I have just come back from a lovely week in Sicily at the Costa verde hotel. I initially was quite worried when I started reading through the reviews on here and can only conclude that if you do not do your research when you book a holiday anywhere you will only be disappointed. I had a wonderful time and would... More

Hi I just want to back up some of the previoyus reviews. This is not a 4 star hotel, more somewhere between 2 and 3. You need to be able to speak Italian/French. All activities for adults and children is based on this. The buffet food is OK, but not anything close to the Italian food experience you want to... More

Some of the previous reviews had valid points. It is a bit out of the way, no nipping to the village. We could not fault the food, a good choice of menu and plenty of it. Large clean rooms, linen changed daily. The entertainment committee looked about 17 and had little idea of what people over 17 wanted, their main... More

This is a hotel to be avoided at all costs unless you have hired a car, will tolerate two star standards (no matter what the place is billed as) and do not have expectations of the sumptuous Sicilian food described in the guide books. This hotel is in a totally isolated location some kilometres from the resort of Cefalu. A... More

I have to echo many of the sentiments mentioned by the other English speaking reviewers. We had this hotel on an allocated on arrival deal and it was not mentioned in our tour operator's brouchure. The hotel was clean and the room of an OK standard with a reasonably good sea view however very few of the staff spoken any... More

We took a family tip during the october half term. The hotel itself is a 2 hour transfer from the airport and a 15 minute transfer from the nearest town Cefalu. It has a courtesy bus to the beach which is really nice. The hotel is huge with vast open areas. The evening activity centered around the bar with nightly... More

I am 1/2 Italian 1/2 English so I have no gripe with the Italians and have no problem with foreign food and as you would probably guess from my roots some Italian food is probably my favourite. All the above said I have to tell you that if you are planning going to Italy or Sicily then whatever you do... More

We stayed at this hotel following a late booking on the internet. The hotel is advertised as a 4 star, but this is a vast overstatement of the actual facilities, 3 star at best. The reception desk was friendly and efficient and spoke good English. Our room are quite roomy and, while being quite comfortable, was looking past it's best.... More

Rather like a previous correspondant, we were also apprehensive about this holiday having read other reviewers' comments. Am more than happy to say though that we were very pleasantly surprised. The hotel was very clean and the staff were all very friendly. We had our room cleaned & bedding etc. changed every day but agree the shower cubicle wasn't the... More
