Amazing property , with spacious rooms and outdoor spaces . Nice garden. Unfortunately all the property shows signs of problems with maintenance for example cracks on the walls of the rooms, window frames not working properly, shower had some problems with leaking. Light switches very confusing . Breakfast was not adequate for a 4 star hotel: poor quality ingredients. Signs to find rooms in the hotel not sufficient. Check in officer not very welcoming and ready to satisfy the requests. Good quality dining however very expensive.

When staying at the Grand Hotel Baia Verde, we were very disappointed. Upon arrival I asked reception if they had water in the room in which they retorted they don’t do that here. I asked where I could buy water and the lady at reception told me there was a shop up the road. (Very little detail). The sheets were not always changed in our room and there were many building works going on during our stay along with power cuts whilst being in the shower. This was not communicated in advance and made for an exceptionally unpleasant experience. In addition to this we requested a double room in which we had two single beds joined together and this was not communicated in advance. The breakfast was exceptionally basic with poor coffee, and a small selection of hams and pastries not at all worth paying for. The only positive was the exceptionally lovely bar staff who recommended a few lovely restaurants in the area. Overall very disappointing, will not be visiting again

Location is beautiful on the sea, nice big saltwater swimming pool, hotel is a little dated, scuba diving on premises is convenient, food options at pool bar need improvement, breakfast seating area outdoors is beautiful but food options need improvement, definitely red more coffee machines to accommodate large crowds from tour groups.

The shutters in our room would not open. This made the room very dark with almost no natural light coming in. We were only there one night or I would have requested a different room. We dined in the restaurant and found the service to be very slow and lacking attention to our basic needs.

This hotel, its staff, the pool, the sea pool, the food and the ambience exceeded our expectations! We had a five-day trip planned to Eastern Sicily, and we could not have picked a better place to lay our heads. The whole experience was exceptional and to be repeated time and again! Do not miss dinner at the lovely Oleander restaurant or the fantastic sea pool. The staff in all parts of the hotel are lovely, helpful and very cheerful!!

Visiting from U.S. Hotel was nice. Pool had plenty of chairs and complimentary towels. Pool closed at dinner time so you can't go in the evening. You can swim in the Sea easily and there is a lifeguard. Breakfast choices were plentiful. Only drawback was the bus system is erratic. They don't come often and don't stick to the schedule. The Trenitalia train was very punctual and a 12 minute walk away. Taxi back to airport cost 35 Euros.

Amazing stay at Baia Verde. The staff is extremely professional and provides valuable attention to the customer’s confort. The lady at the desk was very kind and efficient, as well as the pool staff and bartenders (who make very nice cocktails). The venue is amazing with a very clean pool next to a private sea access. Will definitely come back, Grazie Mille for the welcome!

Thank you hotels.com Another excellent hotel. Rooms large and clean, serviced every day. Breakfast lovely, on the veranda, buffet style but everything covered, even a pancake machine! fruits, cereal, pastries cheese and meats. View of sea from rooms wonderful. Only a small issue with room balcony at the start. I scuba dive so required an external balcony to dry my kit on, did not have one for first night, requested a change, room was switched, even moved the luggage for us without asking SERVICE or what? Thoroughly recommend this hotel. Exceeded all expectations A big thank you from us.

Beautiful, traditional hotel with outstanding sea views! The hotel staff were really friendly and rooms spacious! A few suggestions to improve guests stay: . Room air con was not easy to operate . No Ironing facilities - at all? Zero, not even an ironing room? - very strange for a hotel hosting conventions . Pool opening hours could be expanded (even just for adults) 10-6pm is a little short.
