Costa Serena Vacations from ￥311,978

Hotel comfortable but very basic, no proper reception, no lobby, no bar. A bit boring. Breakfast poor. Location out of town but close to the nice beach. rooms nice and great bungalow set up.

Absolutely beautiful hotel and the staff are so friendly and warm. Particular thanks to Alessio who helped us speak to the airport when our bags had been lost and Barbara and Damiano in the restaurant were so lovely and helped us learn some more Italian. The rooms are big, very clean, so cool and comfortable. The staff were fantastic and the food great. Buffet breakfast was fab, as was the buffet dinner. Lunch is a la carte and kind of expensive for lunch but Sardinia is quite expensive, so it’s all relative. There is a path from the hotel to the beach which is beautiful and some sun loungers and parasols reserved for Hotel Marana (you just need tickets from reception) there are some nice beach bars but seem to only open in the day. There is a restaurant open in the evenings, Marinella, which is beautiful but very expensive. We were about to order the lobster tagliatelle which said €35 on the menu, but it was €35 per 100g and weighed 800g so it would have been €280 each for a plate of pasta which is a bit out of budget, ha! The cheapest bottle on the wine list is €70, lovely, but just be aware! The hotel is peaceful and the other guests were all really nice and polite and considerate. Taxis are limited and so expensive. You can walk to Punta Marana to eat but other than that need a taxi or the train from opposite the hotel but they stop at 6.30pm. Visit Porto Rotondo. It’s fabulous.

Staff were very sweet. Room was clean. Balcony was great. Didn’t get to try the spa. The breakfast was very good, with an amazing view. Overall loved my experience. I wish there was an AC in the room

Staff really helpful, especially the reception staff. Breakfast and dinner very good. Clean room, struggled with electrics in room and coffee machine.

Close to the airport. Perfect with children
