Property was well positioned next to the sea but difficult to find as it is on a fenced estate area. Property was old, concrete cast and showed it. Rooms had had the bathrooms refurbed but bed and wardrobe were old and battered. Stairs were worn edged and had lines in the marble making evening descent hazardous. Lift battered and noisy. Staff on reception sullen and bored. Swimming pool was unsafe for families. Very deep throughout the whole pool even for me (i am 6ft). small pool at the side but the whole pool had broken edge tiles and chipped or missing repairs. Access ladders too short and broken. Menu for evening looked dire and we notice no one eating, choosing instead to eat in town. Breakfast very average and coffee stale and bitter. Amazed that this could even begin to be considered as a four-star hotel. A TWO star on a good day at best. Better still, avoid.

The reception staff were helpful. The room clean but bare, no pictures, functional, the bed was comfortable and bathroom good. Communal areas downstairs ok. Swimming pool was dirty, full of tree and plant debris and sand from peoples feet on the bottom, skimming the surface with a net made jo difference. Swimming pool not open all day, did not open till 9.00 then shut gor several hours at 13:00. We were charged extra for swimming towels and the hotels private beach you had to pay to use the parasols and sunbeds. On our last night we could jot eat in the restaurant because there were people on half board, when we saw the restaurant it was empty.

Worst hotel I've ever stayed at!
This hotel is terrible! We booked 2 nights but left after 1, and wish we'd left sooner, it's that bad. Don't be fooled by the nice photos of this hotel, they do a great job of covering its flaws, but from the first time you lay your eyes on this place you will regret booking to stay. It is a 1960's or 70's era hotel which really needs upgrading. The internal communal areas reminded me of student accomodation built in the same era, really unpleasant. The rooms are bear and even though recently refurbished, still poor with old furniture. The walls are thin so you will be disturbed by the noise around your room. However, the biggest disturbance during our stay was an intermittent mechanical sound coming through the ceiling, something resembling a water tank filling, pausing for 5-10 minutes, then refilling. It kept us awake all night. The constant buzz of mosquitoes was also very problematic and worrying for a 4th floor room. I'm sure they were coming through the ventilation and I was bitten to pieces. The food during dinner and breakfast is awful, like canteen food, and any reviewers saying the food was fine should just go to any other restaurant in Sardinia to see the difference. The beach is ok but we found it better to get off the private section so it really isn't a worthy selling point. This is the worst hotel I've ever been to and i definitely don't recommend it to anyone.

Good rooms, great beach, not so good breakfast
Hotel rooms were in very good condition, a few steps were all that were needed to get to a nice beach. Other beaches ( involving a drive) were better but this beach was more than adequate and safe ( with lifeguard). Beach sun bed hire was 5 euro which we found to be a bargain compared to established beaches ( charging 25 - 40 euro for 2 !!!). Major issue with hotel was the restaurant/ breakfast area. You sat and the food was brought out to you due to covid which is good, however breakfast order ( filled out by form the night before) was never correct...... running out of eggs/bacon.... wrong yogurts /juice etc etc. But major gripe was the 3 servers for breakfast, each had a different idea for wearing a mask..... one guy ( the shorter one) always wore the mask properly and was always polite. The other 2 guys were not as polite ( One moaned that he had to get us butter because we didn’t tick that option on the form yet wore his mask under his chin often) and the other guy wore his under his nose so ... 3 people with 3 different ideas as to how to wear a mask when serving. For this reason we skipped having dinner here. Summary is easy for this review..... Very good rooms ( we had 5th floor sea view) , restaurant staff need to take COVID seriously.

The hotel was close to a beach. Swimming pool was very good size and garden area very nice.Bedrooms basic, but plenty of storage space and clean. Nice bathroom, plenty of clean towels. Did not like where hotel was situated, terrible bumpy road to get to hotel. Evening meal food poor, and not warm. No restaurants near by within walking distance.Hotel needs updating to bring it up to 4 star standard.

The hotel is situated directly in front of the beach. Our room was spacious with beautiful views of the ocean. The restaurant had fantastic meals we ate there 3 nights and were not disappointed with any of our meals. Breakfast was also included and very nice too. The salted large 25 metre long pool was superb. We hired motorbikes and explored other beaches close by. I can highly recommend this hotel with Very friendly staff.

Very good hotel, close to beach
The Abamar gets mixed reviews, but our experience was very positive. We stayed in a junior suite which was spacious, comfortable, clean and modern. It had 2 balconies, one overlooking the beach and sea, jacuzzi, very comfortable sitting area and great king sized bed. The hotel has a large pool, which we didn't use because the beach is 2 minutes away down a flight of steps leading directly from the hotel patio. We had reserved sun beds as part of the room rate which were ours for our entire stay; the beach is clean, not too crowded, and very family friendly. The inevitable beach traders are polite and easily discouraged. The hotel beach bar is right next to the sea - very good coffee and drinks, and you can order lunch to be brought down if you're too lazy to climb back up to the hotel! Plenty of other options for eating and drinking along the beach, and lots of opportunities for water sports 500 meters away at the Forte Village.

