Hotel berhampiran Serra Orrios, Dorgali

We were in a group of 125 dancers and I think most people had a wonderful time in this resort. There were some issues, however, the accommodation was good, the dance venue was excellent, the swimming pool large and clean, the food was reasonable and the restaurant had loads of choices - albeit fewer for people who have specific dietary requirements, but there was meat, fish, pizza, pasta/rice in many versions and sauces (and pasta also for celiac people on request) many different type of starters and salad. In general, there was a good variety of food available daily. Breakfast included yogurt, sausages, bacon, eggs, cereals, fruit, cheese and cold meats, cakes and pastries, then typical breakfast drinks including cappuccino, coffee, latte, macchiato, chocs etcetera – although if you arrived late for breakfast, it made a difference as to which of these items were available. However, for those who got up from bed very late and missed breakfast, the resort provided “L’angolo del Dormiglione” or “Sleepy Head Corner” located in front of the bar area and featuring a small selection of breakfast items, which I thought it was an excellent customer service idea that I never experienced anywhere else before. Breakfast was repetitive, but then that is the nature of breakfast. Yes, they ran out of butter and some other foods at times, and also wine, but eventually these were replaced. Canned beer was given out freely and some other hotel guests outside our group went for it, and so the resort introduced restrictions. However, the event organiser bought several crates of beer (and also got some from the resort) all these were taken to the area of the restaurant reserved for us and these were available freely to us all. It was the end of the season and probably the staff was tired and looking forward to going home, and, whilst service with smile is always a welcome bonus, in the end I believe that most people enjoyed dancing in a fantastic venue overlooking the bay and the nearby village during a week of uninterrupted sunshine with easy access to the nearby beach (on foot and/or via the little free tourist train that runs regularly throughout the day for guests, between the resort and the beach) with free parasol and deck chairs. All in all, this was a great and affordable event in a lovely venue, and whilst it cannot be denied that there were some issues, I feel that there were also many positive aspects that also need to be considered.

We've just spent a fabulous week in this beautiful part of Sardinia. The hotel is lovely, not too crowded, rooms a good size with huge beds. The bathroom has a shower that could be updated and a little larger. The bathroom would definitely be generous enough to accommodate this. Plenty of towels provided in the rooms, if you don't want to bring a pool/beach towel they can be rented for a small fee. The air conditioning was very welcome during our stay. There is a super buffet breakfast that catered for just about everyone. Although the pool is a little chilly it's super clean and hasn't been crowded. The pool bar serves a great cocktail and a really lovely iced coffee. From the hotel it's a 15 minute walk to harbour with boat trips, or self drive boat hire available. We took a full day trip, self hire to explore the coastline from the sea. This was a true highlight of the holiday, the water was warm and clear and the scenery stunning. We even saw dolphin swimming alongside us.! Restaurants in Cala Ganone served delicious food and ice cream in any flavour imaginable. All prices were very reasonable. If you haven't been already, Sardinia is a wonderful place to visit.

Stayed for three nights in one of the cottages near the art shop. Our room was spacious, well equipped and even had an outdoor bath in our little garden.The decor was tastefully Sardinian and had coffee and tea facilities. We ate all three nights in the hotel, the first night in the “Bread Nest” where our tasting menu was prepared and cooked by two ladies using a wood fired oven. All courses had a bread base and were delicious. We ate in the main restaurant the second night and had the amazing suckling pig. On our last night we tried the vegetarian tasting menu sat in the vegetable garden. During both tasting menu nights the food just kept coming and a carafe of wine and bottles of water were included. All of our meals were very good value for money. Breakfast was ample with plenty of choice. The pool area was very pleasant to relax in and has a bar area close by. The Magico Tablao bar was very stylish, had a great atmosphere and served amazing cocktails and also three different excellent craft beers ( bottled). All staff were friendly helpful and professional. It is worth just wandering around the hotel to see all the different areas where works of art have been tastefully placed. We could find no fault with hotel at all and would thoroughly recommend it.

Beautiful resort. I cannot emphasize that enough. The gardener was out every day. It is stunning. The staff were INCREDIBLE. Couldn't do enough for us. They were chatty, loved talking to our toddler and giving her lots of attention. The manager was so kind and helpful. To be honest all the staff were. The cleaners were wonderful. They couldn't speak a word of English but we worked around the language barrier fine, they adored our daughter and one even gave her little kisses each time she saw her. Anyway that is the staff. The breakfast buffet was amazing. There was so much choice and it was beautifully displayed. They cater to vegetarians and coeliacs very well. The rooms look a little dated but the mattress was so comfortable. I slept amazing while there and I suffer from insomnia!! Laundry service is €15 for a fairly large bag and is ready the following morning all clean and not creased. The only thing I can say that is negative is we were supposed to be poolside but were not. This is an issue we will take up with *********** though. Manager was so good and changed our room. All in all. Spectacular place. 15 min walk to beach / marina. 2 small supermarkets 5 minute walk. Oh and the wildlife is stunning. We had swifts flying down to the pool when we swam. Collared doves, hooded crows, swallowtail butterflies. Highly recommend!!
