Albaruja Hotel

Wonderful location, the Costa Rei beach is stunning with crystal clear water (perfect for families with children of all ages) and light golden sand, the beach is clean and in June, not too crowded. The hotel is 150m from the beach, right next to the hotel is a resto/pizzeria so if you arrive later in the day, lunch/dinner is easy albeit somewhat simple. Opposite the hotel is a little supermarket for anything extra you might need. Given all the facilities near to the hotel, a car rental is not necessary if staying for a few days in that area. Beware, inflation has hit Italy and it’s quite expensive to shop or dine out. What you’re paying for at Hotel Albaruja is prime location to the wonderful beach, but you will probably not go to the pool there as there are not enough shaded areas, and it’s scorching heat June through August, probably strategic to get the clients off premises. Breakfast was good quality but the selection is small and there were no fresh juices available, 1 concentrated juice put in a glass container and 1 big glass container of cold water. Coffee at the bar is charged extra from what I’ve gathered, the machine available for clients (self-service) at breakfast makes coffee but it’s not great. The room was clean and the bedding was fine but this is absolutely not 4* quality, it’s a good 3* max, which is fine depending on your expectations. Also their “bistro” does not serve a proper cooked lunch, a selection of sandwiches is what you’ll be offered, so the only meal you’ll probably eat there is breakfast. Treat yourself to dinner at the Aragosta restaurant less than 10 minutes away on foot, kind and efficient service with top quality food.

Beautiful little hotel in the most perfect location. Each room has its own little garden or balcony. The staff were extremely friendly, nothing was too much trouble and the beach is literally a 5 min walk. The rooms were a good size, with a little fridge and huge bed and probably the best pillow I’ve ever had . A little old fashioned but this really didn’t matter as everything was so perfect. Beautiful pool area and breakfast was also delicious. This was also included in the price. We were gutted we only had 1 night as neither of us wanted to leave. Thank you for a lovely stay :)

The location close to beach is what saves this place. Let’s start with the good: Easy parking outside Receptionists are friendly and helpful Breakfast food selection is good You can borrow a parasol and chairs for the beach. They have a beach bar where you can get some cold drinks and nibbles. The bad: Pool is dirty, tiles are green, it’s also emptier than it should be. So are the paths around it, never saw anyone cleaning. Room was big but dark and dated, grey/brown walls and lighting don’t help. Bistro opens at 5:30 pm, nothing served before if you are in the hotel. Location is by the side of a busy road and local noise and music on weekends is loud. Breakfast staff is friendly but in need of training,it’s of plates on people’s tables they never cleared, even when they were free they didn’t have the initiative to do it without being asked

Wonderful hotel to take in all the beauty Loved this hotel! Super friendly staff from the front desk, housekeeping, restaurant and beach club! Grounds and are well taken care of and wonderful to admire while you walk to and from your room. Our room was nice and had plenty of space to relax along with a balcony. The free breakfast is delicious and the beach club has great service. Loved the beach access which is situated right down the street and has a dedicated area for the hotel guests.

Wonderful hotel great staff and super beach cannot recommend it enough

Came to stay without a reservation after being let down by who we originally booked with. We were welcomed straight away with friendly English speaking staff and we were very comfortable in our new, clean room with a petty patio seating area at the back. The hotel has a modern swimming and sunbathing area and the grounds are filled with beautiful trees and flowers. The restaurant menu is very limited so we didn’t try is but the breakfast that was included was very nice and had lots of pastries, cakes, fruit and scrambled egg to choose from. We loved our emergency stay and wish we could stay longer.
