This hotel needs also some Tender Love: the first room they gave us had a mattress that looked like an elephant had just got up from there. Bathroom really outdated. They then transferred us in another triple room: I do not think this room is ok to host more than 2 people. It felt crammed, and in case of fire, I believe we would not have made it out. My friend said: it looks like a hospital room.. Well, when my son video called and I showed him the room he said: wow, it looks like a orphanage room... :-( Also, we were not informed that if we wanted to use the beach (private beach it said), we needed to pay.. OMG! What a rip off.. On a good note, the restaurant food was outstanding..

A fuir absolument!

À fuir absolument !! Nous avions réservé 4 nuits à l’hôtel Gabbiano… nous sommes partis au bout d’UNE seule ! Une expérience cauchemardesque du début à la fin. La piscine est RIDICULEMENT petite, et cerise sur le gâteau : elle est fermée de 12h à 16h, en plein moment où on aimerait se rafraîchir. Ajoutez à cela un accès à la mer quasi impossible : drapeau rouge pendant 4h à cause de la mer agitée – super quand on a deux enfants de 8 et 5 ans qui crèvent de chaud… Et ce n’est pas fini ! Bonnet de bain obligatoire à la piscine (2,50 € l’unité, évidemment à vos frais). Les serviettes de plage ? 5 € pièce. Et si vous pensez profiter des transats et parasols de l’hôtel : préparez encore 20 € par jour ! Une honte. Côté ambiance : un enfer sonore. Musique forte et cris jusqu’à 1h du matin, impossible de dormir. Le petit déjeuner ? Inexistant. Aucun choix, et le peu qu’il y a est franchement mauvais. Bref, une arnaque du début à la fin. Hôtel bruyant, mal organisé, cher pour ce que c’est, et totalement inadapté pour les familles. Une nuit nous a suffi pour comprendre : à éviter comme la peste !

Hotel accogliente con personale disponibile. Posizionato sul mare e dotato di piscina per bambini, ma piacevole anche per gli adulti. Struttura funzionale per persone con eventuali disabilità, grazie anche all’assistenza continua dei bagnini, sempre disponibili e attenti. Camera standard prenotata tramite expedia, comoda con balcone lato strada, ma bagno molto piccolo con doccia solo per persone “molto magre” e assenza di supporti per detergenti (ci si deve organizzare!). Nonostante un bel lungomare e la spiaggia molto ampia, la zona non offre attività di intrattenimento. Per tale motivo, un plauso speciale va allo Staff dell’animazione presente in Hotel, Federica, Francesca, Michele e Mario, che con gentilezza e simpatia riescono a coinvolgere tutti nelle loro attività, balli, giochi e sketch divertenti, rendendo piacevole la permanenza in hotel.

Un paradiso al mare

Personale molto gentile e disponibile. Ristorante ottimo con vista mare. Spaggia molto larga. Stanza pulitissima. Direttamente sul mare ma anche con piscina accogliente. Unica cosa non ottimale è stata la colazione un po' povera ma penso che migliorerà quando sarà possibile farla come buffet

Ottima struttura

La struttura è direttamente sul mare, sulla spiaggia di sabbia e piccoli sassi. La spiaggia è ampia, la struttura offre piscina, vasca idromassaggio e uso delle canoe gratuite. Ottima soluzione per visitare Tindari (santuario e i laghi di Marianello) e per le escursioni alle isole Eolie (Vulcano, Stromboli, Lipari). La camera ampia, dotata di vista mare e balconcino con sedie e tavolino. Ottima la pulizia. Possibilità di fare pranzo e cena a prezzo fisso.

Discreto albergo a due passi dal nare

Grazioso hotel, tv in camera antiquate e poco funzionali specialmente per ospiti anziani. Nella nostra camera mancavano i teli doccia e la pulizia del bagno poteva essere migliore. Colazione appena sufficiente nella varietà disponibile. Se il soggiorno è in offerta promozionale è ok, diversamente a quei prezzi in zona c'e' anche altro.
