Baia Di Chia Resort Sardinia, Curio Collection By Hilton

This resort is perfectly located between the crystal clear blue waters and luscious nature. The resort is well maintained, kudos to the gardening team! The breakfast spread was superb and fresh. The staff are welcoming and always wish to help where they can. We also liked that we could continue using the facilities after check-out. It is easy to get to and from the beach and the beach bar + on-site bathroom is a major bonus. The gym was clean and contained a lot of useful equipment. Lastly, the buggy service was super convenient, especially during the warmer climate.

When we checked into our room, we noticed the floor was not cleaned properly. To participate in activities such as the sauna, tennis, padel etc. you need to pay an out-of-pocket fee of minimum €45, ideally these activities should be included in the accommodation costs. Additionally, the dinner set menu is expensive given the small food quantity provided I.e if you order the chicken skewers, you will only receive 2 medium-sized skewers and no side. When you’re paying €45 for 2 courses (most likely dinner and dessert given the large complimentary bread basket that’s provided before your main meal), the food portion seemed unreasonable.

The Resort had just reopened for the new season so we were almost alone and they upgraded us with a better view. The staff was exceptionally welcoming and warm. Very well located on this side of the Island, close to everything and to beautiful beaches. There was amenities and activities we could not try but only because of the weather (lots of wind and medium temperatures). Everything felt serene and relaxing. The resort has 2 private beaches and that made all the difference!! Overall it was a good experience and would go back.

I did not like the food so much, except the breakfast which was great. And it was super expensive compared to local restaurants. We had good dishes and medium ones but in the end prices were a bit higher, which is quite normal for higher-end resorts...

The facility was clean and the water view was nice.

I believe the advertising of this facility could have been better. The only way to get around the "campus" is by shuttle which is basically a long golf cart. To get the cart reception had to be called. The carts were timely but you could not go to reception or to the dining area without them. We were able to walk to the beach entry but other rooms would need the shuttle. The beach was difficult to get to due to the climb down the stone and wood steps which felt dangerous. There was no bathroom at the beach without a climb back up the steps. Additionally, no staff came around to see if food or drink was wanted. The room was terribly small and we had a "deluxe king room." We could not even open two large suitcases without blocking part of the room. Even then one suitcase had to be put on top of the desk. There was nothing "deluxe" or "king" about the room. The breakfast required the shuttle and went until 10:30am. The staff did not re-stock the food near the close and all the food disappeared at 10:30am sharp. It seemed the facility was short on staff and I would imagine that was due to the closeness to the end of the season. We ate on campus twice but the best meal was outside the hotel at Mirage. I am a Hilton Honors member and have never been disappointed by a facility until this trip. In sum, we were extremely disappointed. The rating I am submitting is stating it was a "7" but I would say it is more like a "5."

Super location and the reception team were extremely helpful

We had issues with our accommodation not being cleaned by a reasonable time of 3pm so we either had to wait for housekeeping or call reception to get the room cleaned. We were very disappointed that there were additional charges for facilities such as tennis or padel courts or if you wanted a sun lounger in the first row next to the sea when pricing would have suggested these were all part of the package.
