Twin room booked. Double provided not what we wanted! Room was small. Toiletries provided were tiny and not pleasant. The continuous bass sound from the adjacent pool was loud and intrusive causing headaches. The room and bathroom were very clean. Domesticas cleaned twice daily and replaced linen. No charging points for phone or ipad. The views were magnificent! The varied plant life and birds were superb!

Amazing 5* hotel - don’t think TUI booking gave it justice for the quality. Think should be clear that there is no evening entertainment and that it is several miles from other bars/restaurants. Easy to get transport into Ortigia but people without half-board found it expensive to go back and forth.

The hotel was in a stunning location and superbly maintained. Staff were helpful and friendly. The food offering - POOR. Breakfast was okay. No central bistro offering where you could order light food. You had to WhatsApp and it was delivered to where you were with a charge of 2 euros pp a club sandwich was 29 Euros. Dinner menu was limited and very expensive. We struggled to find anything other than the 2 chicken dishes which didn’t change that my husband could have eaten. There was no one dinner we had -2 courses (very good) and 2 drinks + water came to 150 euros. There was no public transport nearby. The option of taking the boat across to Ortigia was a USP but expensive at 25 euros pp and limited times. A taxi into Siracusa and Ortigia was 30 euros each way. The location was lovely but as the guests were ‘captive’ either a more reasonably priced dinner and lunchtime options should have been available as we have enjoyed in Corfu, Portugal and the Maldives, Caribbean. As well there could have been a free or subsidised shuttle bus to and from Siracusa. The cost implication of meals unfortunately affected the overall scores.

“Mysigt hotell med underbar utsikt”

Det var ett vackert och mysigt hotell. Synd att vatten inte var lätt att få tag på till rimligt pris. Dryck var ganska överpriset generellt. Hade varit trevligt med en liten butik. Engelskan på personalen skulle kunna vara lite bättre men dom var trevliga och bra service.

I have commented on the first page. The hotel was lovely but the food choices were minimal and hugely over priced. We would have loved to stay at the hotel some evenings but the only was to do this was to book the very expensive restaurant so we went over to the island every evening. Also the meal choices were very fancy and were a treat rather than everyday eating. Being so far away from everything, we felt this was a huge disadvantage to the hotel and they were really missing a trick. Having said all of that the staff were friendly and courteous. They were helpful and tried to accommodate our requests every time.
