Lago di Baratz

Mooie nieuwe accommodatie aan een schitterend strand, waarbij het gebruik van de strandbedden is inbegrepen. Zeer mooi zwembad met uitzicht over de baai. Er is een kleine spa waar je per kamer één keer per verblijf gratis gebruik van kan maken. De kwaliteit van het onbijt is uitstekend. Het diner is goed maar niet bijzonder, daarnaast is het vrij druk in het restaurant en zijn de prijzen vrij hoog. Het personeel is erg proffesioneel en vriendelijk. De 90s muziek aan t zwembad vind ik persoonlijk niet passen bij dit type hotel en de sfeer.

Nice hotel, island, pool area and beach club are beautiful and the breakfast is good. Room for improvement would be, that the jacuzzi part of the pool somehow did not work during the stay, the gym was rather tiny. The reason for 4 stars has been one particular, very negative experience. The hotel desperately needed to charge the guests extra for any sun loungers with shade at the beach, in such an „evil“ way, that they offered a few free black sunbeds solely completely without shade, not even a normal umbrella was available or possible to bring your own. These sunbeds heated up so much during the day, that they were impossible to be used. So when you were sensitive to sun, the only viable option was to pay 100€ per day just to avoid the worst sunburn of your life. This is a No-Go for a five star hotel, where you already pay a fortune for the stay.

Staff was very helpful in advising us what our options were for a boat trip away from Obia. We did enjoy the complementary jazz music player during one of the nights. Hotel is about a 5min walk to the beach which was perfect, just be extra careful when walking to the beach since you have to walk on the same road as the cars heading towards the beach, no separate lanes. We were however surprised you had to pay to use the sunbeds and umbrellas per day (25EUR) at their side of the beach since we assumed it was part of the booking considering the hotel is making advertisement for the availability of beach and sunbeds. Also it would be recommended to get a car during the stay to be able to explore the Olbia and its neighboring cities. Other than that we did enjoy our stay at the hotel.
