Cap Negret Hotel

I'm late in posting this review but all I will say is that our stay was Fabulous. We did upgrade to a Premier room at a discounted price and it was worth every penny as we were here for 2 weeks and a nice view/room is important to us. Restaurant was fine as, was the food, not great but nothing to complain about. Layout and seating areas very well designed and sun beds always available. Entertainment was good. We thought the locatoon was Fabulous. It's a 15 mins walk into beautiful Altea but there is a free , bookable shuttle service. The local train/bus service is close and very good. The one shuttle driver Alex is exceptional, helpful and courteous. We weren't to impressed with the other driver ( glasses and works on reception ) drives far too fast. He wasn't that good on reception either !. Reception staff were excellent with special mention to Isabelle. Bar and waiting staff work very hard, and they are short staffed but they always had a smile and were very polite. We will definitely come back but would only book a Premier room but not one on the dark inside location or facing the car park.

We really liked this hotel, when we arrived we were offered an upgrade of rooms and we decided to pay the extra for the sea view superior rooms and it was worth it, the views were great over the sea and the rooms were very nice, very modern and clean and had everything we needed. Tea/coffee, fridge & mini bar, complimentary water, hairdryer, lots of hotel mini bathroom products. The staff were all really friendly and the restaurant was nice and the buffet food was good (not amazing but pretty good for a large hotel buffet). Although we booked half board and that didn’t even include water with dinner, all drinks were extra although they were quite cheap. They had an information desk which was useful, they organised car hire for us. They hotel isn’t strictly adults only but we didn’t see many children and there aren’t really any facilities to accommodate kids. The hotel itself is on the beach and there is a nice 10/15 minute walk along a path/track to the main town, it was easy to follow and well maintained and reception gave us a map. You could walk along the road but it is quite busy with traffic. You could also walk along the beach at low tide. The town of Altea is lovely and lots of nice bars and restaurants along the front. The walk up to the Old Town is really worth all the steps although I think there is complimentary hotel bus that drops of and picks up at the top.

Reception had a trainee that was friendly and professional, she explain where my room was and asked if i wanted to upgrade for a better room for a small fee. And also where breakfast area was. My first stay at Cap Negret and i felt welcomed. Room was on the right wing with balcony facing the courtyard and the left wing. It was a non furbished room, bathroom ok, bed ok with a small tv on the work counter. Room was nicely cleaned upon arrival. Pleasant breakfast area with good variety, chef made omelet and eggs is always neat. Only thing missing was natural fresh squeezed orange juice and more choice of organic products would be great. Walk to Altea town is about 20-25 minutes, it depends which way you chose ( waling path or follow the main road). Free parking included. I recommend this hotel and i will be back!
