MClub Budoni

A few of the reception staff were very helpful which was greatly appreciated! Warm welcome. The tui reps seem to be around alot of the time which is great but they weren't very helpful! One didn't really know much about the area and wasn't very forthcoming to gather answers from anywhere else. Also not many of the excursions offer hotel pick up which could be a problem as the hotel is far from anything really! It cost €110 for a 20 minute trip. The bus route isn't the best,the only option would be renting a car which can work out quite expensive. On the plus side it's a nice place if you literally want nothing to do, nice to have a quiet beach the food was nice! Could of been more organzation which no clean tables available when going to eat. As this is only May I dread to think what it would be like peak season. The rooms were very authentic which was lovely, although the wardrobe had a strong mould smell so nothing was put in it the duration of the trip. Also skirting on the bottom bed would of been a nicely touch too. Overall It was a nice place but very average.

The cooking class was really informative, a lot of fun and the food was delicious. Thank you Exec Chef Lillo and the lovely Spanish TUI Rep who did an awesome job of translating for us!

The grounds of this hotel are beautiful and very well maintained. My room was spacious and comfortable for me. The bathroom was good. The room was kept very clean all week by the lovely cleaner. I was in one of the rooms beyond the tennis courts. I liked the pool, it was crowded at times but also not so much at other times. The beach by the hotel isn't the best Sardinia has to offer if you are able to walk 15-30 mins along the coast to the left and the right you will find some really lovely beaches with beautiful clear water my favourites were Cala Cuppetti, Spiaggia di Porto Ottiolu and Spiaggia Salamaghe Budoni (and having a drink at Sala Bay Beach Bar)... I would really recommend exploring beyond the hotel beach. Also hiring a car or going on the TUI excursions to other beaches. The food was what you would expect from an all inclusive buffet. I found that there were lots of fresh and healthy options as well foods to cater to 'brits abroad' taste (chips!). There was always some lovely pasta options and seafood/fish which I enjoyed. The pool bar was good, they were always happy to fill my bottle with water and ice. I am not a big alcohol drinker myself but people seemed happy with what was on offer. The food truck by the pool was great. I only got a few very small mosquito bites during the week, although I don't tend to sit out in the evening when they are about. However do bring repellent. I would recommend bringing a plug cable as there is only one socket.. I read this advice on here and it was good advice! You should definitely take a walk around the local nature reserve forrest park if you are able.. its very tranquil and beautiful views.. see 'Parco del Sole' on the map which is left along the beach. Make sure you look out for flamingos in 'Stagno Li Cucutti' I was lucky enough to spot a few. The staff were friendly and helpful. The TUI reps were also great.

Fabulous week in a beautiful hotel. Staff wonderful. Food great and varied, do try the pizzeria near the beach too. Rooms typically Sardinian decor and very functional. Drinks all served fresh (nothing pre-made), never had to queue for very long. Entertain very laid back and family focused. It is a little remote, nothing close by but if you do rent a car or visit outwith the very high summer temperatures, do walk to Port Ottilou as it’s beautiful, lots of fabulous restaurants around the harbour. We also took the day trip to Corsica which was a long day (12 hour round trip) but very much worth it, Bonifacio is stunning; again lots of fabulous eateries in the harbour area and also at the top (take the mini train to get to the top). We also did the Costa Smeralda/Puerto Cervo trip which included a trip to the beach at Baia Sardinia which was reminiscent of the Maldives, crystal clear water and soft sand. Would highly recommend this hotel and also suggest either hiring a car or doing a couple of trips to really appreciate this beautiful island. We only wished we could have stayed longer 💕
