Villaggio Mandorli Holidays from £436

The best part of this property was the location. However, because there's no reception everything has to be done "virtually" so to speak - you have to text Roberta and hope for a reply. Personally when I go on holiday I like the fact that you get served & have a receptionist at hand for any information, directions, glass of water, sun bed & having someone clean and make your bed daily. Well this does NOT happen if you stay in Villamare Due - I had to sweep my room daily which would get sandy after days on the beach and make my bed as there would be no one coming to do so during my stay!! If you want WI-FI you only get it in the front part of the hotel !? so if you want to talk to family and friends from your room late at night you have to leave your room and go to the front area which is the only are where you get WIFI - I had to buy a Data Booster from my UK Mobile provider as I run out of my Data. The information about this "Hotel" is that you can use the pool of the Verdamare Uno if you are a resident at Verdemare Due, which is only 10 mins walk. But what you are not told is that once you are at the Verdemare Uno they have opening hours for the pool - so if you are used to staying by the pool all day, should you wish to, you will be kicked out at 12.30 for some strange reason like "the water gets too hot & needs to settle"??? I don't know about you but when I'm on holiday it's nice that people will serve you and that you can relax or else you might as well stay at home!

Beautiful property and unbelievable hospitality

Wonderful place. Recommended!

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.

Staff was very helpful and attentive. Cristan always made sure the breakfast buffet was well kept and organized. Francesca was very helpful getting us settled in. Dinner was really good
