We stayed for 3 nights in this hotel. We choose this hotel because it writes it has a spa. But surprisingly when we arrived the spa was closed for 3 months renovations. We don’t got any information about the spa. For us 150€/night is not worth it at all for an hotel without spa. The staff not helpful at all.

Mediocre stay not in line with promo photos
Hotel is pleasant and you can understand the beauty in the main lobby. Rooms are a bit worn out (some rust in bathroom...) but stimm nice design. End of May is low season so also breakfast was probably adjusted... very limited choice of food and absolutely not on level of 4star hotel. Spa is there but not included for hotel guests, priced at 40€/hour/person which seems unreasonably high.

This hotel is amazing - the excellent greeting & check in was superior. The hotel was hosting a Disney Weekend & the atmosphere was electric. Mickie & Minnie Mouse were fun & spoke to our Grand Daughter. Rosa, who manages the hotel spoke excellent English - very polite & really happy in her role. Attention to detail was covered in every area of the hotel - chandeliers - exquisite furniture - cleanliness in every area made it all perfect. Bedroom was cleaned daily - fresh crisp sheets - bathroom accessories- coffee supplied daily. Staff were friendly - smiling at their work. Walking distance to nearby shops & restaurants- Pumpkin Pizza is fab. I would fully recommend this hotel - it is a home from home experience & I know for sure we will be back. This Hotel has ticked all the boxes & more - I visited the SPA situated across the way & chilled in the beautiful surroundings - Thank you Rosea for a fantastic treatment. If you want to stay somewhere Central along the coast of Sicily this hotel is highly recommended.

Completely honest review
Bed bugs, we were bitten all night. Thankfully it was only the one night. Very old fashioned, in serious need of modernisation. Shower head disgustingly unclean and water pressure is very low. Towels had holes in them. Jet bath, shoots out the water all over the bathroom so you can’t use it. Lift access to beach does not take you to the beach, it takes you to the harbour. Extremely overpriced. Spa is not included in stay, you have to pay extra to use it. When in Sicily, most of the day is spent exploring so you look forward to a nice shower and a good nights sleep. You won’t get this in Marina hotel. When we advised them in the morning of all the faults they said we didn’t have to pay the 4 euro city tax as compensation! We didn’t want money back just extremely disappointed in the hotel and the service provided. I strongly recommend you stay at the Azzurra Apartments one street up. They are very clean and modern, great showers and beds and very spacious.

Hotel was really nice, apart from our room was crazy hot at night. We travelled with our young daughter and every night was soaked in sweat. We kept asking them to turn on our air con, but would never lower the temperature for us to a comfortable level. Slightly disappointing! The breakfast was average, would expect slightly more for a 4 star.. over all was average..

Terribly noisy, would not return.
We were looking for a quiet place near the Palermo airport where we could have a good night rest before flying early the next day with our baby girl. At our arrival we learned there was a big wedding taking place at the hotel. We were concerned but the woman at the front desk guaranteed it would be over early and kindly gave us an upgrade. On our way to the room we had to jump over laundry bags filled with napkins from the wedding and boxes of mineral water bottles. The room was spacious and had a nice sea view, but when we had a look down our window we saw a bunch of tables set up for the wedding after party with a DJ set up and all. So we asked to be moved to another room and after some time we were given one at the spa across the street. It was nice and seemed quiet. But that changed after the train passed by. We realised the train tracks were just meters away. It was late and we had to put our 17 mth old baby to sleep and we thought the train would pass just once or twice through the night. So we went to bed, but at around 9:30-10:00 some REALLY LOUD live music started to play. It was as if it was being played inside the room! We never found out if it came from the wedding or the bars down the street, but we couldn't do anything about it. Fortunately it was over after about two hours. The cherry on the cake was the door lock buzzer on the main entrance of the building buzzing all night long with people coming in to the hotel. Overall a terrible experience!!!

Great potential but it just 'misses it'.
The hotel's registrations on websites like expedia/hotels.com is not accurate. We upgraded our room on hotels.com to superior sea view and the hotel tried to put us in a rear facing family room saying sea view was 40 euros a night extra - that was resolved quite quickly on us showing the staff their own website's interpretation of a superior room..... They have a bar but it seldom seemed staffed and I had to pester the reception desk twice to get a drink from the bar as while the reception was empty the person attending it needed to get another colleague to serve us at the bar. The shower doors on the bar allowed loads of water to leak onto the floor which didn't bother us but would be a trip hazard for kids/people not too steady on their feet. We needed several towels to act as a 'barrier' for the water getting across the room..... The breakfast is lovely and hotel interior amazing, views incredible. But there are a lot of things that hold this hotel back. It's a 10 minute walk to the beach - which has no umbrellas. We drove round to Castellamare del Golfo (worth the drive as it's amazing). The hotel takes bookings for events (several on on the Sunday we were there) and there is no where for hotel guests to go. We couldn't use the pool in the early evening as there was dessert being served by the pool for a holy communion event and the place was overrun by very well dressed locals and many many children. We felt totally uncomfortable so just cleared off.
