Staff outstanding, big thanks to the Management team and Giovanni Greco and all the wonderful staff,we really enjoyed our stay as we do every year. Cannot speak more highly of this hotel.
The hotel itself was great. Brand new with nice pool and walking distance to the beach. The service was great and the personel was very welcoming and helpful. The breakfast was also great. However, the neighborhood wasn't great. Lots of trash on the street even the seashore. In general, i dont recommend Catania in Sicily. We liked Syracuse muxh more. Better maintained and more activities.
Overall, we had a pleasant stay at the hotel. It is a nice property with some good facilities, although personally I wouldn’t rate it as a 4-star hotel.
The swimming pool was definitely one of the highlights. It was a good size, well maintained and there were plenty of sun loungers, so we never struggled to find somewhere to sit. The reception staff were also very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable whenever we had questions or needed assistance.
Unfortunately, the housekeeping was disappointing. Our room wasn’t cleaned on one of the days during our stay, which was frustrating. We also had ants in the room, and the bathroom wasn’t cleaned to the standard I would expect from a 4-star hotel. These issues made the room feel less comfortable and well maintained than it should have been.
There are certainly positives to the hotel, particularly the pool and the helpful reception staff, but the standard of housekeeping needs improvement. With better cleaning and more attention to detail, the hotel could provide a much better overall experience and would feel more deserving of its 4-star rating.
Beautiful hotel, very modern, very clean. Comfy beds, beautiful pool. Breakfast very nice selection of hot and cold food. Staff and service exceptional. Price reasonable. Only downside is expensive drinks from poolside bar.
We stayed for 4 nights. Hotel located in a perfect location close walk to many restaurants în Aci Trezza Very quiet. Nice pool. Great food and drinks by the pool bar area. Room was quiet and clean. Missing hair conditioner and body lotion in the bathroom which I found a bit strange. Maybe we could’ve asked for it at front desk as suggested by the room cleaning staff. Parking underneath which was great no need to worry or stress about finding a parking spot. We enjoyed it and definitely recommend the hotel.
Door was very hard to open. Jacuzzi did not work. There was a bar but it was not open. And the site said they had airport transfer but they did not. But the city was great
Personale molto gentile, colazione ben strutturata, posizione ottima per andare a mare, anche se la struttura è dotata di piscina con ottimo spazio e bar.
La chicca sono le stanze in zona piscina per chi va per passare le ferie.
Ottimo soggiorno
Splendido hotel in ottima posizione. Camera moderna, pulitissima. Personale gentilissimo. Ottimo ristorante e a buon prezzo. Colazione continentale a buffet molto ricca e di qualità. Nota personale: mi è stato concesso l’utilizzo del garage coperto e custodito una volta lasciato l’hotel. Una cortesia in più.
O hotel é bem melhor do que as fotos mostram. Sugiro que a área da piscina receba algumas plantas . Parece muito sem graça. Hotel excelente e bem localizado.
La struttura è curata, pulita e accogliente. Il personale si è dimostrato estremamente gentile, disponibile e professionale. La posizione dell’hotel è ideale.
Sicuramente tornerò

Hotel moderno e funzionale, camere luminose ad accoglienti. Pulizia e biancheria perfetta. Buona colazione, ottimo il garage coperto interno alla struttura. Reception cordiale e disponibile. Una ottima sosta.
Séjour parfait, belle chambre avec balcon sur la piscine, personnel professionnel et sympathique. La chambre était très propre, la literie de très bonne qualité également, et le petit déjeuner buffet copieux. Garage sécurisé (avec supplément) et emplacement proche des restaurants et du port. Nous y retournerons sans hésitation.
Nous avons passe un agréable séjour dans cet hôtel, chambre moderne avec belle décoration.
La piscine est très agréable.
Le petit déjeuner complet avec du choix.
La localisation est idéale, à pied pour aller sur le bord de rivage et en voiture pur visiter les alentours Taormine, l’Etna, et Catane.
Personnel à l écoute et pro actif.
