Gabbiano Azzurro Hotel & Suites

I have nothing bad to say about this incredible hotel. Location is perfect - 20min from airport and walkable to restaurants / harbour. Short drive to local towns, and other beaches, however we found this hotel beach and sea the best in this area of Sardinia ! The service was excellent with such happy generous staff, breakfast buffet was incredible with so many options for all, and the facilities and restaurant were absolutely beautiful. Not to mention the amazing rooms with the best views of the sea front. We stayed in the rooftop pool room, with our own private pool overlooking the sea, I couldn't fault anything, such a special family run hotel.

We booked the Pool Suite (with a private pool) for over 6K EUR for 5 nights. NO WHERE did it mention the pool was NOT heated and unusable as it was too cold. The only reason we chose this hotel/room was for the private pool as my husband had hip replacement surgery earlier this year and not mobile to go to the beach. I went to to breakfast buffet at 10:15 (breakfast ends at 10:30) - the food was quite sparse. I had to ASK for eggs. If you spend that much money at a hotel, you shouldn't have to ask for ANYTHING. Pathetic service. We checked out 1 night early -- it has been OVER 4 days and the hotel STILL owes us over 1000 EUR. eMails are not answered. I have filed a complaint with our Credit Card company so they can manage it. We travel all over the world and this BY FAR has been one of the WORST hotel experiences in a LONG time.

This is an impeccably maintained, expertly curated, stellar property. Picturesque location is even more impressive than photos. Beautiful inside and out, white washed rooms, appealing views and architecture. Visible attention to detail, lots of staff on hand. Perfect air conditioning, clean towels daily and a courtesy housekeeping “pass by” to offer more towels in the evening. Always 3 rolls of toilet paper in bathroom! It seemed to us that every member of the staff was intent on assuring the best experience. Ample breakfast buffet included, lovely pool on property and access to private beach which is stunning. We visited in August and the beach was quiet, water warm, blue sky every day. Very relaxing; recommend and plan to return.

Stayed here with family for 5 days and overall it was very pleasant here are my thoughts: Positives: 1) Great arrival, the staff were super kind and offered to take bags 2) Great airconditioning. It is very affective 3) Very clean and the room service is super kind 4) Barely any bugs and pretty dust free 5) Beach and pool area not too crowded and very spacious 6) Wheel Chair accesable 7) Very careful and considerate about allergies 8) Not crowded at all Negatives: 1) Suite is way too small. I dread to think what a normal room must look like 2) Wifi is terrible. It disconnects every 20 minutes. I have read that in other reviews it is to do with the building but they really need to do something about it as for a "4 star" hotel it is ABSURD 3) If you were to use an adaptor on top of your plug, when placing it in the socket in the wall it turns off the light switch which is an annoying design flaw 4) Room is super outdated for the very expensive price. It really needs redoing 5) For the price you pay, you barely get anything worth it other than housekeeping and beach access 6) Breakfast needs a much better buffet as there is barely any selection and a menu is much needed to order freshly cooked items from the kitchen 7) Gym is awful. It is way too small and only has 3 machines 8) Resturant SUPER overpriced. It is €20 for a simple pasta dish which is completely absurd baring in mind everywhere else it is about €15 9) At the beach, it is €4 for an ice cream from a packet which is crazy as everywhere else it is €2.50 10) Staff can be a hit or miss. Some are super nice where as others are rude 11) Very understaffed. Staff are under too much pressure especially at breakfast My main tips: 1) Do not eat in the hotel eat out for dinner. It is much cheaper 2) Only stay here for the beach not the luxury of the hotel because you will be super dissapointed
