Cape Spartivento, Sardinia hotel rooms at the Independent

"We had a mixed experience overall. When we arrived, we were offered a “welcome drink,” but it was not complimentary, we had to pay for it. This felt a bit misleading and could be communicated more clearly. The room cleanliness could also be improved. There was noticeable hair on the bathroom floor, and the room had a damp, musty smell, which made it less comfortable. Some basic amenities were missing. There was no milk provided with the coffee, and it took three requests before it was delivered. At the beach, coffee was also served without milk, which seems like a simple detail that should be addressed. Housekeeping was inconsistent throughout our stay. On different days, essential items were missing, such as toilet paper or water, and toiletries like soap, cotton buds, and cotton pads were not replenished. After one service, the rubbish bin was also left full. These are small things individually, but together they affect the overall experience. The hotel’s own linen policy was also not followed. The information card states that linen is changed daily unless requested otherwise, but in our case it was not changed after several days and only done after we raised it at reception. That said, there were also some very positive aspects. Breakfast was really enjoyable, and one staff member who was present every day provided excellent and attentive service. Dinner was also a highlight, the tuna steak was outstanding. The swimming pool and pool bar area felt very luxurious and"

"Beautiful place calm, peaceful and great service. We only had breakfast & evening cocktails, well located with near by beaches a 40 min drive from the airport. We loved it"

"Disappointing. The room was lovely as well as the pools however sadly the staff were not friendly as mentioned in other reviews and we often felt ignored or like they were not interested. There wasn’t much of an atmosphere in the day and it just felt a bit flat. The hotel is a bit off the beaten track ensure you hire a car and fly to Cagliari Airport. The casual restaurant food was mediocre however the formal restaurant food was very nice! "

"This hotel is not bad. However, it is on top of a supermarket , close to the town by-pass and overlooking a petrol station, so not a great vibe. It is a convenient base to explore the area. You can walk in to Pula which has a good selection of restaurants etc. The hotel breakfast was nice. The evening pizzeria also. The room was ok, but nowhere in the bathroom to hang towels. We didn't use the paddling pool as it closes early evening for the pizzeria to open. Limited free parking. Friendly and mostly helpful staff. "

"Had a great time at Latana. It is a short walk into Pula, and the people in town were generally quite nice and accommodating. Nora beach and Archeological Park are both awesome. Staff was great. We had the breakfast plan and were quite satisfied with it. No complaints whatsoever. Everything was perfect."

"Check in was great as done by Victoria who was only covering the desk as colleague was on lunch. She was informative, helpful and knowledgeable, sadly that's not to say for any of the 'normal' reception staff. Room was clean and comfortable if on the small side. Hotel garden with pools and access to beach is lovely and very relaxing. However, overall service leaves a lot to be desired; staff were inattentive at the bar around the pool and during breakfast time. The "hot" breakfast items were cold, the cold items took a while to get replenished and overall the choice wasn't great. "

"Excellent facilities. The beach is great very shallow and clean. And the hotel in general the pool and tennis courts are great."

"It is hotel for the kids due to the sports and all activities. Don’t expect great service and luxury. The included food is average and only the good food could be found at the restaurants you pay. The staff is not completely fluent in English so if you order something expect receiving the incorrect order for example ordering a drink could be challenging unless is something straight forward like a Beer. The fact that the kids enjoy it balances out a bit. In our opinion given the price it is not worth it. If you are going to give it a try we suggest no more than a week or 5 days."

"Overall good for a hotel in Italy. Best European room I’ve ever stayed in. The pool is great. The beach is nice. The food is mediocre, I was disappointed that you can’t even get a glass of tap water without paying. It is difficult to get into the restaurant for dinner unless you are doing all inclusive. The restaurant down the street is nice, and taking the 1 euro bus ride to Pula is an even better dinner option. The staff all seemed friendly, especially the cleaning ladies. It was very quiet and the pool entertainers worked hard. "
