“Not bad but not great, food not good, a very tired & dated hotel, yet in a great location & clean”
+We decided to stay in a hotel rather than get an apartment as it was in a good location, close to the beach and was good value we opted for breakfast & half board which meant we got dinner included. The reviews I’d seen said it served good traditional Sardinian food, I have been to Sardinia previously and ate Sardinian food and it was always good, so we thought this was a great choice, great value and great location. We were given a double room on 2nd floor with balcony and we could see the sea. The rooms were basic but clean, unfortunately no fridge, no kettle and limited plugs. Bad lighting & it took a bit to work out how to turn on lights . The air con was noisy and pumped out heat onto the balcony so no way could you cool the room whilst sat on balcony. The aircon had a washing up bowl full of water that needed emptying daily. We were not told about this, luckily the maid did this for us. The lack of staff that spoke English was just a nightmare, thank goodness for Google Translate! Every evening we were given a menu for the next night of which we had to pre order, unfortunately it was not available in English so we had to type in the menu into google and sometimes we were stil
+El latino me va a entender, el famoso hotel 5 puntos, desayuno que zafa, habitación zafa, estructura zafa. Nada buenísimo nada malísimo. Pero todo 5 puntos medio ochentoso todo, pero muy limpios y gentiles. La ubicación muy buena incluso sin auto para moverse por varias playas. Los chicos del desayuno unos cracks

“A great little gem. Great location x clean”
+Just returned from a week at San teodora. We chose this hotel because of the location and even though after reading some reviews that were poor we still decided to go for it as we love a family run, quaint, rustic hotel, nothing flash or too big plus we’re not bothered about a pool as we always go to the beach and in the sea. This week was perfect. A great little hotel, 100 yards from the beach which is the biggest beach in Sardinia, busy but lots of places to settle for the day with space whether you like it near one of the 3 beach bars or further along where it’s quieter. We bought a parasol and 2 bamboo beach lays - cost €40 from a shop in the town and these did us for the week rather than paying for the loungers of which we heard were at least €15 each per day . 15 min walk into the beautiful town which was a lovely level walk and helped get our steps in for the day. The town is beautiful day and night with so many gorgeous restaurants and bars. Every meal was delish. There is a restaurant on the way to the beach which we didn’t try till the last night and so wish we would have tried earlier as it was the best meal we had- outstanding and sat in the gardens- a lot of locals eat
+The kindness of the owners and staff in general is indisputable good. It was our first time to a 3 star hotel and We couldn’t understand how it is even possible for such a dated hotel to be rated with stars, never mind 3! The bedroom wasn’t ready after checking in and we were given the keys to the bedroom regardless. When we opened the door the door bashed to the bed because of the size of the bedroom. There is a light in the middle of the headboard which didn’t work and therefore it is for exteriors. Electric socket are low in number and one of them was sinking behind the plate potentially being dangerous also there are no socket with usb. Internet is terrible and the tv is so small , the safe is small and dated, there is no fridge or kettle or a chair to seat. The bathroom is also dated really not hygienic the curtain around the shower. Everything is so old and date. The first nigh we couldn’t sleep between the bedsheets because there was a mark of urine in the middle disgusting also the smell. There were no showers gel or shampoo only one cheep soap bar and when we requested mire we were told tomorrow . Breakfast… with flies and wasps to the food which look disgusting regardless
+La struttura, seppur datata, è di una pulizia incredibile, davvero stanze così pulite si vedono raramente. Molto curato, bello anche il giardino davanti , anch'esso curatissimo. Posizione top cucina n parcheggio gratuito di fronte e a 3 Min a piedi dalla spiaggia della cinta.
+Hotel Scintilla is located right near La Cinta beach. It doesn’t pretend to be any more than comfortable beach side accommodation. All the staff were friendly and very helpful (my lack of Italiano notwithstanding)

“Awful Hotel AVOID!!!!!”
+This hotel has only one thing going for it..The proximity to the beautiful La Cinta Beach and San Torena town which is also stunning and unspoilt. Owners rude, abrupt and not very welcoming. Rooms awful. Whole Hotel needs complete reburshment. Bathrooms stunk of sewage and very basic shower curtain Awful view from balcony of rubbish bins and generator. Woken early hours of morning with vans parking outside and loud conversations. You can hear everyone coming and going and all the noises from other guests using the bathroom! Breakfast awful. No milk for cereal.Vegans not catered for at all. Same thing offered everyday croissants fruit and yoghurt. Informed owner no lock on balcony door- I was on ground floor and travelling solo. She told me it's safe and didnt provide key for me. Do not stay at this hotel it's truly the worst hotel Ive had the misfortune to stay 5 days in. States it 3* Its 1* at most and only for the beach being nearby.
+Ottimo hotel buon rapporto prezzo qualita , eccezionale posizione .
+Posizione ottima
