Hotel Portoconte

So far not a four star experience. Asked to book for dinner when we arrived. No we are full was the reply. Had a great meal at Il Galleone though. Last night the ambience was of a wedding. Nothing wrong with that but the wedding guests were clearly more important than we paying customers here for rather longer. Breakfast was embarrassing. No welcome. Good detritus over uncleared tables. No contact with staff other than one harassed girl who took us to a table, reversed the place name on it and whilst we were halfway through our meal another customer questioned why we were seated at their reserved table! I guess we won't be eating here again this week and Il Galleone will welcome us.

HOTEL PORTOCONTE, ALGHERO: una vera OASI di Accoglienza, Gentilezza, Divertimento e Professionalità. Soggiorniamo (mamma Isa, papà Jgor, la piccola Kloe di 7 anni) in Hotel, dal 2 al 15 luglio, in pensione completa. Dal primo ingresso, abbiamo avvertito un ambiente estremamente piacevole ed ospitale. RECEPTION/DIREZIONE: accoglienza delicata e premurosa. Esposizione chiara di tutti i servizi offerti. La Signora Alessandra, colei che ci ha assistito nella prenotazione online, anche in presenza, si è dimostrata gentile e attenta ad ogni nostro quesito. Il Signor James (della direzione) è costantemente presente nella struttura, donandoci un sentito saluto, ogni giorno. BAR. Si trova vicino alla terrazza panoramica ed offre un incantevole paesaggio: mare meraviglioso (a pochissimi passi), è straordinario! Una rinvigorente sosta da concedersi per una rilassante pausa pranzo, un fresco aperitivo, un buon caffè accompagnato da piacevoli dialoghi. IL RISTORANTE: ambiente moderno e accogliente. Camerieri e Maitre: veloci, sorridenti ed altamente professionali. Stiamo vivendo, a tavola, ogni giorno, esperienze di intenso piacere! La colazione è riccamente imbandita con un buffet. Tantissime proposte deliziose tra dolce e salato. Adoriamo i croissant di loro produzione, appena sfornati! PRANZO E CENA: squisiti piatti (tutti freschi e genuini) proposti in un ricco menu che cambia ogni giorno, fra cui scegliere (sul momento) fra almeno quattro diversi primi e secondi. Frutta e gelato (nei diversi gusti) in entrambi i pasti ed un irrinunciabile dolce proposto, ad ogni cena, dal pasticciere. Stiamo interagendo, in particolare, con alcuni Camerieri e Maitre: Martin: adoriamo la sua discrezione e la sua vera classe nel servirci ciascun piatto. Andrea e Francesco: simpaticissimi nelle loro esternazioni. Luigi e Franco: sorridenti e fulminei ad ogni nostra richiesta. RIASSETTO GIORNALIERO CAMERA: semplicemente ottima! ANIMAZIONE: Azienda Anno Zero Turismo, Alessio (Capo Animatore, a soli 18 anni!): organizza e gestisce con creatività e fantasia il nostro soggiorno, proponendo attività ricreative e sportive davvero coinvolgenti, ricche di sorrisi e spensieratezza! Il Dj Riccardo: non ama ballare ma ama far ballare! Chiara: sorridente e professionale. Beatrice: dolcezza infinita. Baby dance, balli di gruppo, attività ludiche, bagni in piscina ed al mare, rendono nostra figlia Kloe sempre raggiante e felice! La bella e discreta Grazia: papà Jgor, partecipa ad ogni sua lezione pomeridiana di Acquagym! Il bell’Andrea: l’animatore più educato e rispettoso, mai conosciuto prima! AREE VERDI HOTEL: un sentito e sincero GRAZIE al Signor Gian Franco: un artista nel suo genere! È piuttosto raro vedere, in un Hotel, le aree verdi così ben tenute: aiuole bellissime, pieni di fiori, con tanti colori che, accanto al mare, regalano ai nostri occhi una vista magica! PISCINA E SPIAGGIA (ultimi ma non meno importanti). Prenotare una vacanza all’Hotel Portoconte significa indossare

Stayed in this hotel in a group. It is superbly situated on a private beach with free sunbeds and umbrellas. It has few amenities within walking distance. The building inside has very attractive public rooms. The bedrooms with efficient A/C controlled by the hotel, TV and fridge. However they are colourless, no pictures, no rugs on the floor. Servicing the bedroom was haphazard sometimes in the morning, sometimes late afternoon. Although the towels were changed every day, unnecessary, my sheets were only changed after 6 days. Flimsy clear plastic glasses were expected to last all week. Hardly 4 star. The food menu was very varied but presentation sadly lacking, portions over large leading to a lot of waste and the quality of the frozen and tinned kind and usually lukewarm. A buffet lunch would have been preferable. The staff were lovely.

Hotel Porto Conte is a lovely beach hotel located on a fine sandy beach in the beautiful Porto Conte bay. The beach is reserved for hotel guests and there are enough umbrellas and beach chairs for everyone. It is quiet and peaceful here, and the place exudes a real beach hotel atmosphere. Our room was okay, had a nice sea view from the balcony - the bathroom was small but the shower worked well. Air conditioning is controlled by the hotel staff, it was annoying not being able to determine the temperature and strength yourself. Everywhere is clean and tidy, the common areas are inviting and in the hotel's small café you can get snacks, cold drinks and beer. You can choose quarter, half or full board, we had half board. It turned out to be a good idea, as the area around the hotel does not offer any other dining or shopping opportunities. The food is taken in the hotel's dining room in the fixed place and with normal procedures. The staff are really welcoming and helpful, although English is definitely not their best side. Pros: space on the beach, peace and quiet for relaxation, good atmosphere. Cons: slightly remote location, food not particularly refined, aircondition

I stayed here as part of a group of about 20 people. We were very well looked after and I recommend the hotel. The reception area and the public areas are spacious, clean and well appointed. Bedrooms are good with excellent linen and towels (complimentary toiletries are limited though - just shampoo). There is access to the beach with lots of sun loungers and the pool is excellent too. Both are kept very clean. We enjoyed the food, both choice and quality. The absolutely first class breakfast buffet is very commendable. All the staff members are nice, Luigi the restaurant manager is keen to please and very good. I am sorry I cannot remember the name of the funny barman but he was great.
