Smy Sighientu Thalasso & Spa Sardegna

There are some wonderful things about this hotel. The pool area is fantastic and very child friendly. My son loved the playground area and the little petting zoo. The beach access was good and we never struggled for sun loungers anywhere. The gym is good and has modern equipment and whenever we visited it wasn't over crowded. There are also some great restaurants a short drive away for those on B&B. The hotel is also a great distance from Cagliari and the airport. We also loved the eco friendly initiatives like the provision of water bottles and free water. Unfortunately though this hotel leaves a lot to be desired and my biggest complaint is with the staff. For a 4 star hotel, staff have got to be friendlier. Staff didn't speak to you unless you spoke to them, there were not enough staff in the restaurant which meant plates/bowls/cups ended up stacked on our table every day. The animation team sat around cross legged on counters on their phones and perhaps most concerning, more often than not the lifeguards sat together with their backs to the pool on their phones or chatting. More than one member or staff rolled their eyes at us. That being said, we found the front desk team to be really friendly and also the cleaning staff. The rooms need refreshing, the bathrooms are crowded and not big enough and our bedding didn't get changed for our whole stay despite being dirty. They did have great storage though. We were only bed and breakfast and to be honest I'm glad as we ate at the buffet once for dinner and found it to be severely lacking in choice. The food tasted good but I would be bored after more than a few days. The breakfast choice was the same every day. All in all, we had a pleasant stay at Sighientu and our family made some lovely memories there, there's just a lot of potential for it to be improved.

We had a lovely holiday in May in Sighientu resort. Very nice hotel, just 40 min drive away from Cagliari airport. The food was very good, every day was a different choice of food, very well cooked and full of flavour. Loved it. Big beautiful swimming pool, very clean and plenty of Sun beds. The sea is very clean with crystal clear water. Staff in the hotel was lovely and very helpful. The room could be decorate better, the walls were empty and lacking style. If you are going to stay in this hotel, I would highly recommend to hire the car as there is nothing outside of the hotel near by. You need the car to go anywhere - No bars, no restaurants, nowhere to walk to, just long streets of private villas. We had the car, so we could travel to other places. Enjoyed our stay!! :)
