Hotele niedaleko Palmasera Beach, Dorgali

We were in a group of 125 dancers and I think most people had a wonderful time in this resort. There were some issues, however, the accommodation was good, the dance venue was excellent, the swimming pool large and clean, the food was reasonable and the restaurant had loads of choices - albeit fewer for people who have specific dietary requirements, but there was meat, fish, pizza, pasta/rice in many versions and sauces (and pasta also for celiac people on request) many different type of starters and salad. In general, there was a good variety of food available daily. Breakfast included yogurt, sausages, bacon, eggs, cereals, fruit, cheese and cold meats, cakes and pastries, then typical breakfast drinks including cappuccino, coffee, latte, macchiato, chocs etcetera – although if you arrived late for breakfast, it made a difference as to which of these items were available. However, for those who got up from bed very late and missed breakfast, the resort provided “L’angolo del Dormiglione” or “Sleepy Head Corner” located in front of the bar area and featuring a small selection of breakfast items, which I thought it was an excellent customer service idea that I never experienced anywhere else before. Breakfast was repetitive, but then that is the nature of breakfast. Yes, they ran out of butter and some other foods at times, and also wine, but eventually these were replaced. Canned beer was given out freely and some other hotel guests outside our group went for it, and so the resort introduced restrictions. However, the event organiser bought several crates of beer (and also got some from the resort) all these were taken to the area of the restaurant reserved for us and these were available freely to us all. It was the end of the season and probably the staff was tired and looking forward to going home, and, whilst service with smile is always a welcome bonus, in the end I believe that most people enjoyed dancing in a fantastic venue overlooking the bay and the nearby village during a week of uninterrupted sunshine with easy access to the nearby beach (on foot and/or via the little free tourist train that runs regularly throughout the day for guests, between the resort and the beach) with free parasol and deck chairs. All in all, this was a great and affordable event in a lovely venue, and whilst it cannot be denied that there were some issues, I feel that there were also many positive aspects that also need to be considered.

Stayed for three nights in one of the cottages near the art shop. Our room was spacious, well equipped and even had an outdoor bath in our little garden.The decor was tastefully Sardinian and had coffee and tea facilities. We ate all three nights in the hotel, the first night in the “Bread Nest” where our tasting menu was prepared and cooked by two ladies using a wood fired oven. All courses had a bread base and were delicious. We ate in the main restaurant the second night and had the amazing suckling pig. On our last night we tried the vegetarian tasting menu sat in the vegetable garden. During both tasting menu nights the food just kept coming and a carafe of wine and bottles of water were included. All of our meals were very good value for money. Breakfast was ample with plenty of choice. The pool area was very pleasant to relax in and has a bar area close by. The Magico Tablao bar was very stylish, had a great atmosphere and served amazing cocktails and also three different excellent craft beers ( bottled). All staff were friendly helpful and professional. It is worth just wandering around the hotel to see all the different areas where works of art have been tastefully placed. We could find no fault with hotel at all and would thoroughly recommend it.

Positive points : ＞ Good location, in the centre. ＞ Personnel gentleness ＞ Small lunch Negative points : ＞ Older room ＞ Room ”super with sea view”: see the photo for ”sea view”. With the term ”super” it is not all appropriate. The room was very small, with defecting equipment (one lamp worked). One seat when we were two, no table. We asked for it, but it was never provided. The balcony was more than rich, and we were so close to the street that all the passants had seen the room... ＞ TV: ridiculously small (small than a computer screen). ＞ quiet: room on the street. In addition, we were unquestionably awakened by household women who do not care about the rest of the guests and are discussing heavyly behind the door (when they don't come hit to ask us to let them do the room as soon as 8 a.m.).

The hotel is well located, very beautiful and clean. the staff is very friendly and always ready to help. The room is simple, without fridge, but the bedrooms are comfortable. The restaurant is amazing, with very fresh and traditional food. During the summer there is also the possibility to eat in the garden. I really enjoyed the staying.
