The hotel rooms could have been a bit better as they were quite dark in the evenings even with all the lights on and experienced flooding with water and fecal pieces. However, my overall stay was good, but I wouldn't rate it as a 4-star experience.

The hotel rooms had a shady feel due to the brown and blue colors but were clean and quiet. The stunning views promised on the website didn't disappoint, perfect for a relaxing stay. The service was extremely cooperative and courteous, making our experience pleasant. The location, while peaceful with a diligent guard, was a bit far from the town center and challenging to access without a car. The dining experience offered a good selection of cold foods but lacked typical Sardinian dishes. Overall, a peaceful retreat with welcoming service and noteworthy views.

The hotel offers clean and uncluttered rooms with usual amenities, but the furniture is really old and the smell was not pleasant. The service, especially from staff members like Simon and Claudio, was exceptional, and they went out of their way to make recommendations and ensure a enjoyable stay. The location is ideal for exploring the surrounding areas, but the surroundings lacked charm and had limited relaxation options. The dining experience was subpar with very basic options and not suitable for vegetarians. Overall, a mixed experience with some highlights but also some drawbacks.

The hotel offers stunning views of the car park from the quite big rooms that are nicely furnished and equipped, though a bit old. However, the payment system for amenities is cumbersome, not allowing room charging. The location is not particularly picturesque but is conveniently close to the sea, with a well-kept garden outside the hotel. The dining options are limited, especially for vegetarians, and the classic American dishes could be improved. Despite some downsides, the facilities are adequate for a comfortable stay.
