This resort is a class act. The landscaping was exceptional. Breakfast was very good with the option to sit outside. We enjoyed the private beach with lifeguard on duty. It’s sandy and wonderful ! They upgraded us to the most extraordinary villas with impeccable quality throughout and our own lap pools! It was a slice of heaven for 4 nights and we could park our car right outside the gate. Thank you very much, Luca! We hope to come back again ! <3

Amazing location, getting water taxi into Ortigia, great places to swim/sit in sun/read book, helpful staff, great views from rooms

Food at the restaurant was average - too expensive for small portions. A private event was also held the weekend we were there, and we were not told until half an hour before the event that the viewing terrace/restaurant/cliff side swimming area would be closed for it - would have appreciated being informed in advance so we could make plans around it

Minareto staff and management ensured my sister and I had an incredible stay. Everything was incredibly beautiful from the rooms to the views to the gold beach. We were originally booked for 3 rooms, but our parents could not join at the last minute, and Minareto staff upgraded our non-refundable rooms when they did not have to. We celebrated a birthday and they sent a bottle of champagne and the restaurant sang a song with a cake. It was all exceptional and we appreciated every minute.

The restaurant had some great dishes and some less great dishes. Some refinement would be helpful. The lunch menu might be expanded for variety.

The two beaches The wonderful site with the amazing view on ortiggia The boat to go to Ortiggia The staff was really nice and professional The what’s app system to order food and drinks is super proficient … Our room was spacious and comfortable

The food menu was limited and super expensive We would have expected to eat Sicilian food… The water was charged and expansive (6€ a bottle) whereas we could not drink tap water and had nowhere to buy water around the hotel. Water should have been complimentary…

The hotel was generous to upgrade us to an extremely comfortable suite. We very much enjoyed the decor and space of the room, the choice of 3 different swimming areas and the excellent breakfasts overlooking the sea. The whole environment has been beautifully planted with olive trees and exotic cactus plants. It was a relaxing and indulgent break. Greatly appreciated.

Rather bland architectural features of main building and restaurant. Very expensive restaurant and - apart from the wonderful (but pricey) sea taxi - a tad remote from the action and sights of Ortigia. Certainly not as eco as it might like to think of itself.

Location, stunning view, all sunbathing locations are nice, as well as the sandy one in a bay as the rocks with a view. Swimming pool and a sitting area on top of the sea as if you’re on a cruise ship. Room/beach and all around service of food and drinks is quick and handy, the quality very good.

The interior decoration is a bit old fashioned, upholstery is not the ideal decor for the seaside. A bit disappointing for a *****star luxury that there is not a complimentary water supply in the rooms

Excellent cleanness, location, staff, room and facilities.

Dirty iron that left a stain when steamed. Hotel dry cleaned the shirt but it is not acceptable for hotel of this level. Size of iron board delivered to room was also super tiny and not convenient at all. Cucumber salad for 23 euros could have been a bit more than just sliced cucumber XD and corona mask signs could have been removed after pandemic to avoid guests having unsafe feeling for no reason

The place is beautiful views are absolutely stunning.Staff were very professional always with a smile. Would definitely be back as all my family and I had a wonderful time. Also my daughters room was upgraded and this made our holiday even more pleasant since we had two young children.Thank you Minareto we will be back!

There was absolutely nothing we didnt like

Stunning location and scenery, breakfast was amazing, beautiful beach and incredible views. Good gym too! The boat taxi was cool. One of the waiters at breakfast was a real joy, they always had a huge smile and were super friendly. T

We had a few problems with our suite, the drains smelt really bad, there was no hot water on one day, there was some confusion over payment on the boat taxi and the taxi to the train station arrived 20 mins late......luckily we did make the train so all good and they did resolve the other issues. The boat skipper and concierge were a little standoffish which made you feel a bit unwelcome. It's rare I complain at a hotel but here I felt I had to pull them up on something every day which isn't a nice way to spend a holiday. I think we were just a little unlucky, but given the cost of the hotel, you don't expect to have a room smelling of drains with no hot water. It's very expensive to eat at the resort but we expected that.

The staff were extremely helpful attentive and welcoming. The food was excellent and the choice at breakfast was impressive. The resort is located on a headland across the bay from Siracusa. There is a selection of pool, beach and rocky outcrops where you can relax and SISK up the Sun.

It is difficult trying to get the balance between creating a relaxing environment whilst providing adequate entertainment for guests. Given the resorts relative isolation from the town of Siracusa, more entertainment should be provided in the form of music at the pool and entertainment at dinner in the evenings. More guests would have stayed in the resort rather than venture to Siracusa most days.
