Hotel Resort & Spa Baia Caddinas

The hotel is beautiful and basically right on the beach. The review should be a 10/10 but there are too many things to improve. Here are my suggestions; - Renovate the old rooms, the drain smells in the rooms - Teach the staff English - Better variety in the breakfast - Every day, have “Happy hour” in the bar, “1 hour a day half price” could possibly increase your sale with 200% in the bar. Right now it’s extremely overpriced. - Build your own mini market next to the hotel or in the hotel. Right now it’s too far away in the hills. - Have dance shows or other singers not only the male singer every night. - Stabilize your WiFi because now it basically didn’t work at all. - Include a’la carte menu in the restaurant. Not only a buffet for 45 euro /person.

We stayed in a 1 bedroom family room on the 2nd floor (room 450) which was cozy for 4 of us but fine. Our balcony was really spacious and our view was stunning! The resort really had a lot of facilities and breakfast is definitely worth paying extra for. We also parked the car in the hotels parking for €15 per day but off season you can easily park on the street behind the resort. There’s a shop about 800 m away, however this is shut on Sundays so if you’re arriving on a Saturday night like us, be warned. There are a few smaller supermarkets in the centre of Golf Aranci but only open in the morning on Sunday. All in all, we really enjoyed our stay. The location is stunning and it’s a convenient base to travel around the Costa Smeralda!

We had a garden room, I bed with one separate bedroom, sofa bed in the main room. It is based on four circular rooms, which were quite rustic and querky, a la the neolithic Nughas dotted around the island, Overall our experience was okay and the hotel is different again, but only does a full four course italian style meal, but did a few courses as takeaway. There is a pizza place over the road that did seafood and pasta as per the majority of restaurants if you travel to the main town. The shop is a fair walk with just basics, nothing touristy. The hotel staff were friendly but breakfast is serve yourself and hard to get attention of staff to get tea/coffee. Parking is not good but we paid 14 euros to park in the small carpark, which meant it was cool to get in and guarantees a space, parking on street could be very difficult peak time The main issue we have with the place is the usual maintenance issues we see frequently0 the old aircon doesnt work but not been removed, two small dehumidifiers in the bedroom and bathroom that need the water removing every day or too, which just did the job but we went last weekend of May. nothing in the main room- query what it will be like in August? There isnt a coffee maker that is mentioned in the RCI list and no kettle? had to boil water in a saucepan. Again we had to use matches as the hotplate igniter didnt work as didnt the extractor hood/light. Overall okay but must try harder
