Staff were so friendly and helpful. The car attendants were trustworthy and helpful. We felt at ease handing over our keys to them and the carpark is spacious. We knew we would have no issues with our car. Room is spacious. The pool is big. Pool bar is great. We really couldnt fault the stay. It is outside Catania but we had a car!

The only fault I have is that car parking is an additional payment, however seems like this is standard in Sicily! We ate in the restaurant on site one night and the food was average. Lack of choice and expensive for what it was.

Staff were excellent. Pool and sea platform were amazing as was breakfast. View from room was also lovely. I would definitely recommend staying in this hotel the only issues we're little things about the layout of the room. It was a very relaxing stay and we will definitely be back.

Balcony was small and window didn't let in much light. Bedroom was arranged in a very odd way with table in the middle of the room. The coffee and tea station did not have any plugs so machines all needed moving to be used. The bathroom was also strangely laid out with the toilet right behind the door and the hook for towels right over the toilet. The bidet also didn't work.

Very good value for money. Facilities are very good, the staff very friendly and the food quite good (like most places in Catania). Comfy bed, very clean, nice view of the seaside. We went off season, but still, it was not too crowded. Also liked the design of the interior with the stairs. Not noisy. Overall we had a pleasant stay.

The shower head is fixed, not mobile. I know it doesn’t seem like a big thing, but it always bothers me as I don’t feel you can clean yourself properly. Might not be a problem for everyone though, it’s a personal dislike.

Excellent breakfast - large choice of main course and as well as for the desserts. Prosecco for the breakfast - the cherry on the cake :)

The only disadvantage during stay - the pool's working hours are not convenient at all. I.e. 10:00-18:00 is the time when you go out for a tour of the area, and it would be convenient to go to the pool in the morning 8:00-9:00 or in the evening after 18:00. Public transport - no timetable, difficult to plan trips. Taxi fares - huge :(

cleanness, comfortable, staff

Very friendly staff. When we had a problem with our door, they fixed it immediately. They gave us a veryg good car rental service. And a very nice breakfast.

The refill in general. I.e. Water and toilet paper in our room and we always had a late breakfast and it took them a lot of time to refill the food that was gone. Oh, and they have a typical taste for art... It was a pity that the spa was being renovated.

Room was very spacious with a very comfortable bed. The breakfast buffet offered a large selection of pastries and Sicilian snacks, it was nice to enjoy a slow morning outside. There was a small gym on site open 24x7. Last but not least, staff was really helpful!

Breakfast buffet had only a few choices of proteins (scrambled eggs/boiled eggs/tarta/sausages & bacon) , perhaps this was more suitable for the Italian taste for sweet breakfast. Rather small balcony compared to the size of the room, but still nice to enjoy the sea view.

Most importantly, I found the staff really friendly and ready to go the extra mile to help you out. The rooms are spacious and comfortable and the breakfast is amazing, with a large variety of options, including cannoli, Sicilian granita, and berry and apricot pies. Although it is quite far away from the airport and the centre of Catania, there is a bus stop right outside the hotel with routes to the centre.

You have to pay to access the pool (at least in peak summer season) - something like €12 for a full day and €8 for a half day. The spa costs €25 per hour and must be booked in advance. Just make sure you know these details in advance before booking

My choice was based on my experiencies of Marriott Hotels. High quality standards, clean rooms, kind staff and excellent location. The staff in the Bar also was very kind and helpful

Third party owned garage system. Doesn't speak english and very strange approach as they want to keep the key of the car without any insurrance and assurance. Thi is very weird the left my car key at an unknown person who does not belong to the Hotel.

Very pleasant and comfortable place to stay, the staff were welcoming, friendly and very helpful when it came to booking trips and taxis.

We found the evening restaurant menus were very limited in choice for my 13 year old son, as a result we only dined in the on-site restaurant twice during the course of our week-long stay. The hotel is also located in a slightly awkward location between Catania and Aci Castello, with no real amenities or shops within a reasonable distance. This is not a problem if you are reasonably fit and able, but families with children or older relatives might struggle to find much to do within the immediate vicinity of the hotel.
