Arbatax Park Resort - Dune

We liked our room and many of the amenities, but we wanted to try different restaurants and beaches on the island. The Dune desk staff were not happy about that choice and did not make it easy for us.

DON'T TRUST THE WEBSITE AND PICTURES ADDED TO. REALITY IS A BIT DIFFERENT. 1650 £ - 13 nights B&B PROS. 1. Because of Sardinia. 2. BARBARA and other staff, amazing, polite and kind people with a lot of patience, with the target to make you happy with everything. 3. Idea of the resort regarding localisation and solution of accommodation. 4. Lot of greenery and space for walk, close contact to the nature. 5. Swimming pools - a few to choice, accessible anytime but not all of them in the cheapest option than suite or village. CONS. TERRAIN - huge complex, where everywhere is far and the most terrible up or down steep and very steep hills, or steep stairs. Definitely not for the people with difficulties to walk, or spinal problems. BEDROOM  - is not a typical hotel, this is a group of the separately small houses, where the time of glory gone. Just refreshing by one coat of the paint is not enough, - AC - very noisy inside the bedroom, - no kettle and cups in the room, what should be as a standard, - beds and mattresses - average quality, - furniture - no bedsides, one timber chair (in the classic 2-bed room) - built in the wall wardrobe - smell a little bit damp, - small dresser - 4 draws and small fridge. BATHROOM - nice design, but finishing not too clever, especially regarding wet room. Using not grouted and filled travertine stone tiles (which is a extremely porous) as finish for the wall and floor in the wet area bringing a very good environment to grown up every known damp and high risk of tinea. Definitely shouldn't be found in that type of the accommodations. FOOD - fortunately we book just B&B, we expect on the breakfast to find local food, mixed with continental, but hospitality disapointed us completely. The worst came today, managing team to save the money (what is understable) squeeze the rest of the visitors to one dining room, where the service was completely not ready to accomodate this amount of the guest. Tables - not cleaned and prepared on time (we waited 20min for someone to clean the table, no one came, in that case the cutlers, table dress we took byself, there was no one who walk around with the cloth to clean the table between the guests), most of the dish cold (panchetta cold, fried mushrooms taken directly from the fridge, lack of scrambled eggs, lack of tomatos, sausage cold and very dry, queue for bakery), completely chaos, huge queue for coffee. BEACHES - unfortunately part of the beaches without directly access to the sea, very "clever" prepared pictures on the website. Few beaches about a not big area and narrow (in compare to other Sardinian beaches) access to the water. If you rent a car, it is easy to find a lot of bigger and beautiful beaches near the Arbatax Park Resort. SURROUNDINGS AREA TORTOLI - small city with a lot of shops including a few top brands, with lovely restaurants and coffe shops. Definitely worth to visit. Our opinion, after terrible beginning, (when Barbara save our holidays)

We had the most amazing experience at Dune Resort. We enjoyed the private beaches, pools, entertainment, kayaking and delicious restaurants. The animals and secret garden were a plus! loved it and will definitely recommend to family and friends!

Very nice place with a lot of activities and beach. Very well located and fantastic weather! There are a several restaurants and bars around the resort. A lot of sport activities and water sports. You will have a lot of miles to run in the resort!
