Top Porto Rafael Hotel Reviews

Grand Hotel Resort Ma&Ma - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"This was one of the most amazing, truly relaxing and luxurious experiences in Sardegna. A true gem in La Maddalena! The staff, specially Walter, the evening concierge and Fatou and Aicha, the breakfast staff, were the most helpful, kind, welcoming and wonderful! The entire atmosphere, the beach club, the spa, the pool area and the food were perfect! Everything was a 5 star experience, a destination worth visiting again and again."

Mangia’s Sardinia Resort, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing holiday here at Mangia in Sardinia. Secluded location away from busy cities, right on the beach; perfect for complete relaxation. I would recommend renting a car so that you can explore nearby towns such as Santa Theresa and to explore other beaches such as Capo Testa when you want to leave the grounds. From the moment we arrived, we felt very well taken care of by Angel. We arrived a bit early so they stowed our luggage away until our room was ready (we were able to have full access to the amenities while we waited). The room was ready an hour before check in, 20 minutes after we arrived. Our room was located on the third level (halfway point between the lobby and the beach). There are a lot of stairs on the property to navigate, but still completely walkable. Food options were tasty, though limited between 2:30pm and 6:30pm. We paid for breakfast to be included and opted to dine at the à la carte restaurants for lunch and dinner as well as other restaurants outside of the property. Had the best pizza, fregula and calamari on our entire trip (Sicily and Sardinia). And even BETTER service. We dined at their more upscale restaurant called Donna Fliorana and met Joey who also worked at Scausa Grill. He was professional, personable and such a great help with recommendations for wine and food. He went above and beyond and really made our dining experience special. His coworker Joshua was also very kind and helpful!"
