Spitze Hotel

Service ist top so wie die Kellner. Das Essen ist hervorragend. Getränke sind etwas teuer aber sehr lecker und qualitativ. Man sollte vor dem einchecken anrufen ob sie ein vom flughafen abholen. Kostet 115€. Mit Taxi 125 aber nur wenn ihr keinen Abzocker zum Opfer fällt. Mietet euch ein motorrad, der ausflug lohnt sich.

2nd time there and the same brilliant experience!

Despite Marinedda's size, they really manage to keep its high quality service. As photos show, the place is really beautiful. Photos from the reception bar are amazing, the beach and pool are nice and the food (now they have 4 restaurants) is really amazing! Hotel buffets are sometimes boring, but at Marinedda chefs are really creative. The A la carte restaurant and the one you pay 12,50EUR extra when you have HB are also great. Beach service is paid, but you can walk to the next beach which is also ok. I would definitely recommend visiting Costa Esmeralda and Archipelago Maddalena. Our second time and we had a lovely stay.

Tolles Hotel im Norden Sardiniens

Wir waren zwei Tage im Marrinedda bei unserer Sardinienrundreise. Ein Highlight ! Ausstattung im Sardischen Stil, grosse komfortable Zimmer, Blick uebers Meer, ausgezeichnetes Essen. Weinservice aber langsam und wenig hilfreich bei der Auswahl, die Weinpreise dafuer etwas hoch.

Wunderschönes Hotel direkt am Meer

Wir waren eine Woche im Hotel und hatten einen tollen Urlaub. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich, die Zimmer komfortabel, das Essen schmeckt und die Anlage liegt schön, fast direkt am Meer, ein Weg führt zum Strand. Einziges Manko: der Föhn im Zimmer ist zu schwach, würde ich nächstes Mal einen mitnehmen! Ein Tipp: auf jeden Fall Mietwagen nehmen, da Hotel doch eher abgelegen, außerdem gibt es viele schöne Orte zu entdecken.

Für Strandurlauber

schönes Hotel in recht einsamer Lage. Drum herum gibt es ausser der in Hotelnähe liegenden Bucht, die allerdings sehr schön ist, nicht viel zu sehen. Der Service ist jederzeit freundlich und zuverlässig. Das Essen ist sehr gut. Wermutstropfen war für uns die Lage des Hotels und das WiFi nur in der Hotellobby zur Verfügung.stand.

Gutes Apartmenthotel, aber kein Sardinienurlaub

Keine Frage - eine schicke Anlage, wunderschöne Lage, freundliches Personal, tolles Essen. Nur - für unseren Geschmack passt so eine Anlage eben nicht nach Sardinien. Das Konzept entspricht einer All-Inclusive-Rundrumsorglos-Anlage, wie man sie z. B. haufenweise in der Karibik oder der Türkei findet - da dann aber eben auch All-Inclusive. Hier wird jedoch für alles Mögliche zusätzlich abkassiert, da wird schon das im Preis enthaltene Abendessen recht teuer, da die Getränkepreise der Sterneklasse entsprechen. Fazit - sowas gern mal zum Winterverkürzen, Sardinien erleben wir zukünftig aber wieder anders...

Reasonable Hotel

We stayed here for 12 nights as part of our honeymoon. They didn't really make an effort to help us celebrate our honeymoon or acknowledge it (We had email dialogue with hotel in advance), unlike some other hotels that we stayed at on our trip. To be fair to them they did offer some half days in the spa which we didn't take up due to being disappointed with the spa, the general quality and what we felt was restricted opening times (9 to 1 & 3 to 8 - same for gym). On arrival they allocated room 502, which was very dark and the bedroom has one very small window and simply wasn't acceptable for the amount of money that we had paid. The hotel was good about sorting it out but I still had to pay an upgrade to a room which was far superior (including seaview) which we felt should of been the minimum standard for the amount of money that we paid. Everything was extra at the hotel including the use of the basic spa, the gym (no weights, no AC and no Fans), the sunbeds on the beach. On the positive side, we generally felt that the dinner was good, with fantastic service from the majority of the staff, the location was very close to the beach and quiet. The location was a positive and a negative, good if you want to sit on the beach / by the pool and do nothing all day and evening but not great if you want to something more to do. In general it is a good hotel but very expensive when compared to other locations in Europe

Looks value for money, but lots of extras to pay

I was disappointed with this hotel. Although it advertises its SPA facilities, you can only use the internal pools and gym for an extra 30 euro per person for each half day. The hotel's beach chairs also have to be paid for. Another dissapointment was the fact that you can't have two hot showers in a row, as the boiler is too small. No internet except in reception and you have to get a code to renew every 30 minutes.
