Grand Hotel in Porto Cervo

I stayed here for a week-​long yoga holiday in July and had a wonderful stay.
Some of the highlights:
— Beautiful location, on a hill overlooking the sea
— Walking distance to local beach with white sand and blue water
— HUGE freshwater pool with plenty of chairs in the sun and shade for lounging
— Breakfast included, complete with delicious and fresh Italian buffet: prosciutto, fresh ricotta, cut fruits, eggs, coffee, tea, juice
— Got upgraded to a junior suite with a private garden– sweet!
Why 3 stars:
— The overall service level was fair at best: I asked at the front desk about grocery stores within walking distance and was told there were none, I’d have to take a 40 EUR taxi or the twice-​a-​day shuttle into town the next day. I later learned that this was not true :/​
— The restaurant (Orange) was pretty expensive price/​quality-​wise
— The wifi was terrible, totally unreliable and unpredictable. Just go off the grid and enjoy.
Other friendly tips:
— Bring lots of sunscreen and books to read
— It’s about a 15 – 20 min walk to the marina in town where there are *a few* other restaurant options and grocery store, pharmacy, etc
— Rent a car if you really want to explore or just chill out and enjoy the sun and some time off
— The lounge chairs on the beach are 30 EUR for a pair! Bring your own or be prepared to get sandy
