We stayed here two nights after arriving in Sardinia. This hotel is more like 3.5 stars for me. Better than average but not great enough that i would stay again in the future. It was a good point for visiting Neptunes Grotto and the beaches and not far from the airport. The pool is salt water but still nice with plenty of loungers. There is a beach area too with somewhat rocky sand. Drinks were good and could be acquired from the bar near the pool. Breakfast was nice also with adequate gluten-free choices. The room was pretty average but comfortable enough. AC that worked tolerable well and a small shower. Our room was a water view that we paid extra for, but it was far from the water and blocked by the garden, I would only pay for a basic room if doing this stay over again. The room wasn't nice enough to splurge on anything extra. read more
We got a very good deal for a week in October and the hotel really wasnt worth more than what we paid. On check-in, there was only 1 staff member who left us waiting for 20mins while she tried to log on to some website for another guest. The first room we were shown had 1 completely mouldy wall so we took all our luggage back to the main reception area to ask for a new room. She first said she didn't have another room available but this wasn't main season, hardly anyone stayed there that week. Taking again all our luggage to the second room, it turned out this room wasn't made. Again, down the steps with all our suitcases, hungry and tired and very annoyed at that stage, we were given another room and did the same spiel yet again. Besides from the very drainy smell in the bathroom, the room was okay so we decided to settle in. For a 4 star hotel, the rooms are very very basic, the bathroom wasnt even stocked with soap or showel gel and the cobwebs hadnt been removed in quite some time. An overall very disappointing start to our holidays. The onsite restaurant didnt help matters either, with staff who are so set in their old ways that they couldnt cope with us not having made a reservation for the restaurant albeit only 10 out of 150 tables were taken as not very many guests stayed in the hotel. I felt propelled back to the 80s but not in a good way. The menu didnt have any prices displayed, we asked twice for the wine list, our waiter was condescending and the whole thing as just soulless. We quickly decided to not eat there again. If you decided to do just that you definitely need a car. The hotel is located so remotely, there is only 1 other restaurant within 15minute walking distance but that is 15mins on a dark country road by foot. Totally worth the effort by the way. The facilities on the premises are very good though. There are two tennis courts and they rent out decent rackets and balls. You can also rent a canoe or cayak for free for 30mins (10Euro after that) and mountain bikes for 10Euro per day. Other than that there's the pool (freezing cold water) and the sea (warmer than the pool). There is a bar that closes at midnight which sells coffee, wine, cocktails (Irish prices) and the leftover cake and croissants from the breakfast buffet. They also do sandwiches but we didnt try them. The breakfast buffet was very good. Fresh fruit, yogurts, cereal, juices, eggs, cold meats and cheese, breadrolls and cakes...there was something for everyone. The bar staff would make cappuccinos and espressos on order but often it was impossible to get the staff's attention to actually order something. I wonder how they cope during high season. What really quickly got the staff's attention, was people trying to sit where ever they wanted. That they really didnt like. The first day I asked whether I can sit anywhere but after I chose my table, I was asked to move somewhere else. This I witnessed happening every morning with several families to the extent that it almost amused me and I toyed with idea to sit on the 'forbidden table' on purpose. Overall, if you only want to hang out at the beach and not move about much and you don't mind the small and somewhat crappy rooms and spending a ridiculous amount of money on mediocre food and drinks then this place is for you. If you like variety, comfort and like to be independent, then you either need a car or stay somewhere that's closer to at least one shop that sells water and local wine. read more
