Mara Holidays

First impressions are very much 'oh dear', this ain't no 4 star and no it's not. But you'll probably get used to it and have a nice holiday anyway. So reflect that you get what you pay for and you'll be ok. It's such a shame that no-one really cares, because it could be so much better. It's away from other hotels, has a massive beach nearby, a nice town to walk to and some decent facilities...pool, bikes, tennis. But it's not hard to see the flaws...the broken loungers dumped all round the place, the lack of any garden care, the loose tiles in the rooms, the crap "stage" for the annoying repetitive evening entertainment that drives people away, that no one could be bothered to cut up some fruit for breakfast, the premium rates for sitting on front row sun loungers...god, the list could be endless. But it's not fair to say you won't enjoy it. You will and we did. Because Sardinia is gorgeous and the sun shines. It's just that at the end I couldn't be bothered to tell them how to improve things and just rolled with it. It's that kind of place.

This was one of the best vacations we have ever had in this resort. The beach was one of the best I’ve spent 14 days at, the pool was nice too. The amenities they provided like shower gel, shampoo, conditioner and body lotion all acqua Parma high end products. I had a spacious room and housekeeping came twice a day and did a great job. I attended a start of summer party which they did very well with everything included, live music, drinks and gourmet food from their restaurant Gusto, it was a great night. Tuesday is pizza night where they have a pizza truck on the premises for 30 euros per individual pizza, fun night. On Wednesday they had Sardo night with traditional local entertainment and typical Sardinian food also a fun evening. The maître d'hôtel would come around in their restaurant and explain the fresh fish available and how it is prepared, one night they prepared for me half lobster with pasta and red sauce for 118 euros. Local Sardinian wines were available and delicious, I pretty much ordered the same one daily for 60 euros. Breakfast was either buffet or order from a menu with eggs made to order or a buffet with everything you can imagine all included with your room. I didn’t have a rental car but if you wanted to experience another restaurant in neighboring towns it was 10 euros per head each way on their shuttle. They have a wonderful bar area with live music daily, I had a grey goose 18 euros with club soda 10 euros extra, my wife had an aperol spritz 23 euro

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!

What a beautiful hotel! 10/10

the location is in nice and quiet location. La Magdalena island it feels like an island.
