Guest reviews
Basic but comfortable, spotlessly clean, very friendly staff, lovely pool area and short and safe 10 minute walk through to a lovely unspoilt beach! Super convenient for the airport.

The entrance of the main road is quite difficult coming in and out and the area around the secure location seemed a little strange.
We really enjoyed our stay here! The staff were very friendly, kind, and always happy to help. The hotel has its own direct access to the beach, with beautiful views of Mount Etna. The grounds are quite large and full of different plants and trees, which makes the whole place feel very pleasant and relaxing. There is also a bar and a restaurant on site, with pretty reasonable prices. The breakfast was great, with plenty of options and a good buffet selection. Our room had everything we needed: a minibar, kettle, tea, water, air conditioning, and daily housekeeping. There was also a small shop nearby, which was very convenient. Overall, we really liked the hotel and had a great stay!

Excellent breakfast. While the pizza at the restaurant was a bit less good and arrived raw underneath for me and my wife, and in my opinion, it seemed like a frozen base.

The pool ladder needs to be fixed because the first step was broken, and I was about to fall with the child.
Lovely walk through the property to a quiet beach on a forested coastline, surrounded by citrus trees, great views of Mt Etna, great breakfast with fresh ingredients, close to the airport, staff are very friendly and helpful, large rooms, pool and beach are great.
