Hotel Residence Cormoran | House in Villaggio Mandorli

Amazing location, beautiful beach.

We had a great time at this place. Some pros and cons to share with future travellers: Pros: - Property and buildings are beautiful, very clean. - Staff are friendly. Cons: - Drinks and food are VERY expensive. We got some things from the local town for our room in terms of groceries and drinks. - DO NOT do laundry here. I got a small bag done and although they were very fast and efficiency, they charged me over 80 euros afterwards without being open about this prior to me dropping the small bag off. - Hot water in the room runs out fast if you’re having more than two showers I. Your travel party - The volleyball was not set up, which was one of the things we were most excited for. Overall, we would most likely come back, but would do some research and better planning first as we learned the hard way on some things.

Lovely hotel. Grounds are well kept. Breakfast is amazing. Pool and pool area is always clean. Beach hotel is lovely. Not a lot to do for the kids, but I think that’s general for Sardinia. Overall, lovely staff, clean, organised, good food. Location is great as long as you have a car. Close to beaches and close to town square. Honestly can’t fault this hotel. Will go again.

We had a great trip.

Perfect !!!

We are a family of four and overall had a very nice stay in one of the apartments. The standard of the apartment was probably closer to three than four stars, but clean, new bathroom and well-functioning air con. Consider bringing a few things like a good and sharp knife, tea towels etc. if you’d like to use the kitchenette. The location of the resort right on an amazing beach is truly five stars and the garden and pool area very nice and well-kept! We booked transport from Cagliari airport, but the driver had just left as our flight was 30 minutes delayed. Communication with the hotel was not very helpful, no apology was made, and we ended up taking a taxi to the hotel instead. There’s an hourly bus from the street outside the resort to Villasimius, remember face masks. The front desk has a nice map of Villasimius and can show you the bus stops for return (we missed it the first time we went there, and taxis are hard to find and very expensive). All entertainment and kids activities are in Italian.

Very nice resort situated right on a beautiful white sand beach. There are a few things that could use some upgrading and improvement but nevertheless we had a wonderful 2-week stay at the family apartment with two young children. The apartment furnishings are very basic. The bottom floor apartment was perfect for us as our kids could run around in the front and back patios. The bathroom unfortunately smelled pretty bad like sewer but we closed all the drains and that helped. The kitchen is not well equipped (only one knife provided - a bread knife, no toaster, no microwave, no kid's utensil/plates/cups). Bring your own dish detergent and sponge. The counter space is tiny. This could be intentional to encourage guests to eat at their cafe and restaurant. Eating at their restaurant was not ideal for us as our young kids as they open for dinner at 7pm. We did eat at the beach restaurant once and enjoyed it. The food could be tastier, however, the service, the atmosphere and entertainment were TOP notch. I love the singer... he could literally sing any and all my favorite songs. I am utterly impressed by his talent, his voice as he could sing pop, rock, jazz, soul, swing, etc. Every night after our kids went to bed, I relaxed with a glass of wine on our patio and listened to him sing. The entertainment team holds free yoga, water exercise, entertainment for kids. We had a great time here and end of September was the best time to go as we had escaped the crowd & weather was good

We stayed in a ground floor apartment for 10 days. Clean, practical, bright and a stone's throw from the pool and beach. The stunning beach has lovely wooden sunshades and is great for kids. The kids' pool was unfortunately a bit boring and cool with only ladder entry and limited shade. Don't book this place for the kids' club, especially for young children, the facilities and enthusiasm are rather lacking. Luckily there were plenty of other small children in the surrounding apartments who all amused each other and could play safely alone in the shared garden area. Despite this website advertising laundry facilities, these are only in the villas. The best the reception could offer to rectify this was a discount laundry service of €2/item... for two weeks' worth of washing for a family of four?!? We drove into town instead. Otherwise everyone was helpful and friendly. Beach restaurant perhaps a bit overpriced (more expensive than the 5* hotel down the road where we stayed next!)

The resort itself - pool, beach, garden etc. is really well cared for and extremely nice. The entertainment team does a good job of organizing activities and my kids really enjoyed the afternoon games. We stayed in the residence and the apartment was rather basic, old and not particularly clean (with the exception of the bathroom which was renovated). We had a really nice time, but I am not sure we would come back unless the rooms are renovated.

Initially, we booked for six days but the residence was so confortable and the animation staff so friendly that we decided to extend our stay. Very recommended.
