Sant'Elmo Beach Hotel

For the second year in a row, we chose Sant'Elmo Beach Hotel for our family vacation, and all I can say is that we will go there again next year! If you need hundreds of meals as part of an all-inclusive package, with everything from Asian to American to European cuisine, plus a sterile and impersonal environment, definitely don't come here. But if you're looking for a perfectly authentic place, with wonderfully friendly and helpful staff and a selection of dishes that offer the best of Sardinia, Sant'Elmo Beach is the place to be! Right in the hotel grounds, there's a beautiful pool, and unlike other destinations, it's available at any time of the day, complete with loungers and umbrellas. Forget about reserving loungers with towels at 6 AM, that's not necessary here. And the beach? After a short walk, you arrive at a beach with fine sand, crystal clear water, and loungers reserved just for you. Moreover, the service on the beach is fantastic. For us, Sant'Elmo Beach Hotel is the best destination for a summer vacation, and we are very much looking forward to next summer.

My family stayed here for 2 nights. Hotel is quite dated and basic, it might look bright and flowery from outside but the room in our bungalow was quite small and furniture definitely has seen better days. The pool is ok , enough sun loungers around. You can rent towels or bring your own. The beach is like 10 min walk through the field and unfortunately is covered in mountain of dry seaweed. There is a bar there so we only had a drink and went back. The food at the hotel was ok , not the big variety though. Staff in the dining room were very helpful and kind. Evening entertainment consisted of some live music and DJ after. There’s a kids evening entertainment too. Wi-fi in room isn’t working, very weak signal.

The beach is covered an algae. While the hotel does its best to remove the algae, they sit on a pile of 3-4m on the side. The remaining beach is entirely covered in algae.
