Baglioni Resort Sardinia - The Leading Hotels of the World

The views of the sea were pretty and the location was nice, but the beach was too far to walk to. This was the only five-star place in the area, so I had to stay there, but it doesn't measure up to similar places around Porto Cervo. Prices were five-star-plus, while the experience fell well short. The rooms felt cheap, from the pillows that weren't a good enough selection to the toilet seats without soft close in 2026. Service was the biggest letdown, especially housekeeping and reception, though the bar and restaurant weren't the issue. They completely forgot to clean our room once, and in general it didn't feel tidy or clean, with ants in the room. Worse, reception lied twice when we raised issues. That was unacceptable, and the attitude throughout was careless and unapologetic. I definitely won't stay again.

Our one night here with my mother ended up being really memorable. We had a junior suite, and every staff member we met was kind and respectful. They were accommodating too, and most could speak at least basic English, which made everything easy for us. The beach, spa, rooms, the whole operation, were all top notch. It was my first stay at a Michelin-star resort, and it lived up to what I expected. We picked it partly because it was within a half-hour drive of Olbia airport. The 40% off-season deal was great value. Thanks to the staff for making that night so special.

We paid around €1,000 a night for the junior suite during our seven-night stay, so the room issues were hard to overlook. The floors were dirty and hadn't been vacuumed properly. The bathroom felt small for the size of the room, and the materials seemed low quality. I understand the rustic style, but scratched plastic garden tables and stained floors aren't part of that look for me. The beach itself is lovely, though it's about 500 metres from the resort and has no bathrooms, showers, restaurant, or water sports. They say that's because it's a protected natural area, but those limits should be clearly stated on the website and when booking. The beach and pool towels were also very cheap and unbranded. There were good things: the location, breakfast and food generally, Acqua di Parma toiletries, and a gym with sea and sunrise views. The small spa was more than adequate for a beach resort. Restaurant service was chaotic, with everyone doing everything and servers getting in one another's way. Drinks cost enough that I was surprised they came with nothing on the side, and nobody asked whether we wanted anything with them. It's a pretty isolated area, which is lovely, but you'll need a car if you plan to leave the resort.

A lovely, well-kept setting, with really friendly and attentive staff. The beach shuttle was useful, and it felt family friendly.
