Le Saline Holidays from AU$771

Hotel is in a beautiful area, great view from the restaurant and our balcony. The breakfast was also very good. Food and service at the restaurant could definitely be better. Hotel needs a little love but overall very clean and upcoming.

Le personnel est toujours très attentionné, la propreté est en premier plan au lever du jour jusqu’au coucher en finissant avec un petit chocolat. Passé un très bon séjour. Merci à l’équipe du tonnerre.

We had a warm welcome and the hotel looked fantastic. During our stay the staff were most helpful with directions, reservations and advice on ferry booking etc. Our room was nice, really clean and well maintained. However, we felt unable to use the pool and the sunbeds because after sitting by the pool on the first day we were unable to sit and enjoy as other residents with large groups of children were so noisy and screaming. I appreciate children make noise when they play but we came for peace and quiet and this was not the place for that. The hotel had a lovely restaurant, good breakfast and great service.

Hotel dei Pini has an unbeatable location — private beach, gorgeous sea views, and just a 15-minute drive to the beautiful town of Alghero. The breakfast was lovely and the staff warm and welcoming, which goes a long way. That said, for the price of a sea view triple room, the experience didn't quite match the 4-star billing. The rooms are comfortable enough but feel more like a solid 3-star — beds are decent without being particularly restful, and there are no in-room amenities you'd typically expect at this level: no robes, no glasses, no conditioner or body lotion. The wifi was also consistently unreliable, which is a basic expectation at any hotel these days. The moment that really stood out (and not in a good way) was receiving a formal written notice from the resort about a travel iron we'd brought — unplugged and sitting on a surface. We understood the safety concern, but the tone felt surprisingly stern for a property that otherwise prides itself on hospitality. A friendly word from a staff member would have gone a long way. The location and beach are genuinely special, and if you're looking for a relaxing base near Alghero with beautiful surroundings, it delivers on that front. But if you're expecting full 4-star amenities and value to match the room rate, you may leave feeling a little underwhelmed.
