Hotel Marinedda Thalasso & Spa

We had a fantastic holiday. The hotel and facilities were great. The staff all very attentive and friendly. The food in the evening was amazing variety every night and beautifully presented. We could not fault anything or anyone. We will be returning next year as this vacation topped anywhere we have stayed elsewhere in Europe.

One week at La Marinedda was a truly heavenly experience. Not only is the hotel clean, spacious and comfortable, with a great spa and private beach. Its major selling point, in my opinion, is its staff - everyone, from reception to wait staff, from managers to drivers, works towards a common goal of looking after guests and treating them with kind loving care. A lovely experience that I would gladly repeat!

Quite resort but 5 star very very good loved every second. Transfer 1.5hours from airport but would still go back. Staff fantastic, food fantastic and rooms top quality although the bed was slightly too hard for me. Cleanliness out of this world and kids club went out of their way to play football every day with my son even though he was the only one there.

This was our second visit to this fabulous hotel after the first trip in May 2023 was slightly impacted by the heavy thunderstorms that effected the region at the time. We decided to come back and give May Half Term in Sardinia another go largely because of this hotel. It is hard to succinctly describe what makes this hotel such a great experience. In no particular order: The staff are amazing. Nothing is too much trouble and they are all super helpful, friendly and welcoming. It was nice that some of the staff remembered us from last year and we received lots of friendly handshakes when we told them we were leaving. The food is really good. As we traveled with an 11 year old we limited ourselves to the buffet dinner (as opposed to the Al la carte restaurant) as it was easier to manage. The food is created to a high quality and has good enough variety to keep you interested for the week. The buffet style works well because you can have as little or as much as you want. The buffet breakfast is also legendary in our household for its variety and (for our son) its selection of sweet breakfast options! One tip for breakfast is to order a cappuccino and then keep topping it up from the urn of Americano coffee. The milk does a great job of offsetting the strong coffee and it is quicker than asking for fresh cappuccinos to be made. The facilities overall are high quality. There is a private beach bar for lunch and drinks where you can also hire an umbrella. One slightly confusing thing was the umbrellas were an additional charge but it wasn’t until day 3 we discovered that there is a ‘free zone’ within the hotel’s private beach area. It might have been weather related but it wasn’t clear at all. So make sure you ask if there is a free zone on any given day. The main pool has a lifeguard and was kept very clean. There is also a free gym with a reasonable selection of equipment. A nice addition was the musical entertainment in the evenings. A great way to end the evening watching the sunset whilst having a nightcap. We had a sea view Jr suite room (room 364). It was ample size for 3, had comfortable beds, was close to the facilities and had a lovely view of the bay. The room (and the hotel generally) was very clean and in good order. A hire car is highly recommended so you can explore the local area if the weather isn’t beach or pool friendly. There is ample free parking at the hotel. Castelsardo and Aggius are well worth a visit. Isola Rossa is 5 mins in the car (or 15 on foot) and has the basics such as beach gear shops, pharmacy, small supermarket and a lovely gelateria/cafe. We are now in the process of deciding if we go back in May 2025. We’d like to explore alternative options but Hotel Marinedda sets a very high bar and we don’t want to be disappointed by going somewhere else not quite so good! We may very well be back next year!

This resort offers a stunning setting, luxurious accommodations, and top-tier spa treatments (I had the best manicure of my life here). A perfect spot for relaxation, with exceptional staff, food and service and breathtaking views of the Mediterranean.

Excellent room, facilities and lovely, friendly staff. The Hotel is located in a quiet bay with a safe, sandy beach. There was an extensive breakfast and evening buffet available which was very good quality and there was plenty to eat! However, some aspects of the food at the hotel did not meet a 5 star standard. e.g. the main (2nd) course at the table restaurant did not always meet expectations (small portions and food sometimes not hot). The staff did respond when this was pointed out, but for a 5 star rating these basics need to sorted. The Beach bar had a limited lunch menu and some items were not good value e.g. a salad for 20 euros with no fries, potatoes or chips included. The staff at the Beach bar were fantastic and really looked after us well. Overall, a very good place to stay in Northern Sardinia if you are looking for a quiet resort in beautiful surroundings.
