Terra Di Mare Resort & Spa

4 star resort if you’re staying in any other room but the apartment. Our room (105) became infested with flying ants and termites on our last night of the trip. Front desk provided us bug spray to deal with the bugs but they kept coming. It was impossible to locate the entry point because there were so many of them. We had to have the kids sleep in our room as I didn’t want them where we had to use the bug spray. On the second night of our trip, the electricity went out in our room and it activated the emergency lights throughout the apartment at 0200. Not the best way to wake up. This was weird as the air conditioner continued to run so at least that was a good thing. I went to the front desk to complain and realized that it had affected the whole hotel as all the other guests were either standing outside their hotel room and the front lobby was packed. Receptionist said it was a problem in the city not caused by them but the street lights and neighboring houses had power and the AC was still running so not sure how you talk that one down. As compensation, they took 20€ off the breakfasts that weren’t included in the hotel apartment booking and gave me a 12 o’clock late checkout from the standard 10am. This hotel is still one of my favorites but selecting that apartment was a bad move. It’s very spartan, does not come with room cleaning but that’s all stated up front when you book. It’s good for a family of 4 to spread out in and we had a terrace to dry off all our beach things after a day out in the sun. Breakfast buffet is good. Also I remember from our first trip the receptionist would provide a map of the neighboring beaches and a code to get a discount for the reservation only beaches. This time I had to ask about it but the receptionist did get us the map and the code after requesting it. It would be cool to provide this to every guest as they checked-in, and for them not to ask about it because this is good information to have.

A very beautiful resort in San Teodoro, close to the center (15 minutes on foot) and to La Cinta beach. Well-maintained and clean both indoors (we had a double room with an external veranda, a very large bathroom with a shower) and outdoors (a large and beautiful pool and very well-kept greenery). Breakfast in a bright veranda with a view of the pool - varied, with fresh products and very kind staff attentive to the needs of the customers. The only note I feel I should make is about the opening time of the internal gym, set for 9:00 AM, which might be a bit too late for me as I would have liked to use it before breakfast. Overall, the structure fully satisfied me!

Booked an apartment at this resort. It was spacious and clean. Little kitchenette, no kettle but obtained one from reception (no charge). Decent shower and fairly comfy bed. Didn't use the pool area or restaurant but once again all looked very clean and the food menu did look nice. Hotel staff helpful, see Barbara for map and local information. Approximately 7/8 mins walk to a large supermarket and 20/25 mins walk to San Teodoro town centre, many bars and restaurants and a small market Friday's. La Cinta beach took me 30 mins to walk to and Cala D'Ambra beach 30 mins but quite a steep hill climb. Olbia can be reached by bus which runs about every 2 hours. Taxis sparce and expensive, tourist office supplied 3 contacts. All in all a good holiday. Take a small torch as sometimes street lights not on and garden lights not all were working in hotel grounds.
