Hotel Punta Negra

The hotel itself was very nice. Clean and well maintained set on the outskirts of a national park. The gardens and swimming pools were lovely. We had a sea view room which did look directly out to the sea. The balcony was very small and the room very basic. No tea/coffee making facilities. They also make it very clear that you cannot put your own items in the fridge due to health and safety -really!!!! We booked through Tui on half board basis for 7 nights. I really wouldn’t have wanted to stay any longer. The hotel lacked a holiday vibe as did the nearest village which was dirty with rubbish and felt neglected. The reception staff were helpful and could speak English. The bar staff were very attentive and the drinks were good and not too overpriced. Some of the waiting staff were polite and friendly but many didn’t speak English and could be quite rude. The photos show beautiful a la carte food but I would say these are deceiving. I had 2 bad meals where I couldn’t eat the food. By the time the waiters came round it was too late to ask for anything to be done. The veg were cold every night and sometimes a very weird combination. I wouldn’t book half board. The breakfast had a reasonable amount of variety but very strict with opening time of 8 am but the cooked food which was very limited was on the hot plate at 7.30am!! This hotel had a lot of coach bookings coming in every 1-2 days so this did impact on food service. And finally it’s right under a flight path which we didn’t realise at the time of booking because most flights go into Olbia and it’s a long coach transfer

I’ll start with the positives, very clean lovely swimming pools, great gardens and friendly bar staff. Unfortunately now the negatives not a great location unless you like plane spotting, right at the end of Fertilia airport runway! But the biggest disappointment was the food, clearly no chef to be seen, under cooked meat and cold vegetables!! Also the waiting staff have no idea what they’re supposed to be doing and boarding on rude at times! Breakfast was very disappointing with little variety, and was very shocked to see that it was left standing 30 minutes before the start time of the breakfast, including the so called hot service option? It’s very sad to have to put such a negative review, but if the manager/owner spent more time looking after his paying guests than entertaining his friends it could be a great place to stay?? Finally if you like your food stay away!!
