Reviews
Reviews from Little Hotels Travellers:
| We very much enjoyed our stay at the Chamarel. Denia is a beautiful part of Spain, great beaches within a reasonable walking distance and lots to do either in Denia itself or in the surrounding area. From viewing their website we weren't quite sure how big Chamarel would be (some great camera angles in there) but it turned out to be the small hotel we were hoping for with a distinct personality. We arrived in 34 degree August heat and I admit I was slightly dismayed that the 2 bed apartment with bathroom at the top of the house was stinking hot with aircon only in the second (kids) room (and not switched on when we arrived. However, by dint of leaving the bedroom doors open (not ideal on the privacy front but acceptable), we all benefited from aircon which allowed us to get a good night's sleep and to cool down in the middle of the day. I should add that there is a bar/restaurant next door which the main bedroom and bathroom windows overlook; it was closed during our stay so didn't affect us at all but I did wonder (even though we wouldn?t have opened the window and had the added benefit of shutters to keep light and noise out) if it would have been a problem had it been open. But I really hate intrusive noise so it may well not be an issue for most other people. My only negative comment other than the lack of separate aircon in parents' bedroom was that we stayed during the Moors and Christians festival and, naively, couldn't get a table for dinner anywhere on the Saturday night. We had to travel into Ondara and pick up a pizza - not the way we wanted to celebrate the final night of our holiday and rather spoiled the enjoyment we'd had in watching the parade. A simple word of warning to guests in future that it would be a good idea to book when events are taking place would really help. Everything else was very positive. The hotel is lovely and the staff very friendly and helpful, especially Leire (pronounced Lady) who speaks very good English (much better than my Spanish.) She printed off directions for us when we wanted to visit friends staying locally, advised us on where to eat and provided us with knives and plates when we brought lunch in some days (the hotel only does B&B.) They were accommodating in every sense of the word and we would go back at the drop of a hat. We gathered that most guests stay for a couple of days and we were unusual in staying for 12 but it didn't faze them and we really felt like we were in a home from home. Just what we wanted from a little hotel! |
| The Hotel is excellent very welcoming and friendly. The decor is a mad mix of antique and modern (four poster bed, chandeliers and leopard skin print bedside lamps). I loved the bathroom, a good size, and great toiletries. The breakfast was really good, bread and croissants, fruit and cereal, yoghurts, tortilla, cheese and ham, jars of honey and pollen (very good for you we were told!) A short walk to the beach and restaurants and shops, spotlessly clean, and lovely staff, I would recommend this Hotel and will be returning. |
