Residence Liscia Eldi

Very good!

I was sceptical about coming here because of the previous mixed reviews, but we had no problem at meal times as the food was frequently being replenished. The cleaners come daily to service the room to a good standard. So perhaps they have listened to the previous feedback. So I now will talk about our experience- the check in was slow and painful but apparently all the staff are brand new. We were given NO information about the hotel, the area or the facilities. Just hit with a bill for €84 for the tax, which we were not told about previously. They even charged us for the 2 children. Thank goodness the safe was free of charge. The room was tiny and tired. With mismatched furniture and a hair dryer that was from the 90’s which barely worked. However the air conditioning was great. When I first tried to have a shower there was no hot water. So this resulted in me getting dressed and walking all the way to reception to report the issue. Maintenance came out and did something and informed me that we would have to run the water for at least 5 minutes every time we wanted a shower before it would become warm due to us being at the end. This is ironic as there are signs saying that water is precious in Sardinia so do not waste it. That’s why they put the sprinklers on daily at 4am in the morning, which woke us all up as the water hits the patio area and door. We did complain about this and they adjusted it so it actually watered the grass, but then sounded like a running tape outside so it continued to wake us up. The final problem with the accommodation was that the toilet broke on our last evening, they never did come and fix it, this was not pleasant. The actual resort is nice with strong Wi-Fi everywhere, even in your room. It is a 20min walk into town or to the nearest shop, so they do cash in on this by charging you €3 for a bottle of water, €3.50 for a 330ml can of pop & €5 for a pre-packed sandwich. Unfortunately the pool is ruined by ridiculous strict rules, that are enforced by the life guards. Swimming caps must be worn at-all times. No diving or jumping (even though it’s 3metres deep ). No balls of any size, no inflatables or lilos. The children were upset as they can’t have any fun in the pool. The animation team are a lovely friendly group. Not their fault but the evening entertainment is poor. Starts too late for families with young children and it is exactly the same every night, with the same songs in the same order. This may improve when the stage area opens later on in the season. Sardinia is beautiful and so was the weather.

We had a lovely week at TH San Teodoro. The resort can accommodate quite a few people but still feel cosy. Perfectly located to explore the nearby beaches and to access San Teodoro, with La Cinta beach a short car ride away (shuttle service is provided). The staff were great, polite and welcoming. A great place for families.
