If you want a quiet holiday, this is not for you! Lots of large groups of holiday makers, loud music at both sides of the site. No options for eating unless you opt for full board (only one bar snack available, toasted sandwich) and limited bar options (the bar near reception closes at 5pm). But staff are helpful and welcoming, and premises kept very clean.

It is an okay hotel, definitely not 4 star as claimed. The room we were given was fairly basic, the furniture were old and out-dated, and needs upgrading. There was no kettle or any facility to have tea/coffee in the room. Beds were really hard and creaking, but we had two double beds in our room instead of one double bed, maybe suitable for family. Bathroom was okay, the cistern was constantly leaking, and the shower head had probably been there for ages, as we can see black discoloration, which could be harbouring Legionella, and can cause serious infection. Rooms were cleaned every day, fresh towels supplied. The pools were dirty and over crowded. Beach towels costs 2.50 Euro. One of my main complaints is that the drinking water supply was very limited, particularly in that hot weather it is important to drink plenty to avoid dehydration. Water was only available in the dinning area, with restricted access. The staff did not allow to fill up the water bottle. What a shame! Water is a basic human need and the hotel does not seem to care. Food was good, but became a bit repetitive, which is expected. Local white and red wines were for free, they were okay. The best part was the private beach, which was well staffed and the water was clean. We had a designated sun lounger so there was no hassle. The nearest train station was only 10 mins walk, and have easy train access to Palermo central. We used a taxi service of the hotel's contact, which was really expensive.

Food was not good
We stayed here for one night. It’s a very large resort hotel so we didn’t do much since we were passing though in between other destinations and plans. The pool was basic and the large one was closed for some reason when I tried to take my kids. I did not go to the beach which looked nice. The biggest bummer was their buffet dinner (30 euro per adult). It was not good at all. Food did not seem fresh and reminded me of cafeteria food. The rooms were clean and comfortable though. Very loud at night with music.

Uncomfortable Budget Hotel Claiming 4 Stars
My gripe with this hotel is that it has a lot of potential to be a nice resort—as it’s facing one of the nicest beaches I’ve ever been to—but it lies about being a 4 star hotel. 4-star hotels, at a minimum, typically have room service, vending machines for after-hours food, and if not, some other form of late night food option. Saracen Sands Hotels offers NO OPTIONS for food after 10pm, so if you get there late and you don’t bring groceries or food with you, you will have a tough time eating. Another pet peeve of mine is that the hotel is stingy with how cold they let your room get. It can’t be colder than 22 degrees Celsius. Most hotels allow up to 18. We were sweating for part of the night and the staff refused to override the code and bring down the temperature. I would’ve gladly paid more money for a cooler room. Long story short, when you arrive at the hotel, it looks nice. Sort of like a Hilton. But then you realize almost everything is self-serve (you even need to go to the hotel front-desk to get pool towels because they don’t have them available at the pools or beach), the rooms are uncomfortable and let lots of noise through, and it’s hard to find food after 10pm.

Everything was great, up until we needed a taxi to the train station. The desk lady just kind of pointed the right outside and said you can catch a taxi over there. But the night before, the other lady at the desk said it would be no problem to call you a taxi. So there you go. Then the taxi guy I got us to the train station gouged us around $40.00

Booked three nights stayed one- terrible hotel
Firstly the good - decent sized room for four Now the bad - absolutely everything else April is out of season so the area is dead… there’s no water in the pool, you can’t use the beach access. The hotel is a conference hotel and in no way family friendly. It was really noisy all evening and then we were woken by weights smashing around in the gym next door. I got up and went for a run asking the gentleman to ease up as my kids were trying to sleep, came back from a run and tried to use the gym which was locked with the same guy in. Asked at reception and the rude night guy said it doesn’t open until 8am… this was pretty funny as we both looked over and saw a bloke using it! Luckily the day guy took potty when I asked to reduce my stay to one night. My partner said she rates it the worst hotel she had ever stayed in… I mean I would go that far but I wouldn’t stay again. Went to Palermo and had a better experience
