    Finding the hotel was absolutely Mr. Toad's Wild Ride. It is not marked that well and we had to do several back-ups. It's very confusing to find. A friend and I booked what we thought was their top level suite with balcony and extra space for a sitting room/sleeping area. What we actually got was a window with a sea view, and a collapsible chair that turned into a tiny twin bed. Additionally, we are a couple of old gals and the walk to the room was up, up and up and up, with little or no handrails along the climb. That was a big challenge for us (though a staff member brought up the luggage), so make sure when you book if you have any mobility issues.

    This hotel had the best restaurant of any that we visited after two weeks eating in Italian hotel restaurants — so definitely do eat there. The day-time staff in the lunch/bar area were delightful, helpful and treated us very well. The pool is a saltwater pool, so that was a nice surprise and the lounge chairs, etc. were also nice. Overall, the hotel was good value for money. It is a family-oriented hotel, so if giggling (screaming) kids aren't your thing, perhaps chose somewhere with adults only. That said, I think Italian children are very well behaved.

    The food was good, but quite over priced compared to the rest of Sardinia/Italy. The wine was… terrible. For £10 per glass we expected much better. The wine was poor quality, and old, like it had been opened for more than a week. We tried 3 different glasses of wine and didn’t finish them.

    It’s a fantastic location, and beautiful rooms, right on the waterfront. the staff were friendly and helpful.

    Jacuzzi is not a jacuzzi : no bubbles and same temperature than the pool. One employee was definitely not friendly : check-out time, heavy rain, you ask for an umbrella and you get a poor answer "we are not a shop", ok, well... This is not online with a 4 stars hotel staff. Room was not smelling so good : feel musty.

    Hotel is looking like to a small and nice village : buildings, garden, port... Very nice breakfast, large choice... but a waiter will serve you. We got a better room than the booked one.

    The hotel is 2.5 miles outside Porto Rotondo, with no public transport infrastructure. The taxi journey costs €25 (for 2 miles!) or you can walk along a busy, road taking 45 minutes. There is nothing within walking distance - no bars, restaurants or shops. This means you are tied to eating the hotel's pretty ordinary menu costing €50 per person for evening meal. From October onwards everything in Porto Rotondo seems to close down for the winter, reducing amenities even further. The hotel is breathtakingly expensive - €10 for a beer, and €14 for a g&t, as well as €50 for dinner as mentioned. Although only about 15 km away, taxis to Olbia cost €55. The staff can be serious at best, verging on surly on occasion, especially the waiting staff in the bar and restaurant. If you want to experience the real (affordable) Sardinia, I suggest you stay in the south of the island. Costa Smeralda - whilst undoubtedly beautiful - is entirely geared towards a rich clientele with plenty of money to waste

    The location is beautiful, overlooking a quiet, scenic Bay. Very peaceful spot. The rooms were very clean, and towels changed daily. Breakfast is an extensive buffet with an excellent choice of food. The sea is easily accessible and wonderful to swim in.

    100% recommended - delicious food everyday!

    Just one detail : the rooms have very thin walls - we could hear our neighbors speaking loudly on their phones late at night (no soundproofed rooms) + dragging of chairs, etc and it's a bit difficult to find the place on arrival the first time since there's not a lot of signaling outside. Be sure you have a car and GPS to get here!

    The food here is AMAZING, delicious and very well presented. We were delighted with their food service in general, both breakfast and dinner. Also the views from the hotel and our room were great, the gardens perfectly well maintained, plenty of sun loungers everywhere and great attention from all the staff, everyone was very professional, friendly and discreet. The salt-water swimming pool is FANTASTIC! We thoroughly enjoyed it! We'll be back for sure!

    The staff cleaned our room twice even though we left the sign not to disturb us, and the last morning a cleaning lady wanted to start cleaning our room 8 AM, when we were still in bed sleeping with our terrace opened.

    Nice views, quiet & chill, not too busy so it was just alright for us to relax

    It was expensive for what it was, and the restaurant was extremely overpriced. For example, tomato soup was €25, omelette with blue cheese was €25... You need a car as it is far from anywhere.

    Comfortable but small room with a lovely view of the bay and a nice patio area to sit on and relax and watch the view. Friendly staff and a nice big pool with lots of sun lounges, beautiful gardens and easy access to the beach where there are more sun loungers.

    Accomodion and food is overpriced. You are on Costa Smeralda so you pay for location. Bar staff sometimes forget your order but they are all nice and friendly 🙂.

    Nice location, private beach, enough sunbeds for all guests around the pool and also on the besch. Mels were good but not extraordinary. You cannot walk to the nearby villages as this is isolated area.

    overpriced especially the dinner and the gelato; extortionate pricing is to be expected given the remote location, but even this felt a bit much

    great view and relaxing - buildings maintained as good standard ( bedrooms refreshed and AC working well) patchy internet

    but the rstaurant staff, style and quality was rather poor. much less than during our previous stays in that hotel Lining up at the buffet and having to order to a waiter may have been OK in COVID times but now is akward; Cithcen closes at 14h00 and then tehre is NO food available except old salad bowls or potato chips.

    Room is OK, view great,
