Is Serenas Badesi Village 

Sardinia is special, but we’ve always struggled to find an all-inclusive hotel with great sports on tap. So we were pleased to find this one via operator Sardatur and stay here for one week in the summer. We’d recommend this hotel and will look to stay in others in their small chain. The majority of guests were Italians on holiday from the mainland and having a great time. The buffet restaurant served tasty Italian food and well labelled for dietary requirements including vegan. There was a weird internal structure to the dining room though, so we always chose the outer tables in the adjoining rooms. I’d feedback ‘softening’ the interior design of the dining areas. Wine on tap ok, beer good. Great juices etc. We were very satisfied by food and drinks. We had a clean , spacious, comfortable family bedroom with good beds and great shower. Nice touch of fizz and cookies on arrival. Nice patio and furniture. Swimming pools were lovely. Sports were really great - we enjoyed padel, archery, spin, tai chi and yoga. All superb. Great outside gym! Beach is long and sandy. Loved having the dedicated preassigned sunbeds! All inclusive water sports so we had fun on pedalos and sups too. Great little beach bar to watch the sunset. Beach is 5/10 mins walk from hotel itself but on hotel land and accessible via a smart walkway. The hotel layout was good and lots of greenery and low build with ‘village square’ for evening entertainment adjoining the amphitheatre , bar and shops. The entertainment team was huge and whilst working hard they were obviously having fun too. Lots of shows. Midnight pool party included. Most of the entertainment was in Italian which we are happy with as we like to feel like we’re on holiday and try Italian. We love going to Italy during Ferragosto as it’s such a celebration. I wasn’t so keen on the ferragosta competition with the other hotels - I think it was lost in translation! Fireworks for Ferrogosto at midnight was brilliant. So many amazing singers in the animation team and the hotel band was superb! Our kids are past the age of mini clubs but they looked popular with loads of activities I’d recommend this hotel and brand for anyone wanting an Italian all-inclusive holiday but don’t expect boring chips, endless boozing or English to be widely spoken! Perfect for us 🙏
