Arathena Rocks Hotel

Very nice hotel. Receptionist was the nicest person, thank you! Lava rocks were instead of regular beach, but impressive. Old building with antiques around, vintage furniture and so on. Breakfast was excellent, everything you need, blood orange fresh juice was mouth watering, eggs, salami, cheese and of course sweet Italian pastries. Quite place with stunning views!

Warm and welcoming hotel, superbly positioned on the rocks overlooking the sea. Interesting antique furniture throughout made this hotel rather special. Plenty of seating areas.

Maybe the lighting along the road could be a bit better, but of course this is not the responsibility of the hotel itself.

OSF Excellent. There being no service lift, there might be a place for set times for service use as lift unusable on several occasions. Not so minor when guest approaching 80!

Our view was amazing

May be a little dated

The view from my room was amazing, the lady at the reception was amazing and so welcoming, I had issue with my card ( Amex wasn’t accepted) and she went beyond and above to fix the issue and overall made me feel so comfortable. I hope she seems this comment ❤️ Also, the tall gentleman that works behind the bar was so nice and cheerful and even explained to me what few words meant in Italian 😅

Fabulous location, tastefully updated, wonderful staff

Nothing

Not much!

The room smelt. The pool was very salty and general facilities were average.

Nice atmosohere

This hotel is full of character with a charming outlook to the sea. It is quiet and next to the archeological gardens. The furniture and furnishings are traditional, artistic and very sicilian. The pool is salt water and always clean. The breakfast room is open with a view towards the sea. The evening dinner is varied with just enough choice and well presented. The staff are friendly and you can access the sea from the hotel with good snorkelling.
