If you're searching for a Mediterranean restaurant that combines both quality food and spectacular…read morenatural landscaping to create a dining experience that's truly magical, Panorama is just that. My friend and I enjoyed a fantastic lunch at Panorama one afternoon, and were highly impressed. The views of the Mediterranean coastline were stunning, as we sat on the terrace. Every one of our senses were invigorated by the food, the drinks, and the scents drifting through the air. The restaurant is designed to be minimalistic, using the view as its sole décor. Situated in the Marina Real Juan Carlos, Panorama's floor to ceiling glass windows and open-air terrace offer the best view of the Las Arenas beach, with the water of the Mediterranean Sea and the busy marina. We started with the sashimi trilogy: tuna, salmon, and butterfish. The fish was fresh and flavorful, with each having a different taste. My friend loved the octopus over creamed potatoes and oak-smoked olive oil. The oil had a smoky, woodsy flavor which was a perfect contrast to the taste of the sea from the octopus. We shared Valencian Fideua, vermicelli with fish and seafood from Gandia. The pasta was thin and tender, while the seafood had a great taste. The portions were perfect for sharing, and we had more than enough. For dessert, my friend indulged in brownie in hot chocolate soup and vanilla bourbon ice cream. She said the vanilla was sweet and balanced with the complexity of the bourbon flavor. I savored the taste of the light crème brulee with lemon coulis and toffee ice cream, which was buttery, creamy, and the lemon flavor gave a burst of citrus freshness. Since Panorama has a modern style of the traditional torrija, Spanish-style French toast, we had to try it. It was delicious!

This place is definitely just a good view, the problem is that most tables have 0 view of the…read more ocean. I called ahead and asked if we would be at a table able to see the ocean. The lady said yes and then we were seated at a table with 0 view of it. The service was the worst part. Waiters forgot three of our dishes and it was impossible to get their attention. Everything took forever and just felt like no one wanted to help us. It took 20 mins to get the check. The food was just okay. It was not terrible but definitely not worth the price at all. Would be a 3 star if the service was better.

Delicious!! We unanimously loved the paellas and sangrias! The restaurant was busy for a good reason in my opinion. Absolutely recommend if you are visiting!

Stumbled on this place in the off season as we were only in town one night and looking for…read moresomewhere cool. Gabbana Beach could've been a 5 star hotel after all the hostels we'd been in. But really, it was a great hotel and cheap. About 45-50 euro/night and right on the beach in Valencia. Location: The area is a strip of clubs, bars, restaurants, and hotels right on the beach. I'm sure it gets a bit crazy in the summer, but we were there during off season and it was pretty mellow. It's a bit outside of the center, but nothing a 8 euro taxi ride can't fix. There's also buses that pick up right there but we found it easiest to just taxi into city center (or drive if you have a car). Beachfront: the whole strip there was a lot of fun, lots of cool, modern bars/clubs/hotels. Pretty much every building is a hotel with a club/restaurant/bar downstairs. Prices: Rooms are cheap. Drinks were a bit pricey, but given the "club" vibe their going for, they are right in line. Restaurant: they didn't have one, which was unfortunate as you get 15% off in their bar. But there are plenty on the strip there. Next door had a delicious burger with all sorts of exotic meats and toppings. I had an ostrich burger with a Madagascar black bean topping and onion rings. Rich, but absolutely delicious. I wish more places served ostrich now. Wifi: They had free wifi, as most places do. But its worth mentioning. Rooms: I don't know if it was just our room or if they're all like this, but definitely geared toward sexy time. The shower is a large circular shower seperating the sink/bathroom from the room. There's a large bench in the shower and it has two thin vertical windows facing the bedroom along with the glass shower door facing the sink. It also has 3 knob, 8 button light control just for the shower! Are you kidding? You can choose light colors, patterns, speed, etc. Kind of cool. Toilet also has a clear glass door so if you're self conscious about your partner and/or roomie watching you.... this is not the toilet for you. Multiple stays: they give discounts for repeat stays. It's something like 10% off second stay, 20% third, 30% fourth, etc up until about %50 the 6th+ stay. So if you frequent the area it can be cheap. All-in-all, the price was great, and the room was modern and upscale, and I would stay here again. Only complaint is lack of a restaurant.

At this venue, a lot of the allure is the location; dining with the beach steps away. An unobstructed view of the Mediterranean is never going to be a thrifty meal.

We wanted to order a paella for 2 which she said is impossible because we would need to order for 8 people...i'm attaching a picture if the menu which indicates something different. We then decided to finish our drinks only and leave to which the waitress commented that the restaurant is for "food, not only drinks" and took out plates. For what is considered a high class restaurant, this was a really poor experience unfortunately. Not sure I would recommend unless you are a Spanish speaker. P.S. the bread and water that was delivered to the table without being ordered was also charged on the bill. Not sure why, but didn't want to argue at that point. Waitress was a slim, short female with short curly blond hair. Not sure if she was having a bad day but I wouldn't recommend at all.
