Sardinia: 75% Fail
As I sit here in the lobby of the “spa and resort” we’re staying in, gnawing away at the keyboard of my iPhone to make this post because there’s no wifi in our room, I’m startled and amazed at what Italians will do to cheat.
Does this place have wifi? Yes, in the lobby. Does this place have room service? Yes, during dinner. Does this place have breakfast included? Yes, cold cereal and automatic coffee from a machine. Does this place have access to the water? Yes, from stone platforms, no beach. Does this place have a restaurant? Yes, but only one price fixe menu, no choices. $40 per person.
Does this place have staff? Yes, behind the counter, sometimes. Does this place have spectacular views? Yes, please pay us $500 per night now. Grazie.
Does this place claim to be a four star resort, that was an anchor of our trip, a break in the middle? A place to rest before traveling to yet another country? Sure does. Viva Italia, we cut corners at your expense.
Well, we headed to a beach that ended up being a bit of a crowded dump (suggested by our hosts). At least the kids liked it. Special occasion for them, we don’t get to the beach much, we’d been looking forward to that. So we’re not sharing with then that plywood on the beach isn’t cool. Nate thinks it’s fun to throw it in the water and try to sink it.
Completely disappointed in this liars hotel. But, at least the kids will have fun until we have to get up at 4am to catch the only boat out of here.
Rant off. At least it’s pretty and Kathy’s great.
