Such a beautiful place to stay. The staff were lovely! It was very clean and comfortable. I would suggest hiring a car as it’s quite remote although there is a beautiful beach in walking distance. Also the meals and drinks there are expensive (but delicious!). We definitely will come back!

Not the type of hotel for foreigners, not a good location for sight seeing. The hotel isn’t helpful with recommendations for things to do or what to see.

It was ok but having the staff asking if I could give them a haircut… after knowing I’m a hairdresser. Not good at all.

Perfect for a short sunny getaway
The hotel is tucked away in a beautiful little Sardinian cove about 25 minutes from Olbia Airport. You'll need a car if you want to do any excursions or day trips but for a short stay it's perfect to unwind by the pool or the sea. The restaurant serves top notch Italian pasta and risotto dishes and the bar very good local beers and wines. Definitely recommended for a 4-5 day stay.

The don't necessarily need a car.
An amazing stay, with very friendly staff who were courteous and efficient with our needs. Only bad things are - Dinner, you need to be there early or the appetisers will run low but it's a buffet style so there is always something available to eat. A lot of talk about this hotel secluded. It is BUT don't be fooled. You can simply walk to an amazing beach nearby. The terrain is fun as it's walking on rocks and through shallow water and beware of the wasp nest who have held these grounds for centuries but they nest in the ground so they are avoidable.

Staff are very unhelpful. We were in a room which had a drain in the courtyard it was dangerous and unsanitary and our bathroom had mould in the shower. Also cover charge is super expensive and food is average at best

Hotel Palambalza and the surrounding area.
Exquisite setting, lovely staff. Very professional, however a bit vague. Probably not their fault , my Italian is not exactly completely up o scratch.However the closest town / harbor is Porto Rotonno (2.5 miles away). This is the North East coast of Sardinia (Costa Smeralda). It's posh but not over the top. Stylish, but not South of France prices. It's still as expensive as central London so be prepared to spend plenty of cash!

Beautiful Sardinian Escape
Lucky last minute find online. Welcoming staff, friendly and accommodating. Just out of the way enough to encourage exploration of the area out and about. Definitely advise a hire car. Short walk along the coastline - literally on the shoreline - to a wide open beach with good facilities. Can swim in sea directly from hotel but will need shoes (rocky and sea urchins aplenty). Great boat hire facilities on site! Excellent breakfast. Good range of food. Lunch and evening meals a bit pricey, and much greater variety available in nearby Porto Rotondo, which is only 5-10min drive away. All in all an excellent stay.

Room with a view
Great location with a view over the bay from sunset till late afternoon, this is obviously more timeshare than hotel, but the breakfasts were great and the breakfast service very good and friendly. Facilities such as pool and private beach help with restaurant and boat trips on tap as required. Secluded private property well looked after meant for a relaxing 3 days before heading on to the last stop before the airport. Only blot on the landscape was the lack of blanket - yes was required at night, no glasses in the room and a fridge that needed a converter to be plugged in. No points to the housekeeping team on that lot. Would go back again, but would inventory the room before closing the door on entry.

hotel/area review
Very pretty location & beautiful clear sea. Not exactly a beach (30m at most) no local bars or shops or transport, a car is a MUST to see any of the area & hire is VERY expensive. Pool FREEZING,! No other facilities.

You definitely need a car.
There is no where to walk to so you need a car, no bus nearby and taxis come from Olbia so €50 to get to you then on to wherever. Taxi from airport €50 20 min journey, driver spoke English and have lots of advice. Hotel staff speak little English so this was a bit difficult. We had to eat at hotel as no transport and car hire v expensive so book before you go. Food very often just warm and cold on one occasion so was sent back. Lacked 'soul' a bit lack lustre really. Two nice little beaches but not like the ones you see in brochures but the ones on hotel website were accurate. Situated on a nice bay where numerous sail boats and cruisers would moor up so we would watch this as only thing going on but that was about the total of any excitement! I would only return if there was a car and or a bus service otherwise choose somewhere else.

