"Upgraded to one of the renovated rooms, very spacious and tastefully decorated.
The property itself was absolutely stunning, very "white lotus esq"
Great pool!!
Outdoor restaurant, and outdoor cocktail bar 👌👌"
"It is unusual for me to stay somewhere and say I would never recommend and this is one of those unusual cases. Firstly, we had issues on the second day to access our room and it turned out the door handle locking system had run out of battery so our key cards didn't work. It was a lot of faff to get this sorted and we were told until its fixed to leave our room door open - I was appalled by this suggestion of lack of security. There was no ironing board or iron so I was not able to iron my floaty dresses etc. The wifi did not work in the room so I had to use an e-sim while in the room, but the wifi did work round the pool. The hairdryer in the room was such poor quality and is comparable to ones I have used in two star hotels. The bedding sheets are only changed every three days and they never even informed us of this at check-in. I only found out about this 3 day rule when I enquired why our room wasn't serviced fully. We also had lots of ants in our room even though we were on the 4th floor. When I did raise this issue it was swiftly resolved but I would not expect to find this. Overall I would not consider this a four star hotel experience, 3 star would be pushing it too."
"Breakfast had an interesting variety, I LOVED the fresh squeezed blood orange juice!
Melania at the front desk was charming & very professional.
She took excellent care of my out of the ordinary international travel timing needs.
The opera fest in Bellini Park added the charm of live operatic soprano rehearsals in the mornings"
"To be fair, I only stayed at The Palace Catania for one night, but the experience was a bit disappointing for the price. At $300 per night, the hotel feels quite dated and the rooms are badly in need of a renovation. On the positive side, the location is excellent, the rooftop views are lovely, and the front desk staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. We did experience a major service lag at the rooftop bar, waiting over 20 minutes for a glass of prosecco, though the waiter was very apologetic and kindly comped our friends' two glasses of wine. Overall, it’s a well-located hotel with great customer service, but it definitely needs some TLC to justify the premium cost."
"The pool was nice and it was convenient to have parking available. Staff were friendly and professional. The room was clean and spacious. Located a couple of kilometres out of the centre of the city."
"Keswan and the team here were not helpful at all in my booking.
Highly recommend avoiding the headache of staying here. Refused to help me in altering my booking at all, even though I contacted them 5 minutes after making my booking (which was two weeks out...)
Very unprofessional resort. Will not be coming back.
Disappointing."
