Forte Village Resort - Bouganville

Nog nooit zo slecht hotel gehad in mijn leven en zoveel geld voor betaal!! Service superslecht mensen knetter chagrijnig en super super smerig!! Na eerste dag al weg gelijk terug!  

We were excited for this holiday as it cost in the region of £12,000 for 7 days (2 adults and 3 kids) and have enjoyed other parts of Italy so really didn’t have any nerves regarding issues. Upon arrival we were a few hours early so had to wait for the room which I understand but we made our way to the kids pool next to reception, I have to say as a first impression it was horrendous, filth around the pool, generally looked as though it hadn’t been cleaned all summer. At this stage we were filled with dread as to what may be at the next hurdle. We were under the impression that we were getting a refurbed bungalow so was shocked to see a dated cramped room with an even more dated cramped adjoining room attached to the back that would potentially be used separately for a single person/couple. The rooms were attended to daily by great staff but I guess are under pressure to get the beds made etc so can’t really get it to the clean standard you’d expect at this price. I did go to reception to make the staff aware that the room wasn’t satisfactory and was told it would cost me £800 - £1000 per night to upgrade. Gianni the manager who was a pleasant man wasn’t able to help but I do understand he’s not the owner and is probably trying his best to accommodate everybody whilst managing budgets for staffing. We tried most places for food and we thoroughly enjoyed that side of it however the one exception was the evening buffet at Pinneta which honestly i’d struggle to give 1 out of 5, you weren’t even able to pick the food yourself it was awash with staff to hand out food that would be more fitting in a homeless shelter. The majority of the pool areas were never attended to in terms of cleanliness so always felt dirty and was always standing on something in the pool (not dangerous but annoying). By far the most annoying thing was the constant dodging buggy’s and bikes with small children in our party, it felt like I spent 7 days diving into bushes to avoid being run over. I can’t comprehend money being invested in entertainment staff in the breakfast room at 7:30am when this place needs people really keeping on top of its housekeeping. I don’t think anybody cares for a singer at 7:30am. To summarise this trip 1 - Staff are amazing throughout 2 - It really needs a thorough clean 3 - Bring your expectations down if you’ve been to Dubai/Maldives/Greece as this isn’t as close. 4 - Clean, Clean & Clean!!! 5 - Don’t expect paradise and you’ll do ok!

I had the most incredible experience at Forte Village in Sardinia! 🌴🌊 The resort's location right by the Mediterranean Sea is a visual dream come true, offering everything you need inside the resort! There is plenty of space in the rooms and they are air-conditioned, which is a must for me! The staff is friendly and attentive. Excellent hygiene standards and plenty of towels! The service was top-notch, with the staff going out of their way to make my stay comfortable and memorable. 🏖️ Several guests that I met have been visiting the resort every summer for years, as a couple or with their family, which is impressive! The range of dining options serving both Italian delights and international cuisine was a gastronomic delight. I highly recommend going after dinner to Tikki for shisha, cocktails, and a boogie or a glass at The Wine Bar with live entertainment. The Thalasso del Forte Spa is a must-visit for relaxation enthusiasts. It consists of six pure Sardinian seawater pools offering the ultimate detox. Sports lovers will be spoiled for choice with golf, tennis, water sports, and an upbeat HIIT class. If you're looking for a luxurious escape and are ready to splurge, this place is worth it. 🏝️ All in all, Forte Village offers a lavish retreat in one of Italy's most beautiful spots. If you're up for indulgence, relaxation, and an unforgettable time, don't miss out on this gem! ✨
