Stunning grounds, and comfortable rooms
This hotel is absolutely lovely, and the grounds smell fantastic from all of the flowers and herbal plants. The only issue we had was the fact that the alcoholic beverages were very overpriced. A glass of wine that would be between 4-8 euros elsewhere was 14-16. Cocktails were 18-25 euros. This is a small thing overall.

Great location, amazing beach. Great breakfast. Consistently terrible breakfast coffee. Need to put a bottle of free water in the room every day to make it nice.

Disappointing overall.. without a car there is nothing to walk to , it's literally isolated ..Very nice if you like a country club atmosphere. Cordial service for the most part especially the bellhops. At very nice restaurants a glass of wine is 5 or 6 euros , at local places it's 2,50, here its 12 ! Fritto misto (fried fish) at the beach restaurant was mediocre at best but at 42 euros was overall terrible being seaside they could much better than 2 sardines 2 shrimp and 4 pieces of calamari .. breakfast was nice but not great, friendly wait staff though..Overly pretentious for me , but I'd assume what some people desire . This place is all flash and no cash . Beach area is ok but not great . San Teodoro is a much nicer area with plenty of lovely restaurants and a spectacular 3-4 km long sandy beach.rooms were nice but they couldn't do anything to prevent the incessant mosquito bites don't understand why they couldn't just put some plug in repellent in the room

To say that the staff here have been excellent almost feels like an understatement. They have been welcoming, warm and genuine from the start. We heard from the staff that the owner of this hotel treats them very well, and that is reflected in the positive mood around the resort. Mr. Gatti, the GM, is a charming and thoughtful person who we met while leaving the hotel, and Maria from guest relations epitomizes the helpfulness and warmth of the staff at this hotel. The room that we stayed in was exceptional, it was beautifully decorated, clean, spacious, with a large balcony with a wonderful view over the sea. The food was out of this World and outdoor dining by the sea is idyllic. The hotel has a long white sandy beach with reserved loungers for each hotel room, parasols and towels available when required. Beautiful crystal-clear shallow waters. Kids activities every day in a playground with a great splash park throughout the day with lovely staff. I think the only negative thing about the whole experience was having to leave! It really has been more than perfect. Thank you Hotel Abi D'oru for everything. We will be back.

Not what we expected!!!😳😠
Not a place for couples !! So many things wrong with this Hotel from the old rooms with only one plug to from not being allowed to have an early swim to staff obsessed with asking do you have a reservation and then taking a manic pleasure it saying NO - so many to list! Not one area for adults only it’s chaos.

Everything you would expect from a Resort hotel.
This 3-night stay was part of a 12-night trip to Sardinia, staying in 4 different hotels. The Hotel Abi D’Oru is exactly what you would expect from a resort: good facilities, good restaurants, decent sized beach and lots of beach loungers / umbrellas. Staff were very professional and attentive. The room (we chose a junior suite) was very large, spacious and bright. However, we do have one small problem: there is no heating (only Air Conditioning). Most of the year, this won’t matter. Even when we visited (mid October), it only became an issue in the evening... but it *was* an issue, so its something that potential visitors should be aware of & pack accordingly. One other point to note: on-site prices to sit and have drink in the lobby. We paid €30 for a single glass of ‘house’ wine (ie not a special bottle €14) plus a Bourbon & Coke (standard drink, not ‘aged’ €16). This basically meant we went outside, bought our wine and drank it on the balcony instead. In this situation, everyone loses out (including the hotel). It’s worth pointing out that these prices are not unusual in the Costa Smeralda hotels.

Exceeded my expectations !! Since the moment we arrive we feel they treat us as royalty, they welcome us with a personalized stress free check inn along with a Prosecco, they explain us all about the room and the hotel. Food was extraordinary at the main buffet restaurant , excellent quality, attention and options. We really enjoy our vacations and recommend it. The kids pool on the kids club is beautiful, with its slides and water amenities our son enjoyed !

