Riola Sardo Vacations from $2,151

Our stay was nice! Overall, I would return but there were a few not so great things. 1. The beds are very hard (typical of Italy). 2. The toilet in our room dripped 24/7. 3. The hotel restaurant has a very strange dinner menu. 4. The shower temperature fluctuated and went boiling hot out of no where. 5. Not a lot of pool chairs. 6. Paying 40 euros for an umbrella and chairs at the private beach they own as hotel guest seems unnecessary. 7. The sand on their private beach was full of wood chips (the free side right beside it was much nicer).

Quite possibly the most dishonest hotel I've stayed at.  Whilst it's beautiful and serene, with a lovely beach, please be warned of some of the practices deployed by staff.  We booked an airport transfer upon arrival: the driver arrived at the exact time of us landing (which cabbie does this??) and we were charged a wait time. There was no allowance made for customs or luggage. Very cheap tactic.  They also tried to charge an extra night city tax, which we had not occupied the hotel.  We tried to take a late check out in lieu of missing our first night: given that is low season and the hotel was almost empty, you'd think they'd show some good will. No: they wanted to charge €120 for us to stay in our room until 5pm. Food is very average. It's a relaxing resort, but the mentality to fleece guests is disgusting. It wouldn't happen in Greece!  I'd avoid this island and the resort based on the hotel staff and taxi driver's behaviour, as one receptionist agreed with me that their approach was a cultural issue/nuance.

Great secluded location!

Everything was perfect

Super friendly staff. Pretty beach onsite. Great restaurants on site. Advertisement of shuttle service to/from airport non existent. That was not good because the transfer fees were over $100 each way and I should have ordered a car at the airport had I known.
