The trip around Siciliy for my 40th birthday was going well, and we had arranged a couple of nights here to see the beach. We were verylucky with the weather too.
The hotel was the only thing open for 5 miles in any direction which suited us fine as we wanted some peace, there was only one other couple staying and they left the next morning after we arrived.
The hotel owners were very nice and spoke english and were able to give us a guide as to where we might find restaurants open in the evenings (the hotel only did breakfast off season)
We drove into Licata and found supermarkets and couple of fast food places, not any restaurants though but we werent that bothered. We stocked up food in the room and went down onto the huge sand beach. I imagine summer would be crazy packed but off season, not a soul. we walked along as far as you can and seen no-one, theres alot of beach changing huts ready for the summer and a few holiday homes but thats it.
in the evening we chatted with the night watchman and then he locked the hotel and we we left to ourselves, very weird to have whole place to ourselves. they said they dont close at all as it gets busier again from chrostmas we must have been in the slack week. The rooms are large and very clean. I would reccomend this to anyone just check to see how busy it gets at peak times first unless you like crowds.
