Hotel Capo d'Orso Thalasso & SPA

Positives: Stunning location and views, relaxing and calm during the day. Excellent and friendly service in the restaurants. Gluten-free and vegan food available. Clear sea for swimming - bring swim shoes to navigate the rocky areas.|Negatives: We took two rooms which turned out to be unacceptably noisy. Both rooms were sandwiched between the waste pipes from the surrounding bathrooms. We were woken by the sound of loud gushing water each time our neighbours made a night time trip to the bathroom, which on one occasion was 5 separate times during the night interspersed between a crying baby next door. I can't ever remember sleeping so badly in a hotel, certainly unacceptable for a five star hotel. At the end of an exhausting week of poor quality sleep I tracked down the General Manager who offered to email me a list of their quieter rooms. I deduce that noise must be a reoccurring complaint. The promised email didn't show up, so as I'm non the wiser I won't return for fear of the same issue.|Further negatives: Not a location for the very young, particularly toddlers as there are too many unguarded edges and steep drops. For the mobility challenged be aware that there are many steep steps.|Very basic decor in room, more 2 star standard than 5 star. Mattress very hard. I would hate to be stuck in the room if the weather was bad. |The most comfortable and adjustable sun beds are to be found on the pontoons but theses come without parasols, just a fixed canopy that doesn't provide shade until the late afternoon. The remainder of the available sun beds did have parasols but only allowed two positions; flat or a low angle, not allowing you to sit up straight. |I'm disappointed that there are too many negatives to consider returning as the area is truly stunning.

This was our second stay at this wonderful location, and it truly felt like coming home.|Once again, we were completely enchanted by this charming hotel that immediately welcomes you with peace and relaxation.||The hospitality from everyone — from the reception (Franchesco) and team to the maintenance staff — is exceptional. Nothing is ever too much trouble.|The rooms offer beautiful sea views and include all the facilities you might need for a comfortable stay.||The peaceful atmosphere and the sunbathing areas are simply priceless — especially the floating pontoons, perfect for swimming or relaxing by the sea.|The small coastal path is ideal for a pleasant stroll or a refreshing drink. It’s well maintained by the friendly staff, who are always ready to help with a smile.||The Pizzabar (Georgia)provides great service and tasty dishes — perfect for a light lunch or a short stop.|Breakfast in the morning is a dream, served outdoors in a beautiful and tranquil setting.||The highlight of our stay was undoubtedly Il Paguro Restaurant, managed by Angelo — a wonderful host who is always attentive to every detail. From the service and the dishes to the wine selection, everything is handled with care, professionalism, and a genuine smile. His respect and dedication to his guests make dining here an unforgettable experience. In our opinion, it’s one of the best restaurants in the entire area. Our heartfelt thanks to Angelo and his amazing team!||A small suggestion: it would be great if the General Manager were to walk around the hotel a bit more and occasionally engage with guests — it would make the atmosphere even more personal.||A big thank you to the entire Capo d’Orso team for another wonderful and relaxing holiday.|We will definitely be back!||Linda & Edouardo

This is truly a five star resort. The setting is beautiful—right on the edge of the ocean. The grounds are beautiful and very well maintained. There are multiple decks around the property with views and access to the water. There is also a private marina where you can rent boats for excursions. There are several good restaurants on the property. The outstanding feature of this resort is the staff—all very friendly and attentive. The only downsides to this property are (1) its distance to the local town (Palau) and (2) there are not enough activities available. There is a golf course and a tennis court but both are poorly maintained. Our room was spacious and comfortable and had a sea view and a large veranda.

This resort is not 5 star and lacks many of the attributes you associate with such hotels. It peddles it’s natural beauty and tranquility on its website, but the reality is the the resort is somewhat wild and unkept, paths are uneven and finding your way around is challenging with a lack of clear signposting. The pool area is old, tired and out dated, complete refresh required. Lounges are distributed throughout the resort but not many with direct access to the water. The beach is nice and safe bathing but this is a public beach. Restaurants were fine without being outstanding. Given what they charge you should expect far better all round. Staff were polite and accommodating but we have experienced far better. After staying here we went South to stay at La Villa Del Re, now that’s truly 5 star, Capo d’Orso could learn a lot but doubt they will!

We had a wonderful stay here. Beautiful location right on the water. Surrounded by nature. It does not feel crowded. Many options from which to enjoy the view - the beach, platform, pool, hammock. The spa has many treatments to choose from. Breakfast was bountiful. We ate in each of the three restaurants and enjoyed them all. Best was the boat tour of Maddalena Archipelago we booked on property with Poseidon. 5 star, but not pretentious. We will be back!

What a rare find of a hotel with so many stand out bits. Lushly planted with a boutique edge to room decor and friendly staff many of whom had been there for years, a picturesque setting, plenty of sun beds with privacy- which aren’t reserved ! And then also a fabulous restaurant included in half board with an outdoor terrace. Pinch me - still cannot believe the chef designed a new four course menu every night with 4 choices for each course and the food was simply exceptional (and with no supplemental costs- so rare). There were so many canapés and live nightly music with pre dinner drinks it started our evenings perfectly.|Took a great hike to a wild beach and lighthouse. The gym was open to the sea and drew even us in ! |Just an hour from Olbia airport, with a truly green ethos - this was a dream find. Gosh this place is fabulous ( we would come back for the Gli Olivastri restaurant alone !)

Fabulous stay. From arrival the staff here are excellent. Allesandro's wonderful staff cater for your every need.|This beautiful hotel has so many areas where you can be private whilst still enjoying a 5 star service- discreetly and efficiently making the stay very special. |Exquisite food; great wines and ......I could go on but I think you get the picture. Just come and experience it yourself!

Hotel Capo D'Orso is magical. While breathing five-star luxury without stuffiness, it is the perfect place to relax. The views are stunning, the staff are marvelous, and the dining options superlative. For a small property, there is more than enough choice of restaurants, and plenty of space to lose yourself just as much as you might want to.|There is no shortage of activities yet an abundance of spots to relax in private.|The hotel arranged a car service for me from Olbia airport and I was glad that I could sit back and enjoy the views. |My room was well appointed, but most of all I loved my large terrace.|Time stops still at Capo d'Orso and I was most reluctant to leave.
