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.

We stayed for 3 nights in this hotel. We choose this hotel because it writes it has a spa. But surprisingly when we arrived the spa was closed for 3 months renovations. We don’t got any information about the spa. For us 150€/night is not worth it at all for an hotel without spa. The staff not helpful at all.

Mediocre stay not in line with promo photos

Hotel is pleasant and you can understand the beauty in the main lobby. Rooms are a bit worn out (some rust in bathroom...) but stimm nice design. End of May is low season so also breakfast was probably adjusted... very limited choice of food and absolutely not on level of 4star hotel. Spa is there but not included for hotel guests, priced at 40€/hour/person which seems unreasonably high.

This hotel is amazing - the excellent greeting & check in was superior. The hotel was hosting a Disney Weekend & the atmosphere was electric. Mickie & Minnie Mouse were fun & spoke to our Grand Daughter. Rosa, who manages the hotel spoke excellent English - very polite & really happy in her role. Attention to detail was covered in every area of the hotel - chandeliers - exquisite furniture - cleanliness in every area made it all perfect. Bedroom was cleaned daily - fresh crisp sheets - bathroom accessories- coffee supplied daily. Staff were friendly - smiling at their work. Walking distance to nearby shops & restaurants- Pumpkin Pizza is fab. I would fully recommend this hotel - it is a home from home experience & I know for sure we will be back. This Hotel has ticked all the boxes & more - I visited the SPA situated across the way & chilled in the beautiful surroundings - Thank you Rosea for a fantastic treatment. If you want to stay somewhere Central along the coast of Sicily this hotel is highly recommended.

Completely honest review

Bed bugs, we were bitten all night. Thankfully it was only the one night. Very old fashioned, in serious need of modernisation. Shower head disgustingly unclean and water pressure is very low. Towels had holes in them. Jet bath, shoots out the water all over the bathroom so you can’t use it. Lift access to beach does not take you to the beach, it takes you to the harbour. Extremely overpriced. Spa is not included in stay, you have to pay extra to use it. When in Sicily, most of the day is spent exploring so you look forward to a nice shower and a good nights sleep. You won’t get this in Marina hotel. When we advised them in the morning of all the faults they said we didn’t have to pay the 4 euro city tax as compensation! We didn’t want money back just extremely disappointed in the hotel and the service provided. I strongly recommend you stay at the Azzurra Apartments one street up. They are very clean and modern, great showers and beds and very spacious.

Hotel was really nice, apart from our room was crazy hot at night. We travelled with our young daughter and every night was soaked in sweat. We kept asking them to turn on our air con, but would never lower the temperature for us to a comfortable level. Slightly disappointing! The breakfast was average, would expect slightly more for a 4 star.. over all was average..
