Grand Colonna Capo Testa Hotel

This hotel cannot by comparison to other resorts be called 5 star. Reception 3.5 stars / Food 5 star / Facilities 4.
Swimming pool ideal for kids no more than 3ft, not for adults wanting a swim. There is a gym but you have to find the key and then try and find the power supply not worth time and effort. Very windy spot. Red flag fly's on the 3.5 star beach most days end of June beginning of July.
Finally I will come to the rooms, we had a sea view room, bit old fashioned but probably an un refurbished room 3.5 stars. On our second day we returned to the room at lunchtime to find it filled with the smell of raw sewage, we were not the only ones, a honeymoon couple in the adjacent room to us had the same problem. From here on in the management of the hotel proved the lowest of the low. We were (1) told to put the plugs in our basin, shower and bidet. (2) they offered us the room the honeymoon couple had made vacant as they moved on to their new room. (3) offered an upgrade i.e ground floor with additional single bed in the double room, the view was a 6ft stone wall where gardeners looked into our room and kids played outside and we were able to walk out over the little wall surrounding our ''balcony''.
After much thought we came to the conclusion that when the red flag was flying you had to put up with the smell of sewage in the sea view rooms. Holiday company no use what so ever in fact became quite shirty when we pointed out that we had spent so much time waiting to meet/speak to people and moving our bags twice, we ended up missing out on the very things we chose the hotel for eg Corsica and surrounding islands.
All in all it would be very nice to go back to Sardinia and have the holiday we should have had. Everyone says how beautiful it is. I will note I cannot find the hotel in the 'Just Sardinia' online brochure and therefore assume the have stopped dealing with them.
