Disappointing Stay – Poor Layout, Closed Pools, and No Space for 3 Adults
We recently stayed at Boutique Capo Blu, and while the staff were lovely, the overall setup and lack of transparency made for a frustrating experience.
Pool Closures & Strange Layout
The biggest disappointment was arriving to find the main pool closed on September 20th—something we were never informed about when booking. To make matters worse, the small pool was also completely out of order.
The hotel’s configuration is very odd. The central area is an open, four-walled courtyard containing the bar and the non-functional small pool, surrounded by bedroom patio doors. Because of the surrounding walls, there are zero views. Breakfast was served in this courtyard, but the food layout made no sense: pastries were kept on the bar counter outside, while inside by reception, one area held cereals and cold meats, and another held hot food and toast. Constantly walking between three separate areas just to get breakfast was unnecessarily awkward.
Inconvenient Access & Lack of Privacy
Reaching our room required walking back out of the main entrance, up a flight of steps, through a gate, and in through a sliding patio door. This patio door served as both our only entrance and our only window.
Outdoors, our personal space was practically non-existent (barely a foot square) with nowhere to hang wet beach towels or swimwear. Right next to us, three other rooms shared an open outdoor area, offering no privacy
