This is a lovely hotel, just outside palmero. We had 100 plus room hotel to just 4 people! A first for me, once through the gates, quick check and straight out to the pool with fantastic views of the valley and hills around the hotel. Room was good, bed comfy, bathroom could do with a makeover, although shower was excellent. We eat dinner at the hotel, no menu, no prices but excellent local food, drinks old fashioned measures and great wine! Quiet relaxed night…… breakfast was continental, then lunch, again no real menu but local dishes cooked perfectly (hats off to the chef!). All in all a great relaxed staff at a quiet well run hotel

Beautiful large Arabesque 4 star fuol setvice spa resort about 20 minutes outside of Palermo. Very nicely designed, massive public areas, located in a very peaceful hilly setting, very large rooms, amazing pools and a waterfall feature. Only issue for me were the poorly maintained guestrooms, with low quality soft furnishings. My room had both shower knobs falling off after each use. A few other lack of easy required maintenence issues that really should be immediately addressed.

We had an amazing stay at Al Balhara Resort during our visit in July and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by the kindest staff. A special thank you to Luca and Federica at reception, who went above and beyond to help us. They made changing rooms effortless and even let us keep our room until it was time to leave for the airport, which meant so much to us. The resort is beautiful, with two fantastic pools and a magical waterfall. It was very peaceful during our stay, making it the perfect place to relax and unwind. Breakfast was good, but the lunch and dinner were outstanding! the chef is truly exceptional. We’d also like to thank the lovely Marta at the bar for always making us feel welcome. The hotel is about 20–30 minutes from Palermo by taxi. We highly recommend Giuseppe, who made every journey easy and enjoyable. Don’t miss a visit to Monreale either, it was one of the highlights of our trip, with stunning views, delicious food, and an authentic Italian atmosphere. What truly made our holiday unforgettable was the incredible staff. Their kindness and genuine hospitality made us feel at home. Thank you for such a memorable stay! We will definitely be back!

2/10 Terrible

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Where to start. The room was not as advertised on the website - relatively shabby. Only one pool in action, full of screaming children and with blaring music - not what I'dexpect from a wellness and relaxation spa. No one on hand to help with pool towels or sunbeds. Pool surround had several broken patio slabs. No poolside bar, no poolside snacks. The one bar had no menus, no obvious food - we were offered some cold pasta il forno - very stodgy. No drinks offered, had to ask what drinks they had - difficult when no one spoke English. Evening time there was a big party - we could get food but not until 9. We ordered a deliveroo. Could not get any drinks at the bar. At bedtime the music was blaring under our window. Breakfast - a croissant, not even offered a coffee. The fried egg was burnt. No transfers available to palermo - get an uber. No one to help take cases to the room. Barely anyone spoke English and no one tried to use Google translate. No offers off any excursions, overcharged for our airport taxi - €80. - when we returned today from our b and b in palermo it was €50. Overall, incredibly disappointing, i would not recommend to anyone - we checked out after one night and found a beautiful b and b on the edge of Palermo

Do Not Book

Do not book. This hotel does not align with the photos - it is very cheap materials and construction. My husband was locked in the bathroom for almost an hour, the elevator broke, and the front door to our room wouldn’t close. We stayed only one night of the 5 we booked and they told us that these issues with the space were our fault and refuse to refund our cancelled nights. Just don’t even book it

Room was nice big and comfortable. Balcony has no outdoor seating Pools are nice, new one is still unfinished, no service around the pool, have to chase staff for towels and drinks. No food between certain hours, bar is open but again nobody around to serve you. Language barrier is huge issue. Food was poor First night there was a wedding felt like the DJ was in bed with me, 2nd night there was a table reservation under our balcony, both nights was very loud. Window seals in restaurant are dusty with dead flies, parts of the garden is well maintained other parts are overgrown. Would be the worst hotel I’ve stayed at. Would not recommend, it’s approx only 5kms from the city centre but it’s hard to get to, windy, small roads lots of traffic.

Avoid.

The room was not as photographed and while perfectly ok, was nowhere near as good as was advertised. However, the air conditioning was terrible and totally incapable of cooling the room. We raised various concerns about it and it was clear that the hotel knew there was a problem, but did nothing about it. Also, we had to keep asking for basic things, like towels, which were removed by the cleaners and not replaced. There was no soap provided. No ironing board was available - basic things that a hotel would normally have. The whole place felt like there was something very wrong and I wouldn't be surprised to see the hotel fail in the near future. The cost of the room was massively overpriced overall and the air conditioning was a real issue, given how hot it was during our stay.

Unser Aufenthalt im Al Bahara Resort war von Anfang bis Ende ein echtes Highlight und hat unsere Erwartungen weit übertroffen. Schon beim Check-in wurden wir herzlich empfangen und hatten sofort das Gefühl, willkommen zu sein. Besonders erwähnen möchte ich Luka, der sich mit außergewöhnlichem Engagement um uns gekümmert hat. Als unser Gepäck zunächst nicht mit uns angekommen war, stand er uns jederzeit unterstützend zur Seite und sorgte mit seiner ruhigen und freundlichen Art dafür, dass wir uns trotz der Umstände keine Sorgen machen mussten. Ein weiteres Beispiel für den großartigen Service: Als meiner Freundin die Schlapfen kaputtgingen, kümmerte sich das Team sofort darum, diese zu reparieren – schnell, hilfsbereit und mit einem Lächeln. Solche kleinen Gesten machen den großen Unterschied und zeigen, mit wie viel Herz hier gearbeitet wird. Auch die Zimmer waren ein Traum: Jeden Tag wurden sie makellos gereinigt und mit viel Liebe dekoriert. Die kunstvollen Handtuchfiguren und kleinen Details haben uns täglich aufs Neue überrascht und begeistert. Man spürt einfach, dass hier viel Wert darauf gelegt wird, den Gästen nicht nur Komfort, sondern auch ein besonderes Gefühl von Geborgenheit zu schenken. Das kulinarische Angebot war ebenfalls hervorragend – abwechslungsreich, frisch und sehr hochwertig. Jeder Wunsch wurde gerne erfüllt, und auch im Restaurantbereich war das Personal aufmerksam, freundlich und zuvorkommend. Alles in allem ein Ort wo man gerne wieder hinkomm
