“Lovely place to relax”

The hotel grounds are beautiful and they have two great sized pools and plenty of places to sit. We opted not to hire a car and booked an excursion through the hotel to visit Sciacca and this was only 30 euros for two people. It was a lovely trip out and just the right amount of time. They also offer other trips and experiences varying prices and days. There isn’t anything in walking distance of the hotel but that didn’t bother us as we enjoyed relaxing. They offer a shuttle to the beach every 20 minutes, the walk to the beach is a board walk which takes about 10 mins. It wouldn’t be accessible for people with disabilities but is fine if you’re prepared to walk. We wore trainers which was a lot better than sandals. There is no bar at the beach so make sure to take drinks. It’s a lovely beach with free loungers and you can use paddle boards/paddle boats. The two pools are both a good size, the “kids” pool has jacuzzi settings and feels like a hot tub and the larger pool is in a relaxing setting and large enough you can swim or relax. Our room was fine, it isn’t massive but has what you need and the cleaners changed the towels every day. We found the all inclusive food to be fine, what you expect with a lot of variation for different tastes. I would say the only downside would be for soft drinks you only get them in a tiny cup so it seems like two sips and it’s gone. We didn’t really take part in any activities but there is plenty on offer and the reps and staff are all friendly and always say hello. We had a lovely week and would return if we were looking for a great location to chill out in.

“2nd time and even better”

This was our 2nd time as a family with a 5-yr old kid. We love the quality of the restaurants at every meal.

This was our 2nd time as a family with a 5-yr old kid. We love the quality of the restaurants at every meal. The Team running the hotel from the Director to the reception, the animation and the service is incredible. They are like a family. It’s a real Sicilian style hotel in the middle of olive trees. The 2 different pools are a nice +. The beach is quiet in the morning to swim. Awesome in the afternoon for a nap in the wind. We met nice Italian families too this year and the kids had a blast. They didn’t want to leave the kids club!! Which is what we need as parents!

“Great place, little hidden gem”

Visited for a 4 day trip with my sisters. 3 adults in total. We found all the staff so friendly and helpful, really made us feel very welcome. We made use of the free shuttle to and from the beach. Room and all facilities very clean and tidy & well maintained.

“Hidden Flaws, Extra Fees, and a Misleading Beach”

I really wanted to love this stay, but unfortunately, our week-long experience was plagued by poor maintenance, hidden inconveniences, and overall neglect. The good: · The hotel territory was beautiful and well maintained—lush, clean, and pleasant to walk around. · Staff was friendly. Room issues: · The moment we walked in, there was a noticeable, unpleasant odor that never aired out. · The bathroom faucet was covered in thick calcium deposits (clearly not cleaned regularly), and the ceiling had visible mold spots—a major hygiene red flag. · The towel hanger was literally falling off the wall. · The bed and pillows were extremely hard, making it tough to get a good night's sleep for the entire week. Food & drinks: · The food was okay—edible but very limited in selection, both for meals and drinks. Amenities & policies: · We were given one beach towel per person for the whole week, with the only option to swap it for €5 per towel—unreasonable for a 7-night stay. · There was no drying rack in the room or anywhere else to hang wet towels or swimwear. Beach experience (major letdown): · The beach is not easily reachable on foot—you first need to take a transfer, then walk along a poorly maintained wooden path that was broken and unsafe in places. · The beach is located in a natural reserve, which sounds nice, but that means no bathroom facilities, no bar, nothing. This was not clearly disclosed when booking, and we felt misled. Would I return? Absolutely not. Major improvements and full transparency are urgently needed.
