Escape to Paradise: Your Unforgettable Stay at Rural Hotel Suquin, Navia, Spain
Escape to Paradise? More Like Escape to Bliss (and Maybe a Little Bit of Laundry Drama): A Review of Rural Hotel Suquin, Navia, Spain
Okay, so, "Escape to Paradise"? That's what they call it. And honestly? They ain't far off. Rural Hotel Suquin in Navia, Spain, is… well, it's something. Let me pull up a chair, grab a virtual caña, and tell you the whole truth, mess and all. Because let's be honest, perfect reviews are usually…well, suspect, right?
First Impressions & Navigating the Chaos (of Perfection):
Getting there? Easy peasy. Plenty of car parking [free of charge] which, let's face it, is a HUGE win in this day and age. The airport transfer they offered was smooth as silk (although, I'm pretty sure the driver kept humming the Game of Thrones theme tune. Charming!). They've got a car park [on-site] too, just in case you're feeling fancy and need to park right next to the door.
Okay, so the check-in. Check-in/out [express] and Contactless check-in/out are advertised. And… they did work! This place is not messing around with the COVID protocols. And honestly, I appreciated it. They are really serious, which made me feel safe, given what's been happening.
Accessibility: My Wheelchair's Take
Now, the big one: wheelchair accessible. They say it is. And… it mostly is. The public areas – elevator, restaurant, public toilets – were all generally navigable. The staff was super willing to help with heavy doors. But I did spot a couple of spots where the ramps might have been a smidge steeper… maybe a slight re-do on those?
Inside the Room: A Sanctuary (Mostly)
My room? Clean. Spotlessly clean. Like, professionally cleaned – and they actually use Anti-viral cleaning products. I'm talking gleam and glitter. The room sanitization opt-out available is nice, too. I’ll be honest, I felt they were being careful. The Rooms sanitized between stays are a real plus. The smoke alarms felt reassuring, and I loved the smoke detector.
And the room itself? Wonderful. Air conditioning, thank god. Blackout curtains? Essential for catching some Zzz's. Wi-Fi [free] and it actually worked! They also had Internet access – LAN if you're a dinosaur like me. There was a desk! And a laptop workspace. I even had a mirror, thank goodness!
The extra long bed? Oh yes. Absolutely worth it.
Food Glorious Food (and the Quirks That Came With It!)
Listen, I went full-on glutton here. This is the Spain I’ve always dreamed of. The restaurant situation? Stellar. They have A la carte in restaurant, but the real winner was the Breakfast [buffet]. Oh. My. God. From the Asian breakfast (yes, really! And it was good!), to the mountain of Western breakfast delights, you’re covered. Think fresh fruit, local hams, crusty bread… I ate myself silly every morning and took advantage of the Breakfast takeaway service on the days I was feeling particularly lazy.
They also had a Vegetarian restaurant, and I loved the soup in restaurant almost every night. The Poolside bar was a real game-changer. You could enjoy a drink by the pool, order a bite, I thought.
Wellness & Relaxation: A True Paradise
Right, so the real reason you come here. They have a Spa! And the Pool with view is breathtaking. But… let me go on a tangent here.
The sauna… It was amazing! I spent hours in there. And then the massage? Oh, incredible. I may have dozed off and drooled a tiny bit. It was that good. I went for the Body scrub and Body wrap as well! They also have a steamroom. Seriously top-notch.
And, if you're feeling energetic, there’s a Fitness center too. I did try to do some exercise, but the lure of the pool and the endless supply of tapas won out.
The Little Things - A Mixed Bag:
- Cleanliness and safety: The Daily disinfection in common areas are essential. I feel safe, and they had Hand sanitizer everywhere. They had a First aid kit, which is essential.
- Services and conveniences: Daily housekeeping was impeccable. They have Laundry service, which saved my life. However, the Ironing service? Let’s just say my shirts arrived looking like I’d slept in them. Which, to be fair, I probably had.
- For the kids: They are Family/child friendly. I saw many happy kids!
The Tiny Imperfections (Because Let’s Be Real):
- The internet glitches every once in a while. It was enough to give me a digital headache.
- My bathrobes weren’t always the cleanest.

Unbelievable Chalet in Fulpmes, Stubai Valley: Your Austrian Dream Awaits!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this ain't your sanitized travel brochure itinerary. This is the REAL DEAL, a messy, glorious, potentially disastrous journey through the heart of Asturias, with Hotel Rural Suquin Navia as our glorious, hopefully not-too-rural, base.
Asturias: My Love Letter (and Maybe a Breakup Note?) to Paradise
Day 1: Arrival – The "Where the Heck Are We?" Phase
- Morning (aka, the Before Coffee Phase): Flight… well, let’s just say it involved a screaming toddler, questionable airplane food, and my inherent fear of turbulence reaching new, previously-unexplored heights. I arrived at the airport in Oviedo, clutching my passport like it was the last piece of chocolate in the world, and practically vibrating with anxiety. Found my rental car… which, against all odds, was actually the model I’d booked. Score!
- Afternoon (Post-Coffee-Fueled Quest): The drive! Oh, the drive. Winding roads, sheer cliffs, the kind of scenery that makes you want to simultaneously weep and take a thousand pictures. I nearly drove off a cliff twice trying to manage the steering wheel on the wrong side of the road. I was driving up these mountain roads at a snail’s pace, barely daring to blink. I was terrified. I had a horrible, nagging thought, what if I had the wrong car? It's a terrifying thought, but it's happened before.
