Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Hotel Santa Tecla Palace. The facilities were excellent - beautiful infinity pool overlooking the sea, just like the photos. Plenty of sunbeds to relax in. Easy access to swim in the sea from the hotel, with lifeguards on duty. Delicious food at all the restaurants. There isn't much to do in the immediate surrounding area - we walked into the nearest town one evening but we decided that the bars and restaurants on offer at the hotel were much nicer. This was perfect for us as we had intended our short trip to be a relaxing one based in the hotel, but for anyone hoping to explore Sicily a bit more I'd recommend renting a car, as taxis can be expensive.

Santa Tecla Palace Hotel is a magic place not only for the position and the sea but above all for the people who work there. Rosy, Marianna, Emanuele ,just to mention few of them ,together with all the staff made our 10 days holiday special , comfortable and magic. The attention and care for the Guests is one of the highest I’ve ever experienced. From the reception to the room cleaning service to the Meals service, everything is perfectly done with a great and excellent care for the Guests. Thank you so much and Looking forward to come back for another magic holiday.

Nice hotel - nice room, amazing pool area

This was my first stay at the hotel. We were overall happy with our stay. The room was spacious and clean with a nice view, despite being located in the southern wing. AC worked well. Ample parking space which is valuable as well. The highlight of the hotel is the (salt water) pool area which is stunning and spacious with sun from morning to evening. The hotel also offers easy access to the sea if you prefer that, with rental SUPs etc. The restaurant serves really great food - pricey for the area, but reasonable given that’s it’s a hotel restaurant. Great service and generous portions. On the negative side: the hotel has no concierge which surprised me, and when I asked for help booking tickets to an event I received none. The sunbeds are plastic: uncomfortable and poor looking. Would be nice to see them acquire new sun beds would elevate the overall experience. The cushions/bedpillows were flat and hard - it’s an Italian thing, not worse or better than most hotels. But would love if the reception could offer other types of pillows. All in all a very good experience.

The location is great if you have a car. The staff is friendly. Especially the young couple at the pool, but one guy was so rood that we didn’t feel welcomed. The hotel was filled with local people not living in the hotel in the weekends this changed the standard of the clients. At breakfast we had to stand in line for a long time to get coffee but the the view was great. We complained about an animal on our rooftop waking us up in the morning at 6:30. It was a big one size of a dog and no one took us seriously. We have visited the place 3 times and stayed two weeks, this time the price was double up. It’s a pity as the hotel was almost empty with better prices the hotel could be full. The restaurant is really good but the system with some staff that can take orders and some not makes it slow. They are all kind I have to underline. The hotel shows signs of not being maintained for a long time.

Très bel hôtel avec belle vue mer pour ceux qui choisisse cette option, le personnel est sympathique mais dommage qu'il soit quasiment vide (très peu de clients avec nous ce qui rendait le séjour à l'hôtel moins vivant) et petit bémol pour le petit déjeuner qui n'est pas assez varié

Rolig og avslappendes

Det var et stort, rolig hotell, egentlig kun italienske turister. Hotellet har 1 restaurant , men der er mange små lokale restautanter i delvis gåavstand fra hotellet. Disse er en god del rimeligere enn hotellet . I ukedagene var der roligere enn i helgene. Fint bassengområde med bar/ snacks og litt musikk. De aller fleste av betjeningen var imøtekommende . Godt renhold. Gratis solstoler og håndduker hver dag. Trapp ned til sjøen. Det er ikke strender i nærheten. Det er lite å foreta seg utenfor hotellet. Nærmeste by er Acireale, 3 km unna, i bratte bakker. Nærmeste supermarked med 900m
