Spiaggia del Lido di Alghero impressed me with its location right next to the city and its long…read moreseaside promenade. The sand is pleasant, and the gradual entrance into the sea makes it ideal for swimming and relaxing. One of its biggest advantages is the proximity of restaurants, bars, and shops, so everything you need is within easy reach. In the evening, the promenade becomes a wonderful place for a walk while enjoying views of the sunset over the sea. It is an excellent urban beach that combines convenience, beautiful scenery, and a truly enjoyable holiday atmosphere.

We booked the tour online without doing too much research in advance. From the pictures the boat…read morelooked a bit small, but we decided to give it a try anyway. We chose the morning half day trip. First we got to see several sights, such as cliffs, caves, towers etc. Then we had a couple of swimming/snorkeling stops. At the second snorkeling location Giovanni took us into some really cool caves. Giulia took lots of good pictures of us during the whole trip. She also made a little film. Both film and pictures was included in the price and were emailed to us the next day. I would totally recommend this trip. The swimming and snorkeling is of course optional. Giovanni and Giulia is really sweet people and I'm very pleased we chose that particular trip instead of all the big boats.

There is plenty of greenery, shade, and benches for relaxing. The atmosphere was calm, and the park appeared clean and well maintained. I liked seeing both locals and tourists spending time here, which created a pleasant and authentic atmosphere. It is an ideal place for a short rest, watching city life, or escaping the sun for a while.

It's too bad, but Alghero has beaches but lacks parks and playgrounds for little children. This is…read moremore of a scenic garden than a playground with slides. It is pretty spacious and right across from the Port of Alghero walking towards the old city center. There is plenty of shade with all the pretty trees and benches to sit on to get a break from the summer heat. We've brough along our own toys and balls, this helps to pass some time on those not so nice days where you want to skip the beach, but you have little ones who don't want to be couped up inside.

Another great beach near alghero. A very looong sand beach with some surf & boat rental. A real…read moremotorboat without licence for 30 euros, 15 to surf.

There are a couple of bars/snack places to get food and a big carpark with an attendant. Both the beach bus and the local bus head out here. The local bus is cheaper and way faster, but they can fill up on busy days. To cycle out you follow the signs to Fertilia and then Maristella. It's about 10km out, mainly a flat route but there are a couple of hills at the end.

The long beach on the seafront closest to the port and city center of Alghero is declared off…read morelimits this summer. It is attributed to the sewage (origin of the ban on swimming). This beach has been declared unclean and unsafe for swimming. Many tourists find it conveniently located across from their hotels and you will still see people in the water, but please be warned! You can sunbathe, but the waters are being tested as people are getting sick with the rota virus. The stretch of beach is usually covered in algae that collects from the water (this is where Alghero got its name)! The sand is usually always wet. It's still nice to take a walk along the beach in the mornings or take a nice lunch and have a picnic. A great place to watch the sunsets in the summer months!

The hotel is right on Via Lido but behind another building. Look for the hotel's sign on Via Lido…read moreto turn into the small driveway to reach the hotel's free parking area and front entrance. The good things about this hotel - free parking, right on the beach, balcony facing the beach (my room was 302), walking distance to grocery, the pool area & good breakfast including eggs to order, fresh fruits & fresh juices. WiFi was just decent - enough to stream, browse & scan social media. Not strong enough for downloads/uploads. On the downside - it is a little further from the walled city (about 20 mins walk or rent a scooter/bike). The bathroom was shabby - water can seep through glass doors after shower. The service was hit or miss. There was a gentleman being trained at the front desk and he was a bit abrasive. His idea of being helpful was to hog the question away from his senior whom the question was addressed to & mansplaining to the woman who was clearly senior to him & more knowledgeable. Guess he needed to prove himself. He seemed tech averse on simple things like doing a Google search. Going to chalk it up to staff acquisition during the pandemic & hopefully things improve. All in all, an average three star hotel room experience where the amenities (balcony, pool, breakfast) & location made it extra.

We stayed at this large hotel just outside of the old city for 1 night in mid September while…read moretraveling around Sardinia in a room with a view to the sea up on the 5th floor. The lobby and hallways look recently updated with rich warm wood and a Spence of elegance and luxury. We saw one of the corner suites which had been updated that was super big and nice. Our room, 521, was large with a view of the large inviting pool and rocky coastline. The bathroom was large with a great rain shower, double sinks and plenty of room while the bedroom with king bed was spacious too. The furnishings seemed a bit drab given the look and feel of the lobby and halls. The low bed was quite firm as were the pillows but the quiet AC did a nice job of keeping things cool so I slept quite well. Parking for or car was free in a small lot next to the hotel. The price wasn't too bad and included breakfast although the sprawling buffet seemed more focused on quantities than quality to me. A pleasant one night stay.

Staff was superior. Pool was large and fun. On site restaurant and bar had amazing staff, food, and views. The breakfast bar is on point. Note: the omelet station gets started roughly 30 minutes after the breakfast area opens, so don't be too hurried and miss it. The target audience is French and German but I found they catered to us nicely and made us feel at home in their home. The spa is open until 10 pm. The massage was wonderful. It's an easy walk into town. I suggest it. Walk along the path by the water to the right. You will find hidden bars and cafes along the way, you don't want to miss. Wear you bathing suit as you walk because some of the cafes by the water are establishments providing lounge chairs and sunbathing while being served for a small fee.
