    The food was a little expensive The drive to the hotel at night through a dark narrow road, may be best to advise clients to manage expectations on arrival

    Location on the seaside and great views of Ortigia across the water. The boat taxi to Ortigia from the hotel avoiding the drive into Siracusa Breakfast choice and been able to sit on the seaview terrace to admire the view The private sandy beach The upgrade to a suite was excellent

    Dirty iron that left a stain when steamed. Hotel dry cleaned the shirt but it is not acceptable for hotel of this level. Size of iron board delivered to room was also super tiny and not convenient at all. Cucumber salad for 23 euros could have been a bit more than just sliced cucumber XD and corona mask signs could have been removed after pandemic to avoid guests having unsafe feeling for no reason

    Excellent cleanness, location, staff, room and facilities.

    We had a few problems with our suite, the drains smelt really bad, there was no hot water on one day, there was some confusion over payment on the boat taxi and the taxi to the train station arrived 20 mins late......luckily we did make the train so all good and they did resolve the other issues. The boat skipper and concierge were a little standoffish which made you feel a bit unwelcome. It's rare I complain at a hotel but here I felt I had to pull them up on something every day which isn't a nice way to spend a holiday. I think we were just a little unlucky, but given the cost of the hotel, you don't expect to have a room smelling of drains with no hot water. It's very expensive to eat at the resort but we expected that.

    Stunning location and scenery, breakfast was amazing, beautiful beach and incredible views. Good gym too! The boat taxi was cool. One of the waiters at breakfast was a real joy, they always had a huge smile and were super friendly. T

    This resort is a class act. The landscaping was exceptional. Breakfast was very good with the option to sit outside. We enjoyed the private beach with lifeguard on duty. It’s sandy and wonderful ! They upgraded us to the most extraordinary villas with impeccable quality throughout and our own lap pools! It was a slice of heaven for 4 nights and we could park our car right outside the gate. Thank you very much, Luca! We hope to come back again ! <3

    It is difficult trying to get the balance between creating a relaxing environment whilst providing adequate entertainment for guests. Given the resorts relative isolation from the town of Siracusa, more entertainment should be provided in the form of music at the pool and entertainment at dinner in the evenings. More guests would have stayed in the resort rather than venture to Siracusa most days.

    The staff were extremely helpful attentive and welcoming. The food was excellent and the choice at breakfast was impressive. The resort is located on a headland across the bay from Siracusa. There is a selection of pool, beach and rocky outcrops where you can relax and SISK up the Sun.

    A little long distance to the city and Ortigia. We took the shuttle boat over one evening for dinner, but it was a bit overpriced.

    Lovely hotel area, and we had a really great room with a beautiful view. Good breakfast, and good restaurant with slightly high prices.

    The Sicilian BBQ wasn't the greatest for Italian food. The pasta was nothing special, but the atmosphere made up for the lack in flavor in the dinner. The breakfast options were fantastic.

    Beautiful location. The hotel grounds were impeccable. The view of Ortigia from the hotel was amazing. The staff was pleasant and accommodating. The beach and ocean areas were perfection. The rooms were definitely updated and everything you would need was provided.

    Only minus points is would be nice to have a bar and a shop . Prices of food and drink way over the top which was a shame. Feels like the restaurant facility could be far better utilised.

    Our room was upgraded to a suite to accommodate my family of 4 which was nice for the hotel to do. Although the suite was a good size the setup was a little odd. There was no door or closure on the bathroom which made it very awkward for privacy. My family and I was bit by several mosquitoes while in the suite for the first few minutes. Cost of food and drinks was astronomical plus added additional fees to be delivered to the beach, when there are no options to pick any food or drinks up and take away. As a 5 star property I would expect this to be a courtesy and part of 5 star level service.

    The resort is beautiful. My family enjoyed the rocky beach and taking the boat service to see Siracusa. I staff was kind and friendly.

    The food quality- given Italy has some of the best food in the world. This was without the worst we've had in the many weeks we've spent out in Italy Sadly the cost of the food and drink is very high. The hotel is far away (walking) from anywhere else to eat or drink which means you are forced to pay high fees.

    Private beaches were quite different to one another and relaxing Overall facilities were impressive Ordering 'room service' to anywhere on the hotel grounds was great Room cost was pretty reasonable for a 5 star Style of hotel complex was cool
