I will keep this review brief and will try to avoid rambling on for pages as you’re unlikely to read all of it anyway.

In summary we will not be rushing back to Sardinia for a while. It was an expensive hotel for little return. We could’ve spent the same going to Sorrento and got a far better experience. Here are my thoughts:

Positives:
* Great location
* Excellent views of the sea the dramatic the coastline
* Beaches are good and close by
* Weather was fantastic
* Hotel was clean and the room was very spacious
* Maid service was efficient and quick
* Plenty of hot water and the shower was brill
* In general in the food was pretty good
You must do a one day trip to Corsica – it’s a great place to visit and beats the hell out of Sardinia.

Negatives
* Transfer time is nearer 2 hours from Olbia airport
* The hotel staff were surly and unhelpful
* English were made to feel like third class citizens after Italian and French
* Hotel bar is very expensive with zero atmosphere
* The restaurant also lacks atmosphere and a decent manager
* The ‘courtesy’ bus is not free - it’s 8 Euros for a return ticket. And you can not buy a single trip!
* Hired car was very expensive: 75 Euros a day!
* The white wine was just about drinkable – don’t try the red.
* The Animation team will drive you insane with daily shouts of “Bon appetite! Bon appetite!” just as you’re about to tuck into your lunch/dinner. Very Butlins like and very annoying. The French love it…apparently.
