Hotel Palumbalza Porto Rotondo

The hotel is set in a beautiful location overlooking a lovely bay. All of the staff are wonderful and very helpful. Our room was a ground floor with a large terrace. We visited in late May and expected bars and restaurants to be all fully opened, they weren’t. In fact we only had four options and quite a distance from the hotel and certainly not walking distance. After the first day and enquiring about the cost of taxis into nearby Porto Rotondo (6 minute drive €20 each way) we decided that we needed to hire a car. The hotel was very helpful and arranged this through them. We ate in the hotel for two days, but for us the food was not very good and was very expensive along with the drinks. Please note there is a service charge per person per plate at around €4 per person. We expected a fairly substantial bill for the two days we ate and drank at the hotel but we were surprised/ shocked at the cost, €288.00 inc €30 city taxes! A lovely peaceful holiday but we should have arranged a hire car from the beginning and travelled out for our meals.

From Olbia Airport it’s a windy road to head down to this property and the taxi will cost 55-60€. Absolutely beautiful views if facing the water and the grounds are manicured beautifully. The room was big with high ceilings and a tiny balcony with cafe chairs and table to enjoy the view. The tall closet in the room somewhat separates the space into two: queen bed on one side and sofa/pullout bed with small sitting nook and chairs on the other. Comfort isn’t a selling point. Neither is cleanliness: the upholstered chairs were dingy and the bathroom didn’t feel clean with inside the spacious shower having moldy corners/edges. And the wifi is rubbish. But the staff working here are friendly and incredibly helpful. The breakfast buffet is ok and you can request eggs made to order. The pasta dishes at dinner were great but the snack bar during the day is forgettable. There is not a nearby walkable market. At least not when we were there just before Easter (before the season started). The staff and the views are what made our short stay here enjoyable.

This was the worst hotel we have ever stayed in. The room stank damp and there was black mills in the bathroom. We were booked in for 7 nights but left after the first night. When asked why we were leaving I told them about the room and all I got was a comment ok then The food was ok but the rest was awful

We stayed there 4 nights in a standard room (3 adults). It's an average beach hotel, room quality is acceptable for short stays. Breakfast menu is reach and satisfactory. Lunch and Dinner menus are tasty but quite expensive. You need definitely a car to reach markets, restaurants, beaches, etc. around. Staff is polite and helpful.

Abbiamo lasciato oggi l’hotel con una lacrimuccia… Un posto incantevole nel centro del golfo di marinella, immerso nel verde si gode di una vista panoramica allucinante. Le camere sono spaziose e con affaccio per lo più sul golfo (la nostra era eccezionale e dotata di terrazza, con tanto di divano, poltroncine e tavolino.) Ci sarebbe solo bisogno di un piccolo restyling al bagno, un po’ datato, peró tutto compensato da un ottima pulizia giornaliera. La struttura è dotata di servizi come palestra, bar ristorante e anche noleggio barca in loco ( la struttura ha annesso un porticciolo) Piscina con acqua di mare e ben due spiaggette private, tutto curatissimo. Insomma una favola, posso solo trovare una pecca nella questione parcheggio auto, abbiamo capito che su tutta la zona funziona cosi… ma far pagare ai propri ospiti il parcheggio auto, mi sembra scorretto, sarebbe meglio fare assorbire tale spesa da altri costi di servizio,soprattutto in una località accessibile solo con auto ( siamo in una zona dove praticamente non ci si può muovere a piedi o con mezzi pubblici) Detto questo, menzione speciale allo staff, davvero dei professionisti gentili e sorridenti, il direttore poi, é stato davvero gentile, presente e premuroso durante tutto il soggiorno. Un soggiorno piacevole

Una struttura fronte mare immersa nel verde, con piscina d’acqua salata. Ha parcheggio (a pagamento), ristorante, bar, molo privato e noleggio gommoni. Il personale tutto è di alto livello, presente ma non “pressante” e di grande gentilezza e disponibilità. Ci siamo sentiti coccolati per tutto il nostro soggiorno. Posizione strategica con tantissime spiagge nell’arco di una decina di km. Abbiamo soggiornato a fine maggio con struttura non ancora pienissima (come tutta la Sardegna) probabilmente godendocela al suo meglio.
