The hotel boasts an excellent beachfront location with easy access to the beach and beautiful views. The rooms are equipped with a single bed and have a nice bathroom, but the stained carpets and industrial air-conditioning are noticeable drawbacks. The service is attentive, and the Sicilian pastries in the dining area are a delightful treat. Overall, the facilities are satisfactory, but some improvements could be made. The value for money is decent considering the prime beachfront location.
