Oasis

"Just back from another week in the wonderful Oasis Hotel in Alghero , this time with my son and his partner. Don't pay attention to any negative reviews, it is a wonderful Hotel with some of the best restaurant food ever...well worth going half board! Local Sardinian food with such vast choices of vegetables, fish, pasta, meats , cheeses, fruit and pastries catering for all tastes. The restaurant staff are lovely and always have a smile on their faces and do their best for you. The poolside cafe and bar also serves good food and we ate there a few lunchtimes. There was also live music there on a couple of evenings. The whole hotel is spotlessly clean including the lovely pools and garden area. The bedrooms are good with excellent showers and huge comfy beds. Most bedrooms have balconies, ours were both overlooking the pool area with wonderful views on 2nd floor. The hotel has two lifts and plenty of ramps so ideal for less mobile guests and wheelchair users. There are also some accessible rooms on the ground floor. The main pool has been refurbished since I last came two years ago and now has a ramp allowing wheelchair users direct access to the water. The hotel itself is cash free and you just present your room card when paying for drinks etc. You get a receipt each time so easy to see what you have spent and you can pay at the end or daily if you prefer. There is also a mini market attached to the hotel for essentials as the residences opposite are self catering, and also a pizzeria which we didn't use this time. These however take cash or card. The lovely Maria Pia beach is a 100 meter walk away across a pine wood although there is also a path to it and beds and umbrellas can be hired for about 20 euros a day although you can just use the beach for free . Alghero town is about 40 min walk away or 5 to 10 mins in a taxi (15 to 20 euros) or a couple of euro by bus opposite the hotel. Old Town is well worth a visit although not as accessible friendly and Neptune's Grotto a lovely boat ride away and well worth a visit. ( Also accessible by steps for the more active!) Altogether a fabulous holiday and I can't wait to return! Here are a few of the many photos we took."

"Lovely hotel with friendly and helpful staff. The pool and garden area are superb and everywhere is spotless , the staff work tirelessly to keep it clean. Breakfast was ok with a reasonable choice and the barista was a treat for my morning coffee. The beach is a few minutes walk through the trees but the weather didn’t allow us to enjoy it. Alghero is beautiful and a short bus ride away. The evening buffet in the hotel restaurant is really good for 35euro I highly recommend. La Pergola 500m turn left from the hotel is also very good. I agree with other reviews that the noise level through thin walls can be a bit annoying but as a whole it’s a great little oasis and I would return in a heartbeat."

"We had an amazing time at the Oasis hotel. Sadly, having made the reservation with booking.com several months ago booking.com cancelled the booking on the day before departure without letting me know despite the fact that we had also booked through them, the airport hotel for the night before departure. Having established that booking.com were completely unsupportive I contacted the reservations team at the hotel. Paula was really helpful and reserved the room which managed to reduce my stress significantly. We arrived to find the hotel was very relaxed and grounds were beautifully maintained. We found everyone in the hotel were very friendly. Everywhere in the hotel and on the beach was very clean. The breakfast was really good with lovely cakes, cooked breakfast and cereal. We loved the barista and our morning cappuccino. We paid to have a couple of evening meals which were delicious The room was a good size with balcony overlooking the pool. We took a travel kettle having read previous reviews. The walls were very thin but the beds were comfy enough for us to have a good nights sleep. The hotel is set near beautiful pinewoods which lead to a beach with crystal clear sea. The town of Alghero is within walking distance. We walked in several times and are both in our late 60s. We also caught the bus there having purchased tickets at the hotel reception. The old town is wonderful, with a mix of old walls and historical buildings, lots of restaurants and souvenir shops. We fell in love with Sardinia and the Oasis hotel and will definitely be back, hopefully before too long. Thanks to all the hotel team who made our stay so special. My only advice is to book directly rather than use booking.com who have failed to correspond in any way to my questions or the official complaint I made."
