Marina Country

We had a 4 night stay here with the mother and sister in law. It was still early/pre-season, so was it was quiet as there was no real entertainment on apart from a guitarist/singer who was outside near the bar area of an evening and when not performing would play similar backing tracks. There were only a few younger children staying at the time and there wasn't really much at this hotel for them to do apart from the pool and a play park shared with the larger hotel a few hundred metres away. It was popular with other Europeans (French and Germans predominantly) with a large group of women there for a health conference/cycling holiday. Lots of sun beds around the pool which was also a fair size and you could get beach towels from reception. A short walk to the beach where you could use the loungers and get soft drinks as part of the all inclusive package. The walk in to the nearby town was flat and could be done in 30 minutes at a leisurely pace. All the staff were very friendly and helpful, Vanessa the hotel manager came over to our group on our first day to introduce herself and assure us that should we have any questions/issues then she was available. The room was clean, well equipped, with a very large double bed, a good amount of storage with a free to use safe in part of the wardrobe. The dining area was a good size with the option to be seated inside or out (once allocated your table, you kept it for the duration of your stay). The only bar area was outside, which at this time was still on the cool side in the evenings with the risk of insect bites and a lot of the Europeans tended to smoke which was off putting for us given how long the smoking ban has been in place in UK pubs/clubs/bars. Food choice was fairly good, with lots of fish options although while there was a menu displayed, it would have been better if each dish had been labelled to ease identification rather than guessing, especially if someone is vegan/vegetarian. Both the bar area and restaurant had red/white wine on tap as well as Birra Moretti. Our last night was on a Saturday and we could hear some form of celebratory noise/music which we believe was linked to the neighbouring hotel as there had been a large wedding party taking place earlier in the day.

We had a fantastic 10 days at the Sentido Orosei. Food was really good with a station offering freshly cooked chicken, fish and beef every day, breakfast lovely, fresh fruit, pastries, yogurt and eggs, bacon etc. Had a spacious room with large balcony overlooking the pool, this was cleaned every day with fresh towels. Cannot say enough good things about the staff, happy to help with anything you needed. Would love to return
