Apartamentos Tamarindos Peñíscola

Only what can be sourced and dated: every platform on its own scale, the board from the hotel’s own conditions, and what is not stated anywhere. This site is published by the commercial team of a competing hotel, which is exactly why these figures go out whole — how we check them.
What this hotel actually is
Apartamentos Tamarindos is a three-star apartment complex at number 168 of Avenida Papa Luna, and it is genuinely on the front — about 151 metres from the water. The number to weigh before booking is the other one: the castle is roughly 4.5 kilometres away, the furthest of anything in this list. This is the far north end of the strip, which is why it is quiet and green, and why the old town is a bus ride rather than a walk.
Apartments, not rooms, with outdoor pools and gardens around them. It is the only one of the 37 properties we track with both parking and pets verified from a citable source — most properties leave one or both unstated, and we do not fill those in. No meal plan is verified, which for self-catering apartments is the expected answer rather than a gap: the kitchen is the point.
Its Booking score is joint third of everything we track: 9.0 out of 10 over 573 reviews, with 4.6 out of 5 on Google over 412. The volume is modest next to the big seafront hotels, so read the score with that in mind — but 9.0 across 573 stays is not an accident. From 68 € a night.

Where it is, measured
Distances are straight-line from the verified coordinates, not walking routes.
| Data point | Value | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Address | Avenida Papa Luna, 168, 12598 Peñíscola, Castellón | Web oficial del alojamiento |
| To the castle | 4,505 m | Measured on OpenStreetMap |

The old town is a climb on cobbles, so we publish no estimated walking times.
What each platform scores it
Read the scale column before the score column, and compare within a platform rather than across them: we publish no average, because mixing these scales would invent a number nobody measured.
| Platform | Score | Scale | Reviews | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Booking.com | 9.0 | out of 10 | 573 | 7 August 2026 |
| 4.6 | out of 5 | 412 | 4 August 2026 |
Each figure was read on the platform itself on the date shown. A platform missing from this table is one we have not measured for this hotel, which is not the same as a bad score.
The sub-scores the platforms break out
Each block keeps its own scale. They are the platform’s own breakdown: we neither recompute nor average them.
| Category | Score |
|---|---|
| Staff | 9.2 |
| Facilities and services | 9.0 |
| Cleanliness | 9.2 |
| Comfort | 9.2 |
| Value for money | 8.6 |
| Location | 8.8 |
| Wi-Fi | 8.5 |
Sub-scores are read with the overall score of the same platform, on the same date.

Mentions, not scores. A review can mention several themes, so the columns do not add up to the review count, and the same theme can appear on both sides — which is the interesting part.
What is verified, with its source
Each row comes from a citable source with its consultation date, or it is not here.

A starting rate is the cheapest room in the cheapest week the hotel sells, not a quote for your dates.
What is not stated
What we could not verify for this hotel in any citable source — not stated is not the same as does not have, and the way to settle it is to ask the hotel:
- Board
- TripAdvisor
- Destinia
- Central de Reservas
- Buscounchollo
- HolidayCheck
Where it sits among the 37 places we track
Its starting rate of 68 € is below the median of 77 € across the 24 properties that publish one, which run from 50 € to 120 €.
On Booking its 9.0/10 over 573 reviews puts it at number 7 of the 35 properties we have measured on that platform. Compare within a platform, never across platforms.
The hotel that publishes this site
Full disclosure, on every page that touches a competitor: this site is run by the commercial side of the Gran Hotel Peñíscola. That is why the figures above are published whole, with their dates and their weak points, and why this page carries no claim that Apartamentos Tamarindos Peñíscola is worse than anything.
The honest case for our own hotel is not that it scores highest — it does not, and our best-rated page names who does. It is that it has by far the largest volume of reviews in town, 4,427 on Booking at 8.2/10 (7 August 2026), which makes its figures the hardest in Peñíscola to move with a handful of stays. It is a four-star on the Playa Norte seafront from 69 € a night, with a spa, and it closes for winter — last night of the season 7 November 2026, reopening 26 February 2027.
