I give three stars for the splendid location but this hotel is absolutely not up to 5 star standards. We started at 8 in the morning, woken up by the cleaning ladies' signs that sounded like an earthquake. And it was just as well because breakfast ends at 10 (in the sense that it closes, but there isn't much to be found already at 9.30). More than half an hour for a cappuccino. But at least the staff was friendly and qualified. However, if you went to the pool bar before 10am, they didn't even serve you a coffee, and at 6.20pm you could even forget about the aperitif because the bar closed. Do you want an aperitif? Go up to the terrace. practically indoors. Even the miniclub was non-existent for the first few days, then someone arrived but if you wanted the service your child had to stay in an indoor room, because there and only there they operated. Then there is a wonderful beach, it's a shame not even the umbrella could be opened due to the wind. There are also many beautiful swimming pools but the height is 90cm-1m: difficult to swim if you are not a child. After dinner the only entertainment - when there is any - is a piano bar which only plays pieces from before 1970... better to escape if you are under 60. For the rest, a beautiful structure, a splendid sea, a good restaurant... a shame because much more could be done.

We go to this Pension for its beach and garden with swimming pool. Otherwise, this Inn is not a 5*.
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 pool area with 4 or 5 swimming pools leaves nothing to be desired. There are always more than enough loungers free at the pool or on the beach. The beach is white sand, but there are large accumulations of seaweed on certain sections of the beach.
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!

We were so disappointed with our stay, to the point that when we arrived I started calling round other hotels to check for availability. Booking a 5 star we expected a 5* service - I’ve stayed in better 3 star hotels than this. Our king bed, was two single beds pushed together - we requested a change which was refused. We was consistently over charged at the pool bar. Customer service was very poor - not a 5* feel - Breakfast felt incredibly tense - the staff seemed stressed and unhappy to be there. We consistently had to request for additional coffee or clean cutlery - servers would ether forget or take a long time to provide what was requested. As for the area - only stay here if you have a car or you’re happy to sit by the pool all day every day. There is nothing in the area (2 restaurants within walking distance which are extremely over priced). Disappointed with our stay and felt like a complete waste of money. There are far better, and cheaper hotels in Sardinia.

I struggle to understand how such a dump can be called a 5-star hotel with 5-star prices.
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!!

First of all: the hotel is not a 5 star hotel!
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.

Dream location on dream beach on headland to Capo Testa. Overpriced, restaurant extremely expensive, moreover mostly booked for evening, I only had rooms with breakfast. Had pleasant room away from the hustle and bustle yet close to beach and pool. Actually pleasant and quiet, because outside, with a little sea view. The problem: There are cast iron chairs on each balcony. When the guests come from dinner, they move around with them until late at night, the noise goes through ear opax. Suggestion: Plush glue under the chair legs. Coffee machine (without milk) available, Surprisingly you have to pay for every used capsule, in a 5-star hotel! Even if it costs little, I have rarely experienced it. Good Wi-Fi, good TV with over 600 Italian channels, but after a long search you can also find ZDF and 3sat. Good bed, good bath.

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.

We spent a week in Capo Testa having been to a hotel we like on the Costa Smeralda three times previously. This location was better as the hotel had its own easy access beach with shallow, calm sea right out front. We booked half board and the food in the restaurant was very varied and high quality. They catered very well for my gluten intolerance and nothing was too much trouble for the genuine and kind staff. I have unreasonably high standards and was very pleasantly surprised at the cuisine and service we received in the restaurant. Bed was a bit hard, but you can’t have everything! The clientele were mainly German and Italian and all very respectful and nice. Definitely recommend this hotel.

Beautiful and complete structure. The view of the sea, even the pool, and the availability of the beach definitely make it unique. It seemed to be on the beach even from the pool positioned at the highest level. I could spend hours watching the wonderful paronama of the bay from an elevated position appreciating and all the colors. The sea was spotless, the beach clean. Reserved guests. The helpful and sunny staff. Cleanliness to the max. I always had the change and cleanliness of the room even when not asking for the replacement of towels. The property does not place any restrictions on beach towels which you can easily request change without restrictions and costs. The restaurant is exceptional catering quality. In addition to buffet appetizers, the Half Pension dinner includes the choice between two additional appetizers, four first courses, four main courses and as many desserts. Quality all in all decent even quick meals at the pool bar. Drinks can only be charged on the room number and paid at the end. Unfortunately a little uncomfortable in case of stays of friends sharing the room. Having the ability to pay by card would be a plus. The property has internal parking, another luxury that not all facilities, even the most expensive, can not always boast. Overall all easy and beautiful. I thank the bar and restaurant staff for their cheerfulness and kindness. I hope to be back soon.

Spectacular location on a beach and a dreamy sea, very large outdoor spaces (garden and several swimming pools), excellent cuisine with a wide choice, courteous and professional staff, extreme cleanliness, make this hotel an excellent destination for a relaxing holiday. A modernization of the rooms would make it all worth the full score. Greetings and thanks to all the staff and, hopefully, goodbye!
