The grounds and plants are quite pretty and interesting. The beach is massive without weeds or debris. Our room was TINY! Barely big enough for a queen bed. Scuff marks lined the wall. The front desk staff was helpful though.

Offer on sites like Expedia GROSSLY MISLEADING. Behind tatty beach chalets, it's an old campsite patronised mainly by 99% poor Italians (pay less than conned foreigners like us. MUST BE CLOSED DOWN OR REFURBISHED. Advised by one worker: is now just a cash cow for small rich family owners who bully their staff and pay off another family. DISGUSTING for many reasons. A FEW EXAMPLES: * No room service *NO fan or aircon/ sleep difficult * blood, faeces, semen stained bedding, pillows,toilet area *Rotten door frames with splinters * Insects IN/under bed * Split ineffective mosquito window screens. *Food terrible despite amusing waters *Weird chef describes her stinking rotten Pork balls and old fish as 'amazing', *Pasta not cooked properly (two minutes-very hard/dry in middle. Several meals rejected *Slatted wood walkway to beach very dangerous/screws sticking up to cut feet, *Overhanging asbestos roof cuts heads *Wine terrible. * Reception staff forced by owners to defend place or be sacked *Filth on beach includes dead stinking poison jellyfish, split plastic bottles, tens of thousands of cigarette butts, used tampons and condoms * Private beach NOT PRIVATE/public wander on/give lifeguards takes backhanders *Tiny swimming pool in very dangerous/excessive bleach and cleaning agents used. Many broken tiles and green algae around edge * Feral cats scratch if approached. MUST BE CLOSED DOWN. DO NOT GO. OTHER NON ITALIANS WE SPOKE TO AGREE WITH ALL SAID HERE. THE PLACE IS A CON

Beautiful beach, but that is that...
I'm going to divide this review into three parts; Location, staff and finally the room it self. Finally I'll give a grade from 1 to 10. Location is a little out side of Catania, and literally a stone throw from the Beach. Bus tickets can be bought at the reception, and the bus ride is, depending on traffic, ranging from 10-40 minutes, and can be quite packed during peak hours.The beach is beautiful but packed with locals during the weekends, so take this under consideration if your one that likes a more quiet and spacious beach. The Staff is incredibly helpful and smiling, so they get a big + from me, for supplying good and comforting service. Not everyone speaks English very well, but they will do their best to help. The bar/restaurant is staffed from early morning till 11, and the staff there is also very helpful, though the food isn't very good and overpriced. Don't come for the food, the breakfast is mediocre at best, and quite small, coffee based beverage, croissant and some toast. The rooms themselves are in quite terrible condition and at a bare minimum. I wouldn't recommend staying for longer than a few days. This is NOT a hotel, so they wont clean the room on a daily basis, so keep this in mind. The bathrooms were also a quite horrendous, with limescale and a clogged drain. Location: Beautiful. Staff: Super friendly. Room: Quite poor. This oxymoron of an experience is hard to judge, but for shorter stays, it is perfect, but longer stays, are not. 4/10
