Our largely elderly group were travelling on as many of Sardinia's railways as possible, so the train schedules to Nuoro meant our hired road coach was unable to arrive at the resort until 2030 hours mid evening. The taller, younger girl at reception claimed she did not know where each room was. Nor did she have paper maps to distribute. Clueless! The result was a lengthy wait for a buggy, whose driver was far more helpful. My room 4 and the tour leader's room 8 were just behind reception! The resort is isolated. On arrival we had to walk down a fairly steep hill for about 300 metres with our suitcases as reception lacked room for a coach to reverse. There are no nearby restaurants apart from the hotel's overpriced one, yet the bar offers an extremely limited menu. The ham and cheese ciabattas were nice but one soon tires of the same item. The main swimming pool was excellent, although the water was cold, but the beach had rather rough sand, way below the standard of pure white sand beaches in Philippines to which I am used. Waiters at the pool bar were pleasant. My room bed was comfortable with bedside tables. The curtains blocked most light. Locking the room from outside employed a convoluted system. The shower included a rainhead and like the WiFi, never failed. The wardrobe had a safety deposit box and generously sized minibar. Tgere was a long, backless upholstered seat. Shampoo, soap and so called intimate body wash were all in large bottles. Towels were good. The breakfast was excellent with a huge selection, manned by staff whose level of English fluency greatly varied. If countries like Philippines, especially, and Thailand can do this correctly, why can't Italian hotels? Like it or not, English is the global standard. There is a well maintained tennis court and a soccer pitch, plus a billiard fable.
