Hotel berhampiran Spiaggia di Porticciolo, Alghero

The camping is in a nice remote location. It is really quiet and far from any city. If you want to go to Alghero, you can use the BeachBus which takes around 45-50 minutes to go downtown. The camping also provides a shuttle service from/to the airport (30 euros for 4 people, 45 for 7). But being remote also has some downsides. If you are without a car, you are limited to what you find in the camping. The breakfast is not well furnished. If you have half-/full-board, you get a fruit juice, a hot beverage, a very sugary pastry and 2 biscotti with marmalade. No fresh bread or cheese. You can buy some in the store, but as they know that buying here is because you cannot buy elsewhere, prices are really high. The restaurant (not a pizzeria) is also not doing its full best. First the schedule for full-board people is tight and you have to come between 12h30 and 13h30 for lunch, and between 19h30 and 20h30 for diner. So this was not ideal as we had to be ready to eat with the kids at precise time and we could not decide to come later to enjoy the sunset or do something else before eating. And the schedule is on the paper, but they usually opened 15min later. Some dishes are very good, others are just re-heated food (sometimes not even enough heated). Serving people are really friendly, be it in the restaurant or for kid’s activities. But people at the main entrance are not that friendly. We even did not get all the information when we first arrived. We had to go to some desk, which was not open so we had to come again later. And even there the information was not complete… We also arrived once with the bus from the city, arms full of our shopping, and the kids got asleep in the bus. We kindly ask them to help us with their little car to bring the kids and/or our shopping but they said that their little car was only for taking care of newcomers… About swimming: there is a swimming pool, bare minimum (no slide, no jumping platform), but swimming caps are mandatory… Who is still doing this in 2022? Hopefully you can go down to the beach in 5min walk so we enjoyed the beach a lot. Nice sand, large, quiet water with little waves, beautiful water with a lot of fishes, sea stars, octopuses and so on. There also are a lot of sea urchin so take some water shoes with you because you could easily step on one. At the beach there is a bar serving beverages and ice creams. But neither in the beach bar, nor in the camping bar could we find some real Italian gelati (ice creams). This was a big disappointment to only get these industrial ice creams when you are in the country of house-made ice creams…

Enjoyed our week here, beautiful setting with its own beach at the end of the green by the pool / bar. Waiting staff are very welcoming and always happy to help. Rooms are spacious and very clean, the lack of an iron or access to one without having to pay is a bit mad, the only way you can iron your clothes is by paying for the laundry service, completely unacceptable for a four star hotel, basic mod-con in a room is an iron. That aside the restaurant is very nice, lovely food but you need to book before you arrive, we got caught short the first night and with the hotel being remote you've no other options unless you're driving, we were told to walk down a pitch black road with no footpath to get to the nearest restaurant. Unacceptable. We insisted on being seated as we hadn't eaten all day and it was 8pm at this stage. There really should be bar food available all day and night as apposed very limited hours at lunch time, as an alternative to the restaurant due to the hotels remoteness.The bar food is so good too, it's a shame it's not accessible for longer. You've literally nothing other then the bar at night if you're not eating in the restaurant. Renting a car is a must, luckily they're super cheap in Sardinia. Loads of activities to do during the day, renting bikes, scuba diving all available at the reception desk. There's a bus brings you directly into Alghero, only a 4/5 min walk from hotel. Costs less then €2. That's very handy if you've no car, takes 20mins. Neptunes cave a short drive away also. There's a newsagent / shop 10mins walk also, convenient for picking up snacks, water, toiletries etc. you'll pass dozens of cats and in our case a boar! All harmless and not to be feared. Would recommend the hotel but just be mindful of the small things like no iron in the room, remoteness. Still worth a visit.

We had such a great time here, awesome pool, large garden, olive trees. Well maintained. Staff super-friendly, restaurant has great food and is visited by locals regularly. Location is perfect, just north of Alghero, and next to the Airport (but no noise). This will be a recurring booking goong forward. Also enjoyed the wildlife, alpine swifts diving in to drink from the pool, large butterflies.

Excellent choice to explore West Coast to Sardinia as well as just relax at the hotel. Big plus of this hotel is beautiful beach right on the property, steps away from your room (make sure to get ocean view). Food was also great and on Wednesdays they do suckling pig roast/buffet - about 5 pigs around the wooden fire, right on the property. Other days food is good too. Hotel is located about 10 min from a picturesque Alghero village and about an hour from famous La Pelosa beach. Hotel can arrange a catamaran tour to visit close to the beach too which is way better than going into the zoo of cars and people of La Pelosa. The only suggestion about this hotel is to have a coffee machine in the room. Othe than that it’s one of the best in Sardinia.

This is a corporate feeling hotel that caters to groups and conferences. The rooms are okay and functional but a few problems cause me to recommend other stays. Most importantly, the attitude of the restaurant staff is nasty. They wouldn’t let me in a few minutes ahead of opening when I just wanted to see the sunrise view from the restaurant terrace. Then, they were upset that my sister in law asked for a coffee after she had tea. Most disappointing, they wouldn’t prepare a simple omelette for my daughter who is Crohn’s and avoiding oil and butter. The server said we should have scrambled eggs or a fried egg from the buffet (which was really basic). I can’t recall the last time I stayed at a high star hotel that wouldn’t make an omelette. But the view from the terrace is wonderful. The 2 elevators are insufficient for this hotel so prepare to wait several minutes for your ride but this is the least of my issues. A smile and pleasant service at the breakfast terrace would’ve made all else much better at the hotel. Oh… the location is excellent.

The hotel was clean and tidy. The staff from the cleaning crew, reception and the restaurant and bar staff were 1st rate. Always happy to oblige. After the 2nd day it was as if we’d known everyone for years. The pool area was lovely and clean and there was a lifeguard on duty every day. There are a few small sandy beach areas, but this side of island is mostly rocky. The bistro has a small menu with daily specials. Recommended you try some of the Sardinian dishes. Lovely food. We will definitely be returning to this hotel and this island.
