This is a Relais & Chateau, and the staff is as responsive as this expects. Rooms are nice if a bit dated. Pool area is good. Spa has a whirlpool, jacuzzi, and wet & dry saunas available on request but monitored to ensure they’re not too busy. Dining was excellent. I am celiac/gluten-free and staff ensured I was kept safe. Beach facility is a short shuttle ride (on request) from the hotel. All is nicely laid out and ready. It was a bit reduced by the lateness in the season. We would visit again.

The hotel is a bit dated but they have paid excellent attention to updates. It felt a bit like being in the islands (Hawaii, Bermuda, Nevis) where the grand spots are out of touch but we’ll maintained and salt and sand are sort of fixtures. The staff were exceptional, the attention to detail very high, and the location—grounds, bar, and beach—were well manicured and lovely. It’s not in the most convenient location as Punta Als has very few restaurants (though I was there off-season) and limited commercial spaces (the one small grocery store closed at 1pm).

Servizio top e Bellini cocktail indimenticabile
Ho trascorso una splendida settimana in questo hotel, che consiglio per una vacanza rilassante ed un'esperienza sensoriale del gusto. L’hotel è ideale per coppie e anche per famiglie. Ha una palestra molto bella e ben attrezzata con Technogym. Benché la struttura sia un po’ classica, la qualità del servizio è il vero punto di forza, oltre alla bellissima spiaggia privata con canoe a disposizione e bar/ ristorante sulla spiaggia. Il servizio è il vero punto di forza, è davvero top: lo staff molto preparato e professionale, ti fa sentire coccolato e non lascia nulla al caso. L’equipe di baristi sardi: Francesco, Alessandro, Daniele sono creativi e preparano cocktail favolosi. Lasciatevi consigliare. Hanno alcune proposte “signature” molto particolari. Abbiamo provato i cocktail per l’ aperitivo, che sono accompagnati da un ricco assortimento di deliziosi stuzzichini. Il Bellini merita un applauso perché qui lo fanno in modo eccezionale, con materie prime di altissima qualità. Da provare assolutamente! Anche il ristorante merita una nota di elogio perché la carta è molto interessante e le pietanze bilanciate e gustose. Il maître sa come far sentire gli ospiti a casa col suo staff. Alla SPA ho provato i massaggi di Roberta, esperta del metodo Renata França, che consiglio vivamente per rigenerare mente e corpo e sentirsi leggeri e con la pelle compatta. Ci tornerò sicurante e spero già a settembre.

Best service ever
I recommend this hotel for a relaxing and active holiday. They provide a nice gym and some water sport facilities. There’s a beautiful golf court close by. I strongly recommend to try the restaurant and the bar for a tasty experience! The staff is very professional, they make you feel pampered and leave nothing to chance. Francesco and his team of bartenders are creative and prepare fabulous cocktails with fresh raw materials. Let them advise you. They have some very special "signature" proposals and the cocktails are accompanied by a rich assortment of delicious snacks at aperitif time. The Bellini deserves a big shout-out but the list of cocktails is long and satisfies all preferences. The restaurant deserves also a special note of merit, because the menu is very interesting and the dishes are tasty and proposed in a creative and scenographic way. Ask the maître for any advice. At the SPA I had Roberta's massages, an expert in the Renata França method, which I highly recommend. There are promotions at off-peak times. It’s been a fantastic week. I’ll surely come back.

We really enjoyed our time at this property. The restaurants and private beach are the strongest assets. The staff at the restaurant did a great job. The only con is the lack of information on timing and pricing. It’s not clear when each restaurant is open and how what the pricing felt random. We paid more when ordering less at the restaurant.

Luxuary hotel with excellent service.
This is an excellent 5 star hotel. Beautiful rooms, pool and grounds. All staff are very attentive. Good range and quality of food buffet breakfast. Buggy / minivan transfer available to beach (5 mins) which is wonderfully clean and sandy with deck chairs, sun beds and umbrellas ready for guests. Changing huts also available. Attentive life guard on duty throughout the day. Kayaks and pedalos are also available. The hotel beach-restaurant serves a wonderful array of food from pizzas to buffet with grilled fish. Wonderful puddings. We didn't eat at the hotel restaurant in the evening and found a particularly good local restaurant in the nearby urbanisation. We also explored the port area but there is little there to entice you back. The price reflects its 5 star billing; that said, we booked well in advance and got a very good deal for a stay in the middle of August.

