This is very close to the airport which worked for our early flight. The resort is set up like a beach resort with one story buildings that span the property. There was a band playing the night we stayed that was very loud so I had to wear ear buds to sleep. The rooms seem outdated but were spacious and were good enough for what I needed. The check in process was fast and they were friendly and set up a cab for us for 4 am in the morning. Overall I’m happy with what we got for the price we paid.

Worse place I’ve ever stayed. There is nothing around the area to do, not even a supermarket. The whole place is pretty much a construction sight. Room didn’t even have any windows and was cold, dirty and worn down.

Bugs in the sheets on the bed. Bugs in the bathroom sink. Flushing the toilet was followed by a very loud noise I think was a pump to refill toilet reservoir. Wi-Fi virtually nonexistent. Noisy beach bar. Adjacent discotheque had very loud music until 2 a.m. Very limited hotel restaurant with inexperienced staff

So much potential here but what a disappointment. The property is run down, there was some sort of dance party with a stage that played base on Saturday night that didn't stop until 0530. No sleep. I booked on Expedia and the property details said laundry facility, there is none. The property price gouges on weekends but we didn't have a choice for the location. They open up their property to non guests to pay for the beach access which leads to over crowding and difficulty finding parking. The bathroom was so old and gross and room was dark and old. For the price you should go out of your way for a different location.

Do not recommend!

Okay, I know everyone says this, but it is RIGHT by the airport and sooo loud. Also, they do play loud music on the beach till 1 am. The beds are HORRIBLY uncomfortable. The pillow is even worse. We had about half a roll of cheap toilet paper which was all used before we even went to sleep. No extra. Office closed. Yuck! The towel bars are propped on the wall, broken.It is soo dirty because it is on the beach. Nice sand beach though. We ate dinner at the restaurant and it was very good. The beach is extremely dirty, litter everywhere. This is the definition of a no frills place to sleep. Way overpriced for what it was. The front desk lady is nice and helpful though.

Having missed our flight home due to losing our passports, we tried to find some last minute accommodation near Catania Airport. Options were limited but this property was advertised as a bungalow with a private beach. Sounded nice for 1 night. We were horrified when we arrived. The bungalow was just a small square building with 1 room for beds, kitchen and a table, and a separate room for WC & shower. There was loud music blaring out from a nearby beach for most of the night plus the noise from overhead aircraft taking off (no chance of triple glazing here). In addition we found 2 cockroaches in the room. Suffice to say, we didn't get much sleep that night. The free breakfast was also poor. It was a buffet but not much choice on offer. The coffee was cheap & nasty and the food choices were of poor quality. I could understand if this was a budget resort, but the room cost an incredible 200 Euros (170 tax) for 1 night. To be fair, the private beach did look quite nice and I suspect this is why it was so expensive. But honestly, don't stay here if you value your sleep.

Direkt neben unserem Bungalow, befand sich eine Diskothek. Wir konnten nicht schlafen, Musik wurde bis halb 4 Uhr morgens gespielt. Um Mitternacht suchte ich die Rezeption auf, der Rezeptionist erklärte mir, er kann nichts machen, da die Diskothek einen anderen Besitzer hätte, aber das „nur“ bis 2 Uhr Musik gespielt werden würde. Auch beim Check Out haben wir darauf hingewiesen, dass uns nichteinmal mitgeteilt wurde, dass sich eine Diskothek unmittelbar zum Zimmer befindet. Keine Entschuldigung, keine Entschädigung. Absolut nicht zu empfehlen
