Swadeshi Sporting Hotel Tanca Manna

“Loved it.... Eventually...read below. :-)”

So... lets start with "eventually".. We drove the 3.5 hours from Cagliari airport to the hotel and yes it is a trek! When we eventually arrived we couldn't find reception because there are NO SIGNS big enough to show you where exactly it is! When we did , reception were delightful and empathised with our plight. The apartment (because that's what they are) are big and comfortable with all the necessary equipment to enjoy a self catering holiday. With the exception of a kettle.. there's no kettle but there was a pot to boil..oh and no micro wave either!! However...there is a small supermarket in the complex with FRESH pasta every day.....absolutely superb. Our sunrises every morning were exceptional we had room 211!! We went B&B and if you time it correctly all the food will be fresh. Its a decent breakfast with choices for everybody. BIG plus is the swimming pool and the Staff. Genuinely nice lad who looked after everybody that came poolside. The ONLY downside was the music and the level it was at.. if you want to attract adults to use the pool, lower the volume. KIDS will always want to use the pool. BUT by far THE best feature of the hotel is just how close it is to the beach..to the Med...they even have a little tunnel under the road so you don't have to cross a constantly busy road.Overall we had a fantastic experience and would actually return to the hotel..as long as they lower the music! ;-) Oh and PS... The market on a Monday in Cannigione is spectacular!! Go and enjoy the area go and enjoy the local town and enjoy this excellent little hotel!

“Pool often closed”

If you appreciate a really beautiful pool (2.5m deep) then check before you go! We spent a fortnight at this hotel and the pool was shut for half the days we were there. Sometimes because there was no lifeguard ,sometimes 'maintenance issues' . The lift in the hotel didn't work for the entire time we were there. Many of the things they promise are not delivered - there is no entertainment programme and the local parade of shops/ restaurants spa etc. are all closed down. If you aren't eating at the hotel you need a hire car. There are NO local restaurants or bars (except one excellent day time beach bar) . As all the reviews say this hotel is tired and badly in need of investment and smartening up. On the plus side it was quiet and comfortable and the sheets and towels were changed daily. the buffet breakfast was generous and comprehensive. They just need to pull their socks up , invest in updating the facilities , and to remember that people only have a one or two week holiday - so saying that the pool or lift may be repaired ' in a few days; is not fair or good enough.
