“Located a short walk from a private beach in Cala Gonone, this family-oriented resort presents a mixed bag. On one hand, activities abound, especially for children, with dedicated entertainment and play areas; on the other, accessibility challenges and language barriers might test some visitors, and some services may not be up to par. For those prioritizing kid-friendly amenities and proximity to the sea, this could be a worthwhile choice, if they are prepared for some drawbacks.”
