Location Hotel size (not too big) Authenticity Service

You have to pay for beach beds

The landscaping and gardens around this hotel are beautiful and very well maintained, with an extraordinary amount of colour, really lovely. Very pleasant smallish beach a very short walk away (although you have to pay extra for the parasol and beds, €40 for 2 people when we went). A good beach restaurant. Excellent pool at the hotel which is big enough for lengths with a nice pool bar which serves lunch too. Our room was a good size, not big but not cramped with a terrace over-looking a lush part of the gardens and a good sized shower room and plenty of cupboard space (although no long hanging space!). Really nice staff. My husband was delighted that there was a gym which he had to himself mostly. The area around the hotel is stunning. We didn't rent a car, but Porto Cervo village and marina are walkable (about 20 minutes) where there are supermarkets, shops and restaurants (even a pub in the marina) and there are two excellent restaurants about 10/12 minutes walk away.

The coffee with the breakfast is terrible. How do Italians accept it? You can order coffee from the bar, but it's still not great. The coffee at the beach restaurant is okay. Room maintenance should be tightened up. The safe and air conditioning units in our room needed to be changed. Once we pointed it out it was quickly sorted out though. The shower pressure could be better, but our friends' shower was okay so varies from block to block. I found the bed too hard and when we arrived all the mattress toppers were already allocated so I had to wait 5 nights which wasn't great. Beware the vans for more than 2 people that pick you up from the airport if you are easily car sick. The journey is only about 35 minutes, but it is twisty and our friends had a bad start to their holiday!

Overall the staff were very nice, especially the pool bar staff and the cleaning staff. The hotel had a beautiful pool area with incredible views over the beach and was less than 5 minutes drive to Porto Cervo

No coffee/ kettle in the room and if you are checking out before breakfast, no coffee anywhere in the hotel! The receptionist was eventually kind enough to make me a cup of coffee before I headed to the airport at 5 am, but a four star hotel should not have a guest begging for coffee before driving in the dark to the airport. Also, the rooms are quite humid, yes it was raining and stormy, but the insulation in the rooms was very poor. The pool bar only services salads for lunch and the closest restaurant is 1km away and the closest supermarket 6 kms - so it was challenging with a child.

The location of the hotel is excellent with views of the sea from the rooms and pool. Secondly, the hotel staff were really friendly and helpful. They always went out of their way to offer a premium service above and beyond expectations. At breakfast time, the staff were friendly and greeting all guests. The pool was a great size and was perfect for relaxing. The beach was only 2 minutes walk from the hotel. Porto Cervo centre and harbour are only 1km walk away. Two staff members that made our stay extra pleasant were Luca, the Pool bar waiter and Alberto the Lifeguard. Thanks for a great week at Grand Hotel in Porto Cervo.

At night time, there was too much sound coming through the walls of the bedroom. In the evening time, there was only a buffet for evening meals. It would have been good to have a food menu. Pool bar prices were a little expensive, especially for bottled water because the tap water is not safe to drink. Due to poor public transport options in this region of Sardinia, the only way to travel is via taxi and these are really expensive. 90-120EUR one way to/from Oblia airport and in the local area 35EUR for a 2km ride to a local restaurant. Rental car is highly recommended.

So beautifully quiet set in a picturesque spot. Pool and facilities excellent. Breakfast excellent.

The aircon in our room wasn’t working and although the hotel tried to fix it, we had no aircon during our stay.

The breakfast was excellent, and varied, a tiny beach very close to the hotel, one large swimming pool and two small with bars and restaurants. Very quiet surroundings and from our room/ terrace with comfortable sunbeds you can admire the sunrise.

Nothing to say.

Has big swimming pool with plenty of sun lounges and quite pool area. Hotel has lovely areas with pine shadows close to the pool and splendid view to the sea from the hill. Close to the small but lovely beach.

Wifi could work better in some areas.

Hotel has a nice location only 2 minutes away from the beach by walking. I really liked the beach. It is big enough and and it is not stones in the water but sand. Nice breakfast and very close to town center.

everything was good. expect, when I do checkout I had to wait a some time although checkout should be super fast. therefore, I recommend stuff to take this part also very seriously.

Lovely quaint style, comfortable beds, fantastic swimming pool. Nice beach. Staff helpful

Furniture needs updating in the rooms, rooms need modernising. Restaurant food in the evening bad and really not worth the price. Location is a little outside so really need a car.

Very good breakfast, and the pool area is wonderful, with nice sun beds, perfect for a relaxing day.

The gym should be better equipped, at least a full set of dumbbells would make it nicer.
