Hotel Grand Relais Dei Nuraghi

Here’s a draft for your review of the Grand Relais: I recently stayed at the Grand Relais, and while the property itself was in good condition, my overall experience was disappointing. For one, the hotel is very expensive—three drinks cost me a staggering 99 euros. The dinner service was particularly poor. On my first night, I ordered a steak that came out rare, and they attempted to cook it at the table using a stone. However, the stone wasn't hot enough, so it took ages to cook, and eventually, I sent it back, only to receive an overcooked, well-done steak in return. Housekeeping was generally okay, but I found it frustrating that they didn’t replace the gowns unless specifically asked, and they didn’t mop the floors. The hard marble flooring meant my feet were constantly dirty from walking around the room. As for the staff, they were superficially polite, with a few exceptions, but overall, the service lacked warmth or genuine hospitality. Given the high cost and lacklustre service, I would not stay here again.

Excelente estadia Hotel maravilhoso, serviço muito bom e quartos espaçosos. Apenas duas ressalvas, poderia ter uma academia e uma música ambiente na área da piscina durante o dia.

Joli endroit intimiste et calme, les chambres sont très moyennes comparativement au prix facturé. On serait plutôt sur un 3 étoiles

Hotel spotless, free room upgrade which was amazing, beach, pool and views all beautiful. Staff friendly. Breakfast was nice but Not much choice for food during the day.

Stayed at the Gran Relais Dei Nuraghi for our honeymoon for 10 days. Must say that the excellent staff are what make this a 5 star hotel. Everyone is so helpful and friendly. Our room had a large garden area to sit out in although the weather was very mixed for our stay which was from the 8th September. The room was cleaned daily and was very comfortable. On the rainy days we tried to watch tv but found the tv menu totally un fathomable so used my iPad to watch stuff on YouTube. A lot of rain on the 2nd day and got quite chilly in the evenings. The breakfast was very good with a good varied choice from cereal to eggs Benedict. We ate at the restaurant on 2 occasions and could not fault the food and service, especially by Ernesto the Maitre d’ who was very professional and friendly. Most nights there was a pianist playing in the lobby bar area which could be heard out by the pool. The private beach is just a short walk away and has a small bar and sun beds by the beach. The pool area is really nice but the water was very cold. It’s about a 15 minute walk to the nearest village of Baja. You pass by Foodie restaurant on the way which is well worth a visit. In Baja there are several restaurants which were all ok. The only one I would say to avoid was Corbezzolo which wasn’t good at all but maybe we went on an ‘off night’ On each Wednesday we were there there was live music in the area by the main restaurants, a mix of modern music and traditional Sardinian. Made the mistake of not booking a hire car from the airport (Olbia), as we expected there to be a hire car office in Baja or a visiting representative from Jet2 at the hotel which there was neither, so hired one through the hotel which was extremely expensive but as it was our honeymoon…🤦‍♂️😂 Hired a mini convertible for 3 days and visited Alghero which was about a 3 hour drive due to roadworks and traffic. If you go there make sure you also take the coast road down to Bosa which has stunning views along the way. We also went to Olbia for one of the days which is also recommended once you find somewhere to park. Use the free car park close to the ferris wheel. Visited a couple of beaches on another day but the weather wasn’t great so didn’t stay. Think we were lucky that Phi Beach party beach had closed down for the season so we didn’t experience any of the noise that others have commented on. We did walk down to Phi Beach but were met by an extremely large and aggressive security guard who made it clear that we were not welcome there! Overall this was a very nice hotel and we intended to return someday. Sardinia is a stunning island that also requires several more visits.

The Grand Relais Dei Nuraghi is a very special place. There are different room options and they are all secluded with privacy from other guests. The breakfast was amazing with plenty of fresh fruit, pastries and breads as well as freshly cooked options.
