We stayed at the hotel in September this year. I want to share my impression.
1. The road is tiring, because after a 4-hour flight, it takes 2.5 hours to get to the hotel by bus. We knew about this in advance, and it did not come as a surprise to us.
2. The territory of the hotel is huge, or rather, there are 5 (or 6) hotels. A lot of greenery. Among the trees, eucalyptus predominates, and therefore the air is wonderful there! Since the hotel is located in a mountainous area, there are continuous ups and downs, stairs and ladders on the territory. Were satisfied.

3. The sea is amazing in its beauty! The beach is very unique. More precisely, there are several sections on the shore where sun loungers are located. The coast is indented with coves and in these coves there are mini beaches. There are no locker rooms or showers. This is on one site, near the beach bar. The entrance to the sea is sandy, and then - stones. Nearby there is a sandy Orri beach, it's very good there! Orry can be reached by boat (book at reception) or by city bus, which leaves from the hotel entrance. Unfortunately, we managed to ride it only twice, and then the bus was canceled without informing the vacationers about it. People came to the stop for two days until they clarified at the reception. True, there are no changing rooms and toilets on Orry either. We saw some booth closed with a padlock. We suspect that these are the toilet, but paid.
Beach towels are given at the reception for a deposit of 10 euros. If you want to change, pay.
4. On the way from the airport to the hotel, we were praised by the animation team. We are not happy with them. Evening shows were, but mediocre. There was an announcement that every day of the week there was a tournament in some kind of sport (table tennis, football, volleyball, etc. ). At first we thought that the tournament was a competition, but it turned out that you can just play it once a week. For the first time we saw that the BEACH volleyball court is located on the highest point of the hotel. True, the sand there was normal. But only those who really want it can find a site.
Yes, once they saw how women do yoga in a place where people walk (between the pool and the area on which there are tables with chairs). So vacationers simply stepped over those involved. To be honest, it looked crazy.
5. We took two excursions: to Cagliari (the capital of Sardinia) and "Dinner at the Shepherd's". We drove to Cagliari for 2.5 hours one way. People go there mainly for shopping. During the siesta hours, we were taken around the city, learned something about Sardinia.
The second tour was better. We were shown 2 towns located in the mountains. The places are very beautiful. And then there was dinner at the shepherd's house with homemade wine.
6. Meals - "ultra all inclusive", but it seemed to us that this is very far from the truth. Plain water could only be taken for bottling. It wasn't in the bottles. But the Russian people showed ingenuity here too: they poured it into bottles from a container standing in a restaurant.

The restaurant (where we ate) is large in area, and the food is repeated in a circle the same. The meat was tasty (but not always), the fish was so-so. I liked the pasta with various additives, very tasty bread. We did not regret that we took "all inclusive", because during the siesta hours (from one in the afternoon to four or five hours) everything is closed. We went out a couple of times to the neighboring town of Arbatax, but did not see a single cafe or restaurant, although people wrote in the reviews that they were.
For children, there is a room with a microwave, a blender, but food is not provided. There were kids there, but not many.
7. Numbers of different categories. At first, we were given a standard (which we booked), in which one wall is two windows and a glass door between them. A meter from the door there is a road along which people walk and look into our windows. There is a clothes dryer at the entrance, but there is no table or chairs. The air conditioner was terribly loud. A fan was spinning over the bed. Yes, and one more feature: there are only two sockets in the room, which include a TV and a refrigerator. Everything! There are no outlets anywhere else. To charge tablets, phones, I had to turn everything off. In general, we did not like the room at all. The next day I managed to change it to another one with a surcharge. It was already better there: the air-conditioning was decent, and the canopy at the entrance protected from the sun and rain, and there were chairs. There are also two sockets, but at least there was a tee.
Cleaned up in the room well. Everything was put on time: soap, shampoo, paper. True, once we returned from the beach, and the door to the room was open. Nothing valuable was missing, but they took a can of water from the refrigerator and one euro, which we left on the bed for the maid. Moreover, there was no cleaning in the room yet. There were no more such moments.
In general, the rest left a double impression. On the one hand, beautiful, new places that are always interesting to see. And on the other hand, moments that did not spoil the whole holiday, but spoiled the impression of the hotel. We won't go to this hotel for the second time.
