Dubai, United Arab Emirates48 contributions1 helpful vote
Now....if you're into vintage , poor customer service and not very high on updated to the day type of resort this is for you! However if you expect a 4 star type of hotel, as rated, this is far from any star! No internet outside reception area and that of very low quality Food was average, however you can get fed with a lot of sortiments on that level! The room was on the 70's type of vibe ever since was built and you can swear by the fact that no upgrades have been done since. No iron facility and neither a solution when asked what can we do about that?! We had to ask where is the supermarket to actually buy one. The could were there 24/ 7 and you could see that's their working schedule as well! They were doing their best with whatever they could do considering their facilities and training . Mostly young students with little or no experience in customer service.

Dear Claudia, Club Esse trusts with the highest expectations in the stories of its beloved guests, it is necessarily by reading those words that we find the dreams and desires of those who choose to spend their precious time with us, it is necessarily by reading those words that within our possibilities we are on the right path to fulfill them. Sometimes we are confronted with opinions that are so distant from each other that they seem to refer to different structures, but simply different points of view and souls speak with a different voice, sometimes even about the same things. We transcribe and translate in full a review that recently appeared on Google, relating to a stay at the same time as yours, to offer a different point of view on the same things we mentioned before. "Simply spectacular, 10/10 entertainment, excellent cuisine and location...well we are in Sardinia...I'll tell you that...beautiful holiday. Activities nearby: Many coves to visit both by boat and reachable by car, a must see. Rooms: 5/5. Service: 5/5. Location: 5/5. Hotel highlights: Great view, Romantic, Quiet and Child friendly." It almost seems like an advertising text, right? In reality it is simply the story of a group of our beloved guests like you that rewards us with top marks. It can be read and trusted as you can your words, we do not make differences and we do not exclude anyone, but we are ready to welcome all our present, past and future beloved guests with open arms. Best regards.

Hotel's Favourite
We were a family of four and looking for a beautiful location, which had enough amenities to offer, while also having a tranquil and restful space to enjoy our holiday. The resort gave us this and more! I found all staff to be very helpful and friendly, especially as I made an effort to try and speak Italian! Nothing was ever too much trouble and we received help whenever we needed it. The restaurant staff at Il Borgo were particularly helpful, very kind- even helping us when my husband had a sea urchin injury- thank you so much! The music on the top terrace in the evening was magical and Gio the musician was exceptional! I will miss walking through the beautifully maintained grounds in the morning and walking down the steps to the pebble beach. The vista was exceptional and sun rise not to be missed! The town is lovely- not commercial in the slightest- such a lovely vibe- very authentic. We loved exploring the many seaside restaurants in the early evening. Overall a fabulous holiday and we hope to return one day!

Nice location, really good beach spot, at walking distance to the village and boat rentals. Great people in the bar and restaurant and the worst food ever… dinners and lunches not well cooked, or with no flavor. Food stations with long lines, food not enough and not being replaced. The only positive note is to the bartenders and people in the restaurant, always looking to please my family stay in this hotel.

The quality of the hotel is basic level for the price. Air conditioning stopped working while it was 40C outside. Impossible to sleep. Service is inefficient and arrogant. They are sorry and this is it. Food quality is also not to the level you would expect in Italy for the price.

We are very sorry that you have not informed our collaborators regarding your room, they would have offered you the most suitable solution to meet your expectations and your tastes.

So many things may be done much better. Ask yourself: Would you spend your holidays with your family like this? I read so many apologies in the reviews, I thought this can't ne true. But, we are here and all its true. One can say, the Beach. Ok, but this is no made by this Place, this was nature. We paid, and now we go outside for breakfast abd dinner. Places outside are excellent. Feel sorry for your stuff, they look unhappy and very stressed. They have to be sorry all the time, be honest, stuff is not leading this place. I think sometimes the stuff even lie to cover you, I know, you need the job. Test for Management: -Sit yourself in the dining room and try to get a clean glas. Adventure -Have breakfast and try to get a Capuccino, machines always broke. And the taste? Have yourself a go -Cook in the front, no one waers a chef's hood. -Chairs, have a seat with your new clothes? Like it? I doubt...

