8/10 Good
"Good: Overall great stay. Staff was great. Food and drinks are adequate for the all inclusive price. Location is both near a beach and a bus stop. Bad: We had some water dripping from the ceiling in the corridor and in the toilet of our room, likely due to condensation from the AC, which was negative but didn't hinder us too much. The hotel also experienced several power outages every day of our stay, but power was out for just a couple of seconds each time (didn't affect us except for the power strip that had to be manually turned on again since it defaults to off every time). The beach nearby the hotel was not great, but during summer there's a bus service that can take you to other beaches nearby. The pool closes too early, at 6pm, so we had limited entertainment options during the early evening. Conclusion: I would stay here again."

Hotel Pedra Santa

8/10 Good
"Overall, we had a lovely stay at Pedra Santa. Its biggest advantage is definitely the location—it’s excellent and makes it easy to explore Costa Smeralda. Sardinia is absolutely stunning, and with gorgeous weather every day, it was hard not to enjoy ourselves. The hotel restaurant is very good, with delicious food and an amazing sunset view that made dinner feel extra special. The staff was friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. There were, however, a few areas that could be improved. On the evening we were getting ready to go to Phi Beach, we asked for an iron. Surprisingly, the staff couldn’t find one anywhere on the property. At first, I was told they only had one, then another staff member said they had several, but they were all “missing.” It was frustrating, especially when trying to get ready for dinner. I also sent two emails before our arrival with a simple request, but never received a reply. In those emails, I mentioned that I’m a travel content creator and kindly asked if it would be possible to have a room with some sort of view, as I planned to feature the hotel on my social media. Unfortunately, we were assigned a room overlooking nothing but bushes. That said, these issues didn’t have a major impact on our overall trip. Sardinia is an incredible destination, the hotel’s location is fantastic, and we still had a wonderful vacation. With a little more attention to guest communication and consistency in service, this hotel could easily provide an even be"

What is the best area to stay in Porto Istana?

The area is quite compact, with accommodation options, a few restaurants, and beach services all within a short walk of the coastline. You'll find a mix of villas, holiday homes, and a couple of hotels tucked away just behind the main beach access points.This area is particularly good for families due to the nature of the beach. The water is incredibly calm and shallow for a considerable distance, making it ideal for children to play in. There are also facilities for renting sun loungers and parasols, and often paddle boats or kayaks, providing easy entertainment right on your doorstep.Couples looking for a relaxing beach holiday will also appreciate Porto Istana. It offers a tranquil escape with stunning scenery and convenient access to the beach.
