Only issue was effectiveness of AC and food options in hotel Otherwise location is perfect

My husband, three year old daughter and I stayed at this lovely hotel for 4 nights. The staff and service, the property, the room and food were incredible. When I was originally booking our lodging for this trip, I was deciding between this hotel and another. I told my husband multiple times during our stay that I was SO glad we chose Hotel sporting. The rooms were spacious and clean. The bed was comfortable and great shower pressure. There were so many beautiful views around the property. The included breakfast was wonderful-I looked forward to it every morning. The surrounding marina had great options for dining each night as well! We were all very sad to leave!

A good team of hard working ladies kept the place clean. Beach however had a rather coarse sand pebbles and rocks mixed with vegetal debris in parts of it. Water was far from a blue flag since hundreds of boats, some of them absurdly huge, steamed in and out eventually anchoring in front of the hotel to entertain clients. 2 nights we had probably drunken yachtpeople karaoke until 1am as they were anchored near us. The place is pricey and probably posh. I am not sure. There were two pools. One they keep cleaning but nobody used and the other not serviced but people wanted to use… Communication with people was often difficult despite goodwill ( mine and usually theirs). I paid a higher tariff for the option “pay at the property” I paid a big upfront, 4 days accommodation value just after entering the hotel and the rest by transfer. For few minutes the reception guy wanted to keep me in the reception until he receives bank confirmation. Eventually he allowed me to go to room, take shower and cover the rest of the stay by bank transfer. It was a bad start. I asked for a proforma. Impossible… for obscure reasons. Massimo was the nice waiter. Most of them were like that but two grumpy guys were in the team too. In my humble opinion Spa, Coffee machine, gym are required for 5 stars. Most of these were not there or I was not made aware that thy really exist and work. The restaurant building is beautiful in an original rustic style. The food choice is rather narrow.

We stayed for 2 nights at the Hotel Sporting while our yacht was anchored in the Port, the hotel is in a lovely position with great views out to the sea. The feature that was most pleasant was the attitude of the staff who were all very attentive, particularly Ivo and Roberto in the restaurants who looked after our every need, so well done to them. The food and cocktails were very good, the rooms are typically Sardinian style and were particularly clean. The only improvement could be some nice sunbed cushions rather than the basic mesh beds you find in cheaper hotels around Italy. All in all though a very enjoyable stay!
