Best holiday ever for my daughter (20) and I. Perfect location, on the beach with shops and bars 200 yards away. Other guests were quiet and pleasant, food was good and cocktails amazing! Very good service.Only one complaint that the beds were very firm, normal in Italy. If you book a trip to the Maddelena Isle, there is a kiosk... more

Upon first entering the hotel we were slightly disappointed as it was a bit dated and not really "grand" as the name suggests. The first room we were shown was dingy and smelled of dampness, the next room we were offered was better and spacious enough for our family of four (2 rooms in the unit). The bathroom is more... more

We spend 9 days at the Grand Hotel Smeraldo Beach and we had a wonderful time. I've broken down my review into a few categories to make it easier to summarize. Food: We did 4 nights half board and the food was substantial, well prepared, and tasty. Each dinner consisted of a salad bar, antipasto, pasta or soup, main course,... more

We chose this hotel due to its location with a private beach. It is also within walking distanace of the town of Baia Sardinia with restaurants, geleterias, shops and bars. The hotel itself is in need of a little refurbishment. Altough the rooms were clean and had all the facilities you needed, for a 4 star hotel you would expect... more

My new husband and I just got back from our trip to Italy during which we spent 4 nights at the Grand Hotel Smeraldo Beach. This hotel is better than it looks in pictures! They organized a private, romantic wedding for us on their beautiful grounds. The service and the staff closely rivaled the beauty of the grounds. Our room... more

LOCATION & FACILITIES: 4/5: Lovely seafront location just round the bay from Baia Sardinia, but only about 5/ 10 minutes walk from the main Piazza. This is quite a large hotel (160 rooms) but has only four floors and all rooms have balconies, some with sea views. Beautifully kept grounds with several swimming pools & terraces, stepped up the hillside... more

We have just got back from a weeks holiday at the Grand Smeraldo Beach Hotel. Lovely hotel, service excellent and location could not have been better. It is located within Baia Sardinia (5 min walk to the shops and restaurants) which has beautiful beaches and clear blue sea. I would recommend having a car to see the some other parts... more

beds and pillows rock hard. Other niggles: Only English speaking TV Channels were CNN and Eurosport. Pool chillier than the sea, with Coffee/Capucinno slightly warmer than sea, but not by much! No internet. That apart, lovely hotel. Nice setting. Very clean. Plenty of sunbeds around pool and on private beach, and all free of charge. more

Just back from a relaxing week at the GSBH. Good hotel in a great location. Sardinia is littered with beautiful coves and beaches with crystral clear waters and the location for GSBH is no exception. Great views looking towards the Maddelena islands and Corsica in the distance. Hotel offers access to two small private beaches in additon to the various... more
