Returned on 9 October 2011. We were apprehensive about staying at this hotel after reading some of the reviews, but were pleasantly surprised and at times wondered whether we were in the same hotel as other reviewers. The lift is not for the faint hearted, particularly if you dont like heights, but then why would you stay in this hotel... More

If you are looking for a large hotel where you can eat ,drink and stay around the pool this is the place for you. The hotel is huge and quite confusing to get around to begin with because it is on many different levels.The rooms are clean but a bit tired and the sheets on the bed had some rips... More

The room and hotel set-up is very good, quite a distance to walk from the Olimpo to the beach, from Reception level there is a funicular down to the adjoining Antarese, walk to the other end of this hotel then a lift down to 'ground' level, then about another 300 yards to the beach. Breakfast is the best meal of... More

You know there is going to be a problem when your first night at a hotel in Sicily is Pizza and Pasta night and pizza is two inches thick! Essentially this hotel is a stop off for Saga coach trips (and similar), each night we were there we counted at least 10 coaches in the car park. Is this a... More

Just returned from 2 weeks at the olimpo with my wife. This is our 4th visit to this hotel in the last 10 years although this was the first time for 4 years and things have definitely changed in this time. The Good - Hotel is still clean and well maintained. The air conditioning is good and generally the staff... More

We loved the individuality of this and found them no trouble at all. We had a lovely room, very spacious and a beautiful view from the balcony, which stayed cool all the time. We were... More

The dinner was ok, the hotel was clean, and the waiters and the housekeeping staff were friendly and effective. The Front Office staff was not friendly nor helpful at all. The breakfast was not at all on the level of the dinner (eggs cold, you had to look for cups and cutlery,..) The hotel elevator is not effective and in... More

A relaxing holiday with plenty to do in this good hotel. Saga rep excellent, as were talks and included visits. Having read reviews on this site,we were needlessly anxious regarding our booking prior to visit. However, we found access good, there is a road at rear of hotel for coach arrivals/tours etc, and funicula for guests to village and local... More

This hotel is in a bad location. Access is bad and via a tunnel and then a long lift, one of which rarely operates. Then on to venicular railway. The food is cold and the staff are miserable. Entertainment non existent with too many weddings. 35 this September!! More
