The property was very nice and clean, however, we were disappointed as none of the pools were open, we were looking forward to using the pools, the availability of food nearby wasn’t that great. There were not many restaurants in the hotel or near the hotel. Most pizzerias were closed or under construction.

The hotel is in good location, but needs modernization. Most of the staff were very nice and made our stay at hotel but more comfortable. As my wife is a vegan she found it very difficult to get vegan food. More needs to be done in this area. The staff tried their best to help us but the language barrier made it a challenge. One of the reason we chose Saracens hotel is that on the website, we were lead to believe we would have use the swimming pool, spa facilities , sauna, jacuzzi. But nothing was open.

Close to the beach and great breakfast including GF options. The water took a long time to get hot.

Paid for a room facing sea, got a room with an admittedly good side view. No hot water in the morning so had to skip the shower and shave. Corridors funnel noise in to the room due to tiles on the floor. School tours book this hotel but the staff try to segregate them. In summary it was OK but I would have booked elsewhere had I known in advance.

The customer service was very ice and all though it wasn't really that busy it was what we needed for the price. The rooms weren't as great as the pictures showed however we were only in them to sleep and that was ok. They provided GREAT SERVICE

Second time staying here for one night pre early flight home, had the buffet dinner which we had earlier in the year also but this time although good had a much reduced choice, we had recommended the stay to friends also and told them of the wonderful buffet so was disappointed

Used for one night before early flight home to save the early morning drive across Palermo. Will definitely use again during next visit. The self service buffet evening meal is a very good value, with excellent choices for the money

If you want a quiet holiday, this is not for you! Lots of large groups of holiday makers, loud music at both sides of the site. No options for eating unless you opt for full board (only one bar snack available, toasted sandwich) and limited bar options (the bar near reception closes at 5pm). But staff are helpful and welcoming, and premises kept very clean.

This is a nice hotel, with very attentive staff, and big rooms. The beach is beautiful and the mountains in the backdrop are stunning. Outstanding sunsets. Close to airport and Palermo. Food is buffet and so hard to get excited about.

What a great hotel!! The staff is excellent and so helpful, from the staff at the reception desk to the servers at the buffet. It is a fun and friendly atmosphere of large and small groups. The decor is eclectic with a strong sense of design. I would recommend this hotel to anyone. Beautiful views of the Tyrrhenian Sea.

The room I was staying in was renovated and comfortable but its what I would expect from a 3 star. The common areas were run down and the restaurant isn't even open all day (I'm during the actual day not night). Staff were amazing though.

We stayed here for one night. It’s a very large resort hotel so we didn’t do much since we were passing though in between other destinations and plans. The pool was basic and the large one was closed for some reason when I tried to take my kids. I did not go to the beach which looked nice. The biggest bummer was their buffet dinner (30 euro per adult). It was not good at all. Food did not seem fresh and reminded me of cafeteria food. The rooms were clean and comfortable though. Very loud at night with music.

Everything was great, up until we needed a taxi to the train station. The desk lady just kind of pointed the right outside and said you can catch a taxi over there. But the night before, the other lady at the desk said it would be no problem to call you a taxi. So there you go. Then the taxi guy I got us to the train station gouged us around $40.00

The prop was not well maintained. Inside it was clean but not welcoming. The gardens and exterior of the building was run down. Bars and dining was limited. Staff in the pizzeria was very friendly and the pizza was good. Unfortunately the atmosphere at the hotel was cold. Nice beach, don’t try to be there at sunset, you get locked out.

4/10

It is what it says it is - a conference hotel. We stayed there one night because it is convenient (10 min drive) to Palermo airport but it was completely rammed with conference goers. The hotel reception and service staff simply could not cope with the volume. Bedroom was an odd layout and very plasticky but it was clean and the bed was comfortable. Located next to a nice looking beach but we felt this was more a transitory stop than a longer term destination. Couple of nice restaurants nearby.

The hotel is a bit older but we got the impression a renovation is started. The bathroom needs also some renovation as the shower made the whole bathroom wet. Breakfast was simpel but okay. In the evening there is life entertainment and as you can hear even your neighbours when they spoke loud, you certainly heared the music of this entertainment. But overall the service was super and we slept good!
