Hotel Sant Gothard by Nexta

Hotel Sant Gothard by Nexta is a four-star hotel in the Arinsal valley, at Erts in the parish of La Massana. The property sits on the road toward Arinsal and the Comapedrosa Natural Park, around one kilometre from the Arinsal cable car according to the operator. It has a buffet restaurant, bar-cafeteria, seasonal outdoor swimming pool, a small water area with jacuzzi and sauna, free outdoor parking and chargeable indoor parking subject to availability. Its position suits visitors who want hotel facilities and mountain scenery while remaining a short drive or shuttle ride from the Pal Arinsal lift.

The hotel’s rooms provide private bathrooms, television, safe, hairdryer and Wi-Fi. Some room categories have furnished balconies or mountain views, while layouts and outlook vary by room. Booking platforms describe the property as a larger hotel with family rooms and a range of standard room configurations. Travellers should check the exact category’s bed arrangement, balcony and view before booking, particularly when reserving for children or a group. The operator classifies the property as four-star and lists 24-hour reception, room service, free Wi-Fi and sports facilities among the available services.

The buffet restaurant publishes clear daily meal hours. Breakfast is served from 07:00 to 10:00, and dinner from 19:00 to 22:00. The operator describes fresh buffet food including salads, pasta, pizzas and homemade soups. Booking.com also lists breakfast and dinner, with continental, vegetarian and buffet options. Check whether meals are included in the selected board plan, and note that the website does not list a separate lunch window. The bar-cafeteria and poolside terrace provide additional places to relax, with service dependent on season and hotel operation.

The outdoor pool is seasonal, and the operator gives a summer period from 1 July to 31 August. A children’s pool is listed among family facilities. The hotel also offers a relaxation area with jacuzzi and sauna from 16:00 to 21:00. Admission costs €10 per adult for 45 minutes, with access for guests aged 16 and over; children’s access rules differ by age, so contact reception to confirm eligibility and supervision. Adults-only use applies after 18:30. Advance reservation at reception is recommended. This paid water area is separate from the outdoor pool and should not be described as an all-day or complimentary spa amenity.

Additional activities include a games room, children’s play area, mini-golf, petanque, basketball, football and volleyball. The operator also promotes a free Vallnord bus for hotel guests to the ski resort; check the current Line 2 timetable because routes and seasonal service can change. The hotel’s natural surroundings include walking paths on the property and access to the wider Comapedrosa landscape. For longer hikes, review current trail information, elevation gain and weather, and allow adequate time for the return journey. In winter, check road conditions and the ski-area schedule before choosing transport.

Parking is free outdoors. Indoor parking is listed at €22 per day and is subject to space availability on arrival. The operator’s current English service page gives check-in from 15:00 and departure by 11:00. Google Hotels and Booking.com report the same stay times, while Google lists 24-hour reception. Pets are not accepted according to the operator’s service information and FAQ. Contact the hotel at +376 738 787 or recepcio@hotelsantgothard.com for parking, group stays, crib requests or water-area reservations. The hotel address is sometimes shown as Carretera d’Arinsal s/n, AD400 Erts, which distinguishes the property from hotels in the village centre.

The location offers access to both the Arinsal and Ordino-Arcalís mountain areas, but the distances and transport needs differ. The gondola is not directly at the hotel, so confirm the shuttle schedule or plan a car journey before heading to the slopes. In summer, the outdoor pool and sports courts add on-site recreation, while the valley provides routes for hikers and cyclists. Conditions can change quickly at altitude; use local weather and trail updates and carry appropriate equipment. Visitors with mobility needs should contact the property in advance because the Google Hotels profile says the hotel is not accessible, despite broad amenity summaries on some platforms.

For families, the hotel lists a children’s pool, indoor games room and cot requests subject to availability. Sports courts and mini-golf can provide lower-key activities when the weather is unsettled, although individual facilities may have operating or maintenance limits. Guests should ask which activities are open during their season, especially outside the main summer pool period. The operator also offers room service, but the public pages do not give a menu schedule or delivery hours.

Hotel Sant Gothard suits families and mountain travellers who want a pool, meal service and activities in one property. The main practical details are the meal periods, paid limited-capacity water area, summer-only outdoor pool and separate charge for indoor parking. Confirm the shuttle timetable, room layout, child access to the jacuzzi and sauna, and any booking inclusions directly before travel. With those logistics settled, the hotel provides a full-service base in the Arinsal valley, with outdoor facilities in summer and easy onward access to the ski area in winter.
