Really Dissappinting

Understaffed and lots of petty things spoilt a really beautiful hotel. Charges for pool towels and water in the room. Refusing an extra coffee at breakfast and some unfriendly staff members (some Lovely too). Wonderful pool area short work to the beautiful town. My friend had paid in advance and the hotel tried to take an extra deposit before arrival then again tried to take full payment on check out. Such a shame as so many good points to the hotel and would be very easy to make it feel more luxury and not be spoilt by petty things and irritated staff. Aware English people are generally annoying to the rest of Europe and maybe this was an issue which I can understand

The most expensive and the worst (by far) hotel we stayed in Sicily. Arrived late after a long day on the road. Got probably one of their worst rooms, in an almost empty hotel, in a dark corner with a claustrophobic feel. Woke up super congested, it turns out the bathroom has a strong mold smell. There is no step to the shower cabin, and all the water leaking on the floor did it’s damage over time. We were moved to an equal size room with a properly designed shower cabin, without the mold problem and with more open views. While an almost empty hotel in off-season would put their guests in the worst rooms defies logic, especially given their VIP, free upgrades protocols. Breakfast was also the worst we experienced in Sicily, stale Costc-llike muffins. In all the other places we stayed in Sicily there was a cornucopia of delicious crostadas, eggs etc. The freshly squeezed orange juice was nice but we had that everywhere. Had to work for part of the day and chose a hotel with presumably a good internet connection. The problem is that it requires to reconnect your devices each time after they went dormant which can cause problems with uploads and downloads.

We had a room overlooking the ocean and could not have been more pleased! The sunrise view every morning was amazing! Our room was immaculate and spacious... we had a junior suite. No complaints. It had an extra single bed, so it would have been a good family room, too. The bathroom was also spacious and had a whirlpool as well as bathrobes and slippers. The hotel itself is located beween a busy street in the front and train tracks behind it. When the windows were closed, we hardly noticed any noise. Breakfast was delicious and there was plenty to choose from. I am vegetarian and had no problems finding enough to eat. I really enjoyed the scrambled eggs, the fresh fruit, tomatoes and cucumber and Sicilian sweet specialties. And pizza. :) The view from the breakfast room was also towards the ocean. Was beautiful. The Aquadelferro restaurant in the hotel... I can really recommend it for dinner. I never had a better tasting pizza from any other Italian restaurant. The dough is soooooo delicious and I ate the "Il Tocco" as a vegetarian choice. There are limited free parking spaces at the hotel, so first come first serve. But just across the street where the hotel entrance is located is a parking lot (for customers of the restaurant within the hotel) with plenty of spaces. Also free of charge. We simply parked there. Would we stay here again if we came back to this area of Sicily? Most definitely! We really enjoyed our stay. :D

If you’re not renting a car, I’d strongly recommend choosing somewhere else. The hotel is far from the train station, taxis are difficult to get (especially in the evenings), and I ended up spending so much on taxis that I could have afforded a nicer hotel in Taormina or Ortigia. There are also no convenient beaches nearby. The rooms were clean, but housekeeping starts around 8 a.m. and the doors have very poor soundproofing, so I was woken every morning by noise in the corridor. Breakfast was disappointing because if you arrive around 9:30 a.m., much of the food has already run out and isn’t replenished, despite breakfast continuing until 10:00. On one morning I had to wait to boil my own egg because there was very little left. By the time I sat down with just a boiled egg and some toast, it was around 10:10. The waitress became visibly annoyed, loudly clearing dishes around me and speaking to me in an aggressive manner when I was simply finishing my breakfast. It was an unpleasant experience and not how I’d expect to be treated as a paying guest. Finally, the pool was rarely relaxing. The loungers were often reserved with towels for long periods and the area was very busy with families and children, so I hardly used it. The reception staff were lovely throughout my stay, but because of the location, noise and restaurant experience, I wouldn’t recommend this hotel unless you have your own car.

Nothing did stand out for good, or bad. Definitely wouldn't recommend it as a stay for the location, makes no sense, it's far from everything, unless you're visiting Acireale, then of course. But still, was absolutely average, not worth the value, unless again you want to explore Acireale.
