Banari Holidays

The hotel complex itself was nice, staff was always happy to help. Downfall was the pool was cold until late afternoon. The lake/sea was warmer. And very limited food options unless you are a fish lover. We only ate here one night, out of 5 due to lack of options. Especially with a kid. And public transport few and far between made long days and forward thinking. Plus the walls are very thin. And can hear a lot going on outside. So if it’s a lay in you want. May be not. However I would stay again, the lakes beautiful and makes a great swim. With a lot to do.

Very clean room and property. Helpful and friendly staff. Great food. The property is a bit dated but very clean.

Amazing hotel, stunning views, nice friendly staff, exquisitely clean. The birthday cake surprise on my birthday was beyond nice. Nice serene beach with crystal clear water. I would go back in a heartbeat.

Pool and spa look good.

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.
