It is one of the view 5 star hotels in Sicilia - this is reflected in the prices but not really in service and quality. Breakfast very poor. Nevertheless the location of the hotel and the layout of the rooms (2-4 rooms make one bungalow) as well as the different private beaches makes it worth spending a little bit more... More

(English below) Das Grand Hotel Minareto war in diesem Jahr der Gastgeber unserer alljährlichen, einwöchigen Firmenschulung.

This hotel hasn't any charm and is not luxurious, while they classified themselves as a 5 stars. I consider it only has a 3 stars!

My room was spacious (deluxe sea view) with a beautiful bathroom, bathrobes... More

First of all: we booked the hotel with an very low price due to off-season so what we received was more the value it costed. However during the high season the price must be higher. As onyl some view person stayed there in Nov, the breakfest was quite moderate, however the staff was very friendly. The swimming pool was closed.... More

We had booked the hotel as the first stop of our 9-day stay in Sicily and ended up staying the whole 9 days. The views were amazing and the hotel room was clean and well-equipped, with expensive materials used in both the bathroom (marble) and the bedroom. The curtains were as they should be and blocked out daylight completely. Just... More
