Highlights from Becky’s Family Holiday at Is Serenas Badesi Resort

Becky from Just Sardinia and her family had a memorable summer holiday at Is Serenas Badesi Resort - here are some of their top highlights:

Beautiful Sunsets & Beach Vibes:

The short stroll to the beach via a boardwalk was ideal for families with young children and pushchairs. The beach itself was peaceful, with breathtaking sunsets best enjoyed from the beach bar, a perfect spot to unwind in the evenings.

Aperol Spritz on Tap:

Becky & her fiancé noted this delightful detail that added a little extra sparkle to their evenings.

Top-Notch Entertainment:

The evening entertainment was a real standout, with something for every age group - from nightly baby discos to full-scale musical shows like ‘We Will Rock You’ complete with popcorn & candyfloss for that festival feel.

Outstanding Kids Clubs & Activities:

The kids’ clubs running from 9am to 11pm were a huge hit, along with a fantastic waterpark, themed kids’ dinners and a large pool with a mini slide, shallow areas and daily aqua aerobics - all designed with families in mind, and sunbeds close enough for parents to relax nearby.

Dining Tips & Treats:

Buffets offered a wide selection including seafood, though Becky recommends going early for the best choice! Pizza weren’t the strongest, but themed dinners gave a taste of Sardinia and added variety. Booking the beach restaurant early is essential!

Relaxation for Adults:

The spa was great value - a massage and spa entry for just €60, and manicures from €25 ideal for mums to take a little time out.

Friendly Competitions:

Family fun continued with casual games around the resort – Becky’s fiancé was crowned table tennis champion during their stay!

Easy Access to Local Life:

A free shuttle made it simple to visit nearby Badesi town and beach, perfect for picking up souvenirs or exploring a bit beyond the resort.

Personalised Extras:

The resort staff impressed with helpful service, from organising excursions to birthday cakes making it a fantastic choice for celebrations or extra-special family moments.
