We booked the holiday as a short break, with an on-site Holiday firm, assuming they would book us into a suitable resort.
The Hotel, it turned-out was occupied by 99.9% Italian holiday makers. We were the only foreign nationals, and the staff were struggling to understand English
During the week it is reasonably quiet, however Saturday to Monday it is used as a long weekend break Hotel, for the local islanders, and is jam packed solid.
As there is only one outside pool it becomes totally claustrophobic, and the beach can only be easily reached by bus.
The nearest town and shopping area is Sciacca which is some 6 kilometres away, and only easily accessible if you have your own transport.
Sciacca is very much an industrial town with a large Harbour, and therefore do not expect to find any localized decent beaches.
There are some beautiful beaches within the area, but they are hard to find and you will need your own transport.
The hotel complex has obviously been refurbished, internally, very recently and the rooms were airy and comfortable. However the exterior is to say the least "very tired looking".
Disappointed is the least I can say for the Hotel and the local area. However I have no doubt that I will return to Sicily at some stage I find an Island worthwhile stay at.
