풀먼 티미 아마 세르데냐

Für ein 5-Sterne-Hotel hätten wir mehr erwartet. Der Boden um die Poolbar herum sah durch alte Flecken der Datteln aus den Palmen immer dreckig aus. Für den gezahlten Preis hätte ich zumindest die Softgetränke im Zimmer kostenlos erwartet, statt satte 6 Euro dafür zu verlangen. Überhaut sind die Preise viel zu hoch. Ein Cocktail, der im Martiniglas serviert wurde, kostete 18 Euro! Abendessenbuffet pro Person 65 Euro OHNE Getränke, viel zu viel, da könnten wenigstens Softgetränke und vielleicht ein Tischwein inkludiert sein. Frühstück war jeden Morgen das selbe Angebot. Hier kennen wir es auch aus 4-Sterne-Hotels, dass es auch z.B. 1 Glas Prosecco zur Selbstbedienung gibt - hier leider nicht. Das Abendprogramm (Musik) war immer zu laut für den kleinen Bereich und die Anzahl der anwesenden Gäste. Im Zimmer haben uns Haken zum auslüften getragener Kleidung gefehlt, auch auf dem Balkon wäre eine Schnur oder ein Wäscheständer für die nasse Badekleidung schön gewesen. Sogar in unserem jetzigen 4-Sterne-Hotel gibt es einen kleinen Wäscheständer auf dem Balkon! Wir werden leider nicht noch einmal kommen.

The hotel is about a five-minute drive from Villasimius, 65 minutes from Cagliari Airport, and around 75 minutes from Cagliari itself. After turning off the main road at a roundabout, you drive down a short dirt track with signage for reception. Guests enter through a gate and park in front of the hotel. Check-in was straightforward — we arrived at 12:30, waited about 10 minutes, and were then upgraded. ⸻ First Impressions & Design The hotel’s interior design is questionable — the lobby furniture is mismatched, and the colour choices feel jarring rather than stylish. The terrace above the dining area offers pleasant views of the pool, however. ⸻ Room We stayed in Room 1011, a ground-level room with a terrace facing the inner courtyard. This can be noisy when other guests are on phone calls, as sound echoes. • Design: cupboard doors decorated in bright abstract green patterns (Sardinian weave style), and an unusual green-and-white ethnic-style headboard. • Beds: one double and one single. • Amenities: one small bottle of water per day (insufficient, especially with a coffee machine), four Nespresso capsules, glasses, and wine glasses. Storage space was good. • Bathroom: spacious, with two sinks, large shower, bidet, toiletries, and a window for ventilation. • Terrace: table and two chairs (both scratched and aged), sandy floor that wasn’t regularly swept. ⸻ Spa & Facilities The spa was disappointing. • Pool: seawater at 34°C, but many hydro-pressure points did not work. • Steam rooms: no cold shower nearby, making them uncomfortable to use. • Salt room: relaxing. • Noise: loud compressor spoiled the ambience. • Cost: €45 felt excessive given the condition. Bicycles were available, but of the six, four had flat tyres and were unusable. Despite reporting this, they weren’t repaired the next day. ⸻ Breakfast Breakfast was busy and service inconsistent. • Coffee: machine coffee was poor; barista coffee only average. • Food: fruit was fresh, and the juice station (though with long queues) was good. Pastries and cakes were clearly factory-made. Cold cuts and bread seemed supermarket-quality. Hot food was underwhelming — bacon not crispy, sausages average, baked beans tasted odd, scrambled eggs bland. The omelette station was particularly disappointing: instead of proper omelettes, they used pancake batter. ⸻ Pool & Beach The pool is large with plenty of space and well-spaced sunbeds, including some in the gardens for quieter relaxation. The beach is about a five-minute walk away, or you can take the buggy. The sand and sea here are truly stunning — one of the best in the Mediterranean. • Sunbeds: front two rows cost extra (€90 and €60 per day). These come with padded loungers and tables. Free sunbeds from the third row back are close together and less comfortable. • Ambience: water aerobics at 11:30 and fitness sessions at 16:00 add activity but may disturb those seeking a peaceful beach day. ⸻ Gym The gym has dated equ

We stayed here for 4 nights and had a great time. I really wanted to give this place 5 stars but got pulled down by a couple of elements. The positives; Nice big resort with heaps of room to spread out. The beach is stunning and one of the best that I’ve been to. Private beach club at the beach is very good. The staff are mostly super friendly The rooms are very nice size and super clean The free buggy transfer to beach works really well The negatives Breakfast is big but nothing with substance, all food average and nothing great. Charging $95 Euros for a front row chair at the beach. I understand there should be some charge but believe it’s overpriced. Charging $15 Euros for an Aperol Spritz. I’m from Australia, that’s almost $30 in my currency! I had booked a couples massage at the spa 2 months in advance and received confirmation. 2 hours before, once we organised our whole day around the massages, I received a call that they have to cancel. One of the therapist is sick I was told, which I can understand can happen but then I asked about why is the whole thing cancelled and not just for one of us, as its for a couples massage, she said both therapist were sick, which sounds like a massive coincidence! This didn’t leave a good last impression to us. Lastly, I know it’s been mentioned in other reviews, would be great to bring back the shuttle bus to Villasimius town, even at a small fee. Paying $30-40 euro for a return trip for taxis for a 5 minute trip is excessive. They offer free bikes to ride into town but it’s not really safe at night to do this, dark un surfaced roads

What a wonderful place to stay, we were upgraded to room 3120, which was lovely, on the ground floor, double aspect windows with French doors opening out to a large balcony. It was spotless and the service was impeccable. You also got a free bottle of water daily. All the staff at the hotel were helpful and courteous and friendly. There is a private beach that belongs to the hotel, it is a 10 min walk away or you can get a buggy which is constantly running. The sunbeds and towels at the beach are free, except for the 2 front rows and there is a café there for drinks etc. The only downside was the toilets, there are none at the beach itself, you have to walk 2 mins to the restaurant and use those. The hotel is Grand, a 30 minute was to the main town that has lots of restaurants and shops. The walk isn't a bad one if you like walking as it's pretty flat, it's nice to walk a meal off. We ate a couple of times at the hotel, the first night we went to the pizza restaurant, which was a fun experience as you get to try lots of different pizzas. Another night we ate at the restaurant by the beach, which I thought was very good and not badly priced. The pool area is nice and immaculate, there are no toilets by the pool either, you have to go to the spa, which was a bit inconvenient. Every night there was some kind of entertainment, a disco, or star gazing, all different things. I would defiantly recommend this resort as we had such a wonderful time.

Guests can reach Timi Ama beach with a 5-minute walk or with the hotel’s free electric land train. It is very usefull. Superior Double Rooms with Garden View are very modern and comfortable. Great restaurant. I highly recommend it.

A stunning resort with a beautiful private beach, courts for tennis, volleyball and padel, and swimming pool. The restaurants at this resort were excellent and the room service was top notch. Overall, the experience and ambiance were perfect, and didn’t make us feel like we missed out on seeing the rest of Sardinia.
