We just returned from a short stay at the Is Morus. It's still early in the season and the hotel was not full. The weather was unseasonably cold and wet, which of course is not the hotel's fault.

We loved the grounds, the views, the pool (even if we didn't use it due to the weather). The room was spartan but very clean and quite large. I liked the hard bed, but my wife wished for something softer. The staff was friendly and spoke good English all around. We found some interesting side trips in Cagliardi and the mountains nearby. It's a nice place.

Here are my complaints:

First, the restaurant was disappointing. Breakfast and dinner were included in our fees (and I think it's the same for everyone). Unlike some commentators, I thought the breakfast was very good, though not much different from what you might find in a US hotel. Dinner wasn't so good. Only two choices of appetizer, entree, dessert every night (unless, of course, you want to pay extra), and not very memorable. We decided to leave the resort for most of our dinners and all of our lunches after the first one.

Second, we had a neighbor problem that the hotel's facilities made worse. At 10pm, after we had gone to sleep, a family with small kids arrived next door. All their sounds penetrated the walls (and I think the door to the hallway). It was unbelievable, how loudly sounds traveled between rooms. There is, after all, no carpet or rugs or any other noise-killing material here, and the tiles and stucco walls bounce noise around like a big echo chamber. The kids were screaming and stamping around in their sandals on the tiles, the parents invited friends into the room for a noisy dinner and drinking party. I understand the need for patience when a young family arrives late and needs some time to settle in. But this family was not settling in. By 10:30, I visited the front desk to ask for some help. They asked me for continued patience. Call us at 11, they said, if it doesn't quiet down. After 11, the kids stopped screaming, and the party died down enough to make it hard to complain. But we were woken up many more times by short bouts of laughter until long past midnight.

The next night was just as noisy until precisely 11, when our neighbors quieted down (perhaps having been requested to do so by the hotel earlier in the day). My question is: where in the world is it OK to make this kind of noise in a hotel until so late? I make my own children quiet down by 9pm in hotels.

Unless the Is Morus does something to dampen noise between rooms, I don't think I would want to return. If you rent a separate villa, of course, this isn't a problem.

my review is brief:
very friendly staff,
enjoyed the dinners - some courses were excellent, others average
the wine served was good for the price
the room was great, the beach was superb and the water clean
shame the weather was not the best
overall - for the price it was really a very good 5 day visit!

Stayed in this hotel in July. Is Morus relais has potential but seems to be poorly managed: dirty beaches & no beach service, dirty gardens, no pool & room servise, deadly silence everywhere. It is definately 2-3 stars, no way 5 stars.

I stayed 6 days late May at Is Morus. The hotel is situated in a large park, lots of trees and a very nice view on the sea. Right above the beach, well two of them actually. Sandy. From there the view extends only to natural environment, no other visible construction despite the presence of a big complex a few miles down the road. That is so far to me the main asset of this hotel: the quiet and natural environment.

The service is on the other hand really average. I think the staff was either compose of new members in the hotel business or it was still rusty from the winter. A lot of confusion it seems in the restaurant and the kitchen! And I must say, not very polite or cheerful people too, barely responding to salute or questioning.

Speaking of the kitchen, it was really average. Not bad, but for Italy very much average apart from a few dishes.

I didn’t stay in the main building but in one of the small cottages. No extra charge. I guess they put me there because I insisted in the reservation for a quiet room. But as far as I experienced, the whole place is rather quiet. My room was very clean, nicely decorated with local Sicilian fabrics and everything working properly.

As for recreation, I found the 2 beaches very nice, clean and wide enough to get a quiet place in the sun. The swimming pool is large, with 3 small areas for kids. The staff there is very nice and helpful.

On the whole, Is Morus was a nice experience and relaxing place but they really ought to do something about the food and service.

“Fabulous hotel; shame about the restaurant”

Is Morus Relais

12 Jun 2006
3/3 found this review helpful

The Is Morus is a wonderful hotel in so many ways. A beautiful location and uncrowded facilities (much, much nicer than the other hotel "villages" sprawled down the coast). Fabulous staff - helpful, courteous and professional. Our junior suite was spotless - although there was a fair amount of noise leakage through the walls - and comfortable. A wonderful swimming pool and little private beach coves create a very relaxing feel. BUT, the restaurant really lets the hotel down. Slow and generally inept service of food which is mostly just adequate - and not much Sardo influence. Not helped by being mostly lukewarm out of the kitchen. This wouldn't matter so much, except that this is an expensive hotel in high season, and has a half board only policy. Alternative eating isn't so easy - Cagliari is nearly an hour away, and the nearest town, Pula, has limited places worth trying. If food is as important to you as the accomodation, you might want to check with the hotel if they have made changes in the restaurant!
