Io adoro questo posto ma ci sono tante cose da sistemare basterebbe fermarsi e guardare cosa non funziona
Pros:

Posto è meraviglioso la struttura piano piano la stanno ristrutturando la sala da pranzo non è funzionale quando devi prendere i primi e i secondi c’è sempre un casino e per il resto è molto dispersiva vassoi appoggiati tutti in giro .

Cons:

La spiaggia sarebbe ora di cambiare sdraie ombrelloni e poi rifare i bagni perché sono piccoli fatti male è un po di controllo in più nella pulizia non gusta

Pros:

Struttura molto bella grande camera spaziose e pulite possibilità di usufruire delle piscine e della spiaggia, colazione abbondante e molto buona abbiamo avuto anche l’opportunità di provare una cena a buffet e siamo rimasti piacevolmente sorpresi

Cons:

In bagno non c’era neanche un vanity set solo un bagnoschiuma attaccato al muro e il sapone per le mani e soprattutto il phon al muro… da rivedere anche l’insonorizzazione… dalla nostra stanza sentivamo tutto

Cons:

Das Zimmer wahr eine Katastrophe es wahren sachen kaputt wie die braust von der Duche die fenêtres tur die nicht auf ging die Jalousie von der fenêtres der nicht runter ging und noch sachen wie Terrazza ohne Tich und Aschenbecher.
Der Preis für das Hotel den wir bezahlt haben war nicht ansprechend wahr zuteuet fur das Zimmer den wir hatten .

Pros:

Colazione e pasti di pranzo e cena completi, molto vari e ricchi adatti a tutte le esigenze, gusti e necessità degli ospiti. Ad esempio, avevamo espresso al maître della sala ristorante il desiderio di avere, se fosse stato possibile, il pane integrale, siamo stati accontentati subito dal pasto successivo.

Cons:

C'è un un'ala dell'hotel che ha le camere dal lato delle cucine con i soffioni di scarico accanto alle porte finestra; impossibile aprire i vetri, fumi e odori invadono la camera dal mattino fino a sera. Ho chiesto il cambio camera per fortuna c'era disponibilità e sono stata accontentata.

Pros:

The location is perfect.

Cons:

Overall, we enjoyed our time, but we wanted to share a few constructive suggestions for improvement:
Sustainability: We were disappointed by the hotel's approach to recycling and the heavy use of single-use plastic cups. Transitioning to eco-friendly options would be a great step forward.
Breakfast: Adding a wider variety of hot dishes would greatly enhance the morning selection.
Room Comfort: It would be much more comfortable if the rooms included extra seating, such as an armchair.
We hope this feedback helps improve future guest experiences.

Molto Buono
Pros:

La posizione e il mare

Cons:

Sotto alcuni aspetti la struttura e trasandata, come le piscine ( il fondo si stacca a pezzi ), la qualità di alcuni cibi da migliorare ( ad esempio il prosciutto maleodorante)

Toller Urlaub gutes Essen wunderschöner Sandstrand
Pros:

Tolle Lage 15 Minuten vom Flughafen Palermo entfernt. Viele gute Restaurants in der Nähe.
Das Hotel selber hat alles was man für einen schönen Urlaub braucht diverse Pools / Strand mit Musik und Animation sehr sauber alles.

Cons:

Das hin und her bei unserer Buchung da wir beim Antritt der Reise nur noch ein Doppelzimmer und kein Drei-Bett-Zimmer mehr brauchten haben wir sowie Booking.com als auch die Unterkunft direkt kontaktiert, zum Schluss hatten wir sogar ein Vier-Bett-Zimmer. Da das Hotel ziemlich ausgebucht war, hätte das Zimmer bestimmt weitergegeben werden können. vor allem da in Italien die Schulkinder immer noch in bis Mitte September in den Ferien weilen.
