This is a beautiful resort - with unusual architecture and crystal blue waters. It is well appointed, beautifully designed, and the rooms are comfortable and spacious. Ours had an amazing view of the Mediterranean. The hotel is very well maintained and very clean throughout - which is difficult to do by the shore with sand everywhere. The beach is beautiful, with lovely loungers and beach umbrellas. Clean waters, no rocks to cut your feet on. The staff was always incredibly helpful and friendly, in particular Roberta the beach manager, Gaspare from Sealosophy who taught my son how to paddle board and the maitre d', Daniele (? If I am recalling his name) who went out of his way to ensure my son could have a gluten free alternative. The breakfast buffet is very extensive with lots of healthy choices. There are also some more exclusive sit down restaurants which I would recommend for dinner. Though the location is beautiful it is really the staff who make this place magical -they are so kind and attentive.

“Very relaxed”

We would like to thank all the staff for a wonderful holiday and a great stay. As a family of 4 we booked 2 twin rooms and they provided us with 2 twin rooms next to each other which were adjoining with internal doors and this was absolutely perfect. The rooms were very comfortable, clean and nicely decorated. We were on the ground floor and had a lovely view of the garden and sea and had a short stroll to the pool. The pool area and pool bar were very relaxed and clean and we never had any problems getting a sun bed and parasol at any time of the day. Now to the food! We were all inclusive and we have to say that the food was exceptional. The selection at breakfast was plentiful and lunch and dinner was varied every day. The fish and meat selections for lunch and dinner were different every day and we loved the little taster bits put out around the cold meat/cooked vegetable area. Every fish and meat dish that we all had was cooked perfectly and tasted great. I have to apologise for forgetting the managers name who was present in the dining hall and bar area, but on our first night he gave us his card and said that if there was anything that our children would like to have for lunch and dinner then he would get this sorted. Thankfully the food was so good that we did not need to this but felt that was a lovely gesture. We really enjoyed the fact that the evenings were very quite and relaxed and enjoyed the DJ on the bar terrace as the sun was going down. If you get the chance then we recommend to pop into Sciacca for a short trip. Great cafes, shops and lots of 17th/18th century architecture to admire.