Late Summer Break
Punta Ala is an ideal venue for a coastal vacation with all the facilities which might reasonably be expected, but with the added benefit of being within easy driving distance of some of the most remarkable hilltop towns in Italy. It would be difficult to find fault in the hotel facilities, but it is only right to particularly note the key highlights of the hotel, which includes the extremely diligent, helpful and attentive staff, high standard of the food offer and the relaxation afforded by all the Public Areas, such as the piano bar, pool terraces and gardens. We will return.

Ein Verwöhnwochenende für alle Sinne
Aufenthalt im Hotel äußerst angenehm. Sehr persönlichen Empfang, aber auch Zwischendurchbegegungen mit der Familie der Besitzer. Einzigartiges, ja schon künstlerisches Samstagsbuffet am Abend mit kulinarischen Verwöhneinheiten. Zuvorkommender Service, Höflichkeit und Aufmerksamkeit stehen im Vordergrund. Auch sehr kinderfreundliches Hotel in dem sich die Kleinen sehr wohl fühlen.

Gutes Hotel mit sehr schönem Pool und Garten
Das Hotel ist an sich gut, aber etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Man sollte den Charme des vergangenen Jahrhunderts mögen. Aber die Ausstattung ist OK. Das Frühstück ist sehr gut, man sitzt schön auf der Terrasse. Die Restaurantleistung ist in Ordnung, vielleicht noch ausbaufähig. Der Strand ist schön, muss aber extra bezahlt werden und ist recht teuer. Konkret hätten wir uns eine separate Dusche gewünscht, eine Umkleidekabine und eine warme Dusche beim Pool (sollte doch für ein 5-Sterne-Hotel nicht allzu schwierig sein) sowie eine gastfreundlichere Preispolitik, was die Einrichtungen am Strand angeht. Der Pool ist auf jeden Fall traumhaft.

Pessimo rapporto qualità prezzo
Non ci siamo trovati affatto bene in questo hotel che è rimasto fermo agli anni settanta, sia come arredo, che come frequentazione, che come atmosfera. Per essere un hotel a 5 stelle è davvero vecchio! Sembra di stare a casa della nonna. Non è sulla spiaggia, i cui servizi (ombrellone, lettini) sono a pagamento e molto cari. Unico pregio la piscina.

Chambre spacieuse, confortable et équipée comme il se doit pour un 5 étoiles. Dommage que les paillotes sur la plage étaient déjà fermé pour fin de saison. Nous avons pu garder la chambre plus tard le dernier jour. Séjour parfait.

Disappointing experience, staff often rude and acting as if they are paying you to stay there and not the other way around. A can do attitude is absent and simple requests rejected, such as a wish to order from the hotel restaurant menu and have that brought up to the room instead of having to order from the in-room menu. No, is not an answer you expect when staying in a 5 star hotel. Furthermore hotel policies, such as no ordering from the hotel restaurant to your room, should be disclosed upon arrival. An attitude of superiority and plain snobbery is not what you expect from staff. The room was ok, but you also do not expect two single beds pushed together to make a queen sized bed! Anyway, so much attitude but little delivered.

costo totalmente spropositato rispetto al servizio
E' veramente un peccato che in Italia ci siano ancora queste modalità di gestione, speculare sulla natura. Trovo assurdo che sia consentito praticare determinati prezzi, a maggior ragione quando il servizio non è sicuramente allineato alla spesa. Ma qui probabilmente l'errore è solo nostro e dei clienti che nonostante tutto continuano ad usufruire e pagare certe cifre, e farsi prendere in giro. A prescindere dai soldi che hai, è una questione morale. Sapevo di aver speso molto per la camera (330 euro), mi aspettavo però un servizio extra lusso...con tale prezzo!!!!!Ho girato molti alberghi e quella stanza sarebbe stata da 70 a notte, metti la posizione posso arrivare a 120 ma veramente non di più. Per non parlare del costo richiesto a persona per un pranzo sulla spiaggia (un'insalata 50 euro!!!??!!). Peccato che l'Italia sia ancora tanto indietro.
