This year was the second time we've taken our summer vacation at Le Dune. We are a family of four, with kids aged 9 and 12. We took the half-board option, where breakfast and dinner are included, with the exception of drinks. The main reasons we went back: 1. The place With its excellent (large/deep) swimming pools and fantastic choice of superb quality restaurants, Le Dune is simply a wonderful destination. It features low, one-storey buildings and cute paths wind throughout the site, so it does not feel 'built up' at all, much more like a village. 2. Kids club This year both of our kids were in the 9-13 age club (called Junior Club I think). The team of young staff are amazing, and the activities are a decent mix of sports, creative, a movie here and there, and some music/theatre (the kids club's members get involved in one of the weekly shows). In terms of languages, the default is Italian, but most of the staff also speak some English, and others bits of French, German etc. Our kids understand Italian, but their EN and FR friends seemed to enjoy things equally. 3. The staff Similar to the Kids Club's team, Le Dune's entire staff are obviously well trained and super smiley and helpful. For example, this year we found our initial apartment was a little too close to the main piazza where the evening shows take place - thus too noisy for our kids to get to sleep - and the reception team relocated us without one iota of fuss. 4. Beach While the beach isn't the most beautiful in Sardinia, that's largely because the bar is so high! The sand is lovely, the water blue and clear, there is a sandbar 30 meters out where you can stand up and rest, and there are plenty of sunbeds available. One thing did change recently, which is that these sunbeds are now paid at a daily rate (e.g. no longer included in the 'all-included' pricing). However, if you book the year before (meaning before December for the summer after), sunbeds remain free. Will we go back again for a third year? Most likely, since it's the only vacation we've taken with kids where we come back actually feeling properly relaxed :-)
