Good Sea front Hotel
The hotel is sourrunded by a natural reserve. The settings are stunning. The hotel communal areas are beautiful and well cared for. The rooms are somewhat dated but still very good. choose a seaview room if you can. Staff was very friendly. Huge swimming pool. Access to the sea via a gangway, just hidillic. Lot's of fun!

Staff went out of there way for our late arrival, even told the kitchen to stay open so we could dine in the outside restaurant. Property is well maintained, clean and updated. Great place for the price and only 45 minutes to Mt Etna. Wish we could have stayed longer. Only negative was mattress was very hard, I like a firm mattress but not solid.

We stayed here for two days and had a wonderful time. The views were incredible..the photos online do not do it justice! All personnel were kind and very accommodating. Room was clean and just the right size. Will definitely be booking again the next time we’re in Sicily.

Disappointing, outdated. Not 4 star.
Disappointing, infested with little bugs flying in the room. Bathroom much to be desired, old and barely any water pressure from the showerhead. We were given a room in the old part of the building in spite of having several rooms available in the renovated wing. Service is certainly not with a smile.

Amazing location with great swimming pool. Very good breakfast including brioche with granita. Very good room with nice balcony. The only small negative point was a bit thin walls as you can hear the people from the room above is you.

The situation of the hotel was excellent. The overall look of the lobby was beautiful. The pool was very clean and the pool attendants were helpful and friendly. Claudio the bellboy was really attentive and courteous. One of the reception staff was rude when challenged about the condition of the rooms. The electrician was incredibly rude. The bathroom in the room we booked had black mould in the bath and we were told that it was the silica. The room also smelled musty. The alarm cord was filthy. We asked the bathroom to be cleaned...but it was not done to the standard we expect of a 4 star hotel. We saw 4 other rooms...one had a bathroom in the same state and two others had no working aircon. When we informed front desk, he told us that he is the one who works in the hotel therefore he is the one who knows and asked us "whether we were the master of the hotel ? We eventually picked up the last available room with a clean bathroom but the paint was peeling of the ceiling. we were told it would be sorted but it was not done.

The hotel was very nice, clean and friendly. The opportunity to swim in the sea, via steps also nice. Take a snorkel for a great experience. So in summary a beautiful place to relax. The area is a bit quiet, but a maybe 5 restaurants in 20 minute walking radius.

The hotel has an impressive location with a wonderful outside pool area and access to the sea via stairs falling directly into the sea (overseen by lifeguard). Rooms are a bit tired but perfectly functional considering the time you would spend in them (mini fridge and safe). Free parking and excellent free wifi. The outdoor pool and multiple sun deck areas flows into the multiple restaurants/bars making the most of the sea view. Easy walk into town if you want to try the local restaurants specialising in fresh fish. Reception were happy to let me continue to ise services post checkout and offered to extend my checkout time.

Nice hotel with excellent staff but the Manageress was extremely rude and hostile! The room they originally allocated us was ridiculously small so we upgraded to a suite.......at double the price. She begrudged giving us a small discount due to inconvenience - her attitude was most unfortunate and unprofessional.
