A gem in Villasimius
Amazing place set on one of the beautiful beaches of Villasimius. Great service with attention to detail. Well located close to the little town and other beaches and scenic spots. Large open spaces reaching out to the beach.

Lovely Hotel, Good Food, Staff very helpful. Great area, only downside : 'bugs'. Not sensitive myself no problem, but a member of the party was badly affected. Seems attracted at night by the light. Also problem Pool for people who are not good swimmers. No gradual sloping but a sharp drop to a depth of 1.80m - too deep for most of us to stand in any part of the pool. Beach an alternative, except when high winds blow.

Beach was great and nice and close Prices do not reflect the property, it's definitely overpriced. €50 per person for a buffet (which doesn't include water and doesn't let you bring your own from the room) that one night consisted of scallops and kangaroo stewing away in their pots- surely any half decent chef would know they would be overcooked and rubbery? Staff are friendly Resort is very noisy at night

When we checked in, the hotel staff person was very nice and accommodating. When she showed us the room, we were very surprised to find an outdated room with absolutely no view but overgrown trees from the balcony. When we asked for another room they wanted over $250 per night additional. We told them we paid over $1,000 per day to book the room and expected more. They told us we should have booked the room directly on their website and not through Expedia as we would have gotten a much better deal. The rooms need updating for the price they charge! We were told we would move to anther room of equal value the next day. That night in the first room the outdoor bar played loud music until 1.30 AM and then the kitchen staff being located right outside our room started making tons of noise at 6.30 AM. Needless to say the first night was horrible. The front desk manager seemed to keep repeating a scripted message over and over again when we complained. It was a horrible feeling that did not seem to matter to this gentleman. He offered us the upgraded room for another $120 per night but we didn’t want to pay more for our room than we already did. The other hotel staff and restaurant workers were excellent. The beach and pool staff were great as well. We ended up having a great time but not worth the money. Booking through Expedia should protect us but in this case worked against us as they have us their worst room possible.

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your stay at the Pullman Timi Ama Sardegna. I am sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations. Regarding the room, I'm sorry to learn that this wasn’t to your liking. You have been staying in a Superior garden view room. These rooms, haven’t been affected yet by the restructuring plan started a few years ago, even though the non-renovated rooms have a more traditional Sardinian style and décor, they absolutely meet all the standards and comfort of a 5-star hotel. I am surprised that you've found lack of landscape in our garden. Here at Pullman Timi Ama we are proud to be surrounded by 11 hectares of park and vegetation, to have a forest of juniper trees and very colorful bougainvillea. Despite the generosity of nature towards us I am sorry that it wasn’t of your liking. Due to the high occupancy of that day, our front office manager could not offer you to change for the same type of room you booked, but immediately offered you a very good deal (considering the time of the season) to upgrade to an Executive room. However the following day we did make the actions of moving you to a different room Finally, I am also sorry to learn that you found unsatisfactory the soundproofing, I would like to inform you that in all the renovated rooms we have also introduced improvements in this regard. About our staff making noise, you can be sure I already informed the HR and the restaurant manager to prevent this unpleasant situations, however this is not the kind of behavior our team members are used to and I kindly ask you to accept our most sincere apologies. We appreciate you shared your concerns, and it is our hope that you will give us the opportunity to better serve you in the near future. Best Regards, Patrick Recasens GM Pullman Timi Ama Sardegna

One of the best experiences we’ve ever had! There is a ton to do at this resort, with a beautiful beach and beautiful pool. Incredibly friendly staff and amazing food. Don’t expect to get a great deal on food and drink prices, but if you’re willing to pay for a good quality will find it here. Breakfast is included with the rain and it’s an absolutely fantastic breakfast.

Good hotel and facilities
My husband and I stayed here for 11 nights. We are from England and seemed to be the only English people staying. Our room was a bay side and we could see the pool, lake and beach in the distance. Very beautiful view and we spent a lot of time relaxing on the balcony. Our room was clean and comfortable. They are Mediterranean style and fitted in perfectly with what we expected. Wouldn’t want a clinical white tiled bathroom and room when staying in Sardinia. The buffet dining was good. Again not the best we have had. But plenty of choice although after 11 days it was becoming a bit of the same. They had a special every day but the rest of the food was more or less the same daily. And if you are a fish lover you are in for a treat. The beaches are excellent and it’s a pleasant stroll to the beach or a shuttle that takes a couple of minutes. It is a bit remote and 3 miles into Vallasmius but to be honest apart from the beach the town is nothing special and it’s not very picturesque in the day or evening. We hired a car and would definitely recommend. You can take a nice trip along the coast to some fantastic beaches. This area is not very commercialised and would say only go to this area if you want some good beaches. There aren’t any shopping towns nearby to mooch in. The staff are very friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. We had an inconvenience during our stay and they couldn’t do enough to rectify it. They certainly want you to have a good time.

