unlit steps safety hazard
the view of ortigia was acceptable by day and by night.
The service was DIRE! staff seemed to do the minimum to tick the boxes. There was rarely a smile. the last steps down from the general walking area were unlit. It was a huge safety hazard after dark.

underwhelming stay.

isolated hotel impersonal service
the location was acceptable.
The hotel felt very isolated, a taxi to town cost a fortune. service at the pool was minimal. Everything had to be ordered via a phone app. i also found the pool area itself looked quite uninviting.

excellent stay, superb views

olive tree sandy beach
I loved how immaculate the hotel was! the cactus and olive tree gardens were beautiful. the view was really fabulous. One side has a rocky beach with views of ortigia, and the other side has a lovely sandy beach overlooking a cove.
the lack of handrails presented a serious challenge when going up and down steps. it's an easy change that should be made.
