So much potential here but what a disappointment. The property is run down, there was some sort of dance party with a stage that played base on Saturday night that didn't stop until 0530. No sleep. I booked on Expedia and the property details said laundry facility, there is none. The property price gouges on weekends but we didn't have a choice for the location. They open up their property to non guests to pay for the beach access which leads to over crowding and difficulty finding parking. The bathroom was so old and gross and room was dark and old. For the price you should go out of your way for a different location.

Do not recommend!

Okay, I know everyone says this, but it is RIGHT by the airport and sooo loud. Also, they do play loud music on the beach till 1 am. The beds are HORRIBLY uncomfortable. The pillow is even worse. We had about half a roll of cheap toilet paper which was all used before we even went to sleep. No extra. Office closed. Yuck! The towel bars are propped on the wall, broken.It is soo dirty because it is on the beach. Nice sand beach though. We ate dinner at the restaurant and it was very good. The beach is extremely dirty, litter everywhere. This is the definition of a no frills place to sleep. Way overpriced for what it was. The front desk lady is nice and helpful though.

Direkt neben unserem Bungalow, befand sich eine Diskothek. Wir konnten nicht schlafen, Musik wurde bis halb 4 Uhr morgens gespielt. Um Mitternacht suchte ich die Rezeption auf, der Rezeptionist erklärte mir, er kann nichts machen, da die Diskothek einen anderen Besitzer hätte, aber das „nur“ bis 2 Uhr Musik gespielt werden würde. Auch beim Check Out haben wir darauf hingewiesen, dass uns nichteinmal mitgeteilt wurde, dass sich eine Diskothek unmittelbar zum Zimmer befindet. Keine Entschuldigung, keine Entschädigung. Absolut nicht zu empfehlen

This is very close to the airport which worked for our early flight. The resort is set up like a beach resort with one story buildings that span the property. There was a band playing the night we stayed that was very loud so I had to wear ear buds to sleep. The rooms seem outdated but were spacious and were good enough for what I needed. The check in process was fast and they were friendly and set up a cab for us for 4 am in the morning. Overall I’m happy with what we got for the price we paid.

Wir haben zum Glück nir eine Nacht in diesem Zimmer gebucht nach unserer Ankunft in Catania. Das Zimmer hat nu ein kleines Fenster, welches man nicht öffnen kann, weil sonst der Scheinwerfer direkt ins Zimmer leuchtet. Auch der Dampfabzug der Küche vis a vis dröhnt extrem. Die Flugzeuge starten und landen direkt über dem Resort, was ein Höllenlärm macht

Pire expérience.

Pour commencer, on me donne une chambre avec un problème électrique, résultat, pas de lumière en arrivant, je demande quelqu’un, on me réponds que c’est normal, c’est la clim qui fait tout sauter… Voyant mon regard, on me donne les clés d’une deuxième chambre, quand je rentre, de l’eau partout à l’intérieur de la chambre devant la porte… Je n’aime pas tellement déranger, j’ai donc nettoyé par moi même, j’ai déplacé les meubles pour enlever l’eau et j’ai retrouvé tout et n’importe quoi sous les meubles, très mauvais ménage. Je suis resté une semaine, on as plusieurs fois oublié de me recharger le shampooing, ou de me donner du papier toilette, super. Un matelas incroyablement inconfortable, sans parler des avions qui décollent toutes les 5 minutes a 200 mètres d’ici. Le restaurant était vraiment moyen, pas de carte en anglais, je demande ce qu’il y a dans un plat, on me répond du bœuf, je le prends, on me ramène de la dinde… Pire expérience.

Struttura datata stile anni 80 però con il fascino che sta davanti al mare. Basterebbero alcune migliorie per renderlo accettabile. Ristorante si mangia bene e personale gentile, la struttura come le abitazioni sono da rivedere. Consigliato se siete a Catania per lavoro e in macchina

Having missed our flight home due to losing our passports, we tried to find some last minute accommodation near Catania Airport. Options were limited but this property was advertised as a bungalow with a private beach. Sounded nice for 1 night. We were horrified when we arrived. The bungalow was just a small square building with 1 room for beds, kitchen and a table, and a separate room for WC & shower. There was loud music blaring out from a nearby beach for most of the night plus the noise from overhead aircraft taking off (no chance of triple glazing here). In addition we found 2 cockroaches in the room. Suffice to say, we didn't get much sleep that night. The free breakfast was also poor. It was a buffet but not much choice on offer. The coffee was cheap & nasty and the food choices were of poor quality. I could understand if this was a budget resort, but the room cost an incredible 200 Euros (170 tax) for 1 night. To be fair, the private beach did look quite nice and I suspect this is why it was so expensive. But honestly, don't stay here if you value your sleep.

Si vous arrivez ou partez de Catane en avion, ce village touristique est idéalement placé pour une première nuit ou dernière nuit et un premier ou dernier bain de mer. Évidemment, à cause de la proximité avec l'aéroport, des avions passent juste au-dessus! Mais pas dans la nuit! Le petit déjeuner est inclus dans la prestation. Les bungalows sont un peu vieillots, mais la literie est bonne. En revanche, la réception de la TV est mauvaise et il n'y a que 3 chaines qui fonctionnent.

On the beach and near the airport with good staff. However the place is rather run down for the price and effectively without viewing windows in the rooms.
