Lufra Beachside Hotel

The rooms are very small, definitely not how they make it seem in the photos and made it a nightmare to take anything out of your bags. The rooms were clean. The one time I don’t bring my own toiletries, they haven’t refilled the body wash, my partner and I had to shower with no soap. Sarah at the restaurant spoke to me so rudely when we tried to book in at the restaurant at check in, I received a sigh and frustration on her end because we didn’t have a booking - we did not dine there. However, the lady at reception was really kind and warm. I was feeling unwell in the morning and they allowed us to check out 1 hour later, which was very thoughtful. Parking was easy to attain. The view was nice, but the rooms being as small as they were did not make up for it.

Location is wonderful. Ocean views, long white empty beach, very tidy rooms.

The room was cramped with no air conditioning and full of mosquitos. The lack of ventilation made sleep on a reasonably warm night difficult. There was no practical place to hang up a coat as the only hanging space was above the desk and kettle. There was no pictures on the wall at all and it looked very bleak house. The kettle had to be boiled on the floor as there was no sockets where it was located, creating a health and safety issue. There was no fan in the room. Chairs in the room were utilitarian and uncomfortable. To summarise we got a poor nights sleep and were bitten by the mosquitos, not a recipe for a happy customer. The room and experience represented poor value for money.

I was disappointed that I had booked an Ocean View room but ended up in a ground floor room with and ocean glimpse. You could say “why didn’t I say something?”. Well by the time I unloaded my motorcycle and put my kit in the room I couldn’t be bothered. This sort of stuff stays on my ‘never return to this hotel list’.

We had a wonderful stay at Lufra Hotel. Everything was fantastic!
