Cala Monte Turno Beach

Lovely room with mini fridge, great shower and balcony and really comfortable beds. Brilliant free activities for kids and teens morning 10am, afternoon 3pm and night 9pm. Watch out for the special kids activities like art classes that come with an extra charge as these at €25 are quite pricey. Activities for adults and kids are shared across three hotels in Chia Laguna so padel and table tennis were across the road but only a couple of minutes walk. There was no yoga on when we stayed which was disappointing. Food at Domus restaurant was plentiful and varied, no junk food which was great but no pizza or gelati (if you want pizza or ice cream you need to buy it from the piazza bar). Restaurant servers were not very friendly, except for the guys bringing out the food who were excellent and very helpful. There is an optional surcharge added to your bill on check out for tips for waiting staff. There is handy free road train that goes to the beautiful sandy beach nearby every 15 minutes which is brilliant. The water is clear and safe for swimming. There is a beach bar for drinks snd ice cream and an excellent water sports centre. We went horse riding near the hotel: 1hr beginners ride €45pp. We only spent a little time by the hotel pool which has a snack bar because the sun beds were so hard and uncomfortable. The beach sun loungers are divided up by hotel so the Village section has hard sun loungers. Conrad guests get lovely padded loungers so we used them in the back row.

We have just had the most amazing 2 week holiday. Staff are super friendly and helpful, property is amazing and well maintained and the main pool is great. Food is excellent - we did not have a meal we did not enjoy, plus the staff were thoughtful enough to prepare an evening emergency meal for us as we arrived late at night from our flight. Lovely little touches make you feel most welcome. Truly appreciated. We took the shuttle many times to the centre and enjoyed the local market as well. We did not have a car and the hotel is a bit remote. We also found that it cost more than 100 Euros to go to the beach club - and we thought that was a bit expensive - especially as we did not want to sunbathe. Suggest anyone going checks their booking to see if the Beach Club is included in the price. If you want to relax in a calm atmosphere - this is the place to be! We had a wonderful time.

Beautiful property and unbelievable hospitality