- Late Afternoon/Evening: Suquin Arrival & Initial Panic. Finally, FINALLY, I found Hotel Rural Suquin. And Oh. My. God. It's even MORE charming than the pictures. Stone walls, flower boxes overflowing with colour, a view that steals your breath (or at least, mine). Then the unpacking. The realization that half my clothes are wrinkled. The sudden, overwhelming urge to nap. I swear, I could sleep for a week.
- Before Dinner (The Struggle is Real): First encounter with Spanish tapas. I ordered something called "Pulpo a la Gallega"… which, as it turns out, is octopus. I'm a vegetarian, so it was not only not for me, but actually for some of the company. That's the fun of travel, isn't it? I had to order something else.
- Dinner (Oh, The Bliss!): They gave us a table outside, overlooking the valley. The air smells impossibly clean, the stars are starting to prick the sky. The food? To die for. Seriously. I had a simple salad and then some fantastic veggies, fresh from the garden, and I swear, I almost cried.
Day 2: The Coastal Charm and the Almost-Lost Wallet
- Morning (The "Slightly Less Panicked" Phase): Coffee on the terrace. Reassuring myself that my Spanish is not, in fact, complete garbage. Decide to hit the coast!
- Late Morning/Early Afternoon: Navia & Luarca: Drive to Navia. Wander the charming streets, buy a ridiculously oversized ice cream cone (because, why not?) and take a look at the shops. Walked along the harbor in Luarca, that gorgeous little seaside town. I swear, the air smells like salt and sunshine. I took about a million photos, capturing the essence of a perfect afternoon. Except…
- The Wallet Scare!: I went into a shop, bought some trinkets, reached for my wallet… and it was GONE. Panic ensued. I retraced my steps, asked for help, and started to feel that familiar wave of dread. Then, a kind shopkeeper came running out, waving my wallet in the air! Apparently, I'd dropped it. The relief was overwhelming! Almost a cardiac arrest. Lesson learned: keep a very tight grip on your belongings when you're this happy. And tip generously.
- Late Afternoon/Evening: Beach Day (Almost): I wanted to go to a specific beach, but the roads were so winding. I got frustrated, circled back, and ended up back in Luarca. It was still great. I’m glad that I spent the time driving, and now I might have some appreciation for the place.
Day 3: Hiking the Picos de Europa (And Regretting All Those Late Nights)
- Morning (The "Sore Muscles and Eternal Regret" Phase): Woke up feeling…well, I'll be brutally honest, I felt like I'd been run over by a bus. My legs were screaming after yesterday's hike that I took. But the views were worth it. Seriously. Breathtaking.
- Late Morning/Early Afternoon: The Hike of Doom (Picos de Europa): Picked a trail that sounded "moderate." Lies! All lies! It was a grueling uphill climb, and me, being a slightly-out-of-shape human, was struggling. But when I reached the top? Holy. Crap. The mountains! The valleys! The air so thin and crisp it felt like a religious experience. I took a 100 photos, but none of them can capture the true essence of the place. It was just… epic.
- Afternoon (The "I Survived!" Feast): Returned to the hotel. Had a massive, carb-loaded dinner. Felt completely, utterly, gloriously exhausted. And strangely, completely alive.
Day 4: Hotel Rural Suquin - The Deep Dive
- Morning: The hotel! Let's just stay home! Today, I'm going to really explore the hotel. I didn't get the chance earlier! I'm finally going to take one of those glorious showers, maybe lounge in the sun for an hour.
- Afternoon Deep dive! I'm taking a cooking class! I'm going to make a paella! No pressure. I would have already done it, honestly, since Day 1.
- Evening: Well, the class was… interesting. Let's just say I think the chef did most of the work. But I tried, right? We ended the day with the biggest meal of the trip. My stomach hurts, my face feels like it's been inflated with air, but I'm so happy.
- Night: Sleep. I’m going to need it.
Day 5: Departure – The "Goodbye, and Please Take Me Back!" Phase
- Morning: Final breakfast. Another heart-stopping view. A massive wave of sadness washes over me, mixed with a longing to stay forever.
- Late Morning: Final drive back to the airport. This time, I have a much better idea of how to drive.
- Afternoon: The inevitable airport drama (delayed flights, missed connections, etc.). But, looking back, it's a small price to pay.
- Evening: Back home! Jet lag and an overwhelming desire to eat more Spanish food. Okay, I'm already planning my return.
Observations, Ramblings, and Utter Truths:
- The Food: Oh. My. God. The food. I'm pretty sure I gained five pounds. Worth it.
- The People: Warm, welcoming, genuinely kind. Even when I butchered their language.
- The Weather: Mostly sunshine, with a healthy dose of dramatic cloud formations. Perfect.
- The "Almost Disaster": That missing wallet incident. It taught me to be grateful, the kindness of strangers is still very real.
- The Imperfections: Road signs in Spanish still confuse me. The hike almost killed me. I probably looked like a lost tourist half the time. But it all added to the experience.
- The Emotional Takeaway: I fell in love with Asturias. It's a wild, beautiful, slightly chaotic place. And I can't wait to go back… with a better sense of direction and maybe a slightly less-tight grip on my wallet!
