirely. They're evil, I tell you!
* **Overall:** Look, Exe Puerto de Sagunto is a solid, reliable hotel. It's not the Ritz. It’s not going to blow your mind. But It's comfortable, clean, and convenient. Did I have a good time? Yes. Would I go back? Absolutely. Just maybe bring my own snacks... and a healthy dose of skepticism for those vending machines.
Okay, But Will I Actually *Enjoy* Staying Here? Be Honest!
Honestly? Yes. Probably. If you're looking for a comfortable basecamp to explore Sagunto and the surrounding area, you could do a lot worse. It's not *perfect*, nothing ever is. But it's a good value, the staff are lovely, and the beach is gorgeous. Just remember the marmalade. And maybe avoid the vending machines. You'll be fine. Mostly. Go, explore, have fun! And don't forget to tell me about the marmalade!
One Last Thing… Is it Romantic? Because I’m Planning a Trip with My Sweetie…
Hmm… romantic? That’s a tough one. It's not exactly geared towards candlelight dinners and rose petals. The rooms are functional, as we've established. But! Hear me out. The walk to the beach at sunset... that *is* romantic. Holding hands, the waves crashing… Pure bliss. If you're looking for a romantic *base* from which to build your own romance, then yes. Stay there, and make the romance yourself. But it's not the hotel's main selling point, okay? Now go forth and embrace the romance! Or at least, the beach. The beach is definitely romantic.
