“never again”

I've never thought I would ever writ such a review for a hotel in Sardinia, my favorite place in Europe. I booked this hotel because we decided that we would make a tour around Sardinia to see other places than usually. We choose 3 hotels and Arbatax was one of them. Fortunately for only 3 nights. I couldn't find any review about this hotel because we stayed at I Villini and all reviews are written for other parts of the resort which I didn't know is the same. It looks nice on their website.

The resort itself is set in nice environment but it's very big and without any organisation. there are 5 "villages" which means a lot of people. The servis is not good, everything takes a lot of time and usually without effect. There is a bus going around the resort but the bus is modern orange doubledecker which looks terrible in such nature and in those narrow roads. You can't walk when the bus passes you as there is not enough space. There are two lines but now one knows which goes where so people usually don't know where to get off and sometimes have to go all around the resort. a "train" would be more suitable.

The room: we stayed in I Villini which means small cottages. Even though we stayed just above the beach we didn't see anything as there were many big plants in front of the window.It was also difficult to get to the room struggling through the plants. the room was dark, no balkony, nowhere to sit outside. Damp smell around. Quality is maximum 3 stars.

Beach: there are only small beaches in the resort. However, there are many beautiful beaches all around / if you have a car/

Departure: we and other people with us had to wait for one hour for the help with our l luggage.

Summary: we travel a lot and are not picky as we always take into account the locality where we go, the culture, architecture.. But we know Sardinia very well and this is not typical sardinian style at all. we were very disappointed.
i can't say exactly what was the main problem but i think it was everything together. Perhaps with better organisation and better maintaining it could be better but still not enough I would return. At least not in Sardinia where there are many other Sardinian hotels there.

Room Tip: there is no nice room

“Arbatax oposite Tunisia, Turkey, Egypt”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 September 2011

I spent 10 days in Arbatax Park Resort, Villagio, room 196, from 6-16th, September 2011. Beautiful surroundings and nice weather are „ the gift of God“ and I send my compliments for cleanleness, regular room service and kindness of the staff. But I also have some complaints:
- the deck-chairs on the beach have no mattresses which proves to be very uncomfortable after a few minutes of lying on them. It is unthinkable that an Italian 4-star resort cannot provide them, although in countries like Tunisia, Turkey or Egypt , deck-chairs always go with ones.
- the choice of cakes is catastrophic! Cream with few drops of colour or some flavour (frozen or not), puddings... Intolerable!
- apart from all available facilities, the resort could offer at least one area for naturists. My suggestion is the small beach at the south of the penninsula ( I think it is called Baia de Cottage). It is isolated quite enough so that it would be satisfactory for both the nudists and those who don`t approve of it.
Generally speaking, this holiday was nice because the conditions were entirely different from what I got used to. Frankly, I don’t think I would come again. But, if I give it a second thought and when my impressions settle down, I might change my mind.
Give my best regards to Achile, the animator. He deserves to become „ the registered mark“ of the resort, needless to say the Arbatax Park maskote!
Best wishes from Belgrade, Serbia

“uncomfortable”

I was there for 2 whole weeks with my boyfriend.
The personel is not at all trainned for the job i think that there are ypung people who are just looking for a job during the summer.
Not at all suitable place for families.
Its a huge village and the personel cannot handle all the visitors. I need to call the reception they answered 27 minutes later and they told me that they are very busy to answer earlier. So is there is an emergency......FORGET IT U ARE ALONE WITH NO HELP.
Its is very tiring to walk it through and u always have to wait for a bus that comes every 20 minutes BUT you will loose it at least once since its always full. Moreoverit was very unfair that i was waiting in the line first and i could not enter the bus since there is a fight everytime who will go in, and NO PERSONEL THERE TO CONTROL THE TRAFFIC!
The biggest disadvantage was the transfers, VERY TIRING!
another is that a lot people of the personel DONT talk English and VERY POOR ITALIAN ! amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!
However the village is beautiful its is a very nice setting indeed!
and the food was very good.
Generally, if you have a family dont even think to go there and speaking for myself no way to go back.
Last point the price is super expensive for what they offer!!!
I oersonally felt like staying in a golden prison. More

Room Tip: villini is teh best village because its close to the only sand beach and close to the restaurant

We had found the Arbatax Park Resort online and booked a week at the resort. After that we read review of the place here at the trip advisor and we became a bit reluctant about the place. Today we return from the most wonderfull week in a little piece of paradise. The place is just wonderful. Beautiful scenery, Lots and lots of flowers. Very friendly staff who was very aware of our children. Funny shows at night which worked for every age and nationality. We can only recommend the place!
