Reviews
The service is outstanding, and the staff speaks fluent English, which made communication easy and pleasant. A huge shout-out to the chef – the dinners were absolutely exceptional! It’s the first time in a long while that I’ve experienced such a high standard of dining included in a hotel stay. Each evening we were served a delicious multi-course meal: starter, two main dishes, and dessert – everything beautifully presented and full of flavor.
Rooms were cleaned daily, and the hotel offers direct access to a beach with sunbeds, a swimming pool, and a bar. There’s also a stunning turquoise beach about a 10-minute walk away, accessible via a rocky path – absolutely worth the walk!
The only surprise was the parking fee – €20 per day. However, parking options in the area are extremely limited, so it’s understandable. Perhaps this is standard for Sardinia (it was my first time here). Without a car, getting around would be difficult, although it’s possible to walk about 4 km to the nearest shops and restaurants in Porto Rotondo.
Another thing, the food at the hotel restaurant is very bad. For dinner, they served fish I got a piece of frozen fish with frozen spinach. The dish cost €28.
I paid a dinner bill of €62 for this dish and another one just spaghetti with tomato sauce, which was also bad.
They made us feel welcome and looked after us throughout our entire stay.
The reception team, the housekeepers and the restaurant and bar staff all made our experience exceptional.
I would stay here again purely based on them!