Asuncion, Paraguay3 contributions
Hello, We had a horrible experience at Palmasera. Once we got there after driving to Cala Golone for 8 hours, no one would take our luggage to the room. Coming all the way from Paraguay to Europe for a month, we have a lot of luggage. There was no warning in the reservation or description that said it was not accessible with luggage. My boyfriend was waiting outside to be able to park the car inside, they asked me for the license plate to register him because the camera “automatically” let the cars in by license plate. He waited there a long time, it did not work. I went to the lobby a total of 3 times to have them to register our license plate. Our whole stay, we had to get out of the car, go to reception and ask for someone to open the gate. At no point during our stay, did the gate work automatically. Back to the check in. After they made us pay a total amount of 50 euros on several different concepts we go to look for our room at night, in the dark and with 2 25 kg luggage’s and 2 10kg carry-ons. Once we were looking for the rooms we understood why no one wanted to help with the luggage’s. These were steep hills and hundreds and hundreds of stairs. Not only did they NOT HELP or even give us a heads up that it would be a hell of a lot of work to get our things up to our room, they also told us we COULD NOT use the carello portabagagli or the bellman luggage porters. We used them anyway because it was physically impossible without it. We had just arrived from a long travel and it was 10pm at night. We looked everywhere for the room with all of our luggage’s and could not find it. So I go back to the reception and ask them to at least come with us to show us where it is. A girl came up with us, she did not offer her help with our things and honestly I do not blame her because it was a LOT of physical effort. She could not find the room either. At this point I was really angry so I ask to speak to the manager. I go talk to the manager and tell him that the LEAST they could do was take our things to our rooms (if it exists) considering they made me pay about 30 euros for “service,” whatever that means. He was confused and he asked me again about the charge. He looked at the girl in the reception and asks her for our check in document. The paper had traces of writing that had been ERASED, for the total of 50 euros that I paid. It was so obvious and he was ashamed so he said sorry and gave me 50 euros back. The girl in the reception just decided she was going to charge me an amount for a concept that didn’t even exist and then erase the evidence from out check out paper. Turned out, the signaling of the rooms was WRONG, that’s why we could find the room and neither could they. Once they finally found it, and we saw how far up a mountain it was we knew we could not take our luggages up there. I asked the manager to please change room and he told me none we available. When we were looking for our room around the whole property, I saw at least 10 empty rooms that easier to get to. So I asked him for a refund, since we could not access the room with our luggage’s. He said we were welcome to look for another place but no refund would be made. We parked the car and had to open up our luggage’s in the parking and look for essentials like pijamas and toothbrushes to only take that to the room. I still asked the manager to change rooms tomorrow if possible. He said he would let me know, we did not hear from him again in our whole stay.

Dear Guests, thank you for choosing to spend time with Club Esse. We have read the detailed account of your experience with great attention and apologize to you for the inconvenience. The characteristics of the structure and the particular needs that accompany your long journey have contributed together to generate many difficulties. The Resort is structured like a small traditional village that climbs the hill and even for our collaborators it can be difficult to find a room without sunlight, however this information should not represent a novelty upon arrival because it is indicated with precision in every channel that hosts us. As for your luggage, we could have done a little more if we had been warned in advance about its extraordinary size compared to what our regular guests usually carry with them. As regards the payment of the services that was refunded to you, there was a simple misunderstanding, it concerned the services of the Club that you had not chosen during the booking phase and that our collaborator mistakenly thought you wanted to add once you arrived at the Resort. We are sorry that your experience with Club Esse started off on the wrong foot. We cordially greet you in the hope of being able to welcome you again with open arms and totally overturn your first impressions.

