Smy Sighientu Thalasso & Spa Sardegna

We had a lovely holiday in May in Sighientu resort. Very nice hotel, just 40 min drive away from Cagliari airport. The food was very good, every day was a different choice of food, very well cooked and full of flavour. Loved it. Big beautiful swimming pool, very clean and plenty of Sun beds. The sea is very clean with crystal clear water. Staff in the hotel was lovely and very helpful. The room could be decorate better, the walls were empty and lacking style. If you are going to stay in this hotel, I would highly recommend to hire the car as there is nothing outside of the hotel near by. You need the car to go anywhere - No bars, no restaurants, nowhere to walk to, just long streets of private villas. We had the car, so we could travel to other places. Enjoyed our stay!! :)

The best part: pool!!! Lots of sunbeds! 4 nights stay...I booked this hotel for a family break whilst exploring different areas in Sardina. One of the feature is its own beach, which was very disappointing. Full of seaweeds and stoney. Parking: outside the hotel and an overflow area. Rooms: booked 2 rooms, 1 for me and my husband and 1 for our adult boys. Our room was on 3rd floor, which were spacious but lack useful furnitures. The digital lock did not work so normal key to use which sounds loud. A phone which supposed to be used to call reception did not work either. There's small smelly fridge and a safe. On the plus side, there's a huge lounge area outside the few rooms and a huge terrace area but only enjoyable in the evenings as too hot during the daytime. Boys room was in 2nd floor which is smaller than ours and smelled unpleasant. Has a bath tub. Ants in some areas of both rooms. The housekeeping lady gave me a bottle of antspray... sorted! No kettles in rooms and ac has only one temperature setting. Breakfast: We only booked the breakfast and not opted for all-inclusive as we planned to try different restaurants in evenings. Buffet Breakfast choice is the same everyday. Not the best quality but a nice coffee bar with barista made up up for the poor quality food available. There were fruits available both fresh and from tins. Juices from machine ( watery or sugary). There was always something to fill you up like yoghurts, cakes eggs and bacons etc. Same restaurant is used for lunch and dinner. Pool area: Entertainment around the pool except lunchtime- 15.00. Pool size is very good and clean. The pool bar is attached to the pizza restaurant ( only open at dinner). That's only bar that serves the whole hotel. Quite expensive for drinks and snacks. Spa area: costs extra 20 eur per 2 hrs ( indoor pool and a smaller pool outside the gym). Reception: Helpful receptionist. No bar just a water station. There are no machines to get softdrinks or coffees after 12 midnight. Restaurants in the area: Victory... next to hotel. It serves local dishes, mostly seafood. Nice dishes but slightly pricey. Mammai's... abot 10-12 mins walk located by the main road, also a seafood restaurant. Green Pizzeria by the main road is the same distance. Mini COOP next to Mammai's about 8 mins walk. Good place to get snacks and drinks from. It's 30 mins drive to Cagliari; 15 mins drive to Poetto which has nice long beach and close to McDonalds. There are few nice beaches nearby. But you would need a car. Villasimius is about 45 mins away by car. There are buses both to Cagliari and Villasimius from outside mini Coop. Always check your booking as this hotel charge compulsory fees for using towels, gym, main pool, to be paid on check-in. You are given a watch-like bracelet to use when paying for something in the hotel like drinks, etc. Overall, this hotel is in a nice setting, by a marina but is definitely in a 3 star standard.

A fantastic resort in a great location in southern Sardinia - well-maintained, with a beautiful garden, large pool, kids' area, as well as a private beach and friendly English-speaking staff :) The All Inclusive food is very tasty and diverse, with both meat and vegetarian options, daily seafood, local dishes, fruits and vegetables, as well as sweets, ice cream, and delicious freshly brewed coffee in the morning! The location itself is about a 30-40 minute drive from Cagliari airport. Nearby are the most beautiful beaches and bays on the island, and it's also close to Villasimius and Costa Rei.

Average place, not close to the name “resort”. Basic rooms, cold inside. In the bathroom kitchen towels, instead of the normal baths (except the one for a shower). In the room we missed at least a glasses, not mentioned some other equipment, which is a standard in every European hotel for two stars or more. And kindness of a personality-it’s fake. They are just there. Not for a help, but because they’re must be. Give yourself a favor, find a better accommodation for the same price.

Nice building but it’s essentially an all inclusive resort for a French people. It’s noisy, dirty, expensive. Be ready to get your towels on chairs by the pool early if you want a lounger. The beach is stony and has lots of sea **** on it. None of our family want to swim in. We checked on today but will be checking out early

Hotel Sighientu is quite fine. Rooms are spacious, the facilities are older, not so modern but ok. We had problem with the door to our room and the door to the terrace – it was really difficult to close them. The bathroom had both a shower and a bath, but there wasn’t enough space between the shower and the toilet so it was difficult to use the toilet. Each individual terraces wasn’t separated from one other, so you have no privacy. The food in hotel restaurant was very tasty and we were satisfied with the selection of food. In addition to the hotel restaurant, there is also a pizzeria, which is excellent. Housekeeping was fine. If you want to spent summer holiday by the sea, don’t choose this place, because the water in the sea was so shallow. Even if you go to the buoys, the water is still only above your knees and if you try to swimm you scratch your knees. The entrance to the sea is very rocky. The hotel's beach, which included a volleyball court, was not a place to relax due to frequent sports activities and loud music, which was also constantly mixed with music from the pool.
