Club Esse Cala Gonone Beach Village

O primeiro quarto que me foi atribuído tinha um cheiro de mofo muito desagradável, felizmente foi possível trocá-lo Café da manhã muito ruim com dificuldade de achar mesa Arrumação ruim Local adequado para famílias em férias, não para casais jovens Bom entretenimento noturno

We stayed there for two days. Highly recommend not only for the good service, facilities, but also for the dinner buffet which is wonderful!

Whilst the accommodation was reasonable and situated in a lovely location, albeit very hilly, our overall experience wasn’t quite what we expected. We were on a bed and breakfast basis and even arriving at the restaurant at 8.30 am there were lots of food items in short supply and not being replenished. There were often no dishes available to use for cereals/spoons to eat with/cups for coffee. No warm plates for hot food. To make matters worse, the staff on duty didn’t seem to know why basic items were missing. We were a party of 6 adults and made do with what we could find. I would have hated to have children to feed as the food options were very limited. Our overall experience with staff around the complex was not very friendly, apart from at the reception. One male member of the housekeeping team came over as very aggressive and in fact was reported to reception as after delivering extra blankets to 2 of our party he stood in their room demanding payment for having delivered the blankets! Very strange and odd behaviour! The Cala Gonone area is very scenic with plenty of restaurants, coffee bars and shops to visit.

We stayed just for the weekend, we had breakfast and dinner. The menu had different choices, the staff was very friendly. We had a chance to speak with the manager and the front office manager, who helped us with a problem with our transport. Reception staff very helpful, they suggested us some beaches to visit. We appreciated the service of the train that goes down to the beach!

A beautiful location, but sadly everything is designed for Italians. There was no English speaking entertainment at all. The village is very remote, lots of steep hills, so isn't disabled friendly. The food queues were long, 1 server for 4 foods. You queue for one item then if another item is with a different server you have to queue there too, which means food is cold. Pay as you go meals are 25 euros each per meal (lunch or dinner) but food is of much better quality at the seafront, cheaper and no standing in big queues for cold food. But the returning shuttle up the steep hills stop at 7pm, so limited time frame when out. The hotel have made it where you need to be there and have to pay for what they have. They charge 1.80 for a small water that is only 0.39 (exactly the same water) from the supermarket at the beach. But with limited transport you have no choice but to pay the hotel prices. No uber, no taxis and steep hills. However, many of the local workers were so friendly, the shuttle bus driver was lovely and helpful, many of the bar staff were great and so was a lifeguard. The scenery is stunning . If you aren't bothered by being remote and aren't hoping for entertainment then it's the perfect place.