We have just (sadly) returned from an amazing 10 nights here. I would highly recommend it. We have been to a lot of places but if you like Italy and Italian good and culture, this is a hidden gem. Its also great for families. Antonio, one of the managers is an asset to Club Esse and made our holiday. I used to work in hospitality and so I did raise a couple of things as I noticed him, outside of work hours in the dining hall and walking around the complex to check all was opening up smoothly, but he was so grateful for the feedback and within minutes any little thing, shortage of condiments or a slight queue for something was sorted. he leads his team exceptionally and really understands customer service. We came before the main season fully was up and running, which was reflected in the price we paid, and we knew would be not everything open, but I couldn't have really noticed. We opted for Dinner Bed and breakfast, which was all you would hope for in Italy. At breakfast unlimited fresh pastries, ciabatta, cheese, salami, ham with some gorgeous scrambled eggs, peach and cherry jams, yoghurt, and wow make sure you try and hot chocolate!!! We got local wine and beer at lunch and dinner and it was really nice and lovely that it was from the region we were staying in, ive paid for bottles costing a lot of money that tasted no where near as nice. The days before we arrived there had been substantial rain in the area, luckily for us we had 10 days of uninterrupted hot sunshine! however there was a problem with our room/ plumbing due to the rain, and the management couldn't have been more helpful, they had prepared an upgrade and gave us options of other rooms, in the exclusive area with a private pool! The restaurant had a few glitches as they had just opened and there were some new staff, but nothing, and I mean NOTHING was too much trouble. Every day there was multiple types of fresh pasta - as you would expect, with prawns, salami, salmon, you name it. Risotto Milano, local Sardinian Fregola (small beads of pasta) as well as local typical Sardinian pasta dishes. The only thing I would say is the shorter restaurant manager (I think) who led in the Exclusive restaurant was a little set in his ways it seemed, not unfriendly we had nice chats, but maybe he thought I was just being fussy. I possibly was. But preferred personally the variety of buffet options in the main hall than the table service he offered In exclusive, which I think he thought was odd, but the children wanted more variety. Cala gonne is simply stunning, white beaches and pure clear waters. There is a free private part of the beach just for the Palmasera resort. There are some steps and a sloap so maybe not suitable for people with access issues, maybe in the summer there is a shuttle, we did have to list the buggy, but we enjoyed eating guilt free pasta after the exercise, or you could take the main road by the Pine Bar with a lesser incline. As a treat we ate at San Francisco Restaurant, which was very good quality and the Gelato next door amazing. (its attached to the San Francisco hotel) We travelled with 3 children, a fussy 10 year old, 8 year old and 18 month old. They opened up the baby room and ensured there were fresh yoghurts, milk and baby food for us. We did pay a little towards this, but could access 24/7 to heat up and get food for our son and feed him privately if we wished. Or he was welcome at the dinner hall, where everyone made a fuss of him! We did have a slight issue when it got busier as people were sneaking in and taking all the free yoghurts and baby food, but by the next morning, they had a key system only for those with little people to be able to access the key from reception. One main pool lots of sun loungers, baby pool, terrace bar (extra cost and not the cheapest, we found drinks in the centre to be more reasonable), amphitheatre, evening music and entertainment, kids club and entertainers. The waiting staff were excellent, of note, Sebastiano in particular, as well as Arianna and a couple of others (mail waiter with the pony tail) I am sorry we didn't catch your name as you were so busy looking after every one. The reception staff must also get a mention, as they were so helpful, friendly and polite. Also worth visiting is the Aquarium in Cala Gonone which is 5 minutes walk, its not huge but lovely the its not overly commercialised like Sealife centres etc. We all sure new species we had never heard of that were interesting. We also visited 'Parco Museo S'abba Frisca' which I have left a separate review for. it is a family farm, with rare animals and a guided tour of Sardinian traditions, farming and the history of the site set on a natural spa. its amazing and the tour guide told us so much interesting information. Afterwards you can try home Mae lemonade with lemons from the garden and platters of local meats and cheese for a little extra, Really lovely couple of hours. We hired a car and it was 1.5 hours from Olbia air port, it was a very simple drive, however be minded some of the last few roads down the mountain are a little winded. We were so sad to leave and would go back in a heart beat. check it out, its a rare gem. For the money, food and drink included and location, well worth a visit.
