Nuoro Vacations & Trips from $838

Sardinia as always is very beautiful and a lovely place to visit. Our initial contact with the hotel was to email to book our transfer from the airport. This was ignored and we had to call and email many times for a response. The accommodation was basic and had details like not being able to open wardrobes as the bed blocked it. Our first two nights we didn't have electricity and water and had a very loud night of a generator going near our room after. The restaurant on site we booked but after being ignored for 30mins with no sign of anyone coming we decided to leave. The pool area's were nice and the lifeguard Valeria was lovely and the entertainment staff worked very hard and were very nice. The location was only 20mins walk from the beach which was beautiful.

Lovely helpful staff, clean and tidy throughout, a good selection at the buffet breakfast and a nice pool area with fab views. We were 4 adults sharing 1 room and it was plenty big enough, including the bathroom. We had a sea view from our balcony which was great for sunrises and sunsets. It was particularly hot for time of year so aircon struggled a bit with the 4 of us in one room, but it was still bearable and the shutters on the balcony door really helped to keep the heat out during the day. The rest of the hotel was lovely and cool though, with spacious communal areas. The only negatives were the bed was not the most comfy, but this is a niggle as it was still possible to sleep ok, and the pool bar doesn't do proper snacks, just drinks, ice creams and crisps. But we did get some free crisps with our reasonably priced drinks and there's a lovely little supermarket with really helpful owners less than 10 minutes walk away. Access to the little beach directly across the road is closed for safety reasons but there is access to the sea a few tens of metres further down the road and also on the way into town. All in all, we had a fantastic stay and would hesitate to stay again!

Ours was a one night stay during a driving tour of Sardinia. La Baja is somewhat off the beaten track but a decent location for an intended visit to Tharros - though not executed by us because of poor weather (mid April 12). However, we were well met by friendly and helpful staff and made to feel welcome. It was clearly low season and our half board dinner was poor. Breakfast standard fare and OK. Location and our room balcony provided great panorama of a fairly ordinary bay (as later contrasted with what can be seen from other locations on the east coast...) but as also later discovered East Coast prices are higher. Overall, a decent stopover but unless you are seeking high Summer sun at a lower price than elsewhere on this lovely island do not book a week.

The staff members employed in the hotel are it's greatest assets in our opinion. They are all polite, helpful, knowledgeable and extremely competent. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and can recommend it to anyone thinking of visiting Olbia.

Absolutely beautiful hotel and the staff are so friendly and warm. Particular thanks to Alessio who helped us speak to the airport when our bags had been lost and Barbara and Damiano in the restaurant were so lovely and helped us learn some more Italian. The rooms are big, very clean, so cool and comfortable. The staff were fantastic and the food great. Buffet breakfast was fab, as was the buffet dinner. Lunch is a la carte and kind of expensive for lunch but Sardinia is quite expensive, so it’s all relative. There is a path from the hotel to the beach which is beautiful and some sun loungers and parasols reserved for Hotel Marana (you just need tickets from reception) there are some nice beach bars but seem to only open in the day. There is a restaurant open in the evenings, Marinella, which is beautiful but very expensive. We were about to order the lobster tagliatelle which said €35 on the menu, but it was €35 per 100g and weighed 800g so it would have been €280 each for a plate of pasta which is a bit out of budget, ha! The cheapest bottle on the wine list is €70, lovely, but just be aware! The hotel is peaceful and the other guests were all really nice and polite and considerate. Taxis are limited and so expensive. You can walk to Punta Marana to eat but other than that need a taxi or the train from opposite the hotel but they stop at 6.30pm. Visit Porto Rotondo. It’s fabulous.
