It is located in the Chia Laguna, one of the clusters of 4 and 5 stars of hotels. Beautifully managed landscapes and access to private beaches make this resort very attractive. However, it is for those who don't care about the quality of the hotel and for those who want to just sleep at night and take the most of the activities outside of the room. In terms of quality of the room, it requires lots of attention. You are most likely to enter your room through the sliding door, and then there is your bed, and there is a bathroom with a shower and toilet, bidet, and the sink. The bed is not comfortable, and there is a weird sewage smell coming from the bathroom, we had to spray our perfume and close the bathroom door, and leave the bathroom windows open. Typically, the hotel bathroom is a joy to enter, but this bathroom was one of those bathrooms that wanted to get out as fast as possible, especially with sewage smell. I had to dry my hair outside of bathroom so the sewage smell doesn't get to my hair. (Enough said) On top of our not-so-impressed experience, our neighbor left the TV on loud and party in their room until 3am, we couldn't sleep at all. Contacted the front desk at 1am, but loud noise still continued. Thank God, we only had to stay 1 night. I would have looked for another hotel if we had to stay one more night. Hotel reservations came with 2 meals, breakfast, and a dinner buffet. It was one of the worst food experiences not only in Italy but also in all the places we have ever been. At a glance, the buffet seemed fine and attractive, but as soon as we started tasting the food, we felt right away, we cannot expect much. Most of the dishes were extremely salty, lacked flavors, and the quality of each ingredient was bad compared to the dishes that we experienced in Cagliari.
If you only care about the location and the beautiful beach access, this is the place for you, but if you care about all the aspects of what the resort hotel supposed to offer, it might be wise to either spend a bit more money and stay at either Curio or Conrad properties or consider different location or hotels. Hope this review helps you to decide where to stay in Chia Laguna.

Guest UserA short walk from the Santa Gallura ARST drop off in the centre of Olbia to the Hotel.
It is modern, spotlessly clean, comfortable with a lovely pool area and a spa.
It was close to the rail station to catch the train to Cagliari.
The hotel staff were friendly,
helpful and one excellent English especially a young lady named Sofia.
We enjoyed an excellent buffet breakfast in a vast unusual dining room auditorium.
Tea/coffee making facilities would have made our stay perfect.
Highly recommended
Would love to share photos but don't know how to send from phone to tablet.

Anonymous UserThe hotel's front desk staff are polite and patient, a bit like the butlers in British TV series, haha.
The facilities are good, with showers, hot water, toiletries, and a small refrigerator with various paid drinks. The sheets and bath towels are white and clean. The hotel is very environmentally conscious and encourages continuous use. You can see the sea from the small balcony.
The hotel is in a great location and parking is very convenient. A few dozen meters ahead is the private yacht berth, where you can book a sea trip. There is a tourist center nearby, where you can buy round-trip tickets to visit the La Maddalena Archipelago National Park. There is a supermarket next to the hotel, and the vegetables, fruits, and bread are all very fresh.

Guest UserHotel is right in front of a big beach. Super not touristy and crowded beach and the scenery is very soft and calming.
There is a cat and dog at the hotel that just walks around freely. They are both very friendly and fun to play with !!!
As for the rooms, it is decently big for a 3 person room. Toilet is clean with enough amenities. Water pressure of the shower head is a bit weak sometimes but still ok. The beds are comfortable enough. However, there are quite a bit of insects flying around (I assume mostly because of the location of the hotel being near the beach and sandy areas).
Restaurant at the hotel is quite good ! Dinner menu has a wide variety but availability of dishes depend on the day. As for breakfast, quite a handful of food is given like fruit platter, crossaints, yogurt, cereal, and choice of drinks. Staff are also friendly and understand English just enough, and are helpful when we ask something. Hotel area is quite small but honestly just enough for a short stay.

We absolutely loved our stay at Il Nuovo Gabbiano. The location is fantastic, right next to the port and in the centre of everything. The beach is only a 2 minute walk away! The view from the balcony was incredible with stunning views of the sea and mountains. Despite it being right next to the port, noise was minimal. Breakfast was extra at €14pp each day however we chose to buy juice and pastries from the nearby supermarket to have out on the balcony every morning. The room was fairly big and contained a mini bar (only containing bottles of water) and coffee/tea making facilities. The hotel itself was clean and the staff were always friendly and helpful. There’s no parking, however we parked in the port across the road for €6 per day. We came later in the day so we managed to find a spot, it gets quite packed early morning. The hotel restaurant does great food, I would recommend the Sardinian ravioli with potatoes and cheese!

The hotel is very clean and the staff at the reception is very welcoming and helpful! Breakfast is average. Parking is 15 euros per day but you can find free parking on the street nearby.
The hotel is about 1.3km away from the port and there is a shuttle bus taking you there every hour from 9:30am to 7pm. It is walkable, but you have to climb up the hill when you walk back.
Our room is facing the main road and some motorbikes were very noisy.
It’s also interesting that they charge (around 2 euros) for refilling your water bottle, claiming this is to help the environment while you can buy a bottle of water less than 1 euro in a shop. We stayed in a different hotel and they have similar policies. I feel this is making money in the name of environmental protection. If it’s really for environment protection, I would suggest to offer free refilling.

VillanoVery basic, affordable and good place for a rest.
Bit far from the city center.
Staff super friendly, honorable mention to the girl that runs in the bar, I was late for breakfast and she was kind enough to provide coffee and pastry.
Also the gentleman at the lobby very kind and quite easy to check in.

Very attentive, well mannered and very professional staff, it was such a pleasure to stay here. Very relaxing and we enjoyed the Bistro restaurant a lot. Great staff again and really enjoyed the food. Rooms were very comfortable and clean, with everything you need!
Can't fault anything about this place apart from the mosquitoes... not their fault obviously but just to let other patrons know to use bugs repellent and cover up at night. We stayed in other places in Sardinia and it's the same so not just here. We will definitely come back.

Reda Drissi el bouzaidiWe enjoyed our stay in Sardegna. The hostess was very welcoming, kind, and always positive, making us feel at home. The breakfast was good, and the location is excellent—about a 10-minute walk from both the coast and the historic center. The only downsides were that the sink and shower drains were clogged throughout our stay, and towel changes cost €4 per person. Overall, we had a pleasant stay and appreciated the warm hospitality.
