![]() ![]() There was no bottled water in the room - for free or purchase. ![]() ![]() Our friends in the "Beach House" skipped dinner because it was too much of a hassle to get to the lobby. Having to call for a car to the hotel is a pain - so we ended up not enjoying the pool or hanging out with our friends. We were paying $250 / night to stay in a "resort" - but found an AirBNB in the same complex with the SAME floorplan that goes for $70 / night (and looked much better appointed). It did have a kitchen, but the fridge wasn't plugged in. 2 BR, including one with 3 bunk beds, and 2 bath. The villa is dingy and not well-appointed - very bare bones. It was closer to Porto San Paulo (10 min walk). There were three good things about the complex: 1. Another one in our group was similarly "upgraded" to the Beach House, which sounded like the same situation.We arrive at Villa 41, which is not "on the property", it's in Piccolo Scoglio, which is a condo housing complex a 6 minute drive away. We should have said "No" and insisted on what we booked. We were tired from the heat and relented. They claimed it was "on the property" and they would send a driver at any time to pick us up. We said we didn't want to stay "off the property" and wanted to stay with our friends in the room we booked. It was 6PM before we could go to our room.Except that somehow, my husband and I, who had booked a "Standard Room" were told our room required a "car ride" away. I am pregnant and didn't want to sit inside due to Covid, it's 95 degrees, so I asked if they could give me a cold bottle of water (for free) while we wait - they told me I could "buy one at the bar". And no, drinks were not complementary while we were waiting. Oh, but they weren't clean yet so we had to wait at the bar (outside, in 95 degree weather). Someone in the group got our groom involved who is a native Sardinian and could argue in Italian and they magically "find" all of the rooms we had booked. This was a block of rooms for the wedding booked many months ago. Also many of us did not have cars, and Sardinia is NOT easy to get around without your own car. No one wanted to do that because we were all staying at the hotel to be with our friends. They start to push us to "stay at an offsite property and we'll throw in dinner and a tour". When we arrived, they claimed they did not have rooms for the entire group. We arrived with our group of friends at 4:30PM for a friend's wedding the next day. ![]()
