Try with special blocks.

Eval:

    (setq org-latex-caption-above '(table special-block))

With this, the following,

    #+caption: cap
    #+begin_table
    #+Attr_latex: :float nil
    | a | b |
    Notes 
    #+end_table

would result in something like this,

    \begin{table}
    \caption{cap}
    \begin{center}
    \begin{tabular}{ll}
    \toprule
    a & b\\
    \bottomrule
    \end{tabular}
    \end{center}
    Notes
    \end{table}

You might have to tweak the centering to your liking (e.g. another center
special block and the attribute :center nil).

Hope it helps,
Rasmus
