The resort is not bad as such, but it is not well maintained. Some part of the facilities are either destroyed or on its way to be destroyed.
A lot of insects, basically it is very difficult to enjoy the beautiful garden of the hotel in the evening, because of insects.
Despite the fact that the service by waiters and waitresses is really good, the way they handle the bills is very inappropriate. After every meal they offer you a scribbled bill to sign it, but there is nothing to indicate how much they are charging you for that. So there is no way to verify if you are paying the exact amount of your expenses when you check out.
- Portions are really small and overpriced.
- TV set in the room was really small, about 17". Practically useless.
We are very disappointed with the possibilities to arrive at the destination.
There were a number of issues which made our life quite difficult.
1. Location
The hotel is no located t in Licata, it's about 10 km from Licata. The public transport is really bad organised, and it is extremely difficult to find someone in that town who can speak English. Nobody we talked to, could understand even numbers in English.
2. Arrangement of transfer by hotel
We tried to call the hotel in order to arrange the transfer from Licata town to the hotel, and the staff tried to take advantage of the situation and told us that they can arrange a transfer with a private car, but for a 10 minutes drive they charge 60 Euros, which is ridiculously expensive.
3. After we arranged with the hotel staff the transfer to Licata where we could get the bus to the Catania Airport for 55 Euro, when we went to pay for it, the management of the hotel informed us 'kindly' that apparently the driver has a different night-fare which amounts to 80 Euro, and surprisingly enough the night fare applies (in this part of the world) from 00:00 to 08:00! And of course we had now choice so we had to pay that ridiculously high price.