Couldn't recommend this hotel enough, 15 minutes from the airport but a little oasis of a place. Great service, amazing private beach area, and a free shuttle into Porto Rotundo . Hotel staff very friendly and attentive. Drinks a little expensive, but it is Italy!

First class service, beautiful beach-front spot
This hotel is excellent. Our room and it’s ocean view were perfect. The breakfast was very very good. Full buffet, plus made to order omelettes, fresh squeezed orange juice, and more. This is not a hotel surrounded by other businesses- which is what we actually liked. It was peaceful and beautiful with a spectacular beach on site. If you don’t want to eat at the hotels restaurant, Olbia and other smaller towns are a few minutes away. This hotel provides 5 star services. We were very happy with our stay.

Amazing hotel... Best staff ever
Absolutely amazing hotel. The best service we've ever had in a hotel. All the staff go out of their way to look after you from arrival to leaving. Even the hotel managers comes to chat to you as part of the service to see you have enjoyed your stay and if anything could be done better. We couldn't fault it. The grounds and pool area are beautiful. The standard of food is amazing. We stayed on Bed and breakfast basis and it was excellent. The restaurant evening meal if you want it is 40 euros each and well worth it. The fish and meats are all fresh and waiting to be cooked to your liking. Lots of different choice. The rooms are traditional Sardinian style and very clean. Beautiful sea views from the spacious balcony. The pool staff are lovely and out arranging your beds with mattress and parasols. We walked on the beautiful hotel beach but didn't use it for the day as we prefer to use the pool but the beach is lovely. Nothing negative to say about this hotel.... The most amazing staff and service. We stayed in May so whether service is the same in busier months... I would like to think so. The hotel is a 5 minute drive from Porto Rotondo and 20 minutes from Olbia but definitely need a car as there are so many places to visit in the area. I would recommend this hotel to anyone that likes high standards of service with beautiful views and rest and relaxation.

lovely building, friendly staff, beautiful setting
Lovely hotel, beautiful location, local area quieter than expected and taxis proved to be expensive so consider hiring a car if going for more than a week. We went mid September so the hotel was quieter, and getting a drink by the pool sometimes an issue as the pool bar not properly staffed most days. Hotel could do with new carpets in the hallways (they’re showing some wear and faded in places), and our shower had a faulty door so wouldn’t open or close properly, but otherwise in good condition. Best to avoid the focaccia sandwiches from the beach bar (ordered a tuna and tomato focaccia and it was literally just a smattering of tinned tuna and a small sliced tomato between two pieces of dry bread, not impressive), better to go with one of the pasta specials if eating from their beach bar or try the more expensive, but much nicer, beach restaurant next door.. Very friendly and helpful staff, lovely pool and beach, overall would recommend.

Stylish hotel in beautiful bay
This hotel came up to our expectations. The only negative comment is that it is an isolated resort with nowhere to walk to except a small marina at the end of the beach, so car hire is essential to visit the surrounding area as there is no public transport and taxis are very expensive.

Not a 5 star hotel. Rooms are totally outdated and you’re better of sleeping on one of the sun loungers on the beach than the bed in the room. I’ve never even encountered a bed that uncomfortable. Beach and views are nice though

5 star price but 4 star quality
For a 5 star hotel our room (359) was extremely basic. Poor air con, fridge did not work and a leak in the bathroom. Carpets in corridors were very worn and stained. A couple of the reception staff were unaccomadating and inflexible. Some of the gym equipment had yet to arrive and a number of the machines were not working. Staff kept saying it will be dealt with shortly but never happened. Asked for late check out but this was unavailable. They offered only the spa to change in. After travelling the world, this cannot be classed as a 5 star hotel.

Perfect Ending
We had been traveling Europe for 15 days and just wanted to relax and de stress near water. This place is perfect. What a few. We watched every customer arrive and due the same thing we did walk right out the back and just gaze at the view. Nothing to really say bad, staff was great Massimo the waiter was awesome. Food was great we ate the buffet each night. It was the beginning of the season so nothing in the nearby towns were even open and the hotel was still getting set up. I believe they have closed the gym. No equipment and the newer ads do not even mention it.
