Hotel Cala di Volpe, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Costa Smeralda

美得不真實，感覺在夢中。完美的酒店。

The pictures say it all. Unbelievable views are all around. The room decor is a fun, traditional old Italian style. The seafood at the hotel was second to none, and they had the best tiramisu I’ve ever had.

Stayed here for two nights in a double room on the ground floor. The hotel is charming, rustic and quirky. The setting is breathtaking, however my room was on the small side and and needs updating. Nice Aqua Di Parma toiletries in the bathroom. The pool area is large with plenty of sun beds. There is a small beach in front of the pool area. A hotel motor launch is available to take you to the larger beach in the next cove. Breakfast was good, the usual choices of both hot and cold options. We had a formal dinner at the hotel in the evening and the food was an eclectic mix of delicious pasta, antipasto and sushi. Very expensive to eat at the hotel and I did not think it was justified. Cool bar area. Top marks for staff and the setting. I imagine that is what you are paying for.

If your looking for the most charming, romantic, luxurious paradise on earth- this is it!! This is also a child's paradise! Perfect for a family holiday, recharge and return home in good health. Your senses are in heaven the minute you arrive, your eyes see only beauty and the scent is unique. If only I could take this scent with me, a mixture of the sea, nature and the best food. The staff are impeccable and you feel like you are royalty. The bar serves the most exceptional delicious drinks. The lunch buffet is one of a kind! The reception and conceirge do all they can to make your stay perfect and the word 'NO' is rarely said. Easily top 5 hotels in the entire world. Worth every penny!! If I had to stay in once place for the rest of my life this would be the place I would choose

Fabulous hotel which was just out of season so we had excellent service while not being too crowded. The staff couldn't do enough for us. Breakfast by the pool was stunning and the facilities in keeping with the standard of the hotel. However, it is very expensive making it really for the super rich and footballers plus WAGs (Roy Keane was there at the same time as our group).

Beautiful hotel with a very unique but original style,breathtaking views top of the class room service twice a day.great pool and indoor outdoor gym.it has got everything you could dream of.however very expensive.lunch pperson 200euro,bottle of sparkling water 10euro.buffet breakfast fantastic and staff very friendly.this is the place for rich and famous!

The last review by Philip is spot on. This is not a luxury hotel or maybe at one time they were but definitely not now. They completely have missed the memo on how to act like a luxury hotel. Instead, we think management has been training employees to make sure no non-guests are visiting and for the guests who are there, to do everything to openly rip them off like a cheap Disney hotel instead of Sardinian luxury experience. Our friends were there the same time as us and they stayed on their family’s yacht because they wanted to be free to do whatever they wanted instead of having to be policed around. When they tried to come and visit the hotel and pick up items they bought, they were stopped and questioned at length. Then told that they had to spend 50 euros each in order to be able to come in. Was shocking. Not a relaxing feeling at all. And there is an officer in the lobby. Felt very unsafe and strange. People who comment positively here maybe went when the management was different or maybe haven’t seen what true luxury experience is. It’s a feeling of comfort and ease. Not this place. Oh and the hotel is invested with flies! They are everywhere all over food and kitchen. The “private” beach they have is not private. You will have non-stop peddlers trying to sell you stuff and can’t relax. At pool no one gets you water or offers towel! You have to use a QR code to get water and it costs over 15 euros. Bottom line, stay on a boat if you can or stay elsewhere.

I never write reviews as I generally enjoy pretty much every hotel experience, however the Marriott Cala do Volpe is the BIG EXCEPTION. The property is very nice and the rooms are fine (with the exception of a bath towel in our room having a brown stain). Pool is huge, but no one goes in because they refuse to heat the pool. I am sure they will call it “refreshing”, but realistically, I think they are trying to save costs on heating such a large pool. The BIG problem is that this is a Marriott hotel trying desperately to be an exclusive yacht club. Instead of focusing on service, they go to great lengths to create this illusion to try to justify their exorbitant pricing ($2k-$3k euros for a room, 40 euros for a cocktail, 240 euros per person for a lunch buffet). From the minute we arrived with our family, it has been one insane example after another. I checked-in after a full day of travel at around 7pm. We put our bags in the room and my wife and I headed out to explore the property as we always do. First stop was the terrace to look at the view. As soon as we walked out we were getting looked up and down and within 20 seconds, a man from the hotel approaches me to ask if I am guest of the hotel. I said I was and then he strangely asks what my room number was as if I was lying. Then I was told I had to leave because the dress code was no shorts. I was wearing nice shorts with loafers, but fair enough, the outdoor terrace has a dress code. Would have loved to know that up front and not be literally kicked out of a place in front of my wife and a bunch of people, but okay. So then we head to the lobby to figure out where the pool was. Within seconds, another person walks up. Same routine. “Can I help you?” I say we are looking for the pool. She then asks me if I am a guest. I said I was and then again I get the question as to what my room number is. The craziest thing. I had literally checked in 15 minutes prior. I let her know and she responds by telling me that shorts are not allowed in the lobby. It went further down hill from there. Same thing at the outdoor gym. It was 80 degrees outside and so I take my shirt off. The gym staff come up to me to inform me that I had to put my shirt on. I asked politely if I could just move to the grass area. They responded letting me know that I could only have my shirt off at the pool. The whole dress code thing was a really strange experience considering they never told me up front and then seemed to randomly enforce. Over the few days, I saw people in the gym with their shirts off and people in lobby and patio with shorts on after 7:30pm. My wife felt so uncomfortable and wanted to leave early. I felt pretty embarrassed throughout. I will never stay there again and I would recommend others pass as well.

This is a stunning property, very opulent with live music serenading guests in the evenings. The gorgeous pool area, complete with a poolside bar and restaurant, offers a perfect spot to unwind and enjoy the weather while watching the tenders make their way in to drop off passengers. For those who love high-end shopping, there is a Prada and Dolce & Gabbana stores conveniently located on-site, you can indulge in a shopping spree without even leaving the property. Despite all these positives, it's important to note that this level of luxury comes at a cost. Be prepared to spend an overindulgent amount of money during your stay. For instance, a single Aperol Spritz will set you back $37. While the experience is undoubtedly worth it for those who can afford it, it's something to keep in mind when budgeting for your trip. Lastly, Watch out for the trickery of Robby at the bar! He will offer you what appears to be complimentary drinks and then when you get the bill, you find out he charged you for them! RUDE
