Hotel Cap Sa Sal, Begur, Catalonia, Spain - Explore & Book

"Sustainable design meets barefoot luxury at this adults-only boutique hideaway in the Costa Brava. Once the humble servants' quarter for the glamorous resort next door, this stone-walled bolthole has been stylishly renovated to house 10 romantic rooms that overlook the shimmering Mediterranean Sea. In each room, refurbished furniture and recycled bathroom doors earn the hotel some green points; while clever use of space maximises those stunning sea views (even the open-plan sinks face the sea). Most rooms (8 out of 10) have ocean-facing terraces, perfect for evening aperitifs before heading to the hotel’s glass-walled restaurant.Tucked away on a cliff-side and hidden behind a forest of pines, Cap Sa Sal feels alluringly secluded. Adding to its enigmatic appeal, a secret tunnel (accessed from the next door resort) leads to a swimming pool set into the rocks. There’s a smaller outdoor Jacuzzi pool too, as well as private beach access and pretty little inlets dotted nearby. The beautiful hilltop town of Begur, with its medieval castle and charming restaurants, is just a 5-minute drive. Perfect for a romantic escape by the sea, or a tranquil break from the kids. Highs Unbeatable sea views from every room, plus 8 out of 10 rooms have ocean-facing terracesAn excellent on-site restaurant serving fresh locally-sourced fish - be sure to book ahead as it's very popular Beautiful beaches (some of them rocky) are dotted around the region, plus guests have private beach accessAccess to next door’s pool set into the rocks, as well as an open-air Jacuzzi pool, though there's no bar thereThe charming hilltop town of Begur is a 5-minute drive away Lows We suggest you avoid July-August: prices soar (you're paying a premium for this unique location) - and in addition...In summer, the restaurant gets booked up weeks ahead (and there are no alternatives nearby), so reserve your table when bookingIn summer, service can be slow, but recent reports are much betterIn summer, expect some sounds from the pool bar, and from neighbouring terraces (thin bamboo partitions only)The entry level rooms are on the small side (bathrooms too), so book one with a terrace - or splash out on the suite" - Clemmy Manzo

Restaurant (have not stayed at the hotel) + Location of the restaurant is ideal, atmosphere is nice, food is OK. - Given the standing of the place, service was disappointing. Tables were sticky (had 2 different tables consequently, both were sticky); service was transactional, both at the bar and at the table, not a word exchanged (and we speak Spanish), waited 40 minutes for a 3pm booking we placed 3 weeks prior, without any notice.

Underwhelming. Great location, and nicely done out, very photogenic and probably an ok place for a drink and some insta pics if that is your thing but a really disappointing meal overall. Average food (probably below average if you factor in the prices), service was disinterested at best, not even efficient. The restaurant lacks the presence and leadership of a good GM and it is instantly apparent. We would probably have spent 2 or 3 times as much had there been any kind of welcome or positivity but after eventually being seated and waiting 10 minutes to be offered a drink we all just decided to cut our losses, have a main and get out of there. It felt like the parents had gone away and the moody teens weren’t that bothered about whether the guests enjoyed it or not. A real shame as it is a great location and it wouldn’t take much effort to make the guest experience so much better, and then you’d forgive the bog standard food and concentrate on the dramatic views. However, no one there (except for the young lad who cleared our plates away) seemed like they wanted to be there. For a much better experience go down the steps to Sa Rascassa - great food, great service, and the feeling that your custom is valued. The restaurant is trading on its location and it just feels complacent. I can’t imagine many people would go there twice. What a pity.

We have been to Cap Sa Sal restaurant several times. Every time we enjoyed excellent food and great service. This time, our waiter Carlos went over and beyond to serve us and makes us feel good. We were sitting on the terrace, in the open section without canopy, enjoying the spectacular view. Sometime during the lunch, anticipating the rain, Carlos prepared the table for us on the part of the terrace that has a canopy - so once it started to rain, we just seamlessly changed the place and continued our lunch… Small thing, but it meant a lot. We love going there!

A place with this level of food and scenery cannot have waiters act like the man who attended us right before we left. This man with black curly hair, blue eyes and an earring was extremely rude and unprofessional when we asked to split the bill. He immediately rolled his eyes at us and complained at how slow the process would be regardless of our apologies, and then said “joder tío, es que esto es un puto palo”. No matter how stressed he may have been, this attitude is unacceptable and made us leave the restaurant with a much worse feeling.

Spectacular location, food is good. Service is atrocious: Waiters are super grumpy, curt, and inflexible. Want to order some food and add more to your order later? Not possible. I asked for a lobster sheller with my lobster course and got scoffed at! We were asked to move to a different table for the dessert, and then the invoice arrived before our dessert. I think the service is completely unacceptable. IMHO the reason for this is that they are trying to do 2 seatings for lunch at 1 and 3 pm, so they try to rush the folks in the 1 pm seating. If they just moved the 1 pm seating up by an hour for the international guests, a lot of the stress would go away.

We had high expectations for Cap Sa Sal, especially given its stunning location, but our experience was unfortunately one of the worst we’ve had while dining out—and it completely ruined our final evening in the area. I made a reservation by phone last Thursday for 20:00 on Monday (yesterday evening). The call ended with a clear confirmation and a thank you—everything seemed in order. After a 35- to 40-minute drive (which cost us around €85 in total), we arrived only to be told there was no reservation. When checking the system, the reservation under my name appeared greyed out. The manager claimed I was sent an email to validate it—impossible, since I never provided an email address during the call. He then shifted the story, saying I must have received a call or a text, which I double-checked—nothing. As a result, no terrace tables were available (the main reason we chose this restaurant), and we were stuck at a corner table next to the entrance, with a poor view through a dirty window. The manager was dismissive and made no effort to compensate for the mistake or inconvenience. Trying not to let this ruin our evening, we stayed—but things only got worse. When we attempted to start with oysters while reviewing the rest of the menu, the waiter rudely told us we had to order everything at once. When we said we didn’t want to rush, he simply walked away mid-conversation. We even tried to turn things around, speaking with another waiter and saying we hoped to restart and salvage the evening. His response? “F’ing Dutch people” in Spanish, followed by a rude gesture—as if we wouldn’t understand. We reported the incident to the manager, but again, no accountability. He confronted the waiter, who of course denied it, and the manager sided with him. No apology. No care. This place might have the view, but it certainly doesn’t have the staff or service to deserve such a setting. The manager was as unprofessional as the waiters—rude, unhelpful, and dishonest. Do yourself a favor: skip the overpriced view and go to any of the amazing local restaurants in Begur, where people actually care about the food, the service, and the experience.

Dines at the restaurant, no idea about the hotel. Stunning location overlooking the sea, decent service and while pricier than other places, the location is worth it. Food is probably equal to other restaurants rather than outstanding, again the view and location compensates. Will definitely come again, but for the whole experience rather than for outstanding cooking.

DO NOT SPEND YOUR TIME AND MONEY HERE This was THE WORST experience I have ever had in Costa brava after coming for years here. The location is beautiful and the food is nice but the service is absolutely out of line. RUDE, INCOMPETENT and LYING to clients. A shame really, we asked if we could get help for a taxi to come back to the next village and they kept telling us to wait for 1:40h. When confronted with this they said they we were the ones needed to calm down, we waited almost two hours with the staff telling us in 5 minutes the taxi would arrive over over. HORRIBLE TO HAVE A NO STAR STAFF MANAGING A PLACE PRICED AT 4 STARS.
