Stayed here for 10 nights. It’s a nice hotel, nice grounds and 2 good size pools with plenty of sunbeds and overall clean. It is about 5 min (less) walk to the beach where you have a private area for a fee, purchased through the hotel reception. It is also about 10 min walk to the main square where there are plenty of restaurants and cafes, a further 10 min walk from the main square gets you to the marina which has a few more restaurants and bars. The cocktails at the hotel bar are reasonably priced it was €8 for an Aperol Spritz. It’s definitely worth getting a bus to Ragusa Iblea, the old town. Ask reception and they will print off a timetable and tell you where to get the bus, it’s two minutes from the main square. Top tip you will be told to get the bus from the bus station. It’s not a station as the UK know it, it’s a bus stop on the left hand side as you walk from the main square. Also worth hiring a car through the hotel, the company used have reasonable rates and it’s very easy to organise. We did that for one day and took a trip to Syracusa. To be aware of the additional fees by the hotel, which to be fair are stated on the website ( I think some on the FAQs and other on services page), but if you’re like me you don’t read every page of the hotel website if you’ve booked through a agency..so thought would be useful to mention here… €20 for full day on beach - 2 beds and 1 umbrella. It provides a lifeguard but nothing further so not quite sure why it’s so expensive. It’s more if you go in peak season. €3 to change your beach towel - really!! Don’t know if this is a usual italian hospitality fee but wherever else I’ve been in the world a fresh beach towel is provided daily. The website mentions €2 daily for the room safe…don’t know if we will be charged this as haven’t yet checked out. The poolside service could be improved massively, I only saw the bar staff walk round the pool 3 times while we stayed at the hotel, that was out of 3 full days spent at the pool, on one of those occasion the staff member walked straight passed me - I was going to order a drink! No snacks offered by the pool, I asked for some crisps to have with the aperol spritz and was told no. The room cleaning is hit and miss, when we left a tip which we did a few times, the room was cleaned well. But other times floors not swept, shower and toilet not cleaned. it’s also not a given that your balcony gets swept we had to keep asking. The beds were only changed once. Breakfast isn’t the best selection in my opinion but everyone else seemed ok with it. No fresh juice, out of a machine, don’t know why a hotel can’t manage fresh orange juice. Coffee is also out of a machine, surprising, I never really understand why hotels can’t serve fresh coffee especially in Italy/Sicily. Omelettes are made to order but for some reason the pancakes and crepes aren’t, they are batch cooked and left on the side to get cold and chewy.
