Hotels near Spiaggia del Cantaro, Alghero

We’ve just had 9 days at this beautiful hotel in a double superior room with balcony overlooking sea and pool. Room was large, modern and clean. Lovely large bathroom with complimentary products and hairdryer. Mini bar and safe also. Huge storage / hanging space in wardrobes. We asked for a rollaway bed for our daughter which was kindly provided. All staff were lovely and very helpful. Pool is large with plenty of sun beds and never an issue finding one no matter what time we went to the pool (opens at 10). We hired a car and always able to park near hotel or in their small car park. Walk to old town is a gentle 15 min stroll along the stunning seafront road with market sellers at night, bars and restaurants en-route too. Overall a wonderful stay in beautiful Alghero and will surely return to this hotel.

We stayed 4 nights and the only two positive notes of the hotel are the central and very convenient location and the very courteous staff. From the photos I had very high expectations which were completely disappointed. We were assigned a room with a window that overlooked an extra wall covered by scaffolding which made it very dark. The furnishings leave much to be desired as they are dated and an unpleasant smell inside the room. On the second day we used the room cleaning service and the bubble bath was not replaced. For what we paid I expected a lot more considering that breakfast was not included in the price either.

I booked this hotel for a one night stay in a June through **********. My husband and I were flying into Alghero in the evening and leaving the next morning for other sites in Sardinia. Our flight was delayed and I emailed the hotel from the airport telling them we would be arriving rather late, around 10:30. When we arrived, there was no one there. We rang the bell and no one answered we called the number posted on the door for assistance for over 40 minutes and nobody answered the phone. We had no choice but to leave and find another place to stay - luckily we did. I phoned ********** who spoke with the hotel - they would not refund our pre-paid money for our stay. This was terrible service in my mind both from the hotel, and from **********. I have the record in my phone of the phone calls, and photos showing I was at the hotel. Still they saw fit to charge me for a room I did not use, even when I gave them as much advance notice as I could about the late arrival. I travel a lot for work and personally and have honestly never had such a terrible experience. I will not be using ********** anymore and certainly can’t recommend this establishment.

We stayed the the Hotel Donomea for Three Nights and what a wonderful experience, from the Reception Staff to the Breakfast Staff and Cleaners it was First Class.The room was spacious and comfortable with a big bed and a safe and tea making facilities, the Bathroom was really nice with Double Sinks and a Walk in Shower which I love as it's so much safer then an overbath Shower,Breakfast was good with a wide variety for every taste,both hot and cold,it was a ten minute walk to the Old Town and around Fifteen to the Port which is full of fabulous Restaurants.I would highly recommend Latino Restaurant/Bar for good food and drinks at very reasonable prices and excellent customer service and overlooking the beautiful Port,the building is also steeped in History, stay away from Kings Restaurant as it is very expensive and the food is very mediocre, we were shocked at the price.There is a lovely Pizzeria as you turn left out of Hotel across the road,also very good food and very good value,in actual fact there are lots of restaurants in the vicinity of the Hotel.The rooftop pool area is not great and very overlooked but we were not there for sunbathing. We loved Alghero and would definitely stay at Hotel Donomea on our next visit. Thank You Hotel Domomea..

This hotel is in a great location in the centre of Alghero just a short walk to the waterfront and old town. Our room on the third floor was clean and tidy (and kept that way throughout our stay) but lacked storage. There were hardly any drawers for undies, etc. and just an exposed rail for other clothes. The bed was large and comfortable, the shower very efficient and always plenty of hot water. Our room overlooked the street so quite noisy with the window open but, fortunately, the air conditioning functioned! Breakfast choice was limited but ok, however the thing that let it all down and prevented me giving it a higher rating were the staff especially in the restaurant - unsmiling, grumpy and not very helpful. They all need to go to charm school!

Male. Abbiamo fatto solo una notte in questo hotel , fortunatamente. Appena arrivati alle 19 .30 ci accorgiamo che il frigo non raffreddava e inoltre c'era acqua sotto il frigo. Segnaliamo il problema e ci dicono che sarebbero venuti in stanza a verificare il problema, ma non si è visto nessuno. Alle 20 30 usciamo e chiediamo se potevano risolvere il problema mentre eravamo fuori per cena e ci assicurano che lo avrebbero fatto. Quando siamo tornati a mezzanotte chiediamo se avevano risolto ma niente. Il ragazzo allora si rivolge al manutentore che si trovava all'accoglienza in quel momento e gli risponde che non aveva nessuna intenzione di andare a quell'ora e che sarebbe andato domani. Il problema che noi non lo avevamo segnalato a mezzanotte ma alle 19 30. In generale dell'albergo si salva solo la posizione

PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING: For our 5 night stay in Sardinia, we booked a family room at this “4 star” hotel The lobby felt like a “hospital lobby” as my daughter noted. We went to our room on the second floor - carpets were dirty, almost black in spots and cleaning products were left in the hall (not the cleaning cart, random sprays. When we got to the room- rm 215, - it was small, with four beds lined up next to each other. The bathroom was tiny, with a small triangular shower. The terrace had old dining room furniture (other terraces had armchairs). The view was mostly looking into people’s apartments/ terraces. The worst part was the beds. My husband has a bad back and these beds were terrible. I also had a very hard time sleeping and my back is now cramped up - the last thing you’d want on a vacation. For what we paid - approx $450 per night, we expected more. This hotel advertises as 4* but it is far far from it. We tried to check out the first day (Saturday) but we were told there was no manager and please wait until Monday, so we tried our best with the hotel, thinking we would give it a shot, and stayed for two nights. With our backs feeling the pain, we went and spoke to the manager on Monday morning asking for a refund for the three remaining nights we paid for at check in - she refused. She offered to find us a room at their sister hotel - Hotel Calabona. But we refused, considering that the hotel had already lost our trust in claiming they are 4 star, but at best it’s 3 star. At best. We then tried to be fair, asking for only 2 nights back (and we would just absorb the other night as a penalty) and they still refused. The manager Carla will say that she tried to offer an alternative but again, we only have 5 nights in Sardinia and were unwilling to be bounced to another “4 star” property by the same owners, when the current “4 star” was so poor. She definitely could have helped to save my family’s experience at the hotel but chose not to. Very poor customer service. I vehemently do not recommend this hotel unless you pay under say, $200 per night. Other observations are that there are no umbrellas on the roof for the pool deck so we couldn’t really use the pool for any length of time. And all of the furniture in the common places were dirty from wear. Decor consisted of travel posters in hallways and cheaply potted plants with styrofoam peanuts. They offer a welcome drink of half glass of prosecco.

I had already paid when I saw the really bad review saying not to book as it was a noisy hotel and lots of other very negative comments. But it was a lovely clean hotel we stayed in room 139 myself and my two teenage children. The pool area is very clean lots of sun beds. Table tennis ( my son beat me every time) The Bar and reception staff all very pleasant and helpful with information. The beach opposite is beautiful. We did book the beach bus and visited 2 other beaches but quite honestly the beach opposite was the best one. Breakfast was varied and the cakes were delicious! My son loved the freshly made coffee. It’s a 40 minute walk into Alghero Town we caught the bus into town but walked back and it’s safe to. Booked a boat trip in the harbour but only for half a day as it was so expensive. Only 2 negatives. It was 84 euros city tax ( wasn’t expecting that) And yes there was abit of noise I think we were above the actual kitchen. But it didn’t bother us and I would come to this hotel again for sure. 👍

A very well deserved 4-star hotel where everything works, the staff are friendly, polite and very helpful. They didn’t seem to expect tips. It’s an adult only hotel so quiet with lots of couples. Mostly an older demographic but plenty of younger people too. The internet is everywhere and very fast. Everywhere is very neat and clean. The hotel’s own private sandy beach is 25 meters away from the pools which are seawater filled, one being a jacuzzi. Loungers and shade are plentiful. Beach towels are supplied. The sea is shallow and rocky but there is a jetty with steps to get in at deeper areas. Life guards are on hand for the sea and the pools. The breakfast and lunch food are excellent and dinner in the Gazebo is especially good. Breakfast 7:30 to 10, Lunch 12:30 to 14:30 and Dinner 7:30 to about 10. Gluten free options are easily obtained. Ground decaff. coffee was available. Wine, cocktails and beers are very good and service is perfect. Evening drinks come with a lovely assortment of free snacks. The view over the bay to the mountain is lovely and sitting on the plentiful lawn couches, watching the sun go down is fabulous. They had a lovely singer entertaining us unobtrusively each evening. The room was great, the aircon controllable and as cool as you need it. There was plenty of hot water with good pressure and a bidet. Tea and coffee making, a minibar, robe and slippers as well as a safe were supplied. A nice TV was on the wall all in Italian. Our ‘Superior Room’ had doors to a private patio very near to the pools, beach & bar. We paid approx. €3k B&B including flights and transfers for 7 nights at the end of August. It got up to 31⁰C which was not too bad. There were lovely sea breezes cooling us. Every day was sunny. There is a nice gym, tennis courts (racquets and ball provided) and a Spa as well as a rec. room. Quite a few trips are available and can be booked with a nice special rep. in the foyer. Prices are not low but you do get what you pay for. We didn’t hold back on food & drinks and spent an extra €1,400. We spent €190 on a lovely catamaran trip. There is a bus service to and from Alghero, €5 each way per person, and a taxi costs €29 to €34 each way. Old Alghero not bad but a lot of the restaurants are not great. The hotel food is a hard act to follow. Lots of red coral jewelry shops. Nice walk along the city walls with cafés dotted along it. The nearest shop for water, etc is 1 km from the hotel.