A perfect stay
The hotel is set in beautiful tranquil grounds. The beach is idyllic, the sea transparent blue and clean. The beach is a short walk from the hotel by the salt lake with beautiful flamingos. Plenty of activities throughout the day from sea aerobics, volleyball, tennis, zumba or one can just laze on the beach beds sipping a smoothie or two. The rooms are large, clean and comfortable, each with a balcony facing the well kept gardens. Food is plentiful and fresh with a good variety each day to suit every palate. Evening entertainment is actually great fun. Most importantly what makes this hotel a perfect stay is the staff- a special thanks to Prince, Ciro, Ricardo, Melissa, Antonio and Mohammed. The service is exceptional. I certainly would go back.

Dear guest, Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience at Pullman Timi Ama. I am sorry to read that your experience did not entirely meet your expectation. I am also disappointed to read that you didn’t appreciate the location of our hotel, usually very fancied by our guests. Our hotel has an exceptional location, on the edge of a natural salt lake and at less than 500 meters from the sea and surrounded by 11 hectares of nature. We have one of the most beautiful beach of Sardinia in front of the hotel with a private space of more than 300 beach umbrellas and (in supplement) private gazebo. In case you aren’t satisfied with all that space provided by the beach, we also have equipped different spaces in which to relax at any time of the day. We have a Lobby Bar by the pool or on the terrace, private gazebos (in supplement) on the lawn, panoramic terraces on the 3rd floor and a Connectivity Lounge with comfortable chairs , television, computers and music. Regarding your comments on our ‘’online limited staff’’ I can ensure you that any email is treated in a really short time, maximum 24 hours upon its receipt and has a follow-up to ensure a quick response. It is absolutely not our intention nor our interest to let any kind of request without any answer. We are ready to welcoming you again upon your next stay, trying then to regain your confidence. Yours sincerely, Patrick Recasens GM Pullman Timi Ama

beautiful location
The communication between the various restaurants and the main reception was poor. Single travellers were given less priority than large groups. Unable to book bicycles, unable to book an a la carte meal one night. The taxi ride from the airport was expensive. The local town had good food at reasonable prices. The hotel had limited transport arrangements into the town. Booking the transport was essential or the consequence was to pay for the taxi. The management preferred to argue rather than say sorry for any shortcomings. No "senior "manager was prepared to come and speak to us. The buffet breakfast was good , but on Sunday morning they ran out of croissants at 9.15 am.The beach was lovely.

Dear guest, Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience at the Pullman Timi Ama Sardegna. I am sorry that your experience did not entirely meet your expectations.For the buffet, our breakfast is regularly restored in every dishes until 10.00 am and, in order to refilled the buffet our staff need to go back to the kitchen. This short period of time may have confused you, but I can assure you that our staff is very attentive to offer the best service. Regarding your comment on your inability to book an à la carte meal, please let me explain.You wanted to have dinner at I Ginepri, our Beach Restaurant but the it was booked for a special and private event. Our Food and Beverage Manager then, offer you the possibility to have an à la carte dinner at La Veranda, in which we usually offer a buffet dinner. Please note that you also have the possibility to eat à la carte at Il Mediterraneo and at Su Tea, our newly Gourmet and Rooftop Restaurant. I am sorry to hear that the communication between our different departments may have in one way or another, bother you, I am at your disposal if you want to explain in more detail the reasons for this comment. I would like to inform you that the transfer is a service proposed by our hotel through an agency that has its rates aligned on the market’s ones. Plus, I’d like to clarify that on our web site and all other communication channels we have, price and information are listed. At the airport you also have all the information (regulated by law) provided on half boards about the transfer cost, whether you decide to book it through our agency or not. On the other hand, we do propose a free shuttle service to Villasimius several times per day and I am sorry to read that you wasn’t entirely satisfied by this service. We appreciate you sharing your concerns, we look forward welcoming you again.

