Tirreno Resort

Just returned from 10 days at Tirenno resort. Beautiful hotel and spotlessly clean everywhere. We were greeted by the lovely Eleanora at reception who spoke perfect English. She was really helpful throughout our stay as were her other 2 reception colleagues. We were in a bungalow looking out on impeccably kept gardens. Just gorgeous. Room was spacious and comfortable. The pool was outstanding. The best I’ve seen in 30 plus years of going abroad. Had a couple of great features.. bubble pool plus a fast moving jet circuit. Loved it. Ample sun beds. The beach was equally as clean. White sand and crystal clear water. Very busy and noisy on a morning but half emptied after lunchtime. Couple of nice beach bars on the the beach. We also dined at the Coralla Restaurant opposite the hotel. Wow. We ate mussels in tomato sauce (just get 1 to share between 2 people) and lobster languini. Both incredible. Fantastic waiter called Franco works there. He was fabulous at advice and made the evening more memorable. There are half a dozen other great bars and restaurants near the hotel. We booked a boat trip and hired a car from the helpful lady next to the reception. Both experiences were brilliant. Brandichini beach was gorgeous but incredibly busy. Need to pre book a spot. Sun bed hire was pricey at €45 for 2 beds and an umbrella. Food in the dining area was great. Good choices. Nice picnic provided for our boat trip. The only negative is this is not really a hotel for couples looking for a relaxing holiday which is what we wanted. It’s designed to be a hotel for familes, especially babies and toddlers who are quite noisy from morning till midnight. The entertainment goes on till after 11pm and there is a lot of noise till after midnight each night. ( We didn’t actually book this hotel - we were booked to go to Marina Beach, but they cancelled our hotel booking just before we were due to go and offered Tirenno as an alternative). That said, we loved our holiday and beautiful Sardinia and if we had young children, Tirrreno would be the perfect choice.

Like to start from positive. We booked 1 bed apartment, it was fabulous, recently renovated, lots of space, stylish, great view from the balcony, huge bathroom with nice walk-in shower. Even our apartment was directly in front of pool, bar, and restaurant, when windows closed - no sounds bothered us. But my sister booked bungalow and it was very tired. After every shower she had to collect water from the floor with towels. Swimming pool is great, we had lots of fun in lazy river and enjoyed hydro massage spots. Kids enjoyed water slide very much. Nice mini golf and 3 pin-pong tables. Great water zumba and yoga classes. I was doing its every day. Point to mention, most visitors in the hotel and around are Italian. All evening entertaining is in Italian language, out of 20 TV channels in the room only 1 in English and it is France 24 news. Also be ready that most of families are with kids all ages. It was plus for us but may be not for everyone. Now my improvement opportunity offers. 1.We did not have kettle in the room only coffee machine using coffee beans (no beans were supplied) If it would be adults only hotel I understand it , but when it is family oriented hotel having coffee station and NO kettle to make tea or hot chocolate for kids. 2. Can of Cola price 3.5 euro in a pool bar I find extremely overpriced. 3. Also we found extremely expensive possibility to update from B&B we booked to half board or all incl., same rate for adults and kids. We had done it in many other hotels, and it prices were much more reasonable Nice hotel in general, friendly staff, great location next to beautiful beach. Many places to eat pizza around. Apparently, most of local restaurants do not serve salads and vegetable dishes, only pizza and pasta. Local festivals were on 3 times during week we stayed on main street of resort (50 meters from hotel)

We had a fantastic weeks holiday with 3 generation's ranging in age from 4 to 70. The pool is huge and there are lots of fun areas for the kids to enjoy but it never seems busy for the adults to swim. Amazing water slide is great for all ages! Everything is spotless and the beach is safe and clean with lovely warm water. The food is truly amazing for a large scale buffet with incredible choice and quality. Rooms are clean and tidy with great air conditioning and the family room with 4 beds was perfect with little ones. Very few English guests but this added to the sense of being abroad. Would definitely recommend
