Liscia Eldi Residence

I was sceptical about coming here because of the previous mixed reviews, but we had no problem at meal times as the food was frequently being replenished. The cleaners come daily to service the room to a good standard. So perhaps they have listened to the previous feedback. So I now will talk about our experience- the check in was slow and painful but apparently all the staff are brand new. We were given NO information about the hotel, the area or the facilities. Just hit with a bill for €84 for the tax, which we were not told about previously. They even charged us for the 2 children. Thank goodness the safe was free of charge. The room was tiny and tired. With mismatched furniture and a hair dryer that was from the 90’s which barely worked. However the air conditioning was great. When I first tried to have a shower there was no hot water. So this resulted in me getting dressed and walking all the way to reception to report the issue. Maintenance came out and did something and informed me that we would have to run the water for at least 5 minutes every time we wanted a shower before it would become warm due to us being at the end. This is ironic as there are signs saying that water is precious in Sardinia so do not waste it. That’s why they put the sprinklers on daily at 4am in the morning, which woke us all up as the water hits the patio area and door. We did complain about this and they adjusted it so it actually watered the grass, but then sounded like a running tape outside so it continued to wake us up. The final problem with the accommodation was that the toilet broke on our last evening, they never did come and fix it, this was not pleasant. The actual resort is nice with strong Wi-Fi everywhere, even in your room. It is a 20min walk into town or to the nearest shop, so they do cash in on this by charging you €3 for a bottle of water, €3.50 for a 330ml can of pop & €5 for a pre-packed sandwich. Unfortunately the pool is ruined by ridiculous strict rules, that are enforced by the life guards. Swimming caps must be worn at-all times. No diving or jumping (even though it’s 3metres deep ). No balls of any size, no inflatables or lilos. The children were upset as they can’t have any fun in the pool. The animation team are a lovely friendly group. Not their fault but the evening entertainment is poor. Starts too late for families with young children and it is exactly the same every night, with the same songs in the same order. This may improve when the stage area opens later on in the season. Sardinia is beautiful and so was the weather.

We returned from an eight-day stay at the hotel and we are very pleased. Very nice service both in the restaurant canteen and at the reception as well as the animation group. On the first day of our stay we were not entirely satisfied with the location of our room but after reporting this at the reception the very nice Nicolas made sure that the next day we had another room which turned out to be a bullseye. Beautiful surroundings of the hotel, very well-kept and lots of flowers. The nearest beautiful beach or local town is about 7 minutes by car. When it comes to food we are also very pleased. Tasty local dishes allowing you to get to know real Sardinian cuisine.

We had a really lovely stay here. The room was nice and clean and the food was great. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the facilities were good. A 20 minute walk into town and a free shuttle bus to La Cintra beach which was great. There are two negatives to this hotel: firstly, we had to pay €84 city tax on check in (which we had not been made aware of) so we were no overly impressed with this. We even had to pay the tax for the children. Secondly there are a number of restrictions around the use of the pool which really did take the fun out of it. You have to wear a swim cap and this is mandatory. Travelling with a self conscious teen meant he never once used the pool. You are also not allowed to jump in the pool, use inflatables, play games or use balls in or around the pool which meant it was empty more than it was used.

Overall I had a very nice stay. Was there with my 2 sons (12 & 18) for 1 week. The rooms were simple and quite small but very tidy and cleaned well every day. We had only breakfasts and dinners - breakfasts were everyday the same but quite nice. And with coffee made by barrista :-) Dinners were great, everyday something else with whole Dorada from grill, lobster halves, steaks, etc., nice desserts and wine from tap, etc. If possible I would now switch dinner for lunch, as its evening when most restaurants open. The location is good-but-not-great - the city center is about a 20 min walk which can be a long walk in the sun. Also the beach near the hotel is not nice so need to walk 20min to a different (but very nice) one. What is not ok is the necessity to wear caps in the pool (!), the pool is very deep (app. 4m in the deepest place, not able to reach the bottom in most places) and no balls/other inflatables allowed (probably because of depth).

This Resort is a joke for the price they are asking for . Rooms are too small and old , cleaning is very poor and doesn't happen unless you complain about it.Our bed linen was dirty already when we check in. Food is very limited, poor quality, no options for kids . Rooms are full of 🐜 🐜 🐜 , and they don't do anything about. I would definitely not recommend 😐 this place at all . Before you book think twice because this is a joke , the worse accomodation I ever experienced.
