Grand Hotel Smeraldo Beach

We were a group of 18 people. We all had a great time here!!! The multiple pools was awesome. The private beach was good to have on site. Walking into town was easy and very close. great location. the breakfast spread was outstanding. The food overall was great. Staff and service was also outstanding. We would definitely come back to stay.

We booked this hotel largely based on the beachfront view and price and were a little nervous to read the negative reviews here, but our experience was wonderful. The hotel’s decor is exactly what we expected to find in Italy, having traveled around Europe extensively. It’s not modern, but it is authentic. The room was spacious and clean, with plenty of closet space, working AC, and a balcony with a frontal sea view. The free breakfast was standard European and there were plenty of options. We chose to eat lunch at the hotel a few days and the food was good with good-sized portions. The hotel is located just a short walk from the center of town, where there was a beach with rental lounge chairs and umbrellas, as well as several restaurants. There were other restaurants within walking distance as well. We enjoyed going out to dinner at night and then coming back to the piano bar/terrace afterwards to cap off the night.Yes, people reserve beach and pool chairs early in the morning, but this is also something that happens everywhere unless you can reserve — and was not an issue for us since my husband was up at 8am :) The staff was helpful and friendly; we especially enjoyed Mae, who was our waitress for lunch and drinks. We would definitely come back!

Beautiful property. Private beach. Several pools. Short walk to many restaurants near hotel

We spent about 4 days at this resort and must say it was amazing. We will be coming back to experience the hospitality, multiple pools and amazing beaches!

I loved the atmosphere of the ocean and the scenery. Did not like that they only give you one beach towel for the entire stay. The beach restaurant had very LITTLE choices 3 salads from 12:30-2 then ONLY frozen pizza rest of the day. No service at the pool side to get drinks, food. Nothing going on on the property. Very quiet and felt like i was on a retirement property!

Hotel is in a great location and we got a lovely welcome at check in with an upgrade to a sea view which we were very grateful for. We haven’t needed to have many encounters with staff but when we have they have been excellent. Positives - location, range of pool areas and terraces to sunbathe as well as the beach area which is small but with lots of chairs and umbrellas. Terrace area outside of our room was lovely to sit in, very private. Breakfast area was never too busy and there was a good range of food including a gluten free area. Great restaurant across the road from the hotel, lots of others in the main area of baia Sardinia, all within walking distance. There is a supermarket less than a five minute drive away. No loud music at the pool or any activities which could be a negative for some. Beds were very comfortable. Pool towels provided but if you want to change them there is a €2 charge. Parking at the hotel. Negatives - most of the sun beds were ‘reserved’ before 8am which then weren’t used for hours, the hotel really must look at this. The beach bar didn’t have a great range of food for lunch, we only used it on 1 occasion and we weren’t overly impressed. The WiFi was dreadful. None of our phones could ever connect to it meaning that we had to purchase data bundles to keep in touch with home which was a necessity for us. I am vegetarian and thought breakfast was a decent quality but my husband and son didn’t rate the hot food that highly.

We particularly loved the various pools, lounge areas outdoors and the swimming from the beach at the hotel. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Beautiful and isolated location with private beach and large pool areas with sun beds. Nice personnel and excellent food served for both breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The room was clean with good view and terrace, but quite outdated. The bathroom was also outdated, which was seen from a toilet where the pressure created a splash on the floor every time, even when the lid was down. It would be nice with sun beds instead of chairs on the beach as well, since most sun beds were taken already at breakfast.

The conditions of the rooms were terrible, especially the bathrooms, which are at youth hostel level at best. The entire building is outdated and needs a complete renovation. The gym is very old with only 1 mat, old carpeting and a few outdated machines. There is nothing that makes this place a 4 star hotel. Nothing is complimentary, not even a clean beach towel. The location and the view are beautiful and the only redeeming qualities of the hotel.

We enjoyed 2 nights here. The front desk staff was fantastic. We liked the private resort which had amazing grounds including pools, and the beach/rocks. The pool/beach chair scenario is very undesireable. They ask you not "save" chairs but everyones gets up at the crack of dawn and goes down to throw their stuff on chairs and then proceed to leave for hours. We just went to the beach and put our towels in the sand, or on a portable chair if available when we were ready to get in the sun. We ate at the restaurant across the street and had a blast. You can also walk up the hill and down the street to get to main Baja area of shops and restaurants. All very close!

Schone kamer maar verouderd, en douchen in bad.Personeel heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Ontbijt eenvoudig. Liggen van het hotel is prachtig aan het water. Fitness ruimte kan wel een upgrade gebruiken.

