My stay at the hotel was absolutely fantastic! The rooms were incredibly spacious and beautifully appointed with ample storage space for all my luggage. The high-quality bathroom with an enormous walk-in shower was a real treat. It was probably one of the nicest hotel accommodations I have ever experienced, with a huge living room, elegant, comfortable furnishings, and amazing bathroom. However, the room was a bit small, simple, and rather dark, with deep teal walls.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms had a huge balcony with a million-dollar view but were noisy due to sounds of moving furniture. The staff was incredibly friendly and went out of their way to make my holiday special. The location offered stunning panoramic views but lacked immediate sunbeds. The dining experience was exceptional with a variety of Sicilian specialties, although more daily choices would be appreciated.