Nice hotel for families
Very nice hotel with amazing views to the port and the beach and good amenities for families but far from everything and not great access to the beach. Not entertainment at nights for young people and going out will cost you 20€ just on the taxi. The restaurant was very good and the surroundings too. Staff were very friendly and helped with everything we needed

Relaxing stay away from main area
4* hotel in beautiful location though hard to get to and navigate from if you don't drive which I ddon't. airport transfer was 45€ in metered taxi (hotel transfer 50-55€). You can get coach transfers cheaper but need to be prebooked 2 days in advance (Hoppa) Great breakfast especially scrambled eggs and fresh juice Just managed to get wifi from room 1.204 (it's only in reception area) Most staff nice, some could be nicer. Small touch ups would have made it 5* rating all round Very good for price

Quiet Hotel with own beach
Quiet hotel, but we went at the end of the season. Grounds were very well maintained with daily attention. Staff on duty at the pool and beach present at all times. Reception staff could be a little off hand and spoke little English.

Pretty chilled out hotel. Car is a must
The hotel is in the hills above the town of Porto Retondo and is looked after very well with fabulous greenery. The facilities are basic but fine with a nice pool which is unfortunately salt water but there is also a private little beach which was great. Plenty of sun beds and even towels for the beach hich was a surprising treat. Good in the hotel was also very nice. Whilst I would recommend this hotel as a place to relax I mist emphasise that a car is needed as if you don't have one I don't know how gou would get around as I only saw one bus in nearly 10 days there. Whilst the town is only a 10 minute drive the walk would take at least 45 due to the hills.

Lovely getaway
My husband and I stayed at the Domina for our summer vacation. The hotel was lovely and had beautiful views of the sea. Because of its location you really need a car to get around to see other parts of the island and we would recommend hiring one. There are two restaurants but we mostly ate at one as the other was quite expensive. The staff were very helpful and did what they could to make sure we got a good service.

Great hotel quiet and peaceful retreat
This is a great hotel that is well worth the money. But don't be fooled by the Porto Rotondo location because it is ten minutes by car up a sharp hill and will cost you 20 euros each time. That's not a problem because the hotel is in a lovely secluded spot; but if you're expecting to spend the day / evenings in Porto Rotondo, that's more tricky...

Très bel emplacement pour ce resort, accroché a la coline, vue sur marinella. Etablissement bien entretenu, personnel attentionné. Les chambres ne sont pas très récentes en terme de deco, mais spacieuses. Ménage tous les jours et changement de serviettes etc... sauf demande contraire. Quelques points a ameliorer : insonorisation des chambres perfectible. Restaurant de l hotel bon, mais le snack est tres cher pour ce que c est. Ca reste anecdotique comparé à tous les points positif. Je recommanderai cet établissement à mes amis.

Déception !
Prestations pas à la hauteur du prix. Les chambres, certes typiques, mais dénuées de tout service (bar inexistant, matériaux sbd en mauvais état, serruerie défectueuse, chasse d'eau défectueuse, salle de sports en mauvais état, service restauration limité). Site exceptionnel mlagré tout. Personnel sympathique.

die Anlage selber ist sehr schön, wir haben aber das falsche Zimmer bekommen und das war nicht ok , wir hat einen Blick auf eine verschmutzte Terrasse. Wir hatten ein Zimmer mit Gartenblick gebucht, auf der anderen Seite der Anlage wurde nie gereinigt was uns sehr störte, da füllt man sich zweite Klasse. Und von WLAN möchte ich gar nicht reden überhaupt nicht vorhanden bei unserem Zimmer, nur beim Frühstück aber wer braucht ein WLAN beim Essen. Aber grundsätzlich ein schönes Hotel.

Sehr schöne Anlage ! Umgebung sehr gepflegt ! Zimmer sind den Anforderungen entsprechend....genügen alleweil. Anlage sehr abgelegen.... bestens wenn man die Ruhe liebt. Wenn man mit dem Flugzeug anreist braucht man ein Taxi. Wird mit der Zeit sehr teuer, wenn man Ausflüge macht. Flughafen Olbia zur Hotelanlage = 50 Euro. In der Hotelanlage hat mich gestört, dass man wirklich für alles bezahlen muss..... selbst wenn man Kaffeetassen oder Weingläser auf's Zimmer nehmen will ! Frechheit !