Schon beim Betreten des Zimmers kam uns ein extrem unangenehmer Geruch entgegen. Es stinkt einfach, und das hat den ganzen Aufenthalt überschattet. Die Zimmer sind sehr alt, mit Teppichboden und stark in die Jahre gekommenen Badezimmern. Zwar war es sauber, aber der Zustand entspricht in keiner Weise einem 4-Sterne-Hotel. Die Betten waren unbequem und durch die extrem hellhörigen Wände haben wir jede Nacht den schnarchenden Zimmernachbarn gehört – an erholsamen Schlaf war nicht zu denken. Das Hotel ist insgesamt sehr alt und offensichtlich eher für ein älteres Publikum (60+) ausgelegt. Wir waren froh, dass wir nur zwei Nächte dort waren, denn schon nach der ersten Nacht hätten wir am liebsten ausgecheckt. Positiv zu erwähnen ist einzig der Strand, der wirklich schön war. Alles andere war leider enttäuschend. Wir können die vielen guten Bewertungen dieses Hotels absolut nicht nachvollziehen – es ist uns ein Rätsel.

Très bon sejour, bon accueil, excellent restaurant. Hôtel très bien placé à 5mn à pieds de la station . Une belle expérience Si je devais donner un point négatif...salle de bains un peu vieillotte

Très décevant hôtel des années 80 pas remis au goût du jour Les chambres sont bruyantes et les salles de bain en mauvais état Le ménage est fait des 7:30 sans respect pour les gens qui dorment encore enfin la gestion des transat près des piscines est à revoir les gens les réservent le matin pour la journée ce qui ne permet pas à tout le monde d’en profiter

Buona posizione ma troppo esposto al consueto maestrale sardo.Sttuttura soffocata da moquette nelle stanze e nelle aree comuni,datata e poco igienica .Arredo anni '70.Servizi scarsi .Assolutamente non family friendly

This is a beautiful, if slightly dated, property. Staff and decor are austere but helpful. Rooms are dated and the mattresses/pillows are uncomfortable. But the location, beachfront, pools and view easily accommodate for all of this.

This was our fourth stay at Grand Hotel Smeraldo Beach and we enjoyed it as always. The hotel has a beautiful, picturesque location with pools, 2 private beaches only for hotel guests and a very well kept garden. The staff is brilliant. The hotel complex is not new, traditionally Italian but very well maintained and spotlessly clean. A superb, relaxed stay at this hotel, truly beautiful views and outstanding food with overall excellent service. We booked half board as before and enjoyed delicious lunch at Pagoda almost everyday but the four course dinner with typical Italian dishes must not be missed. Grazie mille! We will certainly come again,.

The location is pretty good. The hotel needs updating, our rooms were like a pink little girls room, very hard beds and flat pillows. Breakfast was okay ( but most free breakfasts are okay anyway) The staff was pretty nice and always helpful with helping with transportation. Shower pressure was the strongest ever. Alsmost too strong. Overall it was fine for the price vs other price points in sardinia.

Pros - Great traditional Italian food and selection - Waiters were attentive and friendly - Air conditioned room - Various pools and a beach to relax and sunbath - Local excursions are available Cons - All drinks have to be paid for..gets expensive. - Rooms are dated..need modernising - Wifi glitchy when in your room (first floor) - Adverised garden view fails to mention overlooking the car park (Has parking) - Beach felt artificial, man made, not real sand, sun chairs rather sun beds on the beach. Only sun beds around the pools. Beware these are reserved early using the towel deposit ploy! Note is isolated but this is clear from initial booking.

De vele zwembaden en het ontbijt waren heel prettig. De kamers waren enorm gehorig en niet eerder zo meegemaakt. Dat was echt heel slecht.

Dated but nice facility on the ocean with nice views. Rooms are ok but they need to improve the beds and pillows. Pillow was thin like a towel. Breakfast buffet is below average. Food quality is below average and some staff not friendly and do not look happy they work there. The restaurants have very limited food offerings. Not much seafood and pasta is below average. Prices are way too high but the nice situated hotels helps to improve the stay. Prices are way too high for rooms in high season.

The conditions of the rooms were terrible, especially the bathrooms, which are at youth hostel level at best. The entire building is outdated and needs a complete renovation.

Loved this hotel. Beautiful location and the staff was outstanding

Our stay at The Gand Hotel Sameldra was a wonderful experience. The staff throughout the hotel were fantastic. They were very friendly, willing to go the extra mile to make our stay more comfortable and enjoyable. The breakfast was great. The choices one had were excellent. The evening meals were delicious, except for one evening. We ordered the suckling pig. It was cold and very little meat on it. We sent it back and they sorted it and we had the lamb chops, which were delicious. The bar staff were lovely. Especially Francesia making brilliant cocktails and Maria Antonette so professional patient and taking care of the guests with such care. Then the food service staff and the service staff on linen cleaning the bedrooms. Again so professional hard working. All with a smile. Lastly the staff were lovely too at reception. our gratitude to all of you who made our stay at the Hotel Sameldra a wonderful memorable one. Thank you! Room 339. Highly recommended!

Beautiful, well kept, with many pools and a gorgeous beach. The staff was a bit rude, very short with us.

Ottima posizione, personale gentilissimo. Il servizio del ristorante è ottimo ed è eccellente il servizio del maitre di sala Nicola e di tutti i componenti la sua equipe.

