Colonna Grand Hotel Capo Testa

The view was spectacular

The hotel is not a 5 star hotel. The facilities and rooms do not reflect the so called 5 star rating. You only pay for the view! The staff are not accommodating, it feels more like you are an inconvenience rather than a paying guest. The hotel is very expensive where you expect 5 star treatment to go with the prices however that is not the case. The rooms are small and if you book the classic rooms be prepared to look onto fake grass and rocks not the beautiful view that you pay top dollar for. No drinks or snacks are offered at the pool or beach , you have to go to the pool bar and heaven forbid if you go close to 2:30 the kitchen is closed. The snacks offered at the pool bar are of mediocre quality and look like the have been microwaved yet you pay top price for them. I have a gluten allergy (celiac) and during my trip round Sardina it was not a problem at all however at the Colonna Grand Hotel Capo Tessa I was told at the pool bar there was nothing for me to eat. This to me is unacceptable and even after they tried to rectify themselves the damage was already done. Breakfast is fine however I would not say it was 5 star quality and after speaking to other guests they felt the same. The location is a little out of the way from the main town and there is very little restaurant choice close to the hotel. The hotel does offer a shuttle bus however it stops at 7pm where in fact most restaurants in Sardinia dont serve dinner until 8pm. I travelled many places in Sardina during my holiday and this was supposed to be the last stop and full of luxury. I have to honestly say I was extremely disappointed as it was the worst service of them all and definitely not worth the money. To anyone thinking of spending the money to stay here DONT!
