Does what it says on the tin!
It is what it says it is - a conference hotel. We stayed there one night because it is convenient (10 min drive) to Palermo airport but it was completely rammed with conference goers. The hotel reception and service staff simply could not cope with the volume. Bedroom was an odd layout and very plasticky but it was clean and the bed was comfortable. Located next to a nice looking beach but we felt this was more a transitory stop than a longer term destination. Couple of nice restaurants nearby.

The prop was not well maintained. Inside it was clean but not welcoming. The gardens and exterior of the building was run down. Bars and dining was limited. Staff in the pizzeria was very friendly and the pizza was good. Unfortunately the atmosphere at the hotel was cold. Nice beach, don’t try to be there at sunset, you get locked out.

This is a nice hotel, with very attentive staff, and big rooms. The beach is beautiful and the mountains in the backdrop are stunning. Outstanding sunsets. Close to airport and Palermo. Food is buffet and so hard to get excited about.

The property is lovely, but the food is horrible, our room air condition didn't work well, and we notified the front desk, but nothing was done. Our room smelled like something died in the vents also complained and nothing was done. Great only for families, not couples. wasn't able to sleep due to all the kids running wild without supervision. I would not recommend to anyone.

Not a 4 star hotel
The room I was staying in was renovated and comfortable but its what I would expect from a 3 star. The common areas were run down and the restaurant isn't even open all day (I'm during the actual day not night). Staff were amazing though.
