After a week of airbnbing across Sardinia, I fancied a bit of ease and convenience for our last…read morenight, particularly as we had to get to the airport by 6am. This Doubletree is near the airport (well a 20 euro cab ride so not that bloody near) and looked to have a huge pool! Also they advertised free shuttle to the airport. Winning, right?! When we arrived, we couldn't check in till 3pm which I wasn't thrilled with as I thought for most hotels it was 2pm? We received a welcome chocolate chip cookie, which is a lovely touch. Then they told us they could arrange for a driver to the airport and it would cost 15 euro. Um, what happened to free? Total lie on their booking.com page, it would seem. The room was lovely and we couldn't be happier with it. We trotted down to the pool, which was as big as advertised with complimentary towels and loungers under cover. I had wanted to get drunk at the pool bar but 5 euro for a small can of beer is just way too much. So no drinks for me. The biggest downside I had with this place is the mosquitos. I got bitten 10 times lying by the pool for an hour and a half. Can't they get those mosquito repellers things? We went back to our room and I looked up the massage prices. Very reasonable for a 50 minute massage so we booked two. I appreciated the reception manager coming in and translating for us as she spoke no English. It was a decent massage for totally last minute booking and she was happy to do mine first and my boyfriend's straight after. However, she kinda short changed us on time and it was about 40 minutes each really. We then popped to the hotel bar (honestly, there is NOTHING near by, it's in the middle of a highway so you really can't leave unless you get a cab). I was very happy with the bar, we ordered drinks and got free snacks, including a little sandwich. Then off to the restaurant for dinner. This was a great experience and very reasonable. My boyfriend's steak was fantastic and the service was great. Really good caprese salad. Upon check out, we hit a bit of a bum note. I went to pay and there was confusion, he handed me the invoice and said 'all fine' so I asked if he charged it to my card and he said yes. Then as we went to leave, he called after me to pay. I thought they had the card? I gave them the card and the machine seemed to not work for such a long time that my boyfriend came back to check on me, so then they cancelled it and used a different handheld machine. And then he typed some of my card details into his screen. I don't like this, they should have no reason to need any of the details once they have charged it. It felt very suspicious. A bit of a hit and miss visit really.

Beautiful located hotel in the middle of nowhere. On the positive side…read more-service minded staff on the beach that serves you whatever you wish from a menu. - free canoes, sun bed and water bikes at the beach - beautiful rooms (although shower was dated) -nice and clean housekeeping - good breakfast (30eur pp) - free snacks to the cocktails (16eur) - 3 small deserts to the coffe (8eur) - toilets close to the first beach -the somilier and his wine suggestions - stunning surrounding and 2 nice beaches That being said this, it is not a place we would return to. We love food and were willing to pay for it as long as it's good. Sadly the food here is in general quite boring and expensive, during our stay we had lunch here once and dinner twice. The first evening we had "the culinary journey" it was supposed to be something extra according to the hotels description. We found the food served mediocre although the fish we had for main was well prepared and the wine served together with the dinner was good. The lunch was not worth the price, dinner the second day was probably best and we can recommend you to try the slow cooked veal and the chocolate fondant. In average the price level is quite high 4eur for a small water, 24eur for a boring pasta during lunch and Kellogg's k special for 6 eur in the mini bar. It gives you the impression your being ripped off and indeed you are... So why did we still choose to eat here, well the place is in the middle of nowhere, in order to get here you drive 6km along a narrow road and thereafter you need to drive around 10 min to bonifacio (beautiful city), it's simply to much of a hassle to leave. Further the wifi is unreliable and the hairdryer is really bad.

This hotel is just magical. It's very secluded and has the most amazing views of the beach, great…read morerestaurants, pool, and there is a private beach right on the sand for guests. Next time I come back to Corsica, I will definitely stay here. It's a bit pricey but totally worth it because there is no reason to run around because you have everything you could possibly want in a vacation right there.

Excellent breakfast on the top roof but nevertheless a nice sunset drinking a perfectly made…read morecocktail. Small but comfortable rooms. Parking close to the hotel.
