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.

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 The rooms seem outdated but were spacious and were good enough for what I needed.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.

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.

More lije a schiol retreat than a beach hotel

On the beach and near the airport with good staff. However the place is rather run down for the price and effectively without viewing windows in the rooms.

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
