Book Porto Rafael hotels

Aethos Sardinia is absolutely beautiful. The grounds are impeccably maintained, with stunning views throughout the property that make it feel like a true escape. The staff were welcoming, attentive, and the rooms were spotless and very comfortable. The only downside to our stay was the food and beverage offering. While it’s understandable to pay a premium for convenience, the menu was quite limited and the pricing felt unreasonably high for what was offered. Although it’s possible to walk into town for meals, we found the nearby options to be fairly mediocre. We had much better dining experiences by driving about 10 minutes outside the area. Overall, Aethos offers a beautiful setting and a relaxing atmosphere, and I would consider staying again—just with a different plan for meals.

Hotel clean and functional, but rather dated as other reviews mention. Plenty of secure parking available on site off-season. Pool area looked okay, but didn't take advantage. Breakfast not of great quality, and breakfast supervisor man rather hostile and peculiar, overly protective over his seating arrangements with multiple guests being relocated having sat at the "wrong table".

Great staff central position

Wonderful hotel and location. The staff were also amazing - 5*

Good

Booked this hotel with my brother to celebrate his engagement. Being a Marriott, we had solid expectations… which were quickly “adjusted.” First thing: they charge for everything. €10 just to get room service, and a note in the room basically warning that bringing in outside food could cost you up to €200. So yes, your Lidl sandwich might be a financial risk. We booked mainly for the pool (it’s the main photo). Got there in April, 24°C, ready to relax… only to be told it’s closed because it’s “not warm enough for the locals.” Apparently this happens a lot, the disclaimer is there, just buried at the bottom. Then the deposit: €50 per night, so €150 total. My brother got charged €400. Staff admitted it was a mistake, but the refund only came at the end of the stay, not ideal. Room phone was broken, but we did get a free upgrade after asking to move, which was probably the highlight. Other quirks: “free” gym you can’t use unless you’re a Delta member, and shared balconies where you can enjoy your drink alongside someone else’s TV. Breakfast was great. Dinner? €25 for a small pasta. Also odd for allergies: clear labeling at breakfast, but peanuts everywhere at dinner and €10 to remove ingredients. Overall: decent hotel trying to feel luxury, while charging you for breathing too enthusiastically. Would I stay again? Only if I skip the snacks, forget the pool, and watch my bank account closely.