My team and I are really thankful for your kind words that are a true reward for the effort we put every day in our profession. I am so disappointed to know that the variety and freshness of our food (we are proud to work with local providers), usually very appreciated by our customers, was not to your liking. We offer 14 themed buffets at La Veranda restaurant: Mediterranean, Sardinian, Gala, Caribbean, Oriental ... themes with a wide selection of seafood, shellfish, grilled meat, pasta, risotto. This allows our guests to savor international cuisine, but also Italian, Sardinian and Mediterranean specialties. Then we also propose a à la carte beach restaurant, at I Ginepri which offers a wide range of Sardinian specialties and at Il Mediterraneo. We have also opened on July Su Tea, our Rooftop Gourmet restaurant where we hope to welcome you soon on a future stay. But I am sorry to read that from an exhaustive list of dishes and different choice of restaurants you have found our food “average”. With regard to the cleanliness of the room, it is of paramount importance to which we devote several hygiene and quality controls during the season. We can assure that the various control cleaning results have been exceeded and therefore, I am sorry to know that cleaning was not entirely his own positive evaluation. I immediately forwarded your comment to the Principal Housekeeper and I can assure you that all necessary actions will be taken to improve the quality of cleanliness in the rooms.

Beautiful resort on the beach
We enjoyed our 4 night stay at this beautiful resort. The location is quite remote - an hours drive to Cagliari but the small town of Villisimius is nice to visit as well. The breakfast buffet was impresive with a wide variety of different choices. The dinner buffet (€35) also had a huge variety. We found the maître d and other managers in the restaurant to be a little snobby and it seemed like they were watching everything with hawk eyes. This could be just checking that everything is ok, but it seemed excessive and made us a bit uncomfortable. The waiters and waitresses were very attentive and friendly. The beach is beautiful, but the charge of €70 for front row lounge chairs and €50 for the 2nd row seemed excessive. That being said, it was close to empty so we were happy with row 3 and our choice of any of the loungers. Perhaps if it were very busy we would consider paying this. Overall the facilities are amazing - our room was spacious, clean, the bed was very comfortable and the amenities were very nice. (The €3 charge for a bottle of water left on the table did seem excessive though).

Great on the outside, not so on the inside
This hotel looks amazing and a lot of parts of it really are beautiful. I do think it's catered more for families as Half Board options are more 5 star Egypt than 5 star Dubai. You can only eat in one place if on half board and it's dinner only, not a choice of lunch or dinner. We only ate in the half board place 2 times out of 5. The beach area and pool area are really nice and would recommend. However, there is no service to your sunbeds but you can get up, order and then they bring it over for you?? Bizarre really. Main issue, we had a room which smelt and the king bed was 2 beds pushed together. I made comment to them about this and they offered a "refurbished room" (why am I paying 600 euro a night for an inadequate room). The room was updated but smaller, the bathroom tiny. However, the bed was a proper bed(my wife is pregnant) and more comfortable and the room was clean and airy with no smell. I said I'd speak to my wife to see if she wanted to move and come back. I went back and the reception said the room she showed me was an upgraded room and need to pay another 500 euros! I was stunned, all I wanted was a room with a bed and didn't smell. She then began to barter with me about how much I would pay..... I'd paid enough, wrote down "0" and walked away. I'm embarrassed they run a hotel like this

Dear Guest, We thank you for taking the time to write this review about your experience at the Pullman Timi Ama Sardegna. I’m disappointed to read that not everything went as expected and that you are disappointed by your experience. To better understand what happened, I turned to our Front Office Manager who remembers very well of you and your wife. You booked and were assigned a classic room bay side, not yet renovated. Our Front Office Manager explained me that you complained about the bed (separate mattresses and too soft) and the bad smell inside the room. As for the smell, we have immediately asked to our Housekeeper in person to check the room, but any bad smell was perceived. Actually it’s quite strange as no one ever complained about smelly rooms in that area of the hotel has been. From what I understand, the receptionist who assisted you proposed you to see a renovated room with a more comfortable double bed. As our usual practice, before accompanying you to see the new room, she informed you of the surcharge you would have to pay if you had decided to change to a superior room. It seems to me frankly exaggerated to say that the receptionist then started to barter with you to see how much you were willing to pay for the new room. After explaining that the proposed rate was discounted - € 100.00 per night instead of € 134.00 -, and that we were in the middle of our peak season with very few available rooms, given your reaction, she just asked what did you value the refurbished room. Perhaps the question was inappropriate, but believe me, it was not her intention to trade. I'm sorry you didn’t appreciate our little gesture on the next day with a note and a bottle of sparkling wine (not cheap at all!) delivered to your room. We are sorry to learn that the room felt short of your expectations. I take this opportunity to inform you that we have started a massive restructuring plan for the rooms. I really hope I’ll have the chance to accommodate you in one of our newly renovated rooms on the occasion of a future stay. I thank you once again for your review. I do hope to welcome you back soon trying to regain your confidence. Regards, Patrick Recasens

