Hotel Relax Torreruja Thalasso & Spa

“Super relaxing stay”

What I loved most about this hotel was the cool sea breeze by the pool so I tanned rather than sweated. And no mosquitos. Nothing irritated us.

What I loved most about this hotel was the cool sea breeze by the pool so I tanned rather than sweated. And no mosquitos. Nothing irritated us. Lots of space, well-mannered guests, delicious food and well-trained staff. We hired a car for a fortnight which was perhaps unnecessary as the roads are tough going and the sights an hour or more away. Easier to stay by the pool. A super relaxing holiday and we are ready to return to reality. Grazie di tutto.

This is a beautifully designed hotel in a stunning setting at the edge of cliffs overlooking the sea. The grounds are filled with plants and herbs, there is an outdoor fitness area, and private sunbathing areas. The saltwater pool is large and uncrowded. The bathing platforms on the rocks provide access to a sublime snorkelling area and there are two long beaches within walking distance which are great for serious swimming (but beware the jellyfish!) The room was comfortable with a relaxing terrace, good air con and shower. There is a kettle and a mini fridge. Although on the edge of the hotel near the road, it was still very quiet. As vegetarians (no meat, no fish), we are quite demanding. Generally, there was a good selection of veggie food of a high standard in the buffet, including salads and hot meals. There were one or two disappointing moments, for example, on our late arrival I had asked for a vegetarian plate (specifically no meat, no. fish) to be saved for us but we were served fish. On a couple of occasions, the vegetarian food labels included bacon and fish. However, the restaurant managers were quick to react on all occasions, and even offered to serve us from the al carte menu. The staff, generally, were very pleasant. We would especially like to congratulate the entertainments manager who ensured a high quality of live music almost every night – the best we have heard in a hotel. Concerts were held in the beautiful outdoor bar overlooking the pool. We were even taught salsa one night, and watched a fireworks display in the town on another. The entertainment was welcome because Isola Rossa, where the hotel is situated, was a bit dead in the evenings. It’s a rather charmless place with several over-priced and limited (vegetarian-wise) restaurants – a lunchtime salad, consisting of little more than lettuce and tomatoes, costs around 16 euros! We were relieved to have booked half board. It's a long way from Olbia Airport (one-and-a-half-hour drive) but the hotel arranged efficient transfers. A tip – the hotel quotes 120 euros for a round taxi trip to the nearest cultural place of interest, Castelsardo. We were able to book through e-boat (an excursion agency) for 55 euros.

“Brilliant holiday”

This was my fourth visit to the Hotel as always everything was absolutely excellent on all fronts. Will be back again. The pool was beautiful with fantastic views. Very quiet location excellent food. The food impartially on the terrace restaurant was exceptional

“Beautiful sunsets from the private terrace”

We moved to this hotel from the sister 5 stars hotel Marinedda due to some issues and were pleasantly surprised :) The junior suite (560) right on top of the restaurant was great with a wonderful terrace providing breathtaking sea view and beautiful sunsets.

We moved to this hotel from the sister 5 stars hotel Marinedda due to some issues and were pleasantly surprised :) The junior suite (560) right on top of the restaurant was great with a wonderful terrace providing breathtaking sea view and beautiful sunsets. The swimming pool was big and with a salty water making the beach experience secondary! The hotel personnel was welcoming and generally helpful. They have a good spa which worth trying at least once during the stay. They also play live music every evening in the snack bar near the pool. The points for improvement were the somewhat mediocre breakfast; the quality of the lunch in the snack bar vs. price; and having only one buggy to take to the beach ( for someone with disabilities it is important even if the beach was 7-8 min walk from the hotel). Overall a positive experience, would consider returning or recommending (especially junior suites).
