Paid for a room facing sea, got a room with an admittedly good side view. No hot water in the morning so had to skip the shower and shave. Corridors funnel noise in to the room due to tiles on the floor. School tours book this hotel but the staff try to segregate them. In summary it was OK but I would have booked elsewhere had I known in advance.

Second time staying here for one night pre early flight home, had the buffet dinner which we had earlier in the year also but this time although good had a much reduced choice, we had recommended the stay to friends also and told them of the wonderful buffet so was disappointed

If you want a quiet holiday, this is not for you! Lots of large groups of holiday makers, loud music at both sides of the site. No options for eating unless you opt for full board (only one bar snack available, toasted sandwich) and limited bar options (the bar near reception closes at 5pm). But staff are helpful and welcoming, and premises kept very clean.

This is a nice hotel, with very attentive staff, and big rooms. The beach is beautiful and the mountains in the backdrop are stunning. Outstanding sunsets. Close to airport and Palermo. Food is buffet and so hard to get excited about.

What a great hotel!! The staff is excellent and so helpful, from the staff at the reception desk to the servers at the buffet. It is a fun and friendly atmosphere of large and small groups. The decor is eclectic with a strong sense of design. I would recommend this hotel to anyone. Beautiful views of the Tyrrhenian Sea.

Food was not good
We stayed here for one night. It’s a very large resort hotel so we didn’t do much since we were passing though in between other destinations and plans. The pool was basic and the large one was closed for some reason when I tried to take my kids. I did not go to the beach which looked nice. The biggest bummer was their buffet dinner (30 euro per adult). It was not good at all. Food did not seem fresh and reminded me of cafeteria food. The rooms were clean and comfortable though. Very loud at night with music.

Everything was great, up until we needed a taxi to the train station. The desk lady just kind of pointed the right outside and said you can catch a taxi over there. But the night before, the other lady at the desk said it would be no problem to call you a taxi. So there you go. Then the taxi guy I got us to the train station gouged us around $40.00

Not a 4 star hotel
The room I was staying in was renovated and comfortable but its what I would expect from a 3 star. The common areas were run down and the restaurant isn't even open all day (I'm during the actual day not night). Staff were amazing though.

The prop was not well maintained. Inside it was clean but not welcoming. The gardens and exterior of the building was run down. Bars and dining was limited. Staff in the pizzeria was very friendly and the pizza was good. Unfortunately the atmosphere at the hotel was cold. Nice beach, don’t try to be there at sunset, you get locked out.

Does what it says on the tin!
It is what it says it is - a conference hotel. We stayed there one night because it is convenient (10 min drive) to Palermo airport but it was completely rammed with conference goers. The hotel reception and service staff simply could not cope with the volume. Bedroom was an odd layout and very plasticky but it was clean and the bed was comfortable. Located next to a nice looking beach but we felt this was more a transitory stop than a longer term destination. Couple of nice restaurants nearby.

The hotel is a bit older but we got the impression a renovation is started. The bathroom needs also some renovation as the shower made the whole bathroom wet. Breakfast was simpel but okay. In the evening there is life entertainment and as you can hear even your neighbours when they spoke loud, you certainly heared the music of this entertainment. But overall the service was super and we slept good!

The property is lovely, but the food is horrible, our room air condition didn't work well, and we notified the front desk, but nothing was done. Our room smelled like something died in the vents also complained and nothing was done. Great only for families, not couples. wasn't able to sleep due to all the kids running wild without supervision. I would not recommend to anyone.

Booked three nights stayed one- terrible hotel
Firstly the good - decent sized room for four Now the bad - absolutely everything else April is out of season so the area is dead… there’s no water in the pool, you can’t use the beach access. The hotel is a conference hotel and in no way family friendly. It was really noisy all evening and then we were woken by weights smashing around in the gym next door. I got up and went for a run asking the gentleman to ease up as my kids were trying to sleep, came back from a run and tried to use the gym which was locked with the same guy in. Asked at reception and the rude night guy said it doesn’t open until 8am… this was pretty funny as we both looked over and saw a bloke using it! Luckily the day guy took potty when I asked to reduce my stay to one night. My partner said she rates it the worst hotel she had ever stayed in… I mean I would go that far but I wouldn’t stay again. Went to Palermo and had a better experience
