    Perfect weekend break...amazing good!

    rating18 Oct 2025

    Amazing weekend. From when we arrived everything was perfect. Some really nice touches were offered such as a welcome drink and Pink cava with dinner. The room had a huge terrace with loungers, table and chairs. We had dinner included and the options offered were amazing..delicious. Breakfast was varied and one recommendation would be to offer more hot options as at times It was quite limited. The staff were a credit to the hotel.. everyone was amazing. Special thanks to Sofía who was always smiley and looked after us seamlessly. I cant remember the other waiters name but he was very profesional too. We cant wait to have the opportunity to visit again soon!!!

    Such a quiet relaxing space an oasis of calm

    rating27 Sept 2025

    A quiet calming hotel which gave us a base from which to explore Calpe. We found the hotel staff amazingly attentive and nothing was too much trouble. We left totally refreshed from our stay.Breakfast was good but we would have liked a little more variety. Looking forward to returning to stay once the refurb is complete COOKBOOK HOTEL, Other at The Cookbook Gastro Boutique Hotel & Spa, responded to this review Dear Guest, We are delighted for your nice comments, we do appreciate you have enjoyed a gastronomic experience with us at The Cookbook Gastro Boutique Hotel&Spa.

    Worst hotel room

    rating12 Sept 2025

    Unbelievably, it’s probably the worst hotel room we have stayed in. The rooms allocated to us were barely a 3*. So many faults with the rooms. We managed to get 1 room reallocated as we requested or could have moved to one of their sister hotels but 3rd day in to a 5 night sat didn’t bother. Breakfast is a bit of a farce. Minimal like warm cooked food ie eggs and sausage. No cereals at all?? Ok if you like pastries n continental breakfast. Not worth the price we paid. Pool area nice but no bar open- very quiet n never fathomed out how to get a drink. Nice Nespresso coffee machine in room but only ever had the 3 capsules allocated in it on arrival - never replenished. Rooms were shabby with skirtings boards damaged, bathroom door tatty as looked as if had water damage and never repaired. Blackout curtains hanging off. I could go on but far too many points. Staff were lovely and helpful and I guess they are working their best in the circumstances. Nice reception and restaurant appearance’s but never eat in the restaurants at night as breakfast put us off. Major building works all in Calpe and had a wonderful view of about 6 tower cranes from our balcony on the front of the hotel, balcony was tatty and needed refreshing. Staff were understanding of our complaint and we got an hour in the Spa complementary which was nice. We are quite flexible when travelling but unfortunately thus hotel was not for us and certainly not worth what we paid for it COOKBOOK HOTEL, Other at The Cookbook Gastro Boutique Hotel & Spa, responded to this review Dear guest, We feel sad about your comments. Sorry for any inconvenience, we will work hard on that. Hope you give us another chance during your next holidays to change your opinion about us. Best regards.

    Never again

    rating12 Sept 2025

    First and last time staying here. Will start with the positives: a few of the members of staff went above and beyond, were compassionate and did their best to sort queries, and the pool area was pleasant (ignoring the hair around the broken parasol and the leaves in the pool that weren’t cleaned out). Other than that, nothing. Nowhere near a 4 star hotel, they are dreaming.Starting with the room. I first got a room with stairs, you walk into the room and immediately there’re stairs, we were not made aware of this and you would be stuffed if you had accessibility problems. The doors to the rooms do not close properly on their own. All of the furniture and skirting boards are chewed up, chipped or blown due to damp. No table to store the suitcase on, and the chair was filthy, covered with marks and bits. Then the ‘balcony’ was some steps going down to a small patio surrounded by a high wall, with air conditioning units and the back of the restaurant as a view.So I asked to move rooms and was able to. The next room was no better. Again, the door wouldn’t shut, furniture chewed, etc. No hairdryer in the bathroom, just the holes where there was one originally, black mould around the bath and green looking marks on the ceiling. Thought oh this is nice there is a window in the bathroom, opened it and found it opened out onto the neighbouring rooms balcony! Two of the lamps weren’t working in the room, socket on only one side of bed. Orange ceiling light that wouldn’t switch off and was really bright so didn’t get any sleep. The fridge was full of marks, as was all of the paintwork on the balcony. Wiped the table on the balcony after having some food and it was filthy, as was were the chairs. Hairs stuck under the door frames as if they’re just pushed around. I could go on.Next: breakfast. The first day there was a jar of corn flakes as a cereal, then no cereal for the rest of the holiday, yet 4 jars of nuts. Sometimes eggs and bacon, sometimes not, all kept under a warm light that did little to keep it warm. Artfully arranged shop bought croissants to make something out of nothing. Had to ask for black tea bags everyday, the hot water machine was also for coffee so everything tasted of coffee, wasn’t working on one day either. Ended up bringing my own breakfast from a shop.Overall, the worst hotel I have stayed in. You get to a point where you can’t ask for anything else to be rectified and give up. Never in a million years a 4 ⭐️, 2 or 3 at a push. COOKBOOK HOTEL, Other at The Cookbook Gastro Boutique Hotel & Spa, responded to this review Dear guest, We feel sad about your comments.
