Arbatax Park Resort Dune

This is a most magnificant site, extremely well maintained and those staying in the Dune do not have to face the terrible climb up to their rooms. Things are well-organised but one feels a little like in a dictatorship and just about tolerated by many, but not all, the staff. The price of the rooms is justifiable when one contemplates the philosophy of the owner who is providing a whole experience in Sardinian nature. It is just unfortunate that the service provided by certain otlets is most disappointing. Overall, because I took my freedom in hand, I had an excellent holiday. For those not wanting freedom there is everything on the site. There is an excellent Sushi restaurant.

I was most relieved to have only a bed and breakfast deal. Without doubt the food was a source of much discussion and disappointment. I only experienced the breakfast where sadly I could have been in Paris, Istanbul or Singapore in winter. Only winter fruits (apples, bananas oranges - all very tired since of no appeal - juices ressembled watered down cordials and frequently the coffee machined bugged during breakfast. The rest was just mass-grub. Although leaving the premesis was deemed inappropriate behaviour I got great pleasure out of escaping down to the town for the local foods (esp shellfish and local fish). The magnificant beach was difficult to access. The shuttle was always full and impossible to book more than 24 hours in advance and even then never accessible. Only through threatening could I on the final day visit it for a short stop. The highly recommended excursion inland was a rip-off. The meal experience with the shepards was a total disappointment. Although the guide was enthusiastic and very pleasant his knowledge was very limited outside the learnt text. The lack of a retail outlet for lunches at the beach is a pity, and 3.40 Euros for a can of coke in the 'shop' is scandalous.

Awesome resort with gardens & views, great beach, natural park!

Food should be better & with local products. All-inclusive is a full-board + access to one bar with poor drinks, nothing more. Not too clean. Could be cheaper after all.
