Blu Hotel Laconia Village

“A lovely time.”

We had a lovely time. Positives: we were given 80 euros at the bar. It was half board plus, so breakfast and dinner. Wine with dinner. Room was good. Service was good. Food was fantastic.

We had a lovely time. Positives: we were given 80 euros at the bar. It was half board plus, so breakfast and dinner. Wine with dinner. Room was good. Service was good. Food was fantastic. Italian and lovely. Closest town was 1 mile for shops etc. Canagione. No problem for us. The beach was about 400 metres. 10 euros if you want a sunbed. Other lovely beaches that we walked to. Great boat trip, flyer from the hotel, 65 euros. Took the bus, from just outside the hotel, to Porto Cervo and Baja Sardena. Enjoyed both. Negative: The little man that runs the restaurant. George/Jorge. (Romanian) I broke 2 rules on my second day. I filled up my water bottle in the restaurant, and I took my wine glass to the outside area. On both occasions, he spoke to me as if I was a criminal. I contained my rage, as I know my lady would not be happy if I reacted. To the management, get rid of this guy. He is bad for business. Please look at my previous reviews..all positive.

“Fabulous holiday”

Lovely hotel, getting a bit tired around the edges but clean, tidy and looked after Food was probably the best ‘buffet’ dining we’ve ever enjoyed. Pasta heaven, fish, cooked meats all perfect.

Lovely hotel, getting a bit tired around the edges but clean, tidy and looked after Food was probably the best ‘buffet’ dining we’ve ever enjoyed. Pasta heaven, fish, cooked meats all perfect. Likewise breakfast was full of choices Florin, our waiter, was a mine of useful information about beaches, sightseeing also great around the restaurant. Most of the serving staff were happy, cheerful, lots of friendly chat xx. We really looked forward to meals. The beach was wonderful, small, clean, safe, snorkelling was great, much better than other more expensive, ‘sought after’ beaches. Down side the public transport was not good, bad timings and nothing middle of the day so we had to hire a car but that was ok, lots of sightseeing x Definitely for younger families who were really looked after, our ‘tweenager’ was unimpressed by the evening entertainment We loved our holiday here xx thank you Stefano for your staff’s none stop efforts

Overall, a good experience and an enjoyable 1 week stay here with our young family. I will start with the positives: FOOD! the food was delicous, every single evening without fail. It was way beyond the standard we expected before arriving, and we were pleasantly surprised! There was lots of choice, even enough to satisfy our fussy toddler! CHILDRENS ENTERTAINMENT The highlight of our sons evening, dancing on stage with Pluto. They absolutely loved it! Although it was samey and the entertainiment starts late (9.15pm) it is also catered more for Italian speakers, which was the same for the poolside entertainment, but it didnt stop our sons from enjoying it. POOLS - A nice size adult pool and a smaller, shallow one for the younger children. A lot of the Italians take their siestas from 1-4pm so if you visit at these times it will be nice and quiet! but gets busy later in the afternoon. LOCATION - Beutiful location but we struggled being so far out with young children, getting them to walk anywhere is a challenge, Its about 20 min walk into Cannigione and you can double that with little legs in tow and in the heat! we decided to hire a car for a few days to make life easier and to allow us to explore a bit more. AMMENITIES - Dissapointed in the room ammenities, no kettle, no cups, no iron, not a lot really! a bottle of water on arrival would go a long way. My husband had to walk for an hour in the heat to get some water for the room as soon as we had arrived after a long journey. STAFF - There were a few bar staff that were friendly, but we found the majority to be a bit cold towards us, wasnt sure if its because we are British, but my husband speaks Italian fairly fluently! BEACH- The beach which is a short walk from the hotel isnt the best, i would reccommend a visit to Cala Lena which is a 3 minute drive from the hotel and much nicer! BAR - A good selection of drinks but its pricey, and they run up a tab and charge it to your room so its hard to know if its right or not at checkout unless you itemise every single thing you have purchased! our final bill seemed a bit excessive to me. Overall, a nice stay with our family, we would return but would prepare better next time to make life easier.

“Family hotel in beautiful location”

The hotel is aimed at families, and has a fabulously committed Mini club and entertainment team. Aurora and Amira were so lovely to our daughter, Samuela’s aqua gym is very good and the shows whilst in Italian were fun and enjoyable.

The hotel is aimed at families, and has a fabulously committed Mini club and entertainment team. Aurora and Amira were so lovely to our daughter, Samuela’s aqua gym is very good and the shows whilst in Italian were fun and enjoyable. The food was great and dinner and we enjoyed plenty of the local wine they offered. It is a relaxed experience as you are allocated a table and the staff clearing tables were efficient and friendly, particularly the two men at the back who served us! WiFi is a bit iffy other than in communal areas and it is a bit of a walk into Cannigione, though it’s very pretty. The beach is lovely and sandy, though it’s cheaper to get an umbrella and use the public bit. I’d recommend using google translate to check pronunciations of places and phrases as not all locals, including bus drivers and the closest snack bar are very forgiving of you don’t speak Italian! Riva Azzura on the edge of Cannigione is a great place for ice cream, coffee, a drink or a meal.

With regard to staff ,, the cleaning staff absolutely outstanding, the restaurant staff a little more sombre, the reception staff absolutely rude and extremely unprofessional ( need training in customer relations) , the food, breakfast good , evening meal mediocre and chaotic , like a stampede every night needs some kind of system to stop what is an accident waiting to happen! The location lovely but transport links ie bus service, taxi service poor x all the public areas are well maintained and comfortable, we won’t return as we have now visited Sardinia, the shining star 🌟 of the whole visit is Shaima a lovely young lady who had a smile and courtesy every day we saw her x pity the receptionists aren’t as so , keep up the good work Shaima x ❤️
