The beach club is under algae invasion. You literally can’t go into the water past the algae. So I would appreciate if they let me know in advance. Or at least they could do a discount which they didn't. Eventually I didn't care much and I went to the other beaches. But if you have to have your cocktail, sunbed and umbrella, the algae one will be your only choice. The other ones are just wild beaches with no showers, toilets etc. Wi-Fi is quite problematic. Unfortunately even switching to your personal hotspot doesn't change much because in general the coverage is not brilliant in the area. Water policy was also disappointing for me because I don't like tap water. The only option they sell in the hotel is 0.5 L bottles for €3 each, which is quite unfair. In a hotel like this at least you expect them to sell 1.5 L bottles for a reasonable price but they don't. You need to walk to the supermarket and carry your water back to your room. It takes about 10-15 minutes. I was there in May so the weather was very pleasant but honestly I can't imagine carrying liters of water back to my room in July and August. It seems many families with young kids prefer the hotel so I assume that the facilities must be convenient and appealing for them. But honestly all three meals, everyday, felt like trying to grab a bite in a nursery school with lots of kids screaming around. If you want to enjoy your dinner and wine peacefully, definitely pack a pair of noise cancellation headphones. As well the sound insulation is not very good in the rooms either. The bungalows are adjacent and you keep hearing your neighbours, especially if they're on the patio. Like if they're having a call on their patio you wouldn't hear them better if they were sitting on your bed.

Staff is amazing. They do their best to make you feel welcome and comfortable. Special thanks to Barbara and Gabriele from the restaurant. Food was restaurant quality Italian food with great variety. Vast selection of wines as well. Two beaches nearby. 5-10 minutes walk. Very pleasant walk if you enjoy wild little paths in the nature, smelling the earth and flora. Some say the hotel needs re-decoration a bit but personally I liked the slightly nostalgic vibe. After all both my room and all areas were spotlessly clean and functional. There was something naive and unpretentious about the hotel that reminded me of the past in a pleasant way.

Do NOT accept a room that has the adjoining room option (i.e. an internal door to the next room). These doors are EXTREMELY thin and you can hear your neighbor's TV, their fights with their spouses, yawning, coughing, etc. While the bed was comfortable enough, I found sleeping pretty miserable and it detracted from my overall trip/stay. Even a neighbor that sleeps with the TV on low can be problematic.

The food, especially dinner, was excellent. A variety of main course options - to include 3 different pasta options per evening - and plenty of healthy options. (Meat, fish, some veggies are prepared on an outside grill.) They provide a great variety of dessert options, too. There was also plenty of staff to serve, etc. I thought it was very professional and apart from the beach, the best thing. Per the beach: there is a private corner, with its own bar. The beach is really incredible and there is a lifeguard present. Some staff come out to teach a half-hour of water aerobics and will motivate you to play Bocce ball with other guests (really fun.) Pro-tip to save money: There are busses from the port-side Cagliari bus station (near Via Roma) that go directly to Sant'Elmo for 4.90 Euros. So you don't need a car.

Some of the staff members were sleeping in the rooms below us and they were partying until late at night making a lot of noise and disrupting our sleep.

Excellent location and infrastructure

The family room was very small for 4 people by comparison to a double room and very basic. Shower broke twice. Paying for drinking water every day was costly, is only free at breakfast.

Amazing buffet-style food 3 times a day and beautiful swimming pool. Very close to a beautiful private beach.

Beds were uncomfortable, daily cleaning but floors weren't too clean after.

Good location, Good beach

The property itself feels a bit dated, and the furniture in the rooms certainly should be updated even though I have seen the management write that it is "Sardinian cottage style" it really just looks like it hasn't been updated since the 90s. That being said, the cottages are adorable with little porches and chairs to relax. Overall, the resort tends to cater to families or retirees based on the entertainment provided. You are required to pay €7 per day for the "club card" which includes the entertainment staff trying to convince you to play darts or do "beach yoga." All things we didn't utilize nor have interest in. So unfortunately there wasn't really much entertainment-wise for 20-somethings. The other major pain point is the cafeteria. You are automatically assigned a table for the entirety of your stay, which means while some people get to enjoy tables out on the terrace others are forced to eat inside for their entire vacation which didn't seem like a fair system to me. The food is average for a cafeteria/buffet style, but I find it a bit ridiculous that not even water is included with dinner.

The star of the accommodation is the beach. The beach is absolutely gorgeous with pristine white sand and crystal clear blue water. The stay includes an umbrella and two beach chairs which is very nice and convenient. There is even another bar on the beach where you can get food and drinks, as well as a shop, to rent beach equipment such as SUP or pedal boats. The grounds of the property are beautiful and the pool is great.

The room was pretty dark and needs to be updated.

Beautiful location, wonderful experience all the way around awesome location to beaches and facilities. With a lack of restaurants available in the area of the breakfast lunch and dinner was truly wonderful and helped us kick off our day and maximize our beach time.

We liked everything about it!

We loved staying here! The staff were always friendly, helpful and courteous. The grounds with its beautiful native flowering bushes and green lawns and charming cottages were peaceful and relaxing. The nearby long white sand beach in a sheltered cove could not have been nicer. The water is crystal clear and great for swimming and playing. The quality, taste and variety of foods prepared for meals was like eating at a 5-star Italian restaurant.

The facilities are a little outdated. But they clean it every day and the bed is comfortable, so I'm satisfied.

I visited for summer vacation with my child. There is a clean swimming pool in the resort, and a private sea is just a few minutes walk away. Our family was able to play comfortably thanks to it. And the food provided by the hotel is delicious. I went on a diet to go to the sea, but I ate delicious food and came back with increased weight.

drinks are not included which is okay. But could be at least water included or some soft drink however for breakfast you have water and juice for free and coffee as well. Animators don’t really speak English and try to avoid foreign tourists which was not an issue just felt a bit left out. To be honest not many people speak English but some of them go out of their way to help you and understand you plus my partner speaks a bit Italian and I Understand a little as well so it was easier for us but it helped us to enjoy proper Italian holiday which was exciting thing. Restaurant staff tried their best to keep tables clear seemed a bit too busy for them or they been understaffed and service from young gentlemen was a bit cold or its just because he was always busy but anayway thank you for doing your best. absolutely amazing service from bar guys thank you. Room cleaning some days was good some days they didn’t bother to check outside (private pathio) but all in general was good.

nice hotel with everything you need for a relaxed holiday perfect location delicious food and big choice buffet style full board included. Lovely swimming pool and nice private beach only 5-10min away with located sun bed for guests perfect location for visiting some of the other beautiful places like around villasimius and Cagliari they even pack lunch for you if you going out Lovely live music and activities with animators Very helpful reception and great service from them.
