Terrible beach
We chose this hotel because of its location overlooking a beach as we wouldn’t have any transport. However, the beach did not look like the beautiful white sandy pictures portrayed when booking. We found a horrible stinking mess which rendered the beach unusable. Although we were told it was seaweed washed up over winter, it should have been removed prior to the arrival of paying guests rather than half hearted attempts of removal during the week we stayed. We were unable to have breakfast on the terrace due to the sewage smell from the beach. Our beach holiday was non existent. Nearby beaches required a car to reach as they were beyond a short walk away. We found the hotel lovely, staff friendly and food was excellent as would be expected at a 4star hotel but felt badly let down by the state of the beach, which left us feeling we had paid a lot of money for a beach which didn’t exist.

Very relaxing family stay
Great, relaxing stay. Hotel located at the coast with private beach within walking distance of Fertilia and with great footpaths to explore other beaches. Restaurant, bar, pool and room all had great views over the bay. Staff were extremely pleasant and helpful. Only negative is that the hotel is under the flight path for Alghero hotel. When we stayed there were hardly any flights and we rarely noticed them, but could be a problem post-Covid.

I stayed at the Punta Negra with my wife and three kids, and we had a wonderful time. The front-desk staff were very friendly and made us feel welcomed for all questions and requests. The rooms were clean, and the waterfront view like a postcard. The beachfront and pools provided plenty of entertainment for the kids, and the short proximity to the public beaches allowed for a nice change of setting. A very nice hotel for families, which I happily recommend.

Don't stay here. Worst smell I can imagine.
We were very much looking forward to our stay at hotel punta negra, with the good reviews and beautiful photos of white sand they falsly advertise. Upon our arrival the beach was 3meters high of rotten seaweed. We paid for a seaview room but couldn't sit outside as the smell was the worst sewage smell I could ever imagine, it was a worse sewage smell than the depths of Shanghai, it made us both vomit. The restaurant is very bad and the most expensive in all of alghero. The taxis are very expensive from this hotel, every taxi we tried all start at €26, a 3 mile taxi will be €30. if you want to have good food you need to go into alghero, you can't walk as its not safe and a taxi will be over €60 everyday as the hotel restaurant is no good. The pool and rooms were very clean. If you stay here you need a car if you want to go anywhere. Better to just stay in alghero. There is nothing in fertillia.

A very nice hotel, stunning pools
Rooms are ok, not amazing but the hotels outside space makes up for it. The pools are just beautiful, and very well maintained. Good breakfast and very good food and service in the restaurant. The beach was awful after a storm, and we weren’t advised of this prior to arrival. This had been the main appeal for us. Didn’t spoil our stay.

Great hotel; stayed 6 nights (June) & we would definitely stay here again. Pros: friendly staff, very clean and bright hotel, amazing infinity pool, well-kept grounds. Great breakfast spread & gorgeous terrace views. The restaurant was delicious (a little pricey for the area, but worth it). Two min drive to beautiful beaches, quick ten minute drive to downtown Alghero & the quaint 'centro storico' (historic center) by the harbor (amazing restaurants here as well). Cons: The beach is not as pictured (apparently due to a storm that washed away the beautiful white sand in May. It would have been nice to be notified of this as we booked primarily for the private white sandy beach (which is not white sand or private). The water was still clear and they were making daily efforts to clean up seaweed and algae. Initially we were put in a very tiny room on the ground floor looking at the parking lot and couldn't use the terrace (or open the doors) since people in the parking lot could see in despite having paid quite a lot for our room ($350/night). We ended up speaking to reception that night and were upgraded to a sea view room for an additional $50 per night which we felt should have been complimentary based on the price we paid (friends of ours joined us there and booked last minute - they got a sea view room for $130 per night LESS than what we paid. NOTE: The sea view is worth it! Overall had a great stay.

