    If staying there you need to hire a car to get about as location is very quite. Evening menu does not change .

    Amazing location, and stunning views of the bay from our room. The hotel is orientated that you get sea. views from the bar, restaurant and the pool and private sun bathing terraces. Staff very helpful and courteous. Breakfast good selection . Pool Bar good for lunch. Top class food in the evening. Decor in reception area restaurant creates nice ambience

    If you’re looking for a beautiful place not too far from the city then this hotel is in a great location. We had a room with sea view and couldn’t have asked for better. The staff (all of them) were very courteous and helpful. We would definitely stay there again.

    Lunch and dinner could be improved.

    The view is just breathtaking, beach beds are all very private and well located. Pool and pool bar are nice (food is okay, not excellent). The staff is very friendly and helpful. Rooms are new and tidy, breakfast is very large with healthy and well as less healthy options. We had asked to change rooms as my wife is pregnant and the shower, with a large step into the bath first, which was a bit uncomfortable. Staff was so helpful and worried about her safety, it felt very service minded. We changed to a lovely new room within no time. Also the lovely city of Alghero is very nearby, really one of the best cities on the island.

    Nothing !!! ALL PERFECT!

    The hotel exceeded our expectations, the location is beautiful and clean and the clear water is amazing! it is really worth renting the boat from the hotel. The food was delicious, plenty of space to sunbath and relax. The pool area is fantastic. All just perfect!!! The staff/reception was very polite !!! All in this hotel is at the highest standard, to make sure you have a great stay! They care about details! The restaurant and dinner at the terrace were fantastic the food was just great !! the manager gave us a free upgrade, as a welcome gift, the room with a view !!! We will come back next year !! This hotel is a perfect choice!

    Well, our daughter had a Superior Double Room and we enjoyed a Junior Suite. The price difference was not too much (ca 10%) and it was reflected by the size of the room (23 vs 30 m2). But we were unpleasantly surprised to learn that certain amenities, like a soap (!) or hair conditioner as well as a robe and slippers were not available for the Superior Room guests. That looks really "cheap" and does not support overall a good impression of this exclusive place. We suggest this policy to be re-considered. Another thing was the dinner in the hotel restaurant. In general the menu options were quite limited and not impressive. The dishes were not tasty assuming the price you pay. Also, some restaurant stuff need to be trained better to be more attentive to the guests and to avoid long waiting time to be served (or even noticed!)

    This hotel is designed in a way that you do not feel it is full of people, even if it was. The large rooms, efficient AC and comfy beds, a lot of places to enjoy sun, wide and soft sunbeds and a gorgeous swimming pool with sea water (plus another one with jacuzzi) - and all was almost for our exclusive use! You can also swim in the sea for some time, however water was unexpectedly fresh to my taste, due to the wind from the North. As a plus we should also mention a decent lunch offered in the cafe by the swimming pool and a free parking by the hotel, that was essential since you need a car to go around as the hotel is distant from any other places. And, of course, fantastic view from the rooms - you see just a natural beauty of the see and rocks - not much presence of human beings!

    Alghero centre is a good 20min away by car, so the quiet vibe comes at the cost of distance. The wifi signal in our room was poor. The hotel restaurant for dinner felt overpriced, we only did it once.

    The hotel is directly on the sea with direct access to a private area on the shore. The areas with long chairs are spaced so that it does not feel crowded at all. Most guests were couples who sought privacy. Overall atmosphere was quiet and relaxed. Staff was very friendly, excellent service. Breakfast is fresh and excellent with good choice. We had a room with a sea view that was lovely.

    The beds are quite hard which could be remedied easily with putting a latex topper on them. Also, some of the air dryer did not work to dry our hands in the communal areas. One of the sink in our room was partially blocked.

    The location is very good, and there are plenty of beds by the shore for all the guests. It feels like we are in a beach club without the loud music. We had very good lunches at the restaurants. The pools are great too, especially the pool at the bottom with bubbles.
