Pros:

This resort is in a small town, and when we went, it appears the travel season for this town was over. It was VERY quiet and you kind of felt awkward as there were so few people around, which is to bad as the facility was really nice. A few things were a bit dissappointing, such as the size of the pool and that the beach was a bit of a walk once you got on the pier. The hotel only had breakfast buffet option ( which was fantastic ). The restaurants nearby did not have great options except for the one we found ( E&O) which was incredible dining.The staff was willing to bend over backwards to help you and were wonderful. There is a marina directly behind the resort and then you have to walk about a half kilometer to get to the beach, which is VERY large. Overall a very nice little quaint resort and if you are looking for something quiet and not busy then this is perfect for you.

Pros:

Das Hotel ist in Ordnung. Service sehr freundlich. Der Pool ist sehr klein. Leider gibts es nicht viel was man in der Umgebung machen kann. Ohne Mietwagen kommt man nur sehr schwer von A nach B weil die öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel sehr beschränkt sind. Der Strand war leider sehr schmutzig.

Superior sicilian hospitality
Pros:

Superior sicilian hospitality. Wonderful breakfast with vast variety of types of food and pastries combined with magnificent, panoramic views from the breakfast terrace. The owners were extremely friendly and service minded, and did their utmost to accommodate our needs. A highly memorable experience that we strongly recommend.

Feel like family in a unique piece of Sicily
Pros:

I you are looking to get out of the hustle and bustle of Palermo for a little getaway to a beautiful seaside town, then this is the place for you. The grounds are absolutely stunning with a sunset you have to see to believe. The amenities are top notch. And it is a family-run establishment, which will make you feel immediately at home. This extends even out into the town, as you will receive the local treatment anywhere that you are referred. I cannot recommend this place enough!

Overrated Hotel
Pros:

Das einzige was ok war, der Service und der Preis. Für die Bewertung fanden wir die Unterkunft weit überbewertet. Es gab kein offenes Restaurant, gebuchtes Zimmer mit Meerblick gab es nicht, die Zimmer sind sehr altbacken und abgelebt mit wenig Steckdosen und kein internationales TV, Frühstück minimalistisch und die Eingangshalle war auch nicht sehr einladend. 2 Kollegen konnten nicht gut schlafen wegen Gäste/Personal sehr laut.

Extremely unprofessional
Pros:

They have just canceled my booking for next month because they have decided to close early for the season. They have left me scrambling to find another place with the same bed availability and close to the ocean. I have been on the phone for 2 hours today trying to sort this out with hotels.com. The worst part is, had I not contacted them, who knows when they would have told me that they were canceling my booking! Extremely unprofessional.

Pros:

Non si può proporre un 4 stelle con la ferroviaria che gli passa accanto in un contesto portuale fatiscente e decadente. La divisione in più edifici non presidiati e la scarsa attenzione del personale non aiutano certo a superare lo shock della location inaspettata