Good value if you want to be on the beach
Had a lovely holiday at the Abamar hotel. The hotel is nothing special but it is clean and the views from the rooms are beautiful. We were on the fourth floor (park side) and loved the view of the mountains/trees. The view from the breakfast terrace is also very nice and we enjoyed walking/relaxing on the pretty beach. Negatives - shower is small, bed was not super comfortable. Pros - beach, view. 10 min drive from good restos in chia

Bad experience
Even though the hotel beach was great, the hotel condition and staff were terrible. To make a long story short, my wife and i were there on our honeymoon and experienced the below. - Two single beds, when we sent down to the reception to check if we can get a king size bed, the old woman at the reception was rude and uncooperative. - The mattresses and pillows were a thousand years old - No safe, bin, or even an ashtray in the room - Internet access only available in the lobby, which by the way has no air conditioning. Imagine checking your emails soaked in sweat at 30 degrees - The room looked nothing like the one we booked online - The road leading to the hotel is more of an off road trail

Perfect beach hotel
The hotel is smack bang on one of the best beaches I've ever been to. Staff is extremely helpful and go out of their way to help you in any way they can. Breakfast buffet provided us with a variety of fresh fruit, pastries, juices and for both my son and husband's delight - English breakfast tea!!!!!! Transportation to and from the hotel to the airport was arranged by the hotel. Everyday, we joined the Zumba party at the beach in the morning and had lunch at the beach bar. My 12-year old son loved snorkelling in the clear and warm sea water. Will definitely be back!

Sea trees and mountain view
The hotel staff were friendly and helpful, the room was sapcious. The views were absolutely stunning, even if you opt for a room without the sea view. Italian breakfast are famously small, but the hotel had pleanty to eat. Having a fridge in the room was great to save money on eating out and enjoying food on the balacony. The pool had sea water, which was a pleasent surprise. I would definetly go again!!!

Great location; good hotel with fantastic staff
Our 10 night stay was great. The staff were friendly and very helpful, and the food surprisingly varied. The views of the sea are good, although the mature trees do block the vista, and would certainly be a nuisance if staying on lower floors. On the other side of the hotel, the views of the mountains are quite spectacular. A real escape!

Relaxing beach side holiday
Beautiful location surrounded by pungent pine trees yards from a well kept, clean sandy beach and blue ocean. Early June temperature was pleasant - not too hot. Sea view room well worth it. As outside school holiday and Summer high season hotel and beach not too busy. Swimming pool great size and as outlined in other reviews salty - but then so is the sea ! Local supermarket and cafe pizzeria short walking distance, and very friendly family run beach bar/restauarant 50 meters from hotel. Staff very friendly and helpful, albeit some restaurant waiting staff a little officious. Breakfast fine, evening meal could be a little bland, but also ate at local pizzeria and Pula town. Not a holiday for teeangers who want to party, but perfect for couples, and families with young children. Generally prices in beach cafes, hotel, local supermarket and restauarants were reasonable.

Pleasant hotel for a beach holiday
Great for a relaxing October break in the sun. Room very clean, recently modernised. Large bed and wardrobes. Small tv and mini bar. Roomy balcony overlooking the sea though chairs on balcony basic and not terribly comfy. We were on 5th floor - would worry if I had small children with us as balcony not terribly high. Lovely shower and water always hot. Being October there wasn't much to do in the hotel and very few guests (no other English guests). Shops 5 mins walk away all closed for the season so had a 15min walk along the road to a supermarket (closed for siesta every afternoon). sold everything needed. Only place to eat was hotel which we only did on 1st night as we'd arrived so late (expensive and basic - service fairly abrupt) so we used to get local shuttle bus for 1 euro to Pula where we found a few pavement cafes and restaurants and shops. Only problem is that last bus back was 19:45 so not able to go out for the evening. Other days we went to Cagliari for around 6.5 euros (hour journey) again no late bus back but more to do there. Otherwise we were happy to lie on hotel sunbeds on the beach or swim in sea or pool (very salty). Reception and bar staff helpful when we asked but didn't offer information unless we asked.

During our stay at the Abamar Hotel in Sardinia, we experienced a mix of positives and drawbacks. The renovated rooms provided us with delightful mountain and forest views, although the common areas gave off a dated 1980s vibe, which was somewhat disappointing. Wireless connectivity proved to be a significant challenge, primarily limited to the lobby area since the primary wireless access wasn't working at all on our first day. The breakfast experience fell short of our 4-star expectations, leaving us somewhat disappointed, and it felt rather like a hostel breakfast. The presence of single-use plastics and granulated coffee further added to this dissapointment. On a positive note, the outdoor spaces exuded charm, adorned with lovely views and a nice patio. Regrettably, the seawater pool was disappointing due to its cleanliness issues. Nevertheless, this was offset by the hotel's beautiful beach. Adding to our concerns, the elevator emitted a lingering cigarette smell and exhibited occasional erratic behavior, raising safety questions and causing discomfort. In summary, our experience at Abamar Hotel was somewhat underwhelming. Improvements in wireless access, breakfast quality, and the addressing of issues like the outdated common areas and the elevator's condition are essential for elevating the overall guest experience.