The hotel is located in a great area, with its own beach surrounded by beautiful and picturesque views. Right in front of the hotel there is a restaurant-café, which is very convenient if meals are not included. The hotel itself has a charming atmosphere, giving off an “old village” vibe. The staff are friendly and welcoming. Within walking distance, you’ll find a plaza with restaurants, shops, and another beach. The hotel also offers a selection of excursions and transfer services upon request.

No Parking. No outside guests allowed even to visit. Restaurant closed at 9.30. No sunbeds available. Air conditioning not working properly I had to sleep with 2 cheap ventilators to help the A/C and night receptionists hangs up the phone if you ask for help.

Excellent Hôtel stuff high professional

Beautiful property. Private beach. Several pools. Short walk to many restaurants near hotel

This hotel is unique because of its location – it has its own picturesque beach and direct access to the sea. Within walking distance from the hotel, there is a café-restaurant, as well as a shopping plaza and other restaurants. The staff is friendly and welcoming.

Great location!

Beautiful hotel, great quiet private beach, excellent buffet breakfast included, close to Porto Cervo, Maddalena Archipelago’s tour departures, close to all North side of Sardinia beautiful beaches and towns!!! Would stay there again!!

This is our second stay at this beautiful hotel after finding it last year . It absolutely ticks all the boxes , location is fantastic , restaurants , shops ,and beautiful coves to snorkel in , on your doorstep. The amazing “Phi Beach” nightclub is literally found the corner but you’d never know … Staff amazing , friendly and helpful and will definitely be going back . We just love this place . Thank you .. again 💙

Fantastic location

My husband and I stayed five days at the Grand Smeralda. It was a gorgeous hotel and property overlooking the ocean and pool. Breakfast was just fantastic. Location was a great launching point to take our day trips up and down the coast to see the site. The restaurants all around the area are all delicious. Definitely need a car. Would have loved a more updated open air restaurant at the Pagoda. We never went there for lunch or dinner because it seemed a bit outdated and old-fashioned. We did enjoy a delicious lunch at the pool bar. There are also very strict lunch and dinner hours. We missed lunch once and so we had to starve until dinner time. A big plus is the private beach that is so easy to walk down to and enjoy your lounge, chairs and umbrellas with the beautiful ocean and scenery. The gardens are gorgeous and so is the hotel decor. and we loved the piano man in the bar in the evening. So talented! thank you for a great day Grand Smeralda!

great stay. private beach and pools with space for all. Many shops, restaurants and lounges in walking distance.

Sehr schöner und ruhiger Urlaub. Die Lage an der Costa Smeralda ist top. Wir hatten Halbpension gebucht und das Angebot bzw. die Auswahl beim 4-Gänge-Menü ließ keine Wünsche offen. Bezüglich des Frühstücks besteht noch Luft nach oben. Nur eine Salamisorte und 2 weitere Wurstsorten finde ich zu wenig. Auch gab es die ganze Zeit den gleichen Schnittkäse. Das Angebot ein Spiegelei oder ein Omlett zu erhalten fehlte ebenfalls. Es gab nur Rührei und hartgekochte Eier. Die Auswahl an Dolce und Obst war hervorragend. Die Zimmer mit Meerblick wunderbar. Grundsätzlich tolle Swimmingpools allerdings zum Schwimmen wenig geeignet bei einer maximalen Tiefe von 100 cm. Preise und Auswahl von Getränken waren gut.

I loved the atmosphere of the ocean and the scenery. Did not like that they only give you one beach towel for the entire stay. The beach restaurant had very LITTLE choices 3 salads from 12:30-2 then ONLY frozen pizza rest of the day. No service at the pool side to get drinks, food. Nothing going on on the property.

Grand hôtel … grand problèmes ! Positif : l’endroit est beau. C’est tout. Négatif Impossible de dormir. On entend les chambres autour comme si on était dans la même pièce. Je regrette d’avoir réservé pour deux nuits sinon je partais dès le 1er matin. Le petit déjeuner industriel est sans goût. Le seul café est celui d’une machine industrielle en poudre. Impossible d’obtenir un véritable café même en payant un supplément. Celui du bar est très bon… mais le personnel a pour instruction de ne pas fournir ce service durant le petit déjeuner. Les jus de fruits sont également industriels chimiques et je n’ai but qu’une gorgée avant de laisser mon verre. Immonde. Dans mes souvenirs ceci ressemble plus à une mauvaise cantine scolaire plus qu’à un hôtel 4*.

Très bon sejour, bon accueil, excellent restaurant. Hôtel très bien placé à 5mn à pieds de la station . Une belle expérience Si je devais donner un point négatif...salle de bains un peu vieillotte

Très bon séjour dans cet hôtel où nous avons bien mangé, les serveurs étaient aux petits soins . Nous avons apprécié la vue magnifique et les couchers de soleil splendides à l'apéritif !
