Fiesta Hotel Garden Beach
The
232-room Fiesta Hotel Garden Beach is a simple, modern resort outside the town
of Cefalù. Fairly remote (it's a 30-minute shuttle ride to town), the hotel is
ideal for those looking for a waterside getaway, particularly families. With a
private beach, large garden, and four pools on-site, including a beach-side
pool and a children's pool, there are plenty of places to relax and take in the
sun. Rooms are large, clean, and comfortable, though they aren't particularly
charming. The hotel has an all-inclusive package, though some guests are less
than impressed with the buffet and drink options.
Caesar Palace
The
220-room Caesar Palace is not exactly regal but offers guests a resort-like
option outside of the center of Giardini Naxos. A few minutes’ drive from the
town center, the hotel is nestled in the suburban hillside, with little
entertainment beyond the property. Still, the Caesar Palace runs a shuttle to
the beach and there are nearby buses to the rest of Giardini Naxos and
Taormina, so there's no reason to feel too isolated. The hotel has a big pool
with two infinity edges as well as a separate (and large) children's pool.
Geared towards families, there may be a lot of children running about during
the high seasons, but the palace's entertainment and mini-club teams attempt to
keep kids entertained throughout the day.
Club Cala Regina
Part of
a complex of four hotels, this sprawling property near the beach is a favorite
with French families. It is set about eight miles from the small town of
Sciacca, and offers a good number of on-site amenities, including indoor and
outdoor pools, and several children’s play areas. Guests have complained that
the rooms are poorly soundproofed, and that the hotel is isolated from other
activity and nightlife.
Hotel Conte di Cabrera
This
mid-range resort overlooking the coast of Ragusa is in a prime location with a
great private beach complete with sun chairs, umbrellas, and water sport
rentals. Manicured green spaces, swimming pools, sports fields, and
entertainment for kids and families means guests don't spend much time in the
basic but bright rooms. The hotel caters to its French guests, and many of the
on-site entertainment options are in French and Italian. There's lots to do on
property and a shuttle service available, but those who want to explore further
afield should bring a car.
Torre del Barone Club
This
large, mid-range '60s-era hotel is part of a complex of four different hotels
clustered together near the sea and a 10-minute drive from Sciacca. Guests can
use the facilities at different properties, but some guests complain that the
huge size of the complex and the number of guests circulating around it can
make their experience impersonal and a little overwhelming. The 230 rooms are
slightly spartan, and could use better soundproofing, but are bright and
pleasant, and generally receive high marks for cleanliness. The resort is
family-friendly with many entertainment options, and guests report that they
enjoy the seaside location, and the possibility to explore the surrounding
area's beaches.
Club Alicudi Hotel
This
sprawling mid-range property, which has become particularly popular among
French families, is part of a four-hotel complex overlooking the Mediterranean.
Alicudi’s 175 rooms are situated about a 15-minute walk from the beach; the
hotel runs a shuttle service to the water, as well as to the nearby medieval port
town of Sciacca, known for its thermal baths. Rooms are large and clean, and
the all-inclusive option generally receives positive marks. Some have remarked
that the property is large, and that navigating it can become tiring,
particularly for young children.
