Quirky and charming
Pros:

Stayed for long weekend with a couple of girlfriends and it exceeded expectations. Quirky decor which added to charm, room had plenty of storage, a fridge and was spotlessly clean. Agree it could do with a couple more plugs as we had to unplug the fridge to charge our phones. Above all the views from the terrace were stunning and the layout being on many levels meant we always had a spot to ourselves with a lovely view, we were lucky to have perfect weather so were able to swim in pool and the beautiful clear sea. Food was varied and civilised to have a 4 course menu rather than buffet. If you want to eat out in the evening you can swap dinner for lunch. Drinks were reasonable. Evening entertainment was a pianist who unfortunately insisted on singing! Short walk into the resort with restaurants, shops and again those lovely views. Supermarket was about 15 minutes walk if you want to stock up on water or snacks. We found staff to be lovely, reception gave us a map of the local area when we asked for one so don't understand the comments about them being unhelpful. Don't be put off by negative reviews it made a nice change to stay in a family run non chain hotel.

You won’t regret staying here
Pros:

10/10 for this hotel and location. The photos do not do it justice on the website. We had a side view room that had an excellent view and the room was great and authentic Italian styled. The hotel was lovely and the staff were helpful, polite and friendly. The food was great and the selection for breakfast and the choice of four courses in the evening was delicious. The multiple pools and private beach was a delight to spend our days relaxing around. The town is a small walk to and beautiful with a small selection of bars, restaurants and shops of high quality. A must is the boat trip around the islands that had up to 12 people on board. Best boat trip ever. I would definitely recommend this hotel and location as I we had the best week here and wished we had booked for longer. You won’t regret choosing here to holiday.

A lovely hotel with a stunning beachfront location - nice relaxing week for the family
Pros:

Location was fabulous with a private beach and a lovely relaxing atmosphere through the hotel. Staff were very friendly to our toddler. The
Hotel also treated us to Prosecco on arrival for a special birthday.

Cons:

A shame dinner in the restaurant didn’t start until 7:30pm as with a toddler we had to eat elsewhere earlier.

Lovely holiday
Pros:

Lovely hotel, we had an ocean view room amazing waking up to that view each day, room very spacious.
Hotel was very clean and well kept beautiful gardens, plenty of sun beds round the swimming pools and there we plenty on the beach.
Breakfast plenty of choice everything was fresh.
Short walk to the restaurants with lots to choose from.
If you want to explore good idea to have a car as quite hotel is quite remote from another other towns, hotel has a car park or you can park outside.

Good hotel but not much help from the front desk
Pros:

The hotel is set in an undeniably beautiful location with access to a private beach. Rooms are very good and very clean and breakfast is really good with a wide range of choice. If all you want is to stay at the resort and enjoy what is on offer then this is for you. Before we went I emailed asking about excursions etc and was told that this information would be available on arrival. However when we got there all the excursions had already been booked up and the only one we managed to secure was on our last day, was cancelled. My criticism is that the front desk did not help with offering information at the start e.g. a map of the immediate location giving information on location of booking booths for boat trips, where the tourist information was, market day , where the local supermarket was - all these things we had to find out for ourselves. It seemed that you needed to ask questions rather than be given a package of info like in other hotels. The trip which was cancelled (no fault of theirs) was only discovered when I went down the previous evening to ask the pick up time for the following morning and then we were left a note in German under our door. Had we known in advance then we might have been able to sort another trip for that day.

Wonderful time at the Grand Hotel Smeraldo Beach
Pros:

I have have just returned from a week at the Grand Hotel Smeraldo Beach in Baja Sardinia and simply could not fault it. As noted in other reviews the location is picture perfect with the hotel benefiting from its own private stretch of beach and within 5-10 minutes walking distance of the small resort centre, although its worth noting that some of the inclines might be challenging for those with walking difficulties.

Again as noted the half board option was really good value with all the usual choices at breakfast and the evening meal which consists of four courses was always enjoyable, wines ranged in costs upwards of 25 euros per bottle so not cheap but similar to those elsewhere.

I can see that many people have commented on the rooms being dated which is true, but in my opinion this only added to the rustic charm of the hotel and the option of a sea view room is highly recommended. What did surprise me was just how busy the hotel was for mid September as I had expected the hotel to be quietening down for the end of the season, but no the opposite was the case as it was really busy, with a wide variety of guests from many different nationalities.

I was slightly concerned over some review noting that the sun beds were difficult to find in the morning due to other guests reserving them first thing and whilst this did occur we never found any problems finding one and enjoyed all the nooks and crannies which were tucked away around the hotel grounds. Again as noted the staff were marvellous and attentive so again no concerns. Worth highlighting that the nearest supermarket is a 15 minute uphill walk at a steady pace.

In summary, we really enjoyed our time and would recommend this hotel for a family or couple looking for a beach holiday.
