Hotel dei Pini - Alghero

Pro's - Really nice hotel in a good location on the beech. Con's - Terrible restaurant, snooty waiter with a bad attitude, pre/re heated dry food. Beach is really busy and the beach peddlers sit on the hotel sunbeds to sell their stuff or to have a rest which is a bit unsettling and I'm suprised the management allow this happen. Finally the sea is very very cold here from some strange reason, not like anywhere else on the Island (we stayed at 4 other hotels/locations)

the beach and view are great. the food at hotel restaurant was very good. Service was excellent.

We attending our friends wedding here. It was a perfect location, all guests where looked after royally. There is also plenty of room so wedding guests & non-wedding guests have there own space. We'd recommend a room with a sea view. Highly recommend the hotel for a short chill out break. Bear in mind, Alghero is the nearest town with restaurants and nightlife, it is a €15-€20 taxi ride away. There is a bus from the main road but that is a 5-10min walk (with your luggage)

Recently spent a week in hotel dei pini near alghero. Location of hotel on beach was beautiful. Staff all very friendly. Breakfast in the mornings was very good, although finished quite early at 10am. The hotel itself was out of the town quite a bit. Definitely needed a car.

The hotel is in a perfect location for La Bombarde beach, looking directly across the water to the city of Alghero and mountains in the distance, which is especially beautiful during a sunset dinner from the beachside restaurant. The water is beautiful and the sand is very nice. However, without a car, you're basically locked into staying there at the resort without access to anything else outside of the hotel, including a different place to eat, except for the tiny snack bars on the beach, which seem to serve less-than-fresh light food. The beach is beautiful, no doubt about it, and the service was very friendly and helpful. The hotel rooms are small, but meet their needs. Tiny showers, but again, not a major complaint. The decor is a bit plain, but really is fine and again, you're there for the setting, and that can't be beat with it's location right on the beach. I would definitely recommend this hotel for a stay of a few days, as its faults or downsides are just small matters compared to the positives of its location right on the beach. However, a longer stay might not have such a high recommendation, as the food was not as good as what is available in town and because it's tough to reach anything else in the area, you're stuck there for the duration of your stay without a car.
