Traveling with children changes the way you choose a hotel. It is not enough for a place to be beautiful or well located: children need their own space, parents need to be able to truly relax, and the experience needs to work for everyone at the same time. Valentin Sancti Petri is designed with exactly that in mind. With 549 rooms, 25,000 m² of tropical gardens, and a range of services catering to everyone from babies to teenagers, it is one of the leading family hotels on the coast of Chiclana de la Frontera.
Rooms designed for families
The hotel offers several room categories specifically designed for families. The Family Rooms measure 36 m² and consist of two connecting bedrooms: one with a double bed and the other with two single beds, with the option of adding an extra bed in each bedroom. They feature two full bathrooms and two furnished terraces. There are three versions depending on the views: standard, pool view, and private garden, the latter including sun loungers.
For families looking for more space or traveling in larger groups, the Senior Suite offers 85 m² with two bedrooms, a central living room, two terraces, two full bathrooms, one of them with a Jacuzzi, and capacity for up to six guests.
The Superior Rooms, measuring 25 m², can also accommodate families: two beds placed together plus a sofa bed, with a maximum occupancy of three adults and one child. Several Standard room categories also offer complimentary cots, making them a practical option for families traveling with babies.
Kids' clubs by age: from 0 to 16 years
One of the hotel's main strengths for families is the structure of its kids' clubs, organized by age group so that every child can enjoy activities suited to their stage of development:
Baby Club for babies aged 0 to 3, available during high season. Mini Club for children aged 4 to 6. Maxi Club for children aged 7 to 9. Junior Club for those aged 10 to 12. And Teenis Club for teenagers aged 13 to 16, a detail that many family hotels overlook and one that can make a real difference for families traveling with older children.
The children's entertainment program includes sports, dance classes, creative activities, games, and childcare. Adults also have their own entertainment program, with musical shows and evening performances suitable for all ages.
Pools for all ages
The hotel offers four pool options: two outdoor pools with Jacuzzis, a dedicated children's pool for younger guests, and an indoor heated pool maintained between 26 and 28 degrees Celsius, with a Jacuzzi in the relaxation area. This means families can enjoy the water regardless of the time of year or the day's weather conditions.
Playground and games area
The playground is designed for children aged 4 to 12 and is located within the hotel grounds, surrounded by tropical gardens. Children must always be accompanied by an adult. The hotel also features a games and reading area with child-friendly furniture, designed for quieter moments of family leisure.
Dining options for every taste
When it comes to dining, the hotel offers five restaurants with options suited to the needs of families. The Zahara and Cazorla buffet restaurants, each with capacity for more than 500 guests, offer show cooking and extensive opening hours from 8:00 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Levante Restaurant, with its à la carte service, is specifically designed to satisfy younger guests as well as the rest of the family, with a varied international menu.
For more informal moments, El Mercado del Sur serves Andalusian tapas on a terrace overlooking the gardens and pool, while VAVÁ Playa, the hotel's beach restaurant on La Barrosa, offers a seaside dining experience with salads, burgers, fresh fish, and cocktails, ideal for family lunches by the beach.
La Barrosa Beach: the perfect complement
The hotel has direct access to La Barrosa Beach, one of the longest stretches of sand in the province of Cádiz, extending for more than seven kilometers and regularly awarded Blue Flag status. Its size makes it particularly comfortable for families: there is plenty of space even on the busiest days, the seabed is sandy, and the waters are clean and calm along most of the beach.
Activities and sports in the surrounding area
Beyond the hotel, Novo Sancti Petri offers a wide variety of sports and activities for active families, including golf, tennis, surfing, football, horse riding, and karting. The hotel also offers a bicycle rental service for exploring the surrounding natural landscapes, an activity that is particularly enjoyable with older children.
Valentin Sancti Petri with the family: one base, many possibilities
The combination of age-specific kids' clubs, a variety of swimming pools, a playground, direct beach access, and a wide range of dining options makes Valentin Sancti Petri a solid choice for families looking for a hotel in Chiclana where children are well looked after and adults can enjoy a relaxing holiday. Families can also combine their stay with excursions to the city of Cádiz, the region's white villages, or the natural surroundings of the Bay of Cádiz Natural Park, all less than an hour from the hotel.
