Club Esse Residence Capo d'Orso

The swimming pool wasn’t open for the whole week, there are no facilities, so no bar or food shop. No beach towels. Beach is very close, walking distance and it’s beautiful. Apartment (ground level 2 bed villa) was clean, had comfy bed. Second bedroom was very tight but fitted 2 singles joined together and had a wardrobe. Normally a bunk bedroom we thought. Units in kitchen and bathroom a bit tired but worked very well. No kettle! Easy, flat walk into town with plenty of eating and drinking options. Ferries to La Maddalena Archipelago go from Palau and was definitely worth the trip - absolutely stunning. Eat at Zi Anto in La Maddalena - delicious food, wonderful staff and the most idyllic view.

2 bed apartment was basic but adequate for our needs, the view from the balcony was amazing! The complex was very clean with pool (swim APS required) a beach garden and beach. We were given bands to wear in our wrists on checkin, apparently to prove to staff we were allowed to use the facilities. We removed them after a couple of days as they looked rather cheap and were never challenged. Plenty of loo rolls & shampoo, a blessing as I’d forgotten ours. No WI-FI in the common area’s in the Residence (pool/bar garden) only in Hotel Posatta across the road! This and that checkin is at the hotel reception needs to be made clear. The apartments are a short walk into the harbour & town with plenty of restaurants, our favourites being Aglio&Oglio for food and IL Grillo for live music. Bus station and ferry also with 10 mins walk.

Friendly, accommodating staff. Big airy rooms (building E). Clean environment. Super convenient to downtown, marina, bus/ferry station, little beaches (plus one for dogs) and small fishes in the water, a pretty conservation forest of pine, a church with a bell that chimes the hour. No Wifi, but strong cell signal. Some services such as breakfast and laundry might be provided at the nearby Posada Hotel, owned by the same company.

Absolutely horrible. Apartment different from what shown in the pictures. A/C only in one bedroom and the rest of the apartment and other room with no A/C. We had to slumber in the bottom floor, to get some of the cool air. Sofa bed with no sheets. Very few electrical outlets, very old construction. Only high point the bathrooms. I do NOT recommend.

Tutto il personale, addetti al bar, addetti al ristorante, staff pulizie, reception, staff animazione gentili e disponibili al 100%. La struttura è dotata di arredi un po' datati e/o vintage, ma con un po' di spirito di adattamento ci si abitua. La punta di diamante della struttura è la posizione che si trova a circa 800 m dal centro, quindi la sera se si vuole cenare fuori dalla struttura o fare due passi non serve prendere l'auto per gli spostamenti. Il residence si trova di fronte all' hotel Posada, stesso gruppo club esse, in quest'ultimo si trova il ristorante con pranzo e cena a buffet con un prezzo accessibilissimo. Sia l' hotel che il residence hanno il bar e piscina. E ogni sera nel teatro del residence vengono organizzati spettacoli molto carini a cura dei ragazzi dell'animazione, mentre nell'hotel si ha un bel piano bar live a bordo piscina. Punto dolente della struttura e l'isolamento acustico, in pratica assente, infatti si sentono tutti i rumori proveniente dai vari alloggi adiacenti disturbando così il vostro riposo, l'arredamento troppo datato, infissi non dotati di zanzariere e clima non adeguato, poiché presente solo nella camera da letto matrimoniale e non riesce a rinfrescare camera singola e cucina.

Non ci tornerei e non lo consiglierei. Appartamento trilocale definito e pagato come categoria "SUPERIOR" e invece..... senza aria condizionata (al posto dei condizionatori 2 ventilatori x di più non funzionanti), acqua fredda per la doccia, scarsa pulizia. Oltretutto non essendoci un servizio di vigilanza notturna ci siamo dovuti sorbire anche i vicini maleducati e rumorosi.
