Tirreno Resort

Just returned from 10 days at Tirenno resort. Beautiful hotel and spotlessly clean everywhere. We were greeted by the lovely Eleanora at reception who spoke perfect English. She was really helpful throughout our stay as were her other 2 reception colleagues. We were in a bungalow looking out on impeccably kept gardens. Just gorgeous. Room was spacious and comfortable. The pool was outstanding. The best I’ve seen in 30 plus years of going abroad. Had a couple of great features.. bubble pool plus a fast moving jet circuit. Loved it. Ample sun beds. The beach was equally as clean. White sand and crystal clear water. Very busy and noisy on a morning but half emptied after lunchtime. Couple of nice beach bars on the the beach. We also dined at the Coralla Restaurant opposite the hotel. Wow. We ate mussels in tomato sauce (just get 1 to share between 2 people) and lobster languini. Both incredible. Fantastic waiter called Franco works there. He was fabulous at advice and made the evening more memorable. There are half a dozen other great bars and restaurants near the hotel. We booked a boat trip and hired a car from the helpful lady next to the reception. Both experiences were brilliant. Brandichini beach was gorgeous but incredibly busy. Need to pre book a spot. Sun bed hire was pricey at €45 for 2 beds and an umbrella. Food in the dining area was great. Good choices. Nice picnic provided for our boat trip. The only negative is this is not really a hotel for couples looking for a relaxing holiday which is what we wanted. It’s designed to be a hotel for familes, especially babies and toddlers who are quite noisy from morning till midnight. The entertainment goes on till after 11pm and there is a lot of noise till after midnight each night. ( We didn’t actually book this hotel - we were booked to go to Marina Beach, but they cancelled our hotel booking just before we were due to go and offered Tirenno as an alternative). That said, we loved our holiday and beautiful Sardinia and if we had young children, Tirrreno would be the perfect choice.

3/5 Great service and very friendly staff. The food was ok! Did not get all inclusive so only ate breakfast at the hotel. The rooms however need a facelift. The pressure from the shower was basically non so annoying to take a shower. Very uncomfortable bed and even worse pillow. You want more pillows you have to pay for it. Kind of annoying.

We were a family of 5 staying in 2 bungalow rooms that were connected, so felt as one big family suite. The rooms were nice, aircon and bathrooms were good and spacy enough. The resort itself is really nice, big, clean, and were perfect for our family. The pool is big, and it never felt as too many people around you. Tennis courts and basket court were nice, and our kids enjoyed both. The restaurant and food is amazing. The breakfast deserves its own review - it was simply worth 5 stars, and the entire staff at breakfast was amazing. Lunch and dinner were also good, and there was new dishes every day - and always something new to taste and try out. The staff is friendly, though many of them don't speak english (- and you will be mistaken as german even if you are from scandinavia...there were some other tourists from Switzerland and Austria while we were there, but 90% are italian families) and the resort is overall very italian and run by valtur (we missed out on some information there; one evening everyone were dressed in white, the next evening in black, but since we weren't a part of valtur we simply missed out on this). The beach and surrounding nature is amazing, and do make time for going there for watching a sunrise. It is so beautiful! Tirreno is an amazing resort and your kids will love it! The food is really good, and the rooms, pool, beach, etc have everything you will need. Perfect for a good family holiday.
