This is a fine hotel if you need to be near the airport, it is very basic. We were there out of season but were given an excellent beach view room. The bathroom was clean. The staff were very accommodating.

A lovely small hotel kept very clean and tidy. Small breakfast selection and no coffee machine to self serve so coffee was cold or forgotten at busy times. Will definitely learn more Italian for our next trip as we found it hard with limited vocabulary!

This property was a pleasant surprise in a cute little seashore town across the street from the beach. Staff amazing and the food was some of the best in all of Sicily. Only 15 minutes from Palermo Airport. I highly recommend it. Also ask for Giuseppe to pick you up from the airport. He is amazing. He has an app that he talks into and it translates into English. He also can take you almost anywhere you want to go. He was an excellent tour guide. I plan on going back! Thank you everyone for a real great time. Cheryl Groenhoff and Mom Kay Sanding.

Very clean great Mediterranean beach front hotel
On the last leg of our two-week BFF European extravaganza, We landed in Sicily. The staff was more than accommodating at early check-in, and the room was very clean. We just missed breakfast however breakfast the morning was better than amazing. We were offered private beach passes which was absolutely gorgeous. The beautiful Mediterranean is directly across the street and restaurants all around to choose from. We ate at Roaro (there is the Eiffel Tower in the name replacing the A which was ironic because the first leg of our trip was in Paris) a few doors down from our hotel. The view outside was fabulous and the food and staff were even better than that. The 20 yr old waiter was so adorable and could barely speak English, but he tried as hard as we did and got it. Great place to stay and a great place to have lunch or dinner.

One night stay
We stayed at Sirenetta for one night before going to the airport for an early flight. We missed breakfast since we left before 7 am. We stayed on October, which is after the season. The hotel and the area around was pretty empty. The hotel was clean, but the area outside the property had a lot of trash. The room was nice, with a Samsung smart TV. There are no channels in English, no CNN, BBC, or Fox, etc. Only programs in Italian. WiFi worked well. There is a nice pool with tables and chairs. The hotel charges 3 euro pp per day for beach towels. There is a restaurant in the hotel, and few restaurants outside within walking distance.

Aspects were good except one that ruined our stay
Staff was nice. Location was good. However when we came back late from dinner with friends one of the nights, we had to shower. The shower did not have working drainage or any enclosure to prevent the entire room and into the hall to be covered in water. Any of our luggage was saturated. There was no one at the desk to help us mop up or give us towels/mops/buckets. An hour later we were able to be dry enough to go to sleep. Also when our friends and kids came before dinner, we used the pool and sat around the pool. The charge was $20 per person or $100.

Nice hotel across the street from the beach
This hotel is nice, the pool is great, great air conditioner cause we were there in late July and it was very hot, when we asked for pool towels we were told that there was a 3 euro per person charge to rent them n if we wanted them clean we would have to pay 3 euro each time per person , . The bkfst was standard but there was a charge for espresso , the staff needs to be a little friendly , even the owner seemed mad all the time never smiled ,

We had quad room which was too seperate areas but AC in only one so big range in temperatures in both areas. Had some power cuts in evening. Talking to other guests they had 6 hour power outage day before and could not access rooms which were electronic key access. Nice choice for breakfast. Nice pool and opposite own beach with umbrellas. Not the best value for money.

Relaxation on the beach before flying home.
We stayed at this hotel at the end of two weeks traveling in Sicily and it was so peaceful and relaxing. The owner was most enjoyable visiting with us. The hotel was pretty quiet although there were about 30 students on Easter holiday staying there, but it was refreshing to see them having fun. We dropped the rental car off before checking into the hotel so weren't able to see the area. It is 15-20 minutes to the Palermo airport so I would recommend this to anyone who has an early morning flight.

Just about OK.
Staff pleasant and helpful but for us, an extremely uncomfortable bed. Location is fantastic for beach lovers as you just have to cross the road, but nothing else going on in the area. Hotel also has a nice pool area. Local town (Carpaci) was pretty slow when we were there, nothing really worth seeing. Breakfast was typical continental style but not a great selection. Overall, 'adequate' accomodation for a couple of nights.

Planning to come back for longer stay especially as the dinner served near the lovely pool was very good and in order to take advantage of the private beach.

