Great hotel. Sub-par neighborhood

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.

Family vacation

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
