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.

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.
