We stayed in this hotel for two weeks, touring from here to places in the area like Noto, Etna, Toarmina, Enna, Regusa, Modica etc. and had just a brilliant time. The location is like a green oasis with a lovely pool, and relaxing environment. The staff were so so friendly and always very helpful and made our time there very special. I don't think you could choose a better place to stay in the area from what we saw. The buffet style breakfast had plenty of variety and the location was simply beautiful and very well maintained. The lovely garden leads down to an exit which gives you direct assess to the beach, and the hotel had sunbeds and umbrellas that you use on the beach on request. We alternated between a day away touring and then a day of rest around the hotel or beach, and it was a perfect base for this. The hotel gives complimentary WiFi although this is only available in the reception area, but does however stretch to the sun loungers, so was very useful. The hotel does offer an evening meal which if you are budgeting would cost for 2 approx 70-90 euros 2012 with wine, but we found a local restaurant called Scirocco linked to the hotel Noto Marina round the corner that did local wine for 5 euros (.5ltr# - stick to white I would, salads from 4 euros #very good portions) and pizzas from 5 euros both of which were excellent; there were also a couple of local markets where you could sample local food. All in all HIGHLY recommended and you won't regret booking this hotel!
