斯伯汀码头尼可拉斯俱乐部 (Nicolaus Club Marina Sporting)

What a lovely place, well worth the visit. Now, I have to be honest, we normally go out and about during our holidays, this time we didn't. Mainly due to me having been poorly for some time before our holiday and partly because of the location of the hotel. It was a leisurely stroll of 20-25 minutes into the nearest town/village or you could catch the tourist train which came to the hotel entrance. The cost of this was 5 euros per person return trip. The beach was a short walk through the hotel grounds or out of the main entrance, turn right and it's a 5 minute walk to the beach. The sea is a lovely temperature, beautifully clear on a calm day, easily warmer than the pool. The sandy beach was lovely and clean, however I found the beach to be quite gritty and I needed to wear sandals while on the beach. The staff were lovely and friendly, nothing to much trouble. Food in the dining room was good, my Husband loves pasta, I don't, but as it was still quite warm at the end of the season I didn't mind salads. There was plenty of choice. Rooms were good if a little tired looking but it was the end of season so I expect they will be fresh next season. The pool was small but perfect for a little dip. The nearby bar was small and staff worked well. You do have the choice to go to the sister hotel next door. Where you can have all the facilities you could ever want including entertainment. There is a small open theatre with shows if you want. And a programme of activities if that is your sort of thing. I am glad we went to the smaller hotel as it was very peaceful and just what I wanted.

We were on the Jive Time holiday too. The resort was spotlessly clean throughout. The food was very good considering the numbers catered for. There was a lot of choice and complimentary wine, beer and water. I loved the pool which was deep enough to dive in at one end. The beach was beautiful and the complimentary use of pedal boats and kayaks was great fun. The staff were generally friendly and helpful. My only negative comment would be to please check the music you are playing poolside. Some of the lyrics were really horrible. A small negative as the stay was memorable.

Quiet hotel, idealy for relaxing, being out of the every day ratrace. Very good food, great choice at the buffet, friendly service. Clean and spacious rooms. When you stay in SENTIDO Orosei, you can also use the facilities of the neighbour hotel where there is a huge pool (but drinks have to be paid there). Huge green garden en easy to walk to the centre.

Multi-generation family trip which was enjoyed by all especially “piccolo” Joseph. We arrived by car around 10.30 pm and found welcoming staff and some hot food waiting for us. Our room was a family room on the ground floor. Unfortunately it was very noisy which disturbed the baby frequently in the night. In the morning we spoke to Antonio in reception and were moved to another room just outside the main hotel block which met our needs better. Both rooms were spotlessly clean but could do with some upgrading. As mentioned by several guests the mattresses are not very comfortable. Hot water was always available and the shower had good pressure. The restaurant was buffet style and we had the same table all week. With a baby this was convenient and we chose a corner table so we could put the pram in the corner. At each and every meal 3 very different appetites and food preferences found a wide variety of delicious food to eat. The fish and seafood appreciated by one, the bbq and meats by another and the pasta dishes and cold selections by another. We ordered the packed lunches twice and they were of a good quality, The omelettes freshly made at breakfast were a highlight each day. Wine, beer and other drinks all of reasonable quality. Gin fizz and prosecco enjoyed the most. One minor irritation was the water running out in the coffee machines when it was your turn. Having to go find another machine and queue again meant food went cold back at the table. We didn’t go to the Al a carte restaurant as it was easier to take turns with the baby between courses in the buffet restaurant. We used the pool, it was cold but not as bad as some have described. Like the rooms some upgrading needed but the grounds around the pool and the hotel are very pretty and full of flowers. No shortage of beds, umbrellas and the large gazebo handy to seek shelter from the sun or the rain! We looked at the facilities including the very large pool at the adjacent hotel but found it rather noisy. The beach was just a short walk away and very beautiful especially if you walked away left or right away from the sun beds. The water soon went deep but the current wasn’t too strong so pleasant to swim in. We walked along the beach to the large jetty and then back along the road through a nature reserve and saw some interesting birds including a heron. Watch out for mosquitos though. They were very problematic whilst we were there. The weather was bad for 3 days so we were thankful that we had a hire car so we could visit vineyards,beaches etc.as much better weather in the south of the island. We explored Orosei which is a very interesting town and could be reached by a reasonably easy walk or by a little train. The hotel,had as described a few shortcomings but where it wowed us was with the friendly staff. Special thank you to Antonio in reception, the bar staff especially Lucia and the chef who made the omelettes at breakfast. He responded well to my ordering the fillings in Italian, gently correcting my mistakes. Finally ? Joseph wants to say thank you to you all for making his first holiday such a good one. Mille Grazie

We stayed at this hotel for a week on 16 September 2018. On arrival it looked clean and welcoming & comfortable. We arrived sometime between 11pm-1130 and were told food was available for us in the restaurant. We then had to go and choose our table that we wanted, and then were asked to sit down once we'd made our choice of table. We had NO idea that the table that we choose to sit in would be then "allocated" to us, and we would have to sit at the same table, each day for breakfast, lunch & dinner. For the duration of our holiday... Hmm. Not the best of starts for us to be honest! Once we were more awake the following morning, we decided that we would move ourselves to another table that we preferred, which was not currently "occupied". We asked if we could do this to one of the waiting on staff, but unfortunately she didnt really speak any english, and im ashamed to say i dont speak Italian at all. However, they got the gist once they had watched us move. The hotel is pretty quiet and there is NO entertainment whatsoever. Or literally anything to do. If you are staying here and the weather is really bad (eg flash flooding, strong winds and rain battering it down, as was the case for 4 days whilst we we there) there is absolutely noting to do on the complex. We just wanted to chill out by the pool for a week, but through no fault of the hotel's, the weather was awful. So to stop the boredom, we hired a car for 4 days and headed south into the stunning national park, & then further south to the coast. It was all gorgeous! The landscape and the mountains beautiful. Back on the hotel, the room itself was smaller than i imagined after looking at photo's n the hotels website, but it was spotlessly clean and made up nicely. The room cleaning ladies were excellent at their jobs. Food: Very VERY hit and miss. Catered more for their German clientele, than the Sardinian holiday that we were expecting. Limited availability on food. NO table service in the evenings. If you like the pool, beware of this one. Its FREEZING. As my husband has just said, "Its more like an arctic plunge". WAY too cold. Nobody dared use it. The best thing about this hotel were the pool bar staff, Franceso & Lucia. They were FABULOUS at their jobs. Hard working and friendly. Lovely people. They definitely need a pay rise for the work they do! This hotel is best suited to retired German couples. Would we go back..? Disappointingly no.
