Hotel Caesar Palace

The hotel is situated at a Sicilian village that is not full of tourists, that was a plus for me and my family as we could have a glimpse of Sicily's natives and their way of life, there were no nightclubs or noisy pubs nearby which again pleased me and my family. Also it has an excellent situation to visit nearby places of interest which we did. The hotel itself has a dated decor and could do with some modernisation but it is very clean and the staff was very friendly, Nicolo and a young girl whose name I forgot at the restaurant were exceptionally good with everyone. The lunch by the pool wasn't much to shout about, the same of the same everyday. Breakfast and dinner were far better and more varied, they offer two special dinners every week and you mustn't miss them, really delicious food but beware that once some dishes finish they are not replaced. I found the fruit served was of exceptionally good quality, just picked. I found that the tables at the restaurant are far too close together giving no privacy as all your conversations can be heard, also they always directed you to the same spot you first went to on arrival which was not where we wanted to stay. During our holiday most guests were Scandinavian, French and Italians, very few British, we had no problem at all with it. There was nightly entertainment with the same people which could get a bit monotonous due to the repetition of the repertoire but we did not go every night preferring to walk around the area in the lovely warm air, very pleasant. There is a shuttle bus that takes guests to the beach driven by a very pleasant driver, the problem is that many guests just rush madly in and elderly people or people with mobility problems had to stand up in the bus very precariously as lots of seats are taken by young children who should seat on their parents'lap, this should clearly be written on a notice in the bus to avoid someone's nasty fall whose legal liability would fall on the hotel. Just as we were leaving to go to the airport we were asked to pay taxes at the reception which we did, when we were in the coach to the airport we realised we had been overcharged by 10 euros but it was too late to do anything about it. These taxes should be collected on arrival or shortly afterwards to avoid such incidents, they should not be collected in a hurry, last moment. I would willingly go back as overall it was a very nice experience therefore I can recommend people to go there too if you want some peace and quiet in a villagey atmosphere.

Delano who checked us in went out of his way to make sure our stay was awesome. We enjoyed our visit and will be sure to come back again. If possible, check in with Delano. He is very friendly & welcoming.
