Ogliastra Beach Holidays

We stayed at Arbatax Hotel for four nights with my family and were given room 132 on the first floor. Unfortunately, I would definitely not recommend this particular room. Until around 11:30 pm, loud music from the restaurant downstairs could be clearly heard in the room. On two of the nights, we could also hear very loud music from what seemed to be a nightclub nearby, probably across the road, until around 3–4 am. This made it very difficult to sleep. The hotel has an old-fashioned style, and I appreciate that they have tried to preserve its original character. However, the bathroom was a major disappointment. The shower tray is only about 1 cm high, so when you take a shower, water flows out onto the bathroom floor and the entire toilet area becomes flooded. We reported this problem to reception on our first day. We explained that we could not properly use the bathroom when the whole floor was wet and asked either for the room to be changed or for the shower to be repaired. Unfortunately, neither request was accepted. Nobody came to inspect the problem. Instead, we were simply given some extra towels. This was particularly disappointing because we expected the hotel to take such a basic maintenance issue seriously. The safe in our room also did not work. Eventually, someone came to repair it and we were told that the battery was dead. When we asked why it had not been checked before our arrival, the response was that nobody had complained about it before, which I found

We stayed in a cottage, which was situated in a good location, close to tne beach. This resort is off a rugged but beautiful stretch of coast. The resort is beautiful, plenty of nature all around. It’s spread out over a hilly site, but has a free electric golf buggy service to get you about. There resort also offers a good mixture of swimming pools and cash bars. The entertainment on offer was good if you wanted it. We did an excellent excursion by boat along the coast as far a Cala Luna. Some of these beaches are stunning. We snorkelled every day and saw a good variety of fish. It’s a really nice resort and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

This was an utter disapointmemt. We thought we had booked a 4 start adults only hotel for a relaxing stay with great facilities. It was NOT!!! The pictures are a catfish of what you actually get when you are there. The hotel is in need of a serious upgrade, and it feels like you are paying the price for it. The rooms to start. The rooms are relatively as pictures, but they are very old and tired lacking some basic things. The air conditioning really doesn’t work and in 38 degree heat was not what was needed. The bathroom lacked basic amenities such as cotton buds that should be basic. The room itself was not cleaned properly, my partner and I both had to wipe off dirt from the floor before getting into bed. The biggest disappointment was the facilities on offer. The Monte Turri adults only pool is dirty and in need of a revamp. The shades above the pool area need replacing and there was stains all over the cushions. We were told the bottom pool on site was also adults only. There was of course children there when we went. The breakfast was very simple and was ok, definitely not befitting a special stay. The staff however were great on duty serving and doing their best. The only real thing that is good about this hotel is the view. It is such a shame that the hotel doesn't back that up. Honestly can say an utter waste of £250 a night and left disappointed. This hotel should be 2 to 3 star rated.

I had an amazing stay with them. I would recommend anybody to go there. I will definitely coming back.

Super friendly staff, great and very tasty italian breakfast, good base to nearest beautiful beaches and villages. Whole stay was great with no problems. Everything worked great. Only downside was lack of kettle in room
