Easter Tourist Figures good for Alghero
All the signs are good for the tourism business - with this first taste of summer. Restaurants, hotels, car rentals, shopping, all starting to smile again at least for a few days - while awaiting the warmer months. The only negative note was the protracted closure of the Caves of Neptune, because of restoration work not completed despite ads reopening for Easter.
Hotel Soleado Alghero
We stayed at the Soleado - just across the road from the beach about 1km from the Old town.
The Soleado is a fine 3 start hotel - nothing grand - but clean rooms and friendly staff. The swimming pool is great to cool off in the 34 degree heat - and a shallow pool for smaller children is handy.
There is a bar which we never used. We stayed Bed and Breakfast - the breakfast is fine but don’t expect a “full English”. No toast and just one cereal with UHT milk - as well as cold hard boiled eggs, ham , cheese, fruit ,yoghurt, croissants, cakes,bread rolls. We bought our own cereal down each day (all bran).
Air conditioning in all rooms (you will need it) - no extra charge.
There are small fridges in the rooms too - handy for the odd drink. If you drink the bottled water in the fridge you will be charged 1.50 euro each - so buy your own in the supermarket for about 30c.
Overall - a good hotel though and we would stay here again.
