I stayed here for 7 nights in July 2011 with my wife and two very young children (2 and 3). Even during peak season the hotel was calm and tranquil. The staff are helpful and attentive and also excellent around kids. We had no issues during our stay. The hotel is very clean and safe for young children. Overall a well-run operation.

The hotel is situated on a beautiful marina with some amazing views and a parade of shops, expensive restaurants and a cheap supermarket.

As other reviewers have stated the food in the restaurants is expensive; much cheaper eating out in Bai Sardinia (5-10 minute drive) however you definitely need to hire a car during your stay. Although you can drive to the best beaches and Porto Cervo within ten minutes the roads are non-pedestrianised and the public transport is non-existent. Taxis are very expensive during peak season. 30 Euros each way for a ten minute journey to Porto Cervo or the beaches at Liscia Ruja and Spiaggia del Principe. The hotel has a free shuttle bus service to its own beach (Liscia di Vacca) which is about a five minute drive. We found this beach to be a little bit rocky so opted for the sandier beaches in close vicinity. The hotel staff can advise you which beaches to visit and are also willing to book day trips for you at the same price if you had booked directly. The highlight of our trip was a cruise on the Velieri Valentina which includes a visit to the La Maddelena islands. This was recommended and booked via the hotel.

I spend a night in october with my family at the 5 star Poltu Quatu / Jaspe Grand Hotel, because they had an affordable low season offer; 162€ for a double, including HB for two persons, (which is like the price of a three star or even an expensive agriturismo). We didn´t expect much, but it was all great, very nice and helpful people, a free upgrade to a superior room, beatiful place, good food, all in all a fantastic buy!
The surrounding area isn´t really that interesting, you need a car (or yacht...) to get around, or just stay in the hotel area, swimming in the pool, playing tennis, etc. Or just use the hotel - as we did - for a stopover on the way up north to sleep and eat in luxury!

I went there we friends and secured over 5 rooms for multiple nights. The hotel was less than 25% full when we were there. They screwed up some of the reservations and then the manager Giovana would not try and accommodate us but yet tried to nickle and dime us on everything. The rooms were fine and a bit dated but the walls were so thin that I could hear people in the bathroom in the next room over and every conversation. When they put a family of 4 in the next room at 7.30am one more morning I was shocked at how loud it was. With the hotel empty, why would they put everyone right next to each other? The cleaning service never did our dishes in the room which was a surprise since it was an apartment. Check out had 3 extra charges on it that were not mine. Experience was not a 5 star experience. On a positive note, the pool was pretty, the breakfast was nice and Simone and all the other waiters in the dining area was so extremely friendly and very helpful to us.

My husband and I stayed at the Melia Hotel in August 2008 and we had a lovely stay. The hotel is beautiful and the location is so perfect, right on a very classy port about 10 minutes drive from Porto Cervo. The staff was always so friendly and eager to assist us with our questions or our requests. The pool staff consisted of such hard workers. The rooms and bathrooms are very clean and simple but big - which we always appreciate. My husband is Italian and I am American and I had no problem communicating with the staff when he was not with me (which is sometimes a problem in Italy!). Overall, I highly recommend this hotel for anyone.
