This large resort has extensive sporting facilities including an Olympic size pool and an additional training pool. It's frequented by athletes, sports teams, and tourists wishing to explore the northern end of Sardinia. Rooms here are large but plain, but the massive modern bathrooms are a nice perk. Visiting in the off season may help not only ensure a better price, but also safeguard against the crowds of sports teams that fill the facilities in the peak months of July and August (although it will mean no AC).
