PLAZA INN Schmöker-Hof
Kitchenette comfort for a longer Arriba stay
About this hotel
PLAZA INN Schmöker-Hof stands out for its family rooms with private bathrooms and kitchenettes, a genuine convenience for a household managing snacks and bottles across a multi-night Arriba trip. The garden and terrace give kids room to run off pool-day energy before dinner, while the on-site restaurant means an evening doesn't always require piling everyone back in the car. Parquet floors and a proper work desk in each room round out a stay that leans toward comfort over minimalism, and the four-kilometre drive to Arriba is short enough to fit around naps and mealtimes without much friction. Bathrooms come with a proper walk-in shower for rinsing off chlorine before dinner, a small detail that matters more on a longer stay than a single overnight.

- On-site restaurant
- Garden and terrace
Our take
The kitchenette-equipped family rooms make this a strong choice for a stay of three nights or more, where cooking a simple breakfast or snack for young kids saves both time and money. The on-site restaurant and garden add real flexibility for evenings. Families wanting to walk to Arriba rather than drive should look at properties closer to the water park's entrance.
- ✓Use the in-room kitchenette for breakfast on an early Arriba morning, saving the buffet queue for a slower day.
- ✓Book the on-site restaurant ahead for a weekend evening, since it's popular with hotel guests after a pool day.
- ✓Let the kids burn off the last of their energy in the garden before a post-Arriba dinner.

Why guests love itFor a family staying four nights around Arriba, the in-room kitchenette turns out to be the quiet hero of the trip, handling breakfast for two young kids without a queue at the buffet every single morning. The garden gives everyone a place to decompress before the on-site restaurant, which saves a car trip on the nights nobody has the energy for anything else. The short drive to Arriba each day becomes background noise rather than a chore by the second or third visit.
