Pros:

For the price and what they claim, not worth the money. Rooms were meh, pool was shaded and definitely gave “quiet pool” vibes. No water was provided at all(none in the gym or lobby)Guests seemed very pretentious (for no reason). There was a long list of “rules” upon check in, including that you couldn’t bring any outside food or drinks to your room.
The private beach was beautiful and the chaise lounge chairs/towels were nice. On our first day, the beach attendant offered us a bottle of prosecco for 150.00 Euro. After we said no, he came back and said he could do it for 50.00. Didn’t expect negotiations on the beach menu. We would definitely chose a different resort next time.

Pros:

Lots of insects/bugs while eating. Property has too many restrictions. WiFi sucks. Perfect to do nothing. You must rent a car or be subject to very expensive cabs. Good options at and by the property is limited. Staff wasn’t very welcoming and there seemed to be a lot of awkwardness, especially while checking in. Love Sardinia but won’t be staying here again. Just wasn’t very welcoming or worth the price point to me

Pros:

Great stay! We had a great time. The beach is amazing, accessible, and private. It was easy to rent a car and park for free, and driving to nearby towns like Porto Cervo was easy and quick. Cannigione itself had many dining options as well. The staff was extremely helpful and nice at the hotel, and the pool and gym were nice.

Not a 5 star hotel.
Pros:

This was, unfortunately, a very disappointing experience. The rooms are clean and modern, so that's a plus.

But it seemed like they don't understand what a 5 star hotel is. TBH the whole thing felt like a Ryanair version for hotels, where they grossly overcharged you for everything to the point where I was happy the air was free eventually.

I primarily booked the hotel due to the dock, which is promoted on their profile, but when we got to the hotel, they told us it was closed due to a storm earlier that year. They did not inform us whatsoever beforehand, probably so we wouldn't cancel our stay.

The "private" beach photos are cleverly taken as the beach is just a small plot of sand in the middle of a massive public beach. It also takes about 20 minutes to drive there. We ordered lunch there one day, but the food took around 2 hours to arrive, and they told us constantly that the food was just around the corner. They even prepared a table for us at the beach and just had us sitting there for 1 hour... I tried to inform a lady in reception about this incident, but she just looked at me like I was in the wrong. The pool does not support nearly enough people either, so it's impossible to get a sunbed there.

To sum up.
The hotel itself is nice-looking and clean, with an ok breakfast. But given the price you pay per night, I would recommend booking somewhere else. If you do decide to stay here, then you should just be prepared to pay around 100 euros per day extra.

Pros:

The hotel was very clean. The waiting staff were phenomenal. The reception personnel were helpful but unfortunately upon check out many charges were charged that were never ordered or used. Transfers to and from hotel were told to us by many staff members behind the desk one price but upon check out almost triple was charged for this service. We were told that each transfer to the beach was $18 euros per way but upon check out we were charged $80 Euros for these transfers per day. If we were told this we would have not used this service. This is very deceitful coming from the reception desk staff. When we confronted about these charges upon check out, we were told that we misunderstood, how can that be if 3 different receptionists told us the exact same amount each time we asked for this service. We are extremely disappointed and upset. We spent quite a bit of money to stay at this 5 star hotel. Lesson learned to have information in writing and not verbal communication.

Pros:

Beautiful, spotless hotel with polite staff and great housekeeping — rooms are immaculate and turn-down service is a nice touch.

Unfortunately, the service culture doesn’t match the price (€400/night without a balcony). The beach is 2.5 km away, not 500 m as advertised. Food and drinks at the beach take over an hour to arrive and are lukewarm. Breakfast doesn’t include omelettes or pancakes (extra charge), cocktails are €18–20, water €5/50cl, and every small request seems billable.

Transport costs are extreme: €60 return per person for a 1.9 km boat drop-off, and €130 for a 24 km airport transfer — claimed to be the “only option,” even though we arrived by regular taxi.

Cocktails were great when Bruno was working, otherwise sugary water. Food quality didn’t match the price. Overall, it felt like the focus was on squeezing every euro from guests rather than delivering a genuine 5-star experience.

Pros:

This hotel is sublime. The photos on the website do not do it justice. The hotel itself is modern, spotlessly clean, and the staff are very helpful. The pool area is lovely and the shuttle to the private beach was incredibly convinient and luxerious. I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel to family and friends. The hotel is also well located and a five minute walk to local resturants and shops. 10/10.

Pros:

First of all, I will star with me wanting a 5 star hotel with beach club on the deck.
Which both the hotel have failed to bring up.
It start with a failure of the front desk to accommodate transportation at night time for 2 women. (which much expensive then just to get taxi)
After that Ive booked sea/pool front room but then the hotel changed it to garden view, with all those inconveniences also the staff at the front desk was super unprofessional and very not welcoming. They make me feel like they do me a favor. (No any 5 star hotel Ive ever been I experienced such a bad staff treatment)
After that, at the morning I was at least excited to go to the beach on the deck to enjoy the day ( as you could see in the pictures of the property)
Then the front desk saying its been close for a while and there is a shuttle of 10min drive to the beach till 6pm. Totally unacceptable! No one told us before booking or after. Completely disrespectful towards to customer.
At the evenings I was supposed to get ready to dinner and I was asking for iron to the room and there was very rude response of the staff of them telling me there is no iron allowed to the room and if I want i can use their iron service from 10am with cost of 15/20€ per ITEM! Where is that make sense?
Went with wrinkly clothes to dinner and my total vacation ruined because their “rules”
After all these inconveniences the staff was totally not nice. The staff was porously made us hard to get transportation.
Bad wifi !!!!