Pleasant & Relaxing Stay!
This hotel is in a great location! I really enjoyed being just outside the downtown of Alghero, while still being close enough to access the city or explore other little towns. The entire staff at this hotel, from the front desk to the dining room, to the bar manager/bartenders and cleaning staff - they are all incredibly accommodating and nice! The rooms were super clean and spaciousness, however the beds were pretty firm and the pillows were very flat so sleeping was not as comfortable as I would have liked. The Sea View rooms are definitely worth it - especially the ones on the 3rd floor which have their own patio overlooking the water. Access to the beach was quick & easy, however the beach doesn't quite look the same as what the pictures show. It is more of a rocky sand beach, a bit smaller than advertised, and there weren't any chairs or lounges out the entire week we were there to use on the beach. It is possible that the time of year plays into this piece, however I didn't see it advertised anywhere so not sure. June is a slower tourist month in Sardinia so our timing for the trip was great! We did a breakfast/dinner inclusive stay and the food offerings were tasty & even being allergic to most seafood, I had a lot of options for this being a coastal city. There is no elevator access here, so if it is difficult for someone to get around up and down the stairs all day, this could be a challenge here. All around, this was a great hotel and beautiful location!

Lovely pool and views. Close to Alghero & airport - would recommend hiring a car as a lot of places to see you have to drive to. There is a bus service, and because I went late May it was not as regular as it would be between mid-June and mid-Sept so made it a bit tricky to get around. Staff are very nice and helpful, good with children. Because we were off season hotel was a bit quiet and not many other kids, which was a bit disappointing, but I am sure if you went later in the summer it would have a different feel. Only major disappointment was the beach - it was unusable (due to lots of algae which I understand is out of their control!), but that was a bit selling point for us so it was a shame not to be able to use it.

Great place to relax 10/10
The Hotel Punta Negra is a wonderful place to choose if you want a quiet, relaxing time. I couldn't fault it in any way. All the staff are friendly and very helpful, the hotel is spotlessly clean with immaculate gardens. Breakfast was varied and plentiful (we didn't dine in the restaurant in the evenings). The pool area is also very clean with plenty of sunbeds and large umbrellas. Excellent value for money....would definitely recommend staying here.

Exceptional hotel & staff
Absolutely superb - cannot rate this hotel highly enough. The staff were beyond helpful & friendly and did all they could to make our week's holiday enjoyable. The hotel is extremely well furnished and so clean and tidy. Fantastic pool area & such easy access to the beautiful beach. We stayed for a week as the last week in August and nowhere was too busy or overcrowded. The pool area was so relaxing and comfortable. Overall I can honestly say this hotel is exceptional & I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone. The airport is just a 6 minute drive and there is a regular daily bus that can take you to Alghero for a change of scenery. The only very , very small negative would be that the pillows were not very comfortable & the beds a little hard but otherwise outstanding

This hotel is good as fellow travellers state but what let's it down is the beach It shows white Sands but it's not and so small you fight for space for your sunbed The sea is full of gravel and pebbles when you first go in and so not quite as it appears in the brochure The steps down to the beach are not good if you have any mobility issues but their is a pool and a fab infinity pool Staff are great and hotel clean Reception staff very helpful Over all a great place to stay

Ideal spot for a quiet week by the sea.
Enjoyed a lovely relaxing week here, and would return. The staff were helpful and charming, and the hotel was kept spotlessly clean. The views out to see and across the bay to Alghero were amazing, and we liked the coastal walks too. The situation (and guests!)was quiet, and the private beach area was respected. Intermittent plane noise was not an issue, and a car was helpful, though not essential. Food was plentiful and typical of the area. Could have done without the 'musak' in the lounge.

Very friendly, nice hotel!
The staff are super friendly and helpful and the views at this hotel are simply jaw-dropping. Having breakfast (which was delicious) with this view or swimming in the stunning infinity pool looking out over that view was incredible. The room was nice and had everything you needed in it. The only issue I had was the flat pancake pillows which were uncomfortable and the half eaten and rotten plate of cherries that had been in the fridge since time immemorial. Otherwise it was a perfect place to stay at and I loved every minute of it!
