Hotel Punta Negra

We had the Seaview room with balcony. The room was great. The view awesome. The breakfast was incredible !

My husband & I spent 2 weeks at this hotel on bed & breakfast basis. Here is what we think. Hope you find it useful PROS - 2 lovely pools plenty of beds Nice beach, again, plenty of beds/brollies. We preferred to use the grassy area behind the beach which also has plenty of beds etc. Shallow water at beach - so good for kids Gardens are beautiful and well maintained. Location is nice ( see cons re flight path! ) and the views on a sunny day are gorgeous. Our room was adequate and serviced well. Lots of storage space. Although the website says they don't turn on Aircon until end June, they do turn it on if asked. They also provided us with a kettle in our room when asked, though tea/coffee/milk had to be bought at the local shop. Best WiFi we have ever experienced in a hotel anywhere. Strong in the garden/pool area too. Pool/beach staff attentive. All bar staff were good. A special mention for the only member of the restaurant staff who made a positive difference to our breakfast experience - Rafaella, thankyou. You are a star. Breakfast was ok on the whole but would benefit from an omelette station in order to have something hot to eat ( their 'hot' selection is lukewarm at best and by the time you get it to your table, it's cold. CONS - The sunbeds are very hard and have the choice of just one angle .. or flat.! We know these beds can come with a cushion as they are the same as the ones at Bombarde beach and they had cushions! I used my flight neck pillow a lot You are on the direct flight path for Alghero airport and the local military training airport which are less than 4 miles away so that should tell you how low they come over the hotel. Our bed in our room was so hard ( I appreciate that this may be a pro for some ) We asked for mattress toppers and these were provided which helped a little. The shower cubicle was very small and the water pressure is dismal. The drain in there was covered by a loose tile, and trying to shower whilst avoiding this obstacle required some skill. When it rained the roof above our room was extremely noisy. All in all I think we paid a lot of money for what we got. 4 star in Italy may be different to elsewhere maybe?

Definitely not a family friendly hotel. We have just returned from a 10 night stay. On numerous occasions our kids were told to be quiet around the pool area and on a few occasions while they were quietly throwing a small ball to each other on a grassy area by the pool were told by the lifeguard to move to a different area - a secluded grassy area at the back of the pool. We did not feel comfortable with this!!! This continued for the full 10 days, we found it very upsetting and it spoilt the holiday for us all. I approached reception and explained our issue, I was told a manager would contact me but I never heard from anyone. We have travelled all over Europe for the past 12 years with our children and have never had an issue with noise in any hotel we have stayed in. I feel this hotel wants to cater for adults only and therefore it needs to advertised as such. We didn't complain about the piano being played on the terrace every night until Midnight but our children were told not to play with a ball at 3pm in the day in case they woke sleeping guests!! I agree with the reviews about the strong smell of egg coming from the beach, but the beach is well maintained and seaweed is cleared up everyday by staff. Stunning views and overall a lovely hotel but I would not go back or recommend to anyone with children. A very disappointing stay.

Who invited and wants the terrible piano-player under our balcony ?? We stay here for rest, not form music. Keep the music in the bar and not outside 😡. The beach is dirty and stinks !! Photos of the private beach at the hotel do not reflect reality.
