We will come back, the standard of the hotel and the staff made our trip to a paradise.
We live in Norway, we can now take a flight directely fra Oslo to Obelia.
The sea was fresh in this time of the year, but we take a swim and the water was clean and nice.
Every day we eat breakfast and dinner at the hotel, very good and we love the staff.

Everything ... from our first to our last day ... could not be bettered:

the concierge service was first class, the Maitre d' was a star and the chef should be knighted.

Having four stars (interestingly, which body awarded those stars?) does not mean having a licence to print money. We all agree that an hotel in a very nice resort must charge more than a modest hotel in a non-descript place but here prices are just a joke. To have the cheek to say "yes, your beer costs XXX because you are sipping it within marvellous surroundings" is phoney. This hotel claims to be in Costa Smeralda: not so, the true Costa Smeralda is many miles away. A quick self-assessment, less self-importance and more attention to the needs and wishes of customers may bring much needed, urgent improvements.

We paid for a sea view room and were not disappointed as the Club Hotel occupies a lovely position overlooking the bay. For a four star rated hotel though we were disappointed. The room was small and basic but what it lacked in luxury was compensated by cleanliness. We had fresh bath towels and beach towels and bed linen every day and there was lots of hot water for showers and baths.

The staff were friendly and we were well looked after especially our little boy at meal times.

The private beach was disappointing. It is a short walk around the bay with hardly any beach area with the sun beds arranged on the slopes above it. Not great when you have a young child. We tended to use the public beach instead. However, this comes at a cost of 18 euros for two sun beds per day. There are signs saying you cannot put towels on the beach however we and many others did at no cost. Not sure whether this would be the case in peak season.

The food was good and plentiful but on the same theme everyday so may get boring if you are there for two weeks. Typical menu consisted of salad buffet followed by a choice of two salads/soup followed by a choice of risotto, pasta, soup, fish dish followed by a choice of four main courses usually fish, meat dish or omelette followed by deserts and cheese. Don't expect any kids menu luckily our little boy will eat almost anything.

Walking out of the hotel is a large pedestrain area which is overlooked by cafes and restuarants. This was great as we could have a drink while our little boy played safely and in sight. Beware if going mid september as we did as not everything is open. Our brochure made Baia Sardinia sound much larger than it is so although a great relaxing holiday there is not much to see and do if wet.
