Tavolara Island Holidays from £564

Lovely helpful staff, clean and tidy throughout, a good selection at the buffet breakfast and a nice pool area with fab views. We were 4 adults sharing 1 room and it was plenty big enough, including the bathroom. We had a sea view from our balcony which was great for sunrises and sunsets. It was particularly hot for time of year so aircon struggled a bit with the 4 of us in one room, but it was still bearable and the shutters on the balcony door really helped to keep the heat out during the day. The rest of the hotel was lovely and cool though, with spacious communal areas. The only negatives were the bed was not the most comfy, but this is a niggle as it was still possible to sleep ok, and the pool bar doesn't do proper snacks, just drinks, ice creams and crisps. But we did get some free crisps with our reasonably priced drinks and there's a lovely little supermarket with really helpful owners less than 10 minutes walk away. Access to the little beach directly across the road is closed for safety reasons but there is access to the sea a few tens of metres further down the road and also on the way into town. All in all, we had a fantastic stay and would hesitate to stay again!

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

Just before checking in, I happened to see some not so good reviews on Google Maps. At the time, I thought, "Huh?", but it was a complete misgiving. The facility was clean, the rooms were spacious, and the food and service were all satisfactory. They also found a taxi for me to the airport right away. It does feel a little old, but that's part of the charm. I would like to stay here again when I come to Olbia✌️
