Cruccuris Resort Adults Only

You do need a car to get around island, and directions to the nearby beaches were not very clear. Otherwise a most enjoyable short stay with good amenities at the resort.

Overall we had a very enjoyable stay at this hotel. Close to the harbour and local beaches, but a car is essential. The staff were very helpful and friendly and our room was spacious and clean. There were just a few niggles, firstly, we were unable to use our terrace because of the abundance of mosquitoes. Secondly most of the rooms on the ground floor have terraces which were obscured by large plants and bushes keeping out the sunshine and thirdly the breakfast although good and adequate never changed over our three week stay. Having said that we would still return to this hotel.

Very clean and quiet hotel, the staff were very attentive and helpful. Beautiful gardens, with plenty of different areas to relax in.

The hotel is very well presented and immaculately clean with two pools and well maintained gardens. Has the feel of a desert oasis as it is accessed by a dirt road, not lit at night, and surrounded on three sides by steep hills with a view down to the sea on the fourth. Inside the walled and gated enclosure all is green and peaceful. The staff are friendly, helpful and obviously at ease in their job and with each other. Although English is spoken at reception you may find that some waiting staff don't speak it. This is not a criticism merely an observation. Our bedroom was spacious and clean as was the bathroom. Breakfast and dinner are taken on the terrace overlooking one of the two pools and is a very pleasant experience. At breakfast there was the usual typical hotel selection of fruits, cereals, yoghurts, ham and cheese, pastries, cakes and biscuits. Also a hot option of boiled egg, scrambled egg and bacon. The food at dinner was of a good standard although there are a number of restaurants in the vicinity should you wish a more varied or authentic experience. You will need transport there and back though. Occasionally there is live music. All in all a peaceful and relaxed holiday experience in this remote corner of Sardinia.

When we arrived we were greeted by Massimo, the night receptionist who enthusiastically welcomed us to the resort. The staff friendliness was outstanding and consistent throughout our stay. Each morning the staff provided a delicious and varied breakfast buffet with fresh fruit, deli meats, breads, yogurts, juices, and more. When we had a special occasion and had to order a birthday cake, the hotel management eagerly assisted us with our surprise. The rooms were spacious, clean, quiet, and comfortable, with large bathrooms and oversized terraces overlooking the sea and mountains. Two pools, just a stone's throw away from our room, were immaculately kept with fresh towels available, a poolside bar, and even water-fountains and jacuzzis. We were impressed by the landscaping, which features palm trees, enclosed gazebos, indoor and outdoor lounge areas, and local flora. The location of the hotel was perfect for our stay. We drove just a few minutes to reach some of Sardinia's best beaches and the marina, where tourists can rent boats. The price of the hotel is very reasonable and offers good value for money. We definitely plan on returning again, hopefully in the near future!

Two years ago, we were at romantic Cruccuris and got really impressed with the comfortable installations and good service. We recommended it to friends and decided not to search for another place when we returned to Sardegna. We were happy to have the same special service, to see the place keeps its attractiveness and good service, including in the restaurant (as we had half board). Some nights there is live music during dinner and you can also drive to the little village of Villasimius to do some shopping. You'd better have a car as the hotel is not on the beach. But again, it's a good idea to go to Costa Rei and for that, you will need a car, anyway. This is our home in South Sardegna. I hope it becomes yours!

The 'Cruccuris Resort' sign is painted on a large rock indicating the unmetalled lane you have to take, but it is pale and easy to miss; look out for the Via Cruccuris signpost carefully. If you are on the coast road, driving towards Villasimius, the Resort is on the left, before you reach the town. The Resort is beautiful, quiet, friendly and the scent from the flowers and surrounding vegetation is delicious. I stayed in a first floor room with a balcony, which looked out over the hills, with a view of the coast in the distance - just lovely. If you enjoy making yourself a cup of tea, you will need to bring a travel kettle and t-bags. I bought a carton of milk from the bar and stored it in my room's mini-bar fridge. The breakfast buffet and good, as was the evening meal - I ate at the hotel twice. There are good pizzerias and restaurants in Villasimius, along with some amazing gelaterias. There are also a few mosquitos, so a mosquito coil to burn on the balcony or a plug-in for the room, and some body spray would be useful. The air-conditioning settings are controlled by reception, but they are very happy to alter them for you - just ask.

This resort is set back from the beach but is clean and nice. We didn't particularly like having half board as we prefer to eat out. The receptionist recommended Punto Molentis beach to us but we never were able to find it. Reading on the internet, we learned that is a fabulous beach but hard to find and not well signed posted. She could have given us more specific directions, i.e. kilometers from Villasimius or the sign to look for. We wasted a lot of time looking for it and never found it.

After a few minor detours we found the hotel which is in a secluded position a mile or so from Villasimius. It was very quiet as the season was coming to an end and we decided to opt for half board. The food was very good both at breakfast and dinner with several choices available. The antipasti deserves a special mention due to the variety each day. The room was spacious and clean and wi-fi was available in the public areas. All the staff were very pleasant and helpful. We mainly visited the areas beautiful beaches and each day a beach towel is given which is a nice touch. Overall a brilliant hotel for anyone who wants a tranquil break. A car is a must for this excellent location.

Great hotel and would highly recommend. Due to location, would recommend hiring a car but you can get about by bike. Secure car park which is good. Staff were very friendly and made us feel welcome. The communal areas are excellent, although it would have been nice if the pools were heated. Exceptionally clean room. Food was ok (breakfast was good) but plenty of places to eat locally in the evenings. Overall we had a lovely break and would return.
