Reviews
I highly recommend to rent a car because there's is almost nothing near by like a boulevard with restaurants or shops, there is no nightlife, but a little beach club which is doing some party music until midnight. A single supermarket is about 10 minutes away from hotel. ATM in Marinella wasn't working, therefore I had to go to Olbia to have some cash. To have dinner in the evening or go for a stroll, you need to go by bus to Porto Rondo or take a train to Olbia, which is a bit inconvenient.
Big shout out to Ricardo head of food and bar and Greta and also Maria at reception big smile.
Breakfast is good value and the pool is great. The grounds are well groomed and only 200m from main beach - perfect for hiring paddle boards windsurf etc etc
Also a really charming railway station across the road which we used for a day trip . Cost €2.60 for 2 people awesome
10 min walk to super market some restaurants and lush ice cream shop.
Really enjoyed our stay in early Sept.
During our stay a lady was robbed in the room.
lousy hotel
Mirror. You had to choose your food for your meals from a listing of 4 choices. The bathtub had no water stopper to take a bath,you could only shower. You have to pay 3 euros for your towel,every time you changed them. Maybe once it was a 4 star,but know it's maybe a 3 or 3 half star.
The food was good, but with a limited selection. The TV goes in and out,except for the Italian channels. The staff was friendly
and helpful. They charge 25 euros for two chairs and a umbrella at their beachfront.
They gave you 1 euro off at the beach.
No entertainment or water aerobic provided.
No drink specials at the bar. No afternoon or evening events at all.
These are just a few things that I normally would get in a 4 star hotel that I stayed at before with my family.
I'm sure covid had something to due with the limited entertainment and the water aerobic,
but don't post it as a 4 star hotel when you can't provide a 4 star experience.
Also the beach was nice,but not deep enough to swim in, unless you're a child ,
then it's perfect. The areas around there are
nice,but not much to do.
Some bar's on the beach were expensive. 14 euros for a 750 mm. Bottle of water. Some were a little less expensive. You have to look around.
You're stuck there unless you have a car.
The hotel will say its my opinion,and there
right,but there not going to say if anything that I wrote was wrong. Maybe they might
say how they might change things in the future,but I don't think they will.
Good for a family with small children,not a party place or site seeing place.
Sincerely a Vacationer
The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Most of them spoke enough English that we could communicate, which was very helpful. The breakfast every morning has a lot of options and kept us full for hours.
There were not many younger couples, which is not something we cared about, but if it is something that you want keep it in mind. The restaurant is a little overpriced for what you get, but we had planned on going out to restaurants every night anyways so it wasn't really an issue for us.
Overall, my husband would recommend the hotel and plan to return for a future anniversary!
The Hotel has seen better times, should be urgently renovated.
Our impression: it is to be desired only Italian guests and preferred.
Knowledge of the language except Italian.
Food always cold, almost every day the same choice, carelessly done, except for a dessert buffet/ tables are rarely cleared, what attracted the wasps/ the "fancy-dressed" staff at the entrance to the Restaurant, which were the only guests in the way, and their function was questionable .
Reception staff were generally not competent (often repellent).