Lovely hotel in great location
Stayed here recently for four nights with my cousin. It's about an hour from the airport and we'd rebooked a car to take us. The hotel is so lovely, on arrival, checked us in, offered us a welcome drink on the terrace whilst they told us about the facilities of the hotel. There are a few restaurant options and for the first night we ate at the beach restaurant, also having lunch there on another day. Didn't make use of the spa, but it looked great and really enjoyed the pool and beach areas. Each drink gets served with lovely nibbles that change each evening and the buffet breakfast was also really lovely.

Nice hotel, good location but too expensive
The hotel has a great location and most of the staff are lovely. I wouldn't say it was a 5* resort though and the cost of food and drink is quite ridiculous when compared to the local area. I wouldn't mind so much if the food was good but it was a real let down. The local town has some great restaurants and bars and is worth a visit.

In a word, paradise.
5 nights here in late May 2017 and it was absolutely delightful. Not too busy but v obviously a great hotel with excellent food and attentive, friendly, laid back staff. Hotels like this live or die on their staff, and this one has some of the very best. Beach + beach resto is v v lovely too.

Amazing location, beautiful views
The hotel is in a beautiful spot,drove coast road from the airport with breathtaking views.had a ground floor room over looking pool, the location was excellent but walls are thin so can hear upstairs toilet being flushed and people walking past. Didn't spoil room overly. Staff attentive and welcoming. Expensive if not full or half board. Food lovely. Would recommend and I would stay here again.

Good location with good access to private beaches
Nice hotel in a good location, but we expected the food and the service to be a bit better for this class of hotel - so much so that we chose to eat out in Villasimius a few times to add to the variety. Given the tiled floors and the aircon ducting, sound also carries rather too well - so it was less relaxing than expected. Having said that, the staff at check-in were extremely helpful - we arrived after midnight in a hire car and in the pouring rain - and they sorted everything with minimum fuss, which was very welcome.

Great Hotel, Friendly staff, Fantastic Spa
My wife and I recently stayed at Pullman Timi Ama hotel and we had a fantastic time. The room was a sea view and was spotlessly clean every day following the cleaners visit. It was a refurbishes room which is important you specify when making your booking as the old rooms need updating. The staff were so helpful and the spa was so amazing. The treatment was good value and the quality was 1st class. The breakfast was a large Buffett and there was lots of options. The Ginepre resturant was the best place to eat at the hotel! The setting. And the beach were amazing so beautiful! Well worth a stay!

I booked this hotel for my senior mother, and during checking she was told that dinner (55 euro per day) was included But in fact it was not included and she had to pay for it Moreover, for for one dinner she was attempted to be charged twice So, be very careful with the final bill and other terms in this hotel

Enchanting hotel with wonderful private beach
As a getaway for a week or so, this hotel has everything needed; the staff is very helpful, the rooms are clean and of considerable size, the activities offered by the hotel are covering all that one could wish for. The only let-down was the fairly slow WiFi (who would want to use it in such a location however?). The private beach is in a stunning location and all sand. Enchanting and definitely worth it!

Very enjoyable holiday. As you have so much solar gain, I believe it could be resourced to heat the large swimming pool in the cooler months. Because the pool is very deep, it is very very cold, too cold for most people to enjoy in Sept, Oct, April & May. Staff and food excellent. The shuttle to Villasimius and to the beach very appreciated.

Nice resort hotel
No complaints - it's an attractive resort hotel. Large pool area. Beach is 10 mins walk away but with a shuttle bus. Loungers a bit too crammed into hotel's private area for my liking but plenty of almost deserted public beach just beyond. Vast majority of people seemed to be on half board and so taking the buffet option in the evenings. We were on B&B and the 50 euros per person price seemed far too much for a buffet - even a very good one as this was - so we had to walk down to the beach restaurant every evening - nowhere else to eat on the resort. That's a minor gripe though as that was also very good with exceptional seafood. There's not much going on outside the hotel - this is a part of Sardinia that seems to be dominated by larger resorts - but for some late summer sun in pleasant surroundings this was absolutely fine.

Hotel setting, main hotel, staff and food excellent. Hotel is rated 5* - garden room was definitely not 5* standard - more 2-3. Bathroom tired and in dire need of refurb. Only 1 continental plug socket - have stayed in better premier inn rooms. Vast difference in room conditions. Paying for 5*, expect 5*
