Loved this place. Staff was the nicest staff I’ve ever had at a hotel and the place was super cute and unique. Had a very tropical vibe to it and I would definitely stay here again if I visit the area again. Only issue is no elevator but the staff was happy to carry our bags up to our rooms and back down when we checked out so it wasn’t a big deal. Wonderful place to stay!

Pleasant staff, delicious food. Parking available, beach is very close. Beach is well looked after. The only downside was the cleaning on the day we did not have coffee pods and hair conditioner replenished. But overall stunning hotel.

Overall I would rate this property a 3 stars, the beach and the breakfast was lovely but all the hidden fees were what brought this down for me. Nowhere on Expedia does it say you have to pay for the cabanas on the beach, or for extra towels, everything in the mini bar (although this one is hit or miss, a lot of the 4 star places I stay in usually have the first round free and then anything extra is added one). Our first day at the beach the lifeguard actually said to not worry about the fee and pay for it next time, turns out he added it to the bill anyways which we had to pay at the end of the stay. The hotel itself is outdated and in need of a refresh.
Overall majority of the staff were nice, one or two were rude but we brushed that off due to the language barrier.
During my time in Sardinia I also stayed in another 4 star hotel and felt so welcomed there and it also had top tier facilities, which may also contribute to me giving this a 3 star…

By far the best breakfast we ever had in any hotel/resort ever. The beach is stunning and pristine water. The staff is friendly, welcoming and very helpful in any ways. Our room had two bedrooms and two bathrooms, what was amazing having two little kids. We got this balcony with view to the pool and beach and we could actually enjoy the singer/performer show from there while our kids were already sleeping.
Even the toiletries were amazing, what I usually don’t care since I take my own with me.
I will be back for sure and I highly recommend this hotel.

We had an excellent 6 night stay at this great seafront hotel.
All hotel staff were friendly and helpful, with special mention for the restaurant staff who were most welcoming and attentive throughout our stay.
Our room was kept spotlessly clean throughout our stay and had good air conditioning with a comfortable (firm) bed.
The beach is tranquil with white sand and crystal clear waters. Hotel has its own private section with sun beds included at no extra charge if you are on half board.
A full range of choices at buffet breakfast with attentive staff providing fresh coffee/tea. Evening meals were a delight, especially if you enjoy seafood, with new options included each day. The friendly waiting staff were attentive without being intrusive and can say we thoroughly enjoyed every meal.
Hotel is in a quiet location and is the ideal place for a relaxing break by the sea. Town centre is walkable in 12-15 minutes and has a good selection of bars and restaurants.
Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and look forward to returning for another stay in the future.

I have seen on social media and reviews of this hotel that state that the staff were miserable and that none of them spoke English and tended to be very standoffish. What I found here was that the staff were exceptional and very eager to please all of the staff spoke English and understood everything. They were very helpful with information on the area and places to eat. The restaurant here was exceptional and very high-quality. The beach area attached to this hotel was also very friendly and the beach was very clean and the water was crystal clear . The hotel itself was clean and was decorated with a mixture of African and Thai furniture. The service here was impeccable and representative of service of the olden days where customer is King and all that you needed was carried out immediately. Please note that this area of Sardinia is quieter than the north they’re all no ancient villages to wander around, but it’s perfect for a quiet relaxing holiday. I would recommend it to anyone..

Too expensive for what it offers
Too expensive for what it offers. There is nothing special to charge such a high rate. The location is good, but the beach service such as the umbrella and chair are not included in such high rate, and it is not clearly stated anywhere. Breakfast is included, but you need to pay extra for a fresh orange juice when you are paying a rate of more than U$300/night. Not reasonable.
The highlight is the service at the hotel bar, and the overall cleanliness of the hotel.
The service at the front desk not the best, specially when the guy is the one talking to you. I forgot the name.
The location is good, but you absolutely need a car since it is isolated from everything.

A little bit of paradise
We spent 4 days half board at the hotel Simius playa in mid September. We enjoyed our stay in particular the fabulous beach with turquoises water and great evening meals, with lots of choice. We had a superior double room with a sea view and small terrace which was a good size and very clean, water pressure in shower was great. The staff at the hotel were lovely, in particular the maitre d, Thomas and the tall waiter (apologies forgot his name)
Cons
It’s a quiet area with not much activity going on apart from shops and restaurants up in the town.
We got a local bus from Cagliari arst bus station, right beside the train station to villasimius and this was fairly straightforward however the return journey was not as there was an unexpected bus strike, waiting 2 hours discover no bus for another 4 hours. Taxi was required. Cost of taxis is extortionate. Recommendation rent a car. The views along the coast road are spectacular.

Superschönes Hotel mit defektem Badventilator
Wunderschönes Hotel an traumhafter Lage mit exquisiter Küche.
Sehr nettes Personal.
Leider hat der Ventilator im Badezimmer nicht funktioniert und wir wurden trotz mehrmaligen Hinweisen nicht ernst genommen und es wurde auch nichts repariert.
