The rooms and bathrooms are dilapidated, Breakfast is ridiculously basic. While the Pension has a magnificent terrace overlooking the sea, the restaurant is in the basement, with windows that do not open. There is a fixed menu in the evening that we had no desire to try (since it is inside).
The staff is not very professional (at the beach or pool, the lifeguard leaves you to manage to open your umbrella - except a very dedicated lifeguard with all the customers), you order a bottle of water at the pool bar and although you ask for a cup, it is not brought to you.
It is not recommended to drink tap water in Sardinia, which is why all hotels give you (at least) a small bottle of water per person every day. At the Colonna Grand Hotel, water is offered on the day of your arrival, then on other days you must buy it. Finally, there is no preparation of the room in the evening (which does not bother me if I know that I am in a 4* for example). This Pension either assumes that it is not worth more than 4* and it lowers its rates, or it wants to maintain its 5* but it REALLY needs to make an effort.



The rooms are cleaned twice a day and fresh beach towels are always provided. If you need more, you can get additional beach towels at the pool and on the beach. Free of charge!
The daily highlight follows in the evening - a four-course meal of the absolute highest class! It is not surprising that the very friendly and professional head of service previously worked at the Swiss Padrutt's Palace and the Uto-Kulm in St. Moritz. He reads your every wish from your lips!
There is a free shuttle bus to the village of "Santa Teresa Gallura" with numerous restaurants and shopping opportunities several times a day.
The hotel is highly recommended!

I enter a room that smells of mold, mold permeates even the wardrobes equipped with rusty hangers.
The bathroom is dilapidated, dating back to the 60s, without a window and with a very noisy fan. Stained and holey bath towels. Ditto the beach towels.
The furniture is old, nightmarish and on the terrace there is a semi-rusted table.
Every evening they leave a melted, melted and now deformed chocolate on the bed... they might as well avoid it!
During a week's stay they forgot several times to refill the mini bar with water.
The 'La pagoda' restaurant, where they serve lunch, is a real sauna with waiters dripping with sweat. The buffet is pitiful and poor, little stuff mostly frozen or fried the day before;
The main restaurant where they serve breakfast and dinner is even worse, a homemade buffet and if you don't hurry to serve yourself they take everything away half an hour before closing. More than a holiday it seems like a constant rush to hurry up.
The bar serves little non-fresh food.
The staff is also a nightmare: with the exception of the reception staff and the metro staff, all the others would do well to change jobs:
-housekeepers who burst into the room at 9:30 to clean. They knock as they open the door. They don't have the decency to knock and wait a few seconds. Among other things, the rooms do not have a 'Do Not Disturb' sign so the housekeepers move around undisturbed and if you are not ready to vacate the room immediately they look at you askance and a coming and going of break-ins begins until you get out of their way.
-the waiters almost get annoyed if you ask for something. The other day I almost had an argument with a waiter to whom I asked for a carton of milk, he 'rightly' replied that I can get it at the buffet. When I pointed out to him that the buffet had run out of milk, he replied that I was nervous and that I wanted to make a fuss😩
The only pearl of the structure is the white sand beach and crystal clear sea but the price to pay to enjoy that little beach is really high!!




Location: very nice, great view, Capo Testa absolutely worth seeing and scenic, but extremely many tourists, road adjacent to the hotel very crowded by daytrippers, high traffic
Rooms: a bit dated but charming but unbearable sewer stench, the problem could not be fixed after several days of advice, doors could not be closed because they brushed on the ground.
Change of rooms after 5 days with alleged upgrade: here extreme odor and mold, cabinets not usable due to mold pollution, large puddle of dirt directly in front of the terrace, plague of flies, no clothes racks, wet bathing clothes had to be dried over the railing
Showers: old dried-up dirt and mold
Pool: nicely laid out, but not suitable for swimming, all day long roaring music on the complex and in the beach cafe next door.
Beach: actually very nice bay, only unfortunately full of smelly seagrass, adjacent public beach heavily polluted with garbage, seagrass was never removed on the hotel beach, in some cases you could not go into the water, also here booming music
Evening walks outside the complex not possible due to heavy wild boar traffic. We had two days of encounters with several wild boar packs.
Breakfast: very good, little choice
Dinner: 4 course menu, lasts 2.5 hours and is almost always cold
It is outrageous to offer this 5-star property.
Pool is a joke and never worthy of a supposed 5-star hotel because the water goes straight to the hip, swimming almost not possible. When a cold current comes in the sea, which goes from one day to the next, it becomes boring. All day roaring music from restaurant right next to the hotel.
Dreamlike sandy beach right in front of the hotel, sunbeds with umbrella mostly available, separated from the public beach next to it. Crystal clear, clean water, wonderful for swimming, great panorama towards Capo Testa. From the headland you can see Corsica. Two restaurants outside the hotel within walking distance. By car close to the pretty small town of Santa Teresa Gallura.
Umbrellas around the pool sufficient, but permanent music humbling by neighboring restaurant, the hotel management would have to do something about it. For almost 300 euros per night (room with breakfast) this is not possible.
I was never at the restaurant, booked up in the evening, just too expensive for lunch. Breakfast isn't worth 5 stars, there are great choices and also fresh fruit, but qualitative and emphasis on sweets. Service in the breakfast restaurant miserable, you wait forever for the coffee (on the last day it was despite several requests 18 minutes, I looked especially at the clock). The solution would be to download coffee machines yourself. In the neighbouring restaurant Martini I ate good and affordable steak, also otherwise priced ok, but extreme music reward. The landlady there says that must be so. Off. Slightly above the hotel is the excellent but not entirely cheap restaurant S'Andira as an alternative, with beautiful views.
"A strong three (not four or five) star thotel. Be wary of dining options. Restaurant seating and dining options at the hotel are limited."Read full review
"Be aware of wind. Courtesy bus not in centre of town only outskirts which is disappointing for those with mobility issues. Such as new knee."Read full review
"Better options for north Sardinia with competitive prices. All the cities are quite near. Stay in Cannigione and drive early to the beach. "Read full review
