Reviews for Santa Tecla Palace

Review 1：Nothing bad to say about the hotel. But you do need a car to get there and to visit other parts of Sicily as it is quite isolated. No access to the sea but the pool is fantastic.

Review 2：Quiet location away from the main tourist areas. Fab infinity pool filled from the sea. Balcony overlooking the sea. Beautiful breakfast selection.

Review 3：Only the tiny TV could do with updating but with those views it wasn't a big deal.

Review 4：The hotel was beautiful with very nice staff and we had a lovely room with a fabulous view of the sea.

Review 5：An idealyicd setting for outdoor restaurant but service did not match the setting.

Review 6：For us it was perfectly located, being able to swim in the Med and a great hotel pool. We had a hire car so access was OK. The hotel was well set up and met our 4 star expectation.

Review 7：Inconsistent wi fi in room and very small tv

Review 8：Peace and tranquil location albeit slightly inaccessible unless you had a car Brilliant staff service Great sea facing room No traffic noise Brilliant sea water infinity pool Lovely large areas to relax both outdoor and inside

Review 9：Breakfast buffet should have fresh fruit instead of canned fruit, better selection of bread products, better tomatoes (ripe ones and not roma variety which is mainly for processing products), and better cheese selection. Great service at front desk but restaurant staff appear to be less than enthusiastic.

Review 10：Great room, beautiful garden and view of sea.

Review 11：Lack of information on the hotel - no literature to detail what the hotel offered. We stayed in older hotel room (ie cheaper) which wasn't 4* . WiFi coverage in the older part of the hotel was terrible but gradually improved as you enter the refurbished part of the hotel. In reception WiFi was still not great.

Review 12：Salt water Infinity pool. Sun terrace overlooking the sea.

Review 13：There is no gym, although the hotel has plenty of space for it.

Review 14：We had excellent holidays at the Santa Tecla Palace. My family stayed there for 4 nights, then we left to Agrigento for the weekend and we came back for another fantastic week. The beautiful infinity pool, the easy access to the see and the modern bedrooms make the hotel a great place to relax. The buffet breakfast offers variety and the two restaurants have great food. Moreover the personnel is very friendly. We will come back one day!

Review 15：I would not recommend this hotel foodwise. Thought breakfast was a let down - 4 star rating and you had to make your own coffee unless requested it specifically from waiter. Dinner was a disappointment- food was poor.

Review 16：I would recommend this hotel on its location- it's proximity to the sea - great sun loungers down by sea and nice outdoor pool/ lounging around area.

Review 17：Excellent location with great value for money. Nice pool and colorful family friendly hotel.

Review 18：The bathroom was not very clean and also sea view from our room on first floor was limited and not very nice (roofs)

Review 19：Swimming pool with sea water

Review 20：Wifi is the worst I've ever experienced and breakfast is very very limited

Review 21：Pool and outside area

Review 22：Poor breakfast for 4 stars, poor wifi signal

Review 23：Infinity Pool, room with sea view, quiet zone

Review 24：Staff were not friendly. There was no wifi in the room- only from one spot in reception. The hotel is away from any village so you don't experience the real Italy.

Review 25：Nice pool and modern comfortable room.

Review 26：Breakfast was a bit under par - no fresh fruit which is abundant in Italy. They could improve on this.

Review 27：Loved the sea swimming area, the pool, the terraces, the view, the food the staff. A 4 star hotel worthy of its rank.

Review 28：I have stayed at Santa Tecla Palace hotel many times in a superior room, The TV is soo small, 12" old style and the bathroom had a very bad smell of urine, in fact the toilet had a black water line, tissue dispensor always empty as well as the soap dispensor. Wi Fi did not reach our room either. Other than that breakfast was Ok, pool lovely.

Review 29：Small tv and very average room design, animation at the pool

Review 30：It's a perfect location with awesome seawater swimming pool, stunning views, good service, spacious and relaxing.

Review 31：Somehow distant atmosphere. Restaurants were open really limited hours. Rocky and deep seashore, not suitable for kids

Review 32：Nice pool. Cozy rooms. Good breakfast

Review 33：Ongoing program at the pool with DJ and sports activities. As the rooms are right above the pool, you can hear the music like in an amphitheatre.

Review 34：Loved our room and the view over the sea. Restaurant was excellent. Pool is beautiful.

Review 35：The breakfast is a bit lack luster

Review 36：This hotel I can honestly say was one of the best I have ever stayed. The hotel staff are all extremely nice and helpful! But the highlight of the hotel of course is the location. The infinity pool is gorgeous and there are steps directly from the hotel into the sea. The patio for sun bathing is massive and there are many sea view rooms to chose from. There is a fun live band that plays at the hotel on the weekends that we enjoyed a lot. This is a dream hotel and for the price I plan to come back many times over.

Review 37：Standard rooms are old (but large) and have no view. Prices at the bar were ridiculous high. No breakfast included in the price. A bit too posh for my taste. Could have been situated in any other country - no Italian feel to it.

Review 38：The infinity salt water pool:-)

Review 39：No wi fi in the room

Review 40：The food in la randa resturant was great and nice sea views

Review 41：Staff is excellent very clean hotel good location. Iam Very satisfied

Review 42：Facade needs some repainting. No sand beach.

Review 43：Good standard. Rooms clean and good layout.
