Pros:

Lage zu den Tempeln ist unschlagbar. Gleich vom Hotel geht es privat durch den Zaun. Zum Ort braucht es 20 Minuten leicht anstrengend zu Fuß am Straßenrand. Also besser mit dem Auto fahren.

Gute Wahl für einen Besuch der Valle dei Templi, aber relativ teuer.
Pros:

Lage mit Blick auf die Tempel ist großartig. Angenehme, gut ausgestattete Zimmer.

Cons:

Sehr teures Restaurant, in dem das Essen nicht dem Anspruch gerecht wurde.
Das Personal war nicht übermäßig freundlich. Wir hatten ein Problem mit im Hotel gekauften Eintrittskarten für die Valle dei Templi und wurden regelrecht abgekanzelt, dass das gar nicht möglich sei. Kein 5 Sterne Standard!

Unique, luxurious stay
Pros:

The location is absolutely out of this world. Most of the staff are exceptional and very professional.

Cons:

One of the receptionists that showed us to our room was not very friendly. She didn’t tell us anything about the facilities and came across a bit displeased with us, but I understand she may have had difficulty speaking English. However the man behind reception was very professional and very welcoming on our arrival into the hotel.

Unforgettable location but not quite the complete experience.
Pros:

Awesome location with direct access to the Valley of the Temples. Lovely room, gardens, pool and gym. Staff tried hard but not really premium quality. Food, dinner and breakfast , were ridiculously priced as were the drinks.
Would recommend a one night stay to visit the Temples then move on!

Cons:

Service in the restaurant and at reception was poor, main meal, pork, served cold, waitress said a 15 minute wait for heating or replacement, not happy and no apologies for an expensive experience thoroughly ruined.

Best hotel ever in 40 countries
Pros:

Wow, just wow. This is one of the loveliest hotels we have stayed it anywhere in the world. Top notch service. Fabulous location inside the archeological park so you have exclusive access to the park. Lovely spa with top notch massages available. Picture perfect grounds. Lovely breakfast and great food overall. Their sun dried tomato grouper was some of the best fish I have ever had. Highly recommend.

Wonderful stay
Pros:

This was a delightful hotel and an enjoyable stay for a trip to Agrigento. The front desk staff were welcoming and attentive, ensuring every request was met. The panorama of the temples and the hotel grounds was ideal for a walk (including exploration of the kitchen garden featuring artichokes and herb hedges).

The highlight was our visit to the spa, which came with the Total Wellness package we selected. We were greeted by Melania and Chiara, who presented the private spa and clarified the intriguingly named 'emotional' shower—which alternates hot and cold—the pool, and the Turkish bath. They also provided an outstanding relaxation massage, which completed the spa experience. We highly recommend this!

It was an exceptional stay, and I recommend this hotel to anyone seeking a relaxing, well-appointed base from which to explore the sights and culture of Agrigento.

5-star experience just outside an historic site
Pros:

Just outside the archeological park, the hotel has the feeling of a 5 star, with a quality restaurant

Cons:

You can see the temples but you still have to to buy a ticket to the park and visit during the park’s opening hours

Pros:

The view of the temples from our room's window and patio was fabulous as was the patio. Definitely recommend a room with both (view and patio). Bathroom and shower were also fabulous as was the property's foyer, dining area and lounge.

Cons:

We wanted a room with 2 beds - we were two female friends traveling together. What we got was one queen sized bed and a very narrow cot-bed which made the room feel small since it was obviously an add-on and which was not terribly comfortable. Two normal sized twin bed would have been much better - the room was too small for two double beds. We were also unhappy that the breakfast that went with our room was just carbs and sweets, no protein, or fruit. The staff were wonderful though and the setting beautiful. Having a smaller snack or lunch menu would have also made the stay easier.
