Gorgeous resort! We enjoyed a lovely, relaxing week. (Returned home today) Ignore the snooty bad reviews. We were on a surprise honeymoon that my Dad booked us, 7 nights - half board. it wasn't adult only but I didn't feel surrounded by kids. Stunning location, grounds & nature. We stayed in the Dune room by the Palm beach / cove. Stunning. Clean rooms, yes basic but perfect for what you need. The staff are one of the resorts biggest assets. Super friendly, they speak all languages & we felt very special. Even a complimentary bottle of prosecco & meal at Monte Turi section of the resort. (Which you normally pay extra for) Thank you so much, a lovely gesture.
The food was nice & different each night. I don't know why people are complaining. We are food lovers / foodies & have even in some amazing restaurants all over the world & for a half board / all inclusive resort I think the variety & quality is excellent. I used to work at a 5* all inclusive resort in turkey run by a big British Holiday company plus I have stayed in 4/5* Caribbean resorts & Arbatax park is on par! Far nicer staff & surroundings to some Caribbean resorts. One thing that could be improved is the Spa. It's so amazingly stunning, that view & the flowers & trees around the pool but for £260 for 2 x packages,...Gorgeous resort! We enjoyed a lovely, relaxing week.

It's so amazingly stunning, that view & the flowers & trees around the pool but for £260 for 2 x packages, the treatments were weak & the price extortionate. Not the Fire package we expected. I just couldn't understand how they can describe the treatments in such lovely & luxury detail but in fact you get a basic body massage that is super soft & your face smothered in oil. The lunch is a choice of about 3 different bread rolls & very basic. (€5) It would be lovely if your lunch is included if you book a package & even if your just there for the facilities & not book a treatment €15 for a small lunch buffet would be a great idea... salads, simple meats, breads & juices/water. They could even do a little BBQ or grill section.
Water , tea & coffee + biscuit was free of charge however but I do think if they thought the spa through more it would be fantastic & people would flock there. (P.s make the spa adult only too that would be ideal)
The spa has so much potential !!
I had lots of great ideas while I lay there relaxing.
Arbatax is a wonderful resort with a kids club, entertainment (which by the way is very good, shows are very creative) lovely staff, fab food, stunning views & nature, a nature reserve/wildlife park & so many other lovely qualities.
Sardinia is stunning. We had a wonderful, relaxing week, thank you Arbatax.
