ZT Hotel & Spa Peñíscola Plaza Suites

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

The hotel most people still call Peñíscola Plaza Suites now trades as the ZT Hotel & Spa Peñíscola Plaza Suites, and the spa in that name is real: the hotel’s own site includes a spa circuit per person per stay with several of its suite categories, and the Spa Minos centre states that its Peñíscola premises are inside this hotel, at the same address. No source gives the size of that circuit, so we print none. What the four-star also has, verified from its own website, is the only all-inclusive board in Peñíscola: breakfast, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner and the drinks on its all-inclusive list. Half board and full board are also available.

It stands at number 156 of Avenida Papa Luna, about 254 metres from the water and a good 4.3 kilometres from the castle — the far end of town from the old walls, on the same seafront avenue as the Gran Hotel Peñíscola and Apartamentos Tamarindos, between the two — which is why we mark it as seafront, while still printing the 254 metres, because the avenue and the measured line to the shore are two different questions. That distance from the old town is the trade-off for the space: family pools, a children’s activity programme and a buffet restaurant. Parking is not stated on its own website, which we checked, so we do not list it.

The review picture is the most divided of any hotel in town, and it is worth reading carefully rather than averaging. Google gives it 4.2 out of 5 across 9,414 reviews — more opinions than any hotel in town has collected except the Gran Hotel Peñíscola, which publishes this site. TripAdvisor gives it 3.6 out of 5 across 2,701. Booking sits between them at 8.3 out of 10 over 5,377. Three audiences, three verdicts, and no honest way to merge them. From 70 € a night.

Where it is, measured

Distances are straight-line from the verified coordinates, not walking routes.

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.

The TripAdvisor score is derived from the published distribution of ratings, not a figure TripAdvisor displays.

TripAdvisor ranks it number 16 of 43 places to stay in Peñíscola.

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.

Sub-scores are read with the overall score of the same platform, on the same date.

What guests write about

Counted from the review text rather than summarised into a star: how often each theme appears on each side, over the reviews analysed for this hotel.

Booking.com · 450 reviews analysed

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:

• Parking
• Destinia
• Central de Reservas

Where it sits among the 37 places we track

Its starting rate of 70 € is below the median of 77 € across the 24 properties that publish one, which run from 50 € to 120 €.

On Booking its 8.3/10 over 5,377 reviews puts it at number 29 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 ZT Hotel & Spa Peñíscola Plaza Suites 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.
