Sanalvo Holidays from £468

Nice hotel, good sized rooms. Unfortunately some of its facilities were not operational such as the beach club, second (beachfront) restaurant). Air conditioning in the room did not work. Staff seemed functional but not particularly welcoming. Perhaps they felt it was the end of the season. Maybe they should fully function and then close rather than stay half open.

This was one of the best vacations we have ever had in this resort. The beach was one of the best I’ve spent 14 days at, the pool was nice too. The amenities they provided like shower gel, shampoo, conditioner and body lotion all acqua Parma high end products. I had a spacious room and housekeeping came twice a day and did a great job. I attended a start of summer party which they did very well with everything included, live music, drinks and gourmet food from their restaurant Gusto, it was a great night. Tuesday is pizza night where they have a pizza truck on the premises for 30 euros per individual pizza, fun night. On Wednesday they had Sardo night with traditional local entertainment and typical Sardinian food also a fun evening. The maître d'hôtel would come around in their restaurant and explain the fresh fish available and how it is prepared, one night they prepared for me half lobster with pasta and red sauce for 118 euros. Local Sardinian wines were available and delicious, I pretty much ordered the same one daily for 60 euros. Breakfast was either buffet or order from a menu with eggs made to order or a buffet with everything you can imagine all included with your room. I didn’t have a rental car but if you wanted to experience another restaurant in neighboring towns it was 10 euros per head each way on their shuttle. They have a wonderful bar area with live music daily, I had a grey goose 18 euros with club soda 10 euros extra, my wife had an aperol spritz 23 euro

The serving staff, in particular, a gentleman by the name of Enrico gave my wife and i a level of service that was outrageously good.

Ours was a one night stay during a driving tour of Sardinia. La Baja is somewhat off the beaten track but a decent location for an intended visit to Tharros - though not executed by us because of poor weather (mid April 12). However, we were well met by friendly and helpful staff and made to feel welcome. It was clearly low season and our half board dinner was poor. Breakfast standard fare and OK. Location and our room balcony provided great panorama of a fairly ordinary bay (as later contrasted with what can be seen from other locations on the east coast...) but as also later discovered East Coast prices are higher. Overall, a decent stopover but unless you are seeking high Summer sun at a lower price than elsewhere on this lovely island do not book a week.
