“Nielsen Sicily”

Beautiful resort in a stunning setting. Went with Nielsen so had access to water sports. Giotto makes amazing coffee for breakfast, nice to have a proper barista available.

“Ok, but could be better”

Great venue with some nice areas, e.g. the Calm Beach. However let down by the service, which is a long way from 5 star unfortunately. Also the food options are very mixed in quality and very limited and expensive for lunch. A hotel with great potential, but more work needed to meet the 5 star bad… lisää

“Clean hotel, poor experience”

Firstly I will say the good things about this hotel. It’s very clean, it’s very modern, most of the staff are pleasant and polite, the air con is good, the adults only area on the beach is very nice although you have to go down a very steep hill to get to it.

Firstly I will say the good things about this hotel. It’s very clean, it’s very modern, most of the staff are pleasant and polite, the air con is good, the adults only area on the beach is very nice although you have to go down a very steep hill to get to it. That half of our experience was great and there’s some nice scenery around too for walks ect. However, the location is awful. there’s nothing around so your forced to stay in the hotel most of the time and they take advantage of this and charge people who aren’t all inclusive a lot of money for food and drinks. 9 euros for 2x 75cl bottles of water is disgusting. The food was average at best as well, you’d think Becuase you’re forced to stay at the resort most of the time you’d have good food but it’s not good. The buffet on the night has a really small selection and the pasta dishes are very bland and poor. You have to ask for more than one scoop of ice cream for desserts as well they are very tight with that and that was probably the best thing on the menu. If you don’t like fish then this place isn’t for you either, the on site restaurant Donna Floriana Bistrot food is good don’t get me wrong but a majority of the menu is fish and there’s not many vegetarian options at all. If your coming to Sicily to have good Italian pasta dishes then avoid this place. The on site pizza restaurant was the best food we had although it’s not exactly hard to cook a pizza and the waiting times was a joke for that too. The nearest place to this hotel was the town of Sciacca which was beautiful but there’s not lots to do there and many of the restaurants there are mainly fish dishes as it’s an old fishing town. It’s 20 euros for a taxi one way also if you wanted to go on an evening if not it’s a shuttle bus in the day. The hotel do offer excursions and days out like the valley of the temples or a coach transfer to palemo. However these wasn’t great either the time to get to palemo from hotel is 1 hour 40 mins and it cost €40 pp (just for a coach ticket) and the valley of the temples cost €65 and that was without tickets which we had to pay for when we got there which was €22. The tour guide was good il give them that though! Another thing which was bad which we didn’t realise is they take a room deposit for any damages when you get there and it’s €200 which I thought was bad to take of guests as they arrive. We didn’t realise this and it made us feel stressed before we even got to our room. We eventually received the money back… 1 week after we returned home. The evening entertainment is absolutely horrendous, we were bored every night, and there’s no where you can go nearby either so take a set of cards. The pool is small as well and if your coming here without kids avoid the pool it’s chaos in the day with them splashing over everyone and jumping in everywhere without any consideration for people lying close to the pool. Overall it was an average experience. We wouldn’t stay here again, it’s a lot of money for a very average place, the best thing about the hotel is how clean and tidy it is but the actual experience is very poor. Please be mindful before booking this place.
