Hotel le Dune Piscinas

Posto da sogno. Personale gentilissimo professionale. Solo estremamente tutti i servizi a pagamento. Un peccato visto il prezzo del soggiorno

If you are looking for something unique and exciting in Sardegna, this is where to stay. It's a place where luxury meets creativity and style...... not to mention all of it on one of the most naturally beautiful beaches on the island. The commitment behind the project is unmatched -- design and art and thoughtful comfort everywhere -- not to mention wonderful food.

I had seen some negative reviews of the hotel, but had also seen it on a couple of best lists, so still wanted to give it a try. Unfortunately, I left pretty disappointed. It's a journey to reach the hotel, but it's in a beautiful and unique location right on the beach. I received a room upgrade which was appreciated, and the room was very nice. However, the acoustics of the hotel are terrible, so it was very loud in the room both from outside and above. To get out to the beach, you have to walk through the nice bar downstairs, and the pool is tucked away on the other side facing the parking lot, so you have to walk back through the bar and reception to reach that, which seemed like an odd setup. You are assigned a beach chair based on your room number, which in theory is a good plan, but when I arrived later in the afternoon there were numerous chairs open and I instead had to sit a foot away from multiple couples because of my assigned chair. I was attacked by gnats as soon as I sat down, so didn't make it long out there anyway. My experience at the bar was the highlight- the bartenders were friendly and attentive, and my drink/aperitif was great. However, dinner was a disaster. When I arrived, there was no one there doing the seating so I had to wander around and try to talk to three different people before I located the hostess. I had booked for one, told her it was for one, and she still felt the need to say, "So you are alone?" When I was seated, I was not given a drink or wine list, and had to ask numerous times to receive one. No one seemed to actually be assigned a waiter to give a greeting or introduction or ask questions; instead, as I was trying to get a drink, a man just came over and asked what I wanted. I explained I was still trying to get a wine list and had not decided yet. When he came back later, I tried to ask him for some advice since I didn't have a waiter- I explained I was between the gnocchi and the linguine with clams. His response was that if I wanted fish to get the linguine- super helpful. I ordered the select three cheeses from the trolley, but rather than actually being able to select, a man just dropped off three with some spreads. When I tried to ask about making the selections, I thought he was having difficulty understanding me but instead he was just being rude and said they are pre-selected. If that is true, the menu should be clearer but at the very least they should be telling me what the cheeses and spreads are rather than just dropping them. My pasta came out before my starter had, so I again had to talk to multiple people to discover that my starter had not been ordered. I told the man what I had ordered, but then was brought out essentially a caprese salad, which was not even on the menu. I had to try and flag people down again to figure out what happened. To his credit, he took the item off my check, and I'll give him the benefit of the doubt that he was trying to give me what he thought I wanted, but
