Hotels near Sant'Elia Beach

"This was a great location and the property is well-managed"

"Great breakfast buffet"

"Family run and very friendly and helpful with check in and storing luggage after check out. The room was very clean and breakfast was also delicious! Only complaint is that the shower didn't drain properly and the hot water was a bit intermittent, but this is a minor issue. Lovely property and would definitely stay here again! Highly recommend"

"Be under no dellusions, at very best a 2-star hotel. Currently undergoing major renovation with severe disruption & noise. Some rooms renovated, many ongoing & others in bad repair, decades out of date. Initially given a South facing refurbished room, but no air condtioning. Apparently council prevent its use until May/June (but not outlined in hotel adverts). Room was an absolute oven day & night, plus unbearable construction & traffic noise with windows open & imposible to sleep. Complained about this & medical issues over next 2-days. No result until I then threw a tantrum at lobby. Manager wouldn't admit to being manager & ran off. Eventually 30mins later a part time staff member issued a North facing older room in poor repair. Much cooler, but no electrics. Complained, but elecs not repaired until following day at 1130pm, post further complaints. Problem was shorted out hairdryer & trip switches, all needing replaced. Bathroom also in bad repair (extractor not working & toliet seat loose & broken). Electric kept going off at times & needed electricians to attend/reset. Room cooler, but very poor decor. Self serve breakfast on 14th floor very basic & guests chased away at 10am, because they want to clear/clean room by 10am (despite breakfast being 7-10am). Noise & disruption of many student parties also totally unbearable, staff unhelpful, rooms/facilities a disaster, pool was closed & food poor. The worst hotel I have ever stayed in. Totally avoid this torturious hotel!"

"The only drawback is that it is far from the main town centre and there are no shops around to buy snack or food items"

"The resort was lovely, Ccean and th staff was hospitable. My only critisam was the pool was not avaiable as it was under renovation."

"Spectacular. Exquisite. Not enough positive things I could say about our stay here. The accommodation is lovely, staff are incredibly helpful and friendly, grounds with 2km of orchard hiking are just gorgeous... And the restaurant is superb. If you visit Sicily, this is where you must go. Thank you Villa Cefala!"

"Cleaning service was excellent. Parking was also good, but it was off season so there weren’t too many guests. The ambience around the pool was stellar with comfortable canopies beds and places to enjoy the sun. Breakfast was provided by the neighboring restaurant, and the woman who made omelettes could not have been more un-friendly! In fact, “omelette lady” has now become code between my husband and me for a person who is not nice. Our bed was too bouncy, but the room was spacious. We had a flood from the shower into the bedroom, and the staff told us not to worry about it and that it was “normal.” That struck us as strange, but we figured it was an Italian thing."

"The room was clean and the staff were friendly. The buildings are quite old, and the location is far from other facilities. It feels more like a small family resort, with not much to do if you’re a younger traveler looking for activities"
