We had the best time for my mum's 60th birthday with a great base at Hotel Punta Nord-Est. Check in was seamless even though there were 9 of us and the hotel staff provided loads of information on the local area and how to get about, they booked taxi's and provided us an early breakfast spread as we needed to check out before the standard breakfast times. Breakfast was nice, and we loved sitting under the lemon tree in the courtyard. I usually prefer a hot breakfast but also enjoyed the array of pastries and Sicilian provisions. We had a room with a side view of the sea and mountain initially, but as it was my mum's birthday, the team generously allowed us to move to a full sea view with balcony on the last 2 days which was very appreciated. The rooms are nice, clean and modern, and come with a fridge with drinks (at a cost). The location of this hotel is great, just a short walk to the centre of Castellammare del Golfo where there are loads of restaurants, shops, port etc, we booked a boat trip from the port which was at a very reasonable price and so much fun. I love the small town feel, everyone was so friendly, and word spread of our presence (big characters in the group) and we were very welcomed throughout town. My mum and aunts visited the sister hotel to get a massage and use the spa facilities, they said it was amazing there. I walked to a supermarket 14 mins walk away to get some Sicilian treats for work and friends, but it was uphill half of the way, through narrow secluded lanes and quite an exhausting walk in the heat, but it was great to get some biscuits, pasta , sweets etc at a great price. If I were to plan the trip again I would hire a vehicle to travel around and further afield, for example we wanted to go to Palermo, but the bus times were very limited - only two options per day. All in all, we had an amazing time, it suited various ages and agility within the group. I would visit again! The weather was amazing on each of the 5 days we were there :)
