The room needed a renovation. The room was on two levels, bed upstairs and bathroom downstairs. The seating area in the room was not very comfortable and the furniture was well worn. The staff were nice. Definitely felt like a family hotel from another era.

Pas un Resort, Un Motel..
Un hôtel plus que surprenant.. pensé à l’économie pour la rentabilité du proprio mais pas pour le confort client ! Le plus absurde, la piscine - la plus froide que nous ayons eu durant tout le séjour en Sicile.. et le plus ridicule : l’hôtel impose de porter un bonnet ! Bien sûr on ne vous prévient pas mais on vend les bonnets a la piscine. Pas une piscine de resort sympa mais une piscine entourée d’une bande de touristes ridicule avec leurs bonnets... ah et bien que l’hotel soit énorme, il n’est doté que de 5 ou 6 parasols. Pour le Spa.. Payant !.. meme approche.. bonnets ridicule et piscine froide.. douche froide.. sauna ok, Hammam en panne. Autre experience, le petit déjeuner. Quand les croissants ne sont pas brûlés et sec, ils sont bons. Néanmoins pour le café, armez vous de patience.. là encore Une Seule machine à disposition. Qui fait les café un par un. D’une lenteur record. Lorsqu’elle n’est pas en panne.. pour le buffet, prévoyez un peu d’attente également, une seule personne au service. Ça ne manque pas de personnel, cela manque d’organisation. Autre économie, dans la chambre.. produit d’accueil bas de gamme et serviette tellement fine qu’on aurait dit des nappes. Dernier point douteux.. l’art choisi dans l’hôtel, ne venez pas si vous êtes déprimés :) Mais ça peut valoir le détour. Le personnel est bien ! Allez-y si vous rayonnez autour, c’est un bon point de chute pas trop cher - mais ne vous attendez pas une expérience resort sympa.

Amazing resort
Loved this resort. Very clean and so good service by all the staff in reception, kitchen and cleaning etc. Kitchen staff make a lot of effort for milk and gluten allergies with great options. Outdoor swimmingpool area is really nice too. Indoor pools (SPA) is not included in the price, its an 15 euro extra for one hour. Need to take a taxi to get there since there is no public bus nearby. Really recommended this resort even if you dont play golf and just wanna come and relax.

Relaxing facility, position is great, quite, in the nature, nice pool, friendly and helpful staff, a good place far away from confusion of cities, only one issue, spa is not included, have to be paid extra, for such a place its a must to be included, food average may be better for Sicily standards
