Removed from Costa Rei's center and a seven-minute walk from a sandy beach, the 20-room, mid-range Hotel Il Vascello is a serene spot primarily popular with Italian couples and families. Rooms are on the small side and have old-fashioned, simple decor, but they come with satellite flat-screen TVs, minibars, and rainfalls showers. Additionally, many of them have distant ocean views from the furnished balconies. On-site features consist of a pleasant pool with a hot tub, an all-day restaurant serving modern twists on traditional Sardinian cuisine, a lobby bar, and free parking. Travelers looking for a beachfront hotel with more amenities should check out the Eos Village.

The 60-room Piscina Rei Hotel is a quaint Sardinian waterfront retreat with direct access to a beautiful private beach. The green grounds are connected by pathways that lead to amenities such as barbecue grills, a children's play area with swings, and an on-site restaurant and bar. Rooms are decorated with traditional, but somewhat outdated, furniture and decor, and have charming patios that look out onto the hotel gardens. For more modern furnishing, Il Vascello Hotel is an option, but it's farther away from the beach.
