Residence Liscia Eldi

Just returned from a 7 night holiday at this resort. We are a family of 2 adults and a 14 year old child. Booking was through Jet2 and we also had a hire car for the full period. As we booked half board, and our flight arrived at midday, we ate out at San Teodoro en route to the hotel. On our arrival at 3pm our room was ready for us to check in. The triple room was exactly as shown in the hotel brochure, and as previously mentioned by others, the room was small. The main issue with the room was the size of the shower cubicle, which was tiny, with a narrow door opening, of around 25 cm, because of the door handles. I brought this issue to staff at Reception and we were offered a room change, and staff kindly moved our cases for us. The pool area is lovely and relaxing with far reaching views, over rooftops towards Tavolara. Plenty of sun loungers, and no problem with people "reserving" beds but leaving them empty all day. The hotel also has it's own sunbeds on 2 beaches. A closer one but beach shoes required as stoney, and a beautiful sandy beach about 15 mins walk away. The entertainment team worked tirelessly the whole time. They were welcoming to all, especially lovely that they greet people arriving for Breakfast or Dinner. The dining room was very busy during food service. Dinner especially you need to be there early to grab a good table. Wine was served during dinner from a tap, which was OK, but not the best Italy has to offer. The food was lovely, something for every taste. A dedicated station serving two different pasta / risotto options, a grill serving fresh meat or fish, lovely fresh salads and vegetable options. Fresh fruit and delicious dolci selection. There is no drinking water available during the day, except for what is served with meals, otherwise it needs to be purchased from the bar at 3 euro for a bottle you can buy from the shop for 40 cents, really as the tap water is brown, this should be something the hotel provides free of charge all day. Fortunately as we had a car, we were able to shop for these essentials. The area is lovely, having a car allowed us to visit the locality. On one evening we took the free tourist bus from outside the hotel into San Teodoro to visit the night Market. Overall a lovely place to stay in Sardinia.

We booked with Jet2. We had a very warm welcome from them at the airport. We had our transfer to the hotel which only took an hour. When we arrived there were some people at the reception to welcome us and after checking in, one of them showed us to our rooms. My friend and I had separate rooms and I was very impressed with the accommodation. Very big inside and cool. The reception and pool was not too far away. The staff were very friendly and kind. This includes Martina, Leonardo, Giuseppe, Giulia, Chiara, Gerry and Sara in reception. We arrived on the first day of opening and it was very quiet. It soon got busy later in the week with entertainment, aqua aerobics and exercises by the sea. Giulia was a great singer and entertained in the evening. Chiara was great doing gentle exercises by the sea which was very therapeutic. The village was about a 15 minute walk but once you got there, there were lots of shops to look at. We especially liked the gelato shop called BM&V. It was delicious. There is also a market on Friday mornings which is well worth a visit. There is a lovely beach within walking distance called Spiaggio Isuledda which has umbrellas and beds for hire and the beach hut does amazing sandwiches and hot food. Back at the hotel/village the pool area is lovely and clean. Remember to bring a swim hat or you can buy one there. The pool is a little cold but once you get in you warm up. The bar by the pool is stocked up with everything you need and they do great cocktails. The restaurant has a buffet service and I found there to be quite a good selection and every day it has a different choice. We were very happy with it overall. The only downside I did have was I slipped in the shower and bruised my back, so be careful as I found it very slippery. It could have been worse. I would definitely recommend this place to friends

On the positive side most of the staff were pleasant and helpful and tried their best, sometimes in difficult circumstances. Less positively:- 1. There was too much noise at night and nobody seemed to be able or willing to deal with it. 2. Food was only OK. At breakfast and dinner the dining room was very crowded with long queues for coffee and hot food respectively. 3. The beach nearish to the hotel was a mix of sand and stones and not suitable for children. A better one was 15 minutes walk away. 4. The hotel was served by a bus to San Teodoro but if you missed it the walk would take you at least 20 minutes. It was hardly worth the effort (but not the fault of the hotel).
