Marina Palace Hotel & Congress Hall

Nice hotel, very close to the beach. Staff is OK, but not everyone is nice. Rooms have balconies, TV and refrigerator. I was in a triple room. Third bed was small and less comfortable. They have some interconnecting rooms. Not all rooms have WiFi. The AC can only be controlled through the reception. Hotel is in need of some restoration. There is construction work in the area at the moment, which might disturb a longer sleep. The restaurant belonging to the hotel is nice, but the food at lunch is very slow. Probably understaffed. Breakfast is sufficient, and until 10am. A bus stop to Catania, is very close to the hotel (once every hour). There are shops and mini markets close by. There is a Gym and Spa at the hotel.

We stayed one night at the Marina Palace and had a good stay. Rooms were clean and tidy, reception staff spoke great English and were very helpful to our group and the food and drink were very good. Can definitely recommend for a business trip.

We invited some friends and each enjoyed a wonderful promotional package for 2. My husband & I were thrilled to have a vigorous workout in the well equipped gym. The Wet Zone, included walking through hydro jets with various temperatures of water, this helps with circulation. The sauna and Turkish bath surely helped detox. Power jet showers were rather stimulating. Jacuzzi tub for two and finally a Relaxation area to enjoy various herbal teas and offerings of seasonal fruits. What a delightful afternoon. Thanks to the Manager Lucia and the expert massage from Alesia. A feather in your cap ladies. Very professional staff. Will return soon. Marah and Norbert Toronto, Canada

Touring around Sicily sounded an interesting idea and both my husband and I were looking forward to seeing the ancient sites and experiencing some great Italian food. Sites are a plenty, unfortunately on this tour the food was lacking big time. "Four star" hotel. Sorry it is not in this bracket at all. We spent three nights here, rooms big and had a large balcony but not set up with any seats. Cleaning could have been better in our bathroom as toilet pan was not that clean. Dead flies not removed from behind curtains (net ones) in the restaurant. Pasta on all three evenings very poor, one night fish which was nice but why serve tepid boiled potatoes ruined what could have been one of the better meals. Breakfast was a bit of a shambles, needed to be down stairs early to have a chance of getting boiled eggs, meat (poor quality), and cheese We were on a tour and two or three tours were also staying the same time. The hotel has 57 rooms. Could not recommend this hotel to anyone.

Pass this one by. Nice sleepy fishing village, but hotel is ghastly looking. Unfortunately it does not improve on the inside. Rooms are very basic, MFI/IKEA type furniture, very dark. The food is terrible. Average pasta starter, but the main course consisted of a chicken schnitzel, with two slices of aubergine and a single piece of fruit for dessert. The second night was no better. Breakfast was typical Italian continental style, which was adequate. I think someone was having a joke when they categorised this a 4*. I think it would struggle to make a 2*. Have to say the safe was free as was the wifi, which you could access throughout the hotel.

Tranquillo e senza problemi.

Nice hotel, nice staff, and nicely located. I would like to improve breakfast. Airport shuttle service is very convenient but it consists of a taxi 50 EUR not negotiable which is too expensive for a distance of 15.5 km!

Hotel is nicely located, easy to reach but needs a renovation. Garage is double expensive as written on an outside placed advert (at the entrance of the garage). Beginning September were only a few guests using that hotel that breakfast room was not opened and you had to order your breakfast evening before to get it delivered to your room. Staff at reception were extremely friendly and helpful.

camera grande e spaziosa, ma non trovo altre note positive, ho camminato 30 secondi a piedi nudi e mi sono trovata i piedi neri, le condizioni del bagno non sono per nulla adatti a un 4 stelle e nelle piastrelle accanto alla vasca da bagno c'erano i segni lasciati dal sapone come se non fossero pulite da anni, il climatizzatore era gestito dall'hotel nel senso che per alzare o abbassare la temperatura bisognava telefonare, ma cio' che mi ha lasciata davvero senza parole e' stato il fatto che siano entrati in camera pur sapendo che eravamo lì, una ragazza dell'hotel ha aperto la porta con una seconda chiave mentre ero nella vasca con la porta del bagno aperta perche ovviamente mai avrei pensato che potesse entrare qualcuno, e non si sono neanche scusati per l'accaduto. tutto questo da un 4 stelle e' inaccettabile. per concludere ho pagato 68 euro e mi hanno rilasciato una fattura di 52,00.
