Pros +
- Beautiful hotel setting, the kids loved it, wish we could have stayed longer. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Nice quiet area (not so great for those wanting some night life) and perfect for families with young kids.
- Everything fulfilled our expectations.The resort is exactly as advertised.Staff -without exception is friendly, professional, very attentive to their guests needs.Facilities are excellent.Congratulations to all involved in keeping this place so special.
- Very convenient hotel for families with children, nice facilities and activities, nice bistro between pool and beach, perfect for an easy vacation. Kids can roam around by themselves, buy ice-cream etc.. all on their own. The staff is very friendly, the rooms are modern though not always offering the greates view depending on booked category. The hotel is located at the edge of the bay, overlooking the beach with a beautiful mountain range in the background.
Cons -
- Tennis courts would require extra attention.
- The breakfast times are a bit to short, especially when having a typically late dinner. At times, the breakfast area becomes really crowded, going early helps.
- Just feedback for improvement: there was some live music one night, but the song selection was really outdated - for people in their 70ies... Also you may want to improve the outdoor lighting in that area to something cozier - a lot of blue light flooding the patio did not feel right.

Very well organized! Very nice pool area, there were always sunbeds available, the salt-water pool is really beautiful. Quite tasty dinner and breakfast, high quality food. We stayed in a renovated room - very cozy and modern. Checkout is at 10:00, but we were given the option to check out at 12:00 for no extra charge.

Location is great, nice and clean room with walking shower. Beautiful sea view with good size of balcony. Food was delicious on the breakfast and dinner. Friendly members of staff!
Just a bit pricey dinner €40 per person when in local restaurant we spend €36 (drink and meal for two) But in overall on the dinner, food and wine was very tasty.
Very nice facilities, good location, beautiful pool area, nice bar and restaurant
The parking lot situation is a bit tense
beautiful resort in Arbatax. only a short drive from the port which is handy when doing the Baunei coast boat tour.. We booked half board and that was a good choice. restaurant/bar by the pool too but a bit expensive ( paid 20 euros for a burger) lots of free water activities and the saltwater pool was beautiful and massive. really enjoyed our time there. hoping to come back one day.
The town just around the corner has the most beautiful beach, the beach out the front of the hotel would have been lovely too but sadly we had bad winds. The guys at the beach hire shack are lovely and very helpful. And Lunch at the restaurant was good, we never ate dinner at the hotel as buffets aren’t for us, and the other restaurant didn’t open till 8pm. If club med is your vibe you’d probably like this place, breakfast was average. Do not bother with the massages.
We liked everything: the design in the room, the gardens, the staff, all the activities, the food and the parties. We will return there for sure. ?
The rooms are a bit noisy, you can hear the showers from the neighbors, the noise of slamming doors and the talks from the hall. The only minus, everything else was perfect.
Great location, next to sea
Organization of breakfast, too crowded
The pools are nice. The breakfast was excellent and also the restaurant at the pool served great food. The beach activities were also fun, offering a variety of water sports (like SUP, kayaking, canoeing and sailing)
The staff is a bit hit and miss. Some people clearly don’t want to be working there but some were very friendly. The room we stayed at was very basic. Not what I would call a four star room.
Accomodation, meal, beautiful see
As I travelled solo it was quite a weird that my table had only 1chair during meal time-I would appreciate two chairs ?and English speaking personal (reception staff communicate English but others -well it was catastrophic).
Great location, lovely staff, great food and service overall.
The bedroom was not great. Too small and the door was actually the window.
Absolutely everything. Amazing facilities, very kind staff, clean, lots of activities to choose from, great food, paradise!
- Excellent facilities in the resort- Picturesque views- Good food most of the nights- Great personnel in the kids club and kids disco every night that my kid enjoyed
- The room was horrible, looking like a communist relic, not renovated properly. We had spider web and mosquitoes in the room- The pool was freezing the first days of our stay (and we arrived on June 22)- I have been running in gyms all over the world and I’m yet to see a gym without air conditioning, besides the one at Club Saraceno. I got sick in the gym because it was really hot and smelly and the personnel simply did noy care- Most of the staff doesn’t speak English fluently, making it difficult to communicate. That includes the manager, which is terribly rude and arrogant- We had NO RUNNING WATER for half a day during our stay and we were not even notified about this
The restaurant 'à la carte' deserves a special mention. It offers perfectly executed dishes and amazing product, accompanied by an exquisit selection of the best wines on the island. In addition, the sommelier and the other staff are highly competent. It is possibly among the top ten restaurants on the island in terms of quality-to-price ratio.
The location of the hotel can be a little tricky. It is perfect if you plan to spend your days at the resort and the beach. However, if you are interested in agritourism or city/town sightseeing, it is not the best option. Especially if you don't have a car, access to the hotel is difficult because it is remotely located.
The hotel is like a little village on the seafront, it has beautiful gardens which are very well maintained. We booked a deluxe double room with sea view and it was just prefect. It was clean, spacious and modern. We only booked breakfast as we thought we could explore local restaurants however there was really no need to leave the complex. There are two restaurants serving lunch and dinner. The main one being the buffet style restaurant, which was 80 euros for the two of us and included a bottle of wine. The A La Carte restaurant near the beach can be booked on the day and served delicious food which was also reasonably priced. There is also another bar area for afternoon/evening drinks. All the staff were friendly and our waitress, Maria at the A La Carte restaurant was just amazing. We also booked the infinity pool for an afternoon, which cost 30 euros for the both of us, this was a very relaxing area and we ended up having it all to ourselves as no one else had booked.
Amazing beach, the best mountain view in Sardinia ? breakfast and dinner are perfect. Rooms are big and comfortable. Area is so green, plenty different flowers, sunset made my mood. WiFi
Our room had bad smell
view on the beach and being a little away from main hotel was a bonus. The room was very quiet and we enjoyed having a large terrasse overlooking the beach.
The room was extremely clean and the quality of the bed was very good.The bathroom was newly redecorated and smells very fresh.The hotel has a magnificent design for its gardening (trees, plants and flowers perfectly match with each other)The staff at the reception and water sports desk was extremely helpful and friendly.The quality of the breakfast products were very nice.
I stayed in this hotel with only breakfast included option with my wife. On 20th May, which was my birthday, I paid extra for having open buffet dinner option. I got an approval paper from reception desk in order to be accepted as dinner guest for that day. When we first arrived dinner area on 20th of May around 7.30 pm., we took a seat on a mini table (2 people) to having our dinner (No guidance made by the staff at that time so they let everyone to select their tables) Then the staff asked us which drink to select and we even started to drink our wines. 10 minutes later, a male staff (seems to be the lead of waiters/waitresses of that area with black cardigan and aged around 45-50 ) came to our desk and said we cannot sit on that desk. They said this desk belongs to full-board clients. When we first took a seat, there was no sign on our table like reserved etc. or there was no signs on the walls which shows that this area specifically belongs to the full board clients. In order to not having any problem, we left the table calmly and moved to another one. However, it was a very annoying moment for me to leaving our table on my birthday! That person was very disrespectful!
