Hotel Colonna Resort

Overall ok, but as a resort it should offer more activities, like aqua gym, good lively music, entertainment, beach clubs, excursions and more. We were on our honeymoon and a personalised touch from the staff would have made a difference. we had to call reception to ask for our Prosecco offered by the hotel and in the end, it was charged on the bill at full price, which then was removed

The Colona Resort is a fantastic place. It showcases the best of the best! Sardegna, and Porto Cervo in particular, should be very proud and fortunate to include this marquise property on their maps. They earned it! Pierre K

Great location left of Porto Cervo (overlooking at the sea), stunning view from the resort, large hotel but still discrete and private. Excellent architecture, the very large resort fits well in the landscape enriching rather than ruining it. Largest pool area in a resort in Europe (four large beautiful pools on the sea side). The resort has a beach, which is rather narrow but well protected from the mistral wind which is dominant in Sardinia. A wooden pier with sunbeds and direct access to the water is also available on the left side of the beach. The pool area and the beach are well managed, they open at 8 am and close at 8 pm which gives you plenty of time to enjoy your holiday. For lunch and drinks, there is also a snack bar (where you also can have a quick lunch) behind the pool area with outside tables and great view over the pools and the sea as well as an internal lunch buffet restaurant with no view. The dining restaurant has also an excellent sea view, yet the quality of the food changes from one day to the other. Sometimes good, sometimes not satisfactory. Besides, they have a strange way to sit guests at the restaurant. When you arrive the first time, you will probably not receive a table outside, you have to wait some time that other guests leave at the end of their vacation and then you will become eligible for a table outside which will be yours until the end of your stay. In the meantime, you have to stay inside (this might be one evening in average) which is not beautiful and quite loud. We were lucky and received a table outside the first day, we only had to wait 30 minutes at the bar (terrace with a stunning view over the sea). At breakfast, instead, there is the principle "first come first served". They have not enough sun umbrellas at the breakfast restaurant, thus if you do not rush early in the morning you will be grilled by the sun. The breakfast buffet is of good quality. Staff is friendly and efficient, both at the restaurant and elsewhere. The gym is large enough but the equipment is old and needs replacement. The air conditioning in the gym is often switched off, no idea why. We had a relatively small room with sea view and a tiny balcony but we booked very late. There are two nice shops in the resort which sell McBarth cloth and swim wear. Overall a very nice resort, we had a great stay but the restaurant quality at dinner and the gym need improvement.
