“Beautiful Hotel”

We had a wonderful stay at Abi D’oru! The hotel is beautiful and very clean. The beach is gorgeous. All the staff are very kind and friendly. The restaurants were all delicious! We hope to make it back!

We went for one week on 24th May. The Staff are 6 star The staff were extremely friendly and would go the extra mile for you. Unfortunately the hotel had only just opened for the season hence some staff were very unexperienced & communication amongst themselves caused slower service, this will obviously improve over the coming weeks. We think some of the management decisions leave a lot to be desired. Beach Jetty being worked on resulting in noise, this should have been done before the hotel opened on 15th May. No pizza available anywhere in the hotel, what a stupid decision. The 2026 opening launch on Saturday 30th May resulting in all the guests could not use the beach restaurant, the launch was more important to the owners than their guests, the launch should have been done before the hotel opened. The below are our opinions The Hotel & Facilities are 5 star The Beach & Amazing crystal clear waters are 5 star The Trattoria del Pescatore (Beach restaurant) is 5 star Mediterraneo restaurant is 4 star Tzia Maria restaurant is 3.5 star The rooms are spotless & the cleaning staff are excellent Please note that the service can be very slow at times, the drinks are very expensive (12 Euros for a 330ml bottle of beer) Uber cost 27 Euros to travel 2.8 miles Although all the staff were amazing, a big shout out & thank you to Matteo Bertelli, Front Office Manager Letisha (Beach restaurant) Giancarlo & Leonardo (beach attendants) Young lady at the pool towels.

“Fantastic Experience”

Me and my, now husband, stayed here at the end of September into the first week of October for our belated honeymoon. It was very quiet and extremely clean. BEACH The private beach here was absolutely incredible! I've never known a sea so crystal clear, the sand was also very clear with hardly any large stones and seaweed. I imagine the team clear away a large portion of any seaweed, although, it'd not exactly seaweed like you would normally get in the med, it was more little flakes of it. The team that provide towels and sunbeds are so very helpful. Taking you to a sunbed that you would prefer and setting it all out for you :-) We visited the beach bar, which was rather expensive, albeit I've been told is the going rate for the area, but something to consider when only going B&B. POOL The pool again, incredibly clean and very quiet. With members of the staff aiding with towels and getting sunbeds ready. Pool bar is great for getting some light lunch, with the gelato and coffees being a massive hit for us. Probably the second best macchiato I've had! Deivis at the pool bar was such a lovely man, always more than happy to help with a smile and no feel that this was ever at all forced. BREAKFAST & FOOD At breakfast there is a vast array of foods available. Hot scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, beans, courgette, mushrooms, sausage etc, with the option of having eggs cooked in a variety of ways, including an omelette. A wealth of fruit, cereals and yoghurts too. With the main attraction being the pastry selections, croissants, pain au chocs, vanilla filled rolls - just so many to be able to remember, but they were delightful. We treated ourselves to an evening meal at the Mediterraneo restaurant, it was 80 euros per person, for a 4 course meal. For starters there is a buffet style array of foods, followed by first course, second course and dessert. It was by far one of the best 4 course sittings I have had the opportunity to experience. All savoury food dazzled my taste buds. BUT the dessert, oh.my.gosh - food for the soul!! I would like to mention a particular lady called Debby, who was the most friendly there! I can't say I'm used to a 5 star hotel and she never ever made me feel inadequate or judged, always a smile on her face and very approachable. LOCATION You are located away from any supermarkets, with the closest being in Marinella, which is around a 15 minute walk away. There weren't masses of trinket shops around, but part of that was probably due to us arriving as the season was closing down. Porto Rotondo is around a 50 minute walk away, although the hotel does offer a shuttle van, which operates outwards twice in the morning and twice in the afternoon. Again, this might be different at other points in the holiday season. Also, this is the closest area that has a pharmacy, so just something to note. There is a train station very close by, however the trains did not operate all that frequently - again could be due to being at the tail end of the season. However again, very very clean! Taco's are rather expensive, to get to Olbia from the hotel was around 60 euros for a 20 minute ride - it is the going rate, so not something out of kilter. But something to consider when travelling to Sardinia as a whole. Has to be said, that the hotel is great, without a shadow of a doubt I would have placed this at 5 stars, and would have been a strong 4.5, the only slight downfall was the location - which is something I probably should have researched beforehand.

“Has Potential, Expect More from Five Star”

I booked Hotel Abi d’Oru expecting a seamless 5-star experience, but several aspects were disappointing. The good: – Breakfast offered plenty of options and was excellent. – The beach was beautiful, with chairs and towels readily available. – All of the hotel’s restaurants served great food with attentive service. – The restaurant and beach staff were consistently polite, helpful, and quick to assist. The bad: – On arrival, the room lock was broken. Maintenance partially fixed the bolt, but the electronic exterior lock was loose and couldn’t be properly repaired. Unfortunately, no alternative rooms were available. – Management was dismissive when addressing issues, which negatively affected the stay. – The fire alarm went off at 11 p.m. during my stay, which was very disruptive. – Housekeeping didn’t consistently replenish toiletries, so I had to call for basic items. – Housekeeping occasionally removed our robes without replenishing, which was inconvenient. – The gym wasn’t usable in the morning, as the power had been switched off. – For laundry, the only option for pressing a shirt was a full wash-and-iron service (around $20 per shirt). There were no irons available for guests, and only one communal steamer, quite limiting for a 5-star property. – The beach area had persistent solicitation from local sellers, and the hotel didn’t seem to manage it. – The drinks are overpriced, though that’s somewhat expected at a resort of this level. Overall: The property has potential, but operational issues like these detract from the experience. At a five star level, I expected better preparation, consistency, and guest support.
