Our first experience with a Kempinski in Sicily was so delightful that we booked this with the idea of relaxing and being pamepered for a day on our six week tour of Spain. The property is beautiful. Breakfast is fantastic. But we were extremely disappointed in our two dinners. The dining room looks like a converted meeting room with absolutely... More

We stayed here as a family at the beginning of may. We have a 4 year old son so were particularly interested in things for him to do! Firstly, Cameron says a big hello to Max in the kids club, he misses you! The kids club was brilliant, as the hotel was quite quiet the ratio of employees to kids... More

This is a beautiful spacious hotel. The pool area is huge but with lots of different areas so you don't feel like you are all in a line. And beautiful beach area. The room was just their standard one but was large, lovely bathroom and great quality finish with a small terrace with a side sea view. The buffet breakfast... More

When booking a room, and at check in, insist on seaside, as just a few meters behind the hotel the highway A7 will spoil your holiday. The garden and pool area though are nice and suitable for families. - You should take a rent a car!

Dear Guest, Thank you very much for your positive review on your recent stay at our Resort.

Extremely poor value for money. €400/night for a junior suite which overlooked the road so was noisy, it only got morning sun and you had to crane to see the sea. Unhelpful staff, all apologies and no action nor remedy. Last time for me in a Kempinski Hotel

Dear Guest, In reference to your comment, I regret that you did not enjoy your stay at your Deluxe Junior Suite. The Sea was just streight ahead of you, when looking over the large terrace towards the Sea, but it always depends on the angle you want to see things! All these types of Junior Suites, like you have booked,... More
