“Nice Hotel, but the area and beaches aren't Costa Smeralda”

This is a nice hotel, with very friendly and helpful staff and a good breakfast buffet. We stayed in a junior suite which was nice and incredibly clean (the cleaning staff were the friendliest we'd ever met). We used the hotel's car park (charged at €12 a day) but there is no other real option to park, and the parking is underground and secure. The hotel misses a swimming pool, as we couldn't find the nearby beach (and most beaches within 10km of the resort are very stony rather than the golden sand of Costa Smeralda). The hotel staff spoken some English, but this wasn't reflected in the resort more generally and we struggled at times. Also beware of some of the nearby restaurants, particularly the pizzeria at the end of the row (Chez Nico or something similar). The service was the worst I've ever had, and have never been treated with such contempt by any other restaurateur! We weren’t alone in our experience and everyone seemed to be treated equally badly. Save your money and go to the restaurant a couple doors down, which has a lovely terrace and very friendly staff, who also speak English.

Area recommendations
A car is a must, and for the best beaches drive to Costa Smeralda (about 30/40 mins). We found two beautiful beaches in Baia Sardinia and near Cala di Volpe. They aren't huge, but the sand is golden and the water similar to what you'd expect in the Caribbean, the snorkeling was also great here. Beware eating in the area of Porto Cervo though. We stopped at a marina nearby and in a small self service snack bar were charged €6 for a can of coke! It’s also worth investing in a parasol as the sun was very strong until late afternoon and 2 sun beds and an umbrella are in the region of €45 a day.

“Molto confortevole e centrale”

In zona centrale, ma tranquillo e pulito con camere spaziose e confortevoli. L'unico inconveniente è che non è facile da trovare perchè ha un'insegna non ben visibile.

Area:

Costa Esmeralda, Italy: Playground for the rich, the waters of the Emerald Coast sparkle like the precious jewel, matched only by the diamonds of those who flock here. In the 1960s, the Aga Khan discovered this idyllic 35-mile coastal strip of sandy beaches, studded with 80 bays and idyllic coves, and made it an exclusive private resort. Low-rise buildings blending harmoniously with the landscape and beautiful (free) beaches ensure the coast’s enduring popularity.
