Spa Hotels & Resorts in Santo Stefano Island from NZ$292

"Great hotel right in front of the harbour where the ferries to/from Palau come and go every 20 mins or so. Staff was kind and helpful and our room was spotlessly clean and equipped with everything we needed. Many bars and restaurants nearby. Somewhat unlucky that a rare occurrence for Sardinia (intense rain in April) caused the breakfast room to be affected by water leaking from the top and a breakfast experience less pleasant than it could have been. Would suggest the hotel to accelerate remedial works asap so that it doesn't happen again."

"Booked this hotel with my brother to celebrate his engagement. Being a Marriott, we had solid expectations… which were quickly “adjusted.” First thing: they charge for everything. €10 just to get room service, and a note in the room basically warning that bringing in outside food could cost you up to €200. So yes, your Lidl sandwich might be a financial risk. We booked mainly for the pool (it’s the main photo). Got there in April, 24°C, ready to relax… only to be told it’s closed because it’s “not warm enough for the locals.” Apparently this happens a lot, the disclaimer is there, just buried at the bottom. Then the deposit: €50 per night, so €150 total. My brother got charged €400. Staff admitted it was a mistake, but the refund only came at the end of the stay, not ideal. Room phone was broken, but we did get a free upgrade after asking to move, which was probably the highlight. Other quirks: “free” gym you can’t use unless you’re a Delta member, and shared balconies where you can enjoy your drink alongside someone else’s TV. Breakfast was great. Dinner? €25 for a small pasta. Also odd for allergies: clear labeling at breakfast, but peanuts everywhere at dinner and €10 to remove ingredients. Overall: decent hotel trying to feel luxury, while charging you for breathing too enthusiastically. Would I stay again? Only if I skip the snacks, forget the pool, and watch my bank account closely."

"Bad position to the town, no comfort in room and bathroom, very poor breakfest. We had paid for 5 days, but left after one night and booked a good hotel i the towncenter. This hotel is not 4 stars - but one star. We feel cheated. "

"Room was not very nice, buffet was was ok but crazy, server was not very friendly, beach was nice. "

"Amazing hotel service was great "

"Very nice beach at the hotel and very friendly and helpful staff. There is not much around, so either have a car or be prepared for limited dining options. Breakfast is not worth the cost. "

"Beautiful part of Sardinia; the public beaches around are gorgeous and pristine; the staff at Aethos are really excellent; the restaurant is good. Sophisticated, great for couples and yet also child friendly without being overrun by children. "
