The hotel offers a lot options and services is located not far away from the beach but just enough to make it more calm. Free parking (enough space), enjoyable entrance, great pool and inside wellness, great restaurants. We stayed 4 nights and the reception desk workers impressed us the most. Always open for a chat, advice, help etc. We really loved that (thanks so much again)!!

nothing on the hotel, but walking from and to the hotel at night can give you an uncomfortable feeling as some streets are not lighted at all.

low rise

tired-needs refreshing

A 10min walk from the beach with a Lidl supermarket enroute. A lovely pool area with comfy sunbeds. The staff were really friendly and helpful. Food in the restaurant was great as was breakfast

Some areas were looking a little worn/tired. Our patio area, although large, had very dried up plants. Some of the sunbeds had worn cushions and paintwork in some areas was peeling. Just needs a little tlc. Also the tables outside weren't cleared very quickly and so wasps were appearing.

Location,garden

Very poor not enough choice and no English breakfast no cereals not enough drinks (1x glass) had to go to McDonald’s to get proper service everything was very POOR

Everything was very POOR IN PARTICULARLY THE BREAKFAST

FANTASTIC, good location, quiet. Clean, modern, single room large with private terrace had 2 x sunbeds, table and chairs, excellent. Only stayed for 1 night so did not eat at hotel, however I have heard that the food is excellent and both restaurants were full in the evening with people from the surrounding area so goes to show must be popular. Breakfast was lovely but the best part of the stay was the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff 10 out of 10. I would definitely stay at this hotel again and recommend it to others. A big Thank You 👍👍👍

Pillows 😅😅😅

tranquilo y bonito.

Amazing terrace and super friendly staff and the cocktails

Old TV in the rooms

I’m very sorry that I need to write this…but food was the most the weakest part of the stay at this hotel. It is a pitty because after opóźniona I expected better food. All the rest was nice especially the crew.

We enjoy the quiet atmosphere of the hotel. The staff are helpful and friendly.

The air-conditioning could have been a little better. I think the filter needs to be changed in such a hot country.

Good balcony with room else room would have been small. Staff very good.

Not informed in advance that restaurants in property would be closed for the first two nights of our three night stay due to staff holidays. Not notified in advance of pricey pet charge pet night. Charged for two pets although they are only 2.5 and 5 kilograms in weight. Three star hotel masquerading as four star and charging four star prices!

Location, pool were good

Appeared to be a lack of serving staff. Breakfast menus submitted prior evening were lost. Not all components of breakfast were served. Delivery of meals were slow .

Very good range of choices. Well prepared and presented.

comfortable room and bed

Reception staff in your face on check in Do this Sign that Book diner Then tried to charge me double for my dog as he was too big I refused No breakdown of evening meal on the bill Breakfast small and unexiting Reception hours too short and late morning opening. Not Michelin quality

Charming hotel a short walk into town.

Breakfast was very small and rushed.

Restaurant

Wifi

Lovely atmosphere

Nothing

Location was good for me, very efficient staff.

The bedrooms and bathrooms require re-decoration. These are looking shabby.

The staff was super friendly an gave excellent service. The restaurants are great. Definitely book a meal lunch or dinner in one (or both) of them. Very quit area but close (15 minute walk) to the beach. Parking space (lots of it) in private area. Bulgaria shower stuff.

Rooms could be decorated a bit more modern.

Clean, tidy nice looking hotel

I would have used the spa facilities but the writing on brochure was much to small to read. Should have been pre warned about restaurant and booking, as fully booked for meal after me got there and closed completely next day.

The breakfast was always very good, and the chica working breakfasts at 10-10.30am was always smiley and helpful. I didn't try the restaurant nor the gym.

The towel bar in front of the sink holding the two small towels was broken. I would pick up a towel and the bar would come away from the sink. The very amiable limpiadora organised for the bar to be fixed after a couple of days. The shower nozzle looked and felt like it was purchased in a chino shop - it was not reflective of the fittings normally found in a 4-star hotel. The headboard at the top of the bed was not fixed either to the wall or the bed. So when sleeping every time you moved the pillow the headboard would bang noisily against the wall. Not that I was in Calpe to watch tv, but it was curious to note that almost all the English-speaking channels (BBC) received no signal. Also, once switched off at night my tv would switch itself back on within a half-hour or so!? Downstairs by the pool, too many of the sunbeds had a broken mechanism to raise and lower the back surface. And my goodness, you could not shower before entering the water because the water coming out of the showers was scolding hot!

Very friendly staff Lovely breakfast Nice view

Set up of furniture in my room I kept hitting myself. I have moved the furniture around

Location is perfect and quiet. Good value for money. Amazing tasty food in the restaurant made my night

My duvet smelled like it hadn’t been washed after months of use

This is a small quiet hotel, the staff are kind and helpful and there is an excellent restaurant. Breakfast was also very good, it must be ordered the previous night.

We had to book two rooms for a family of four.

Really great service from arrival until departure. The reception staff spoke English, which we were very grateful for (stupid Brits) and looked after us. The room was spacious, clean, comfortable and quiet. We stayed during the Covid-19 pandemic and the hotel were very conscientious about following local guidelines. Breakfast was nice, but a little limited due to a buffet not being available (COVID-19). We've stayed at The Cookbook a few times now and have always enjoyed our time there.

We had a minor issue with the shower head not being present on arrival, which was a little frustrating as we wanted to get washed after a long journey and out of the door ASAP to meet friends. This was fixed very quickly though, so no real problems at all. Breakfast was a little limited due to the pandemic, but that's not the hotel's fault.
