Mangia’s Sardinia Resort

A Relaxing Sardinian Escape with Great Food and Genuine Hospitality We had a very enjoyable stay and felt it deserved a 5-star review. This may not be the most luxurious resort we've ever visited, but it was exactly the right choice for the kind of holiday we wanted—relaxed, welcoming, and authentic rather than pretentious. The cuisine was one of the highlights of our stay. We particularly enjoyed Donna Floriana, where we had some excellent dinners, and Grano Pizzeria, which served delicious pizzas in a lovely atmosphere. The overall food quality throughout the resort was consistently very good. The beach is beautiful and well worth spending time at, while the Riva's Pool was a pleasant surprise—quiet, peaceful, and perfect for relaxing away from the busier areas of the resort. Breakfast was naturally quite busy during peak hours, but we found that arriving early in the morning made the experience much more enjoyable. The selection was generous, varied, and offered something for everyone. The hotel itself benefits from large open spaces, which means it never feels overcrowded despite its size. The atmosphere throughout the resort is friendly, informal, and genuinely welcoming. During our stay, we also spent two evenings exploring the stunning beauty of the Costa Smeralda, which made the holiday even more memorable. We truly enjoyed our time in Sardinia and will definitely be back. Thank you to the entire team for making our vacation such a pleasant experience.

From check-in to checkout, the staff made us feel like regulars. Every request was handled promptly. The room was spotless, extremely comfortable bed and the sunrise and sunset view was stunning. Dining experience is to remember from breakfast, lunch and dinner. We will definitely return on our next travel.

We stayed at this resort expecting a 5-star experience, but unfortunately it felt more like a 3-star hotel and definitely wasn't worth the money. The rooms are a good size and newly built. However, despite requesting a double bed, we were given two single beds pushed together. Another strange design choice was the wardrobe light, which stays on all night with no way to switch it off. The service was disappointing from the moment we arrived. At check-in, staff ignored us until we stepped forward and asked to be assisted. We were simply handed a map with no explanation of where breakfast was served or where any of the facilities were located. We booked a bed and breakfast package. Be aware that if you go to breakfast after 9:30 am, finding a table is a real struggle. If you don't book all-inclusive, it's also extremely difficult to get a table for lunch or dinner because the restaurants are constantly "fully booked." Breakfast itself was disappointing, with flies covering the meat every single morning, which was very off-putting. If you're not staying all-inclusive and want to visit Santa Teresa, expect to pay around €40 each way by taxi. Most of the staff were unhelpful. The exceptions were Javier at the beach bar, who was always smiling, dancing, and creating a great atmosphere, and Angel, who took the time to explain how to get around and helped us on several occasions throughout our stay. For a 5-star resort, the late check-out process was very poorly managed. We were initially told to come the day before departure to arrange it, only to then be told we'd been given incorrect information and should have requested it much earlier. The beach itself is beautiful, but if you want a sun lounger, you need to be there by 7:00 am. Even then, towels were already covering most loungers, presumably left overnight. Reception told us towels left unattended for more than an hour would be removed, but this rule was never enforced. One morning we went down at sunrise and found rubbish and dirty towels scattered all over the beach, which was shocking for a resort claiming to be 5-star. Overall, this resort fell well below expectations. Between the poor service, lack of organisation, hygiene issues, and difficulty accessing basic facilities unless you pay for all-inclusive, we would not return. We definitely wouldn't recommend it, especially considering the price.

Despite what many reviews say, our experience here was very positive. The food was of high quality, the service was attentive, and all the staff throughout the resort were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The private beach is equipped with sun loungers, umbrellas, and a dedicated beach bar. A special thanks to Xavier for his kindness and attentiveness. The sea is absolutely stunning. There is a wide variety of sports and activities available to enjoy during the day. The yoga classes were excellent.There is also a kids’ club for families with children. In the evenings, there was a lovely young singer, Patrizia, whom I would describe with just one word: mesmerizing. We would come back.

Overall we enjoyed our holiday. We travelled as a British family of 2 adults and 2 children age 10 and 13 and were full board. We managed to find something from the buffet to suit everyone every day, but if you have picky eaters you may struggle. One side of restaurant is for cold food/ salad the other offers a hot choice- always a couple of pasta options and a few meat options/ quite often fish, lots of veg. Room clean and comfy, the only niggle we had is the entertainment. For us there wasn’t a lot that was suitable. My son loves padel, we attempted to go 3 times and tried to ring: messaged instructor to book but got no response. We showed up at provisional time anyway just in case, instructor did not. Same thing happened a second time and a third when he cancelled because we were only attendees for a padel tournament. We had stayed up until 10.30 pm for that occasion and were not offered any alternative coaching or activity. Disappointing. There are 2 kids clubs, 1 for younger Italian speakers, second is international- staff lovely but they had very little attendance (at most 5 in the 3 times we went). Kids were ok with playing in pool and booking tennis for themselves but not much else for them to join in with. Negroni hour is advertised as an activity, we thought you might get free negronis! Nope you just get to order them! We had a relaxing time but did miss more integration with other guests and options for activities. Jet 2 advertise this resort as offering darts, table tennis, pétanque, soft play- none of this on offer so prepare for that.
