Caprici

I am at the Alegria Caprici Verd currently, arrived 20/9, leaving 26/9. My room was not ready when I arrived, so I had to wait around for 2 hours after a long journey, in my jeans until I could get to shower and change. It is a fairly large hotel with a large dated reception area. The staff are friendly. The 3 lifts take forever to go to floor 5 where my room is. They do not feel very well maintained. The rooms are clean, but small, basic and dated. There is air conditioning in your room and the free wi-fi works well with throughout the hotel. The room safe is at extra cost, which is disappointing for a 4 star hotel. I could not find any English programs on the TV. The food is probably average for this type of busy package deal type set up. Meal times are total chaos, it’s a free for all. Some polite people queue in turn. Food is not replenished before items run out, so you have to wait ages or keep going back, for example, there have been no fried eggs for ages at breakfast time, and no grilled meat or fish for ages at dinner time. The hotel attracts a mix of people, including young families. It’s really noisy with people. It can be difficult to sleep because of doors slamming in the early hours. There is nothing to do in the evening, as the hotel entertainment is virtually non existent, and when someone appears and says “it’s disco time”, it absolutely diabolical. The location of the hotel is good for the beach and the railway station, but there is virtually nothing else here apart from a few kiosks and shops selling absolute rubbish and very expensive bottles of drink, confectionary and crisps. I have not used the pool yet, it’s not the cleanest looking pool I’ve seen. I’m half board, which has worked out well, after breakfast I travel to other areas all day and then come back for dinner. I could not spend all day at this hotel, it would be incredibly boring. I would not book here again, there are many much nicer places for the same money

Good location, some staff were helpful...some lifts were out of action on most days. .staff training needed in some areas

What we enjoyed. We were quite skeptical when we read the reviews. But there is something everywhere. But everything I read, none of it is correct. Super nice staff, both at the reception, counter, or bar. The bathmaster himself is a top performer. Clean rooms, lovely spacious beds. Clean, and that's what we want, right. Food, enough variety for everyone's taste. I don't understand how people can fall for that, or are they used to nothing at home. The only downside we can find is the elevators, which is a disaster, often broken, and the repair takes a very long time. But we were on the 2nd floor so it was easy to walk. But understand that this causes problems for people with bad legs. Prime location, market at the door, station at the door. And a lovely boulevard with many shops. In short, we had a great vacation.