Hotel with nice pool and free beach!
The hotel is located just across the road from the beach and includes a free pass, this is one of the biggest pros of staying at this hotel. The beach is nice with a cafe but sometimes the sea is quite wild! (large waves e.t.c) The room is large and bed comfortable along with the electric window shutter I slept very well. The air conditioning units are new and are working fine. It looks like some modernisation has been done since the pictures and last reviews. The furnishings and bathroom were a bit old but in full working condition. The hotel is a little overpriced and there are very little services in the hotel although there is a nice swimming pool which is hardly ever used. (I think you need to use a swim cap) There is some noise (music) at night but it wasn't enough to disturb me when the window and blind were closed. Breakfast is very avearge and closes early at 9.30am. The surrounding area is a little rough to the eye but there are some nice restaurants around the hotel and in Isola D Femmine centre. There is no immediate public transport but is possible to walk to the train station in maybe 15-20 mins. The airport is about 20-25 mins by car and there is a shopping centre (Poseidon) a few km's away in capachi.

The Hotel has a lovely pool but also close to sea
We really enjoyed our stay. The hotel is very clean with a lovely large pool and yet their own beach is no more than 100 metres away. All towels and linen were changed every day. We appreciated the friendly and helpful staff and the fact that the Hotel was quiet - unlike the larger Hotel next door. Would definitely consider returning in future.

Nice, access to beach, but poor location
Unfortunately getting around this part of Sicily is extremely difficult to get around unless you have a car with no trains and very minimal bus services, so this hotel should only be if you intend to sit on the beach or hotel pool the whole time. It is clean and comfortable with friendly staff, but only have basic English. You have access to the beach which is good with umbrella and banana lounge Monday to Friday (not included on weekends). Best to pre-organise a taxi with hotel prior to arrival for €30 otherwise could be difficult getting there? I would recommend doing thorough research before staying here i.e. transport and depending on the purpose of your visit

Lovely hotel!
Hotel was spotless and rooms were very comfortable. Right next to the beach but the hotel pool was the best feature! Shame the pool bar was closed throughout our stay but other than that, would recommend! Would also advise to plan other places to visit as there didnt seem much to do in the area (Palermo is only 20-30 minutes away by car!)

Hotel on a nice sand beach, with good access
The hotel seems to be undergoing major renovations, so I'm expecting will be even nicer but we had a very nice room with a terrace and water view for our two night stay. Good access to the beach and nice pool. Breakfast was served on the terrace overlooking the ocean and pool, was good. About 10 minute drive to Palermo airport, so very convenient stop off point, we were able to walk to lots of cute restaurants on the beachfront/marina.

We stayed with our family, daughter 12 and son 10, for 4 days as a base for Palermo. While the train to Palermo didn't work it was a quick drive into the city where we parked on the periphery. The beach resort at Isola Delle Femmine is a great family beach. For us it was great that there were surrounded by Italian families not people from home (UK). People speak a bit of English - enough to make the holiday possible without being an Italian speaker - and were helpful from start to finish. Friday and Saturday evenings get lively which didn't suit us but wasn't a problem.

Suitable hotel very close to beach
It is a good hotel near to beach with facility of chairs and umbrella. Generally it is a good hotel with helpful staff. The only downside was its breakfast which was very ordinary. But cleanness, location and quietness were superb. Taxis are expensive and trains are relatively cheap and with some research on the internet you could find details of travelling with trains and it is 4 stops from the airport to isola della femmine which is about 700-800 meters to the hotel.

Take a sat-nav
I only stayed a night and picked the hotel because it was close to the airport. Isola delle Femmine had just gone out of season in mid October and the beach was closed but the hotel swimming pool looked lovely. The building is not in its first flush of youth but the rooms are decent sized, clean, and everything works. The only criticism I have is not of the hotel but for the Sicilian road system. The hotel should be a short drive from the airport but Isola delle Femmine is not well signed and very difficult to reach because of a baffling one way system, so it took far longer than expected. If your looking for great, simple Sicilian food, try the Onda Blu just up the road.

a beach type hotel, out of town
the hotel is a well maintained place with really friendly people. we were somewhat challenged as we don't speak Italian and their English was limited. there is a nice beach across the street, but all services were closed (assume season was past while we were there 1st week of Oct). staying there without a car is an issue, as the town is 2 km remote. they have a nice pool with pool equipment as well. there was a issue with trash pickup while we were there (not at hotel, but on the same street). walking to town past the trash we had to pass a strong odor

Family friendly Beach hotel
I liked this hotel. The owner was so nice and even though there was a language barrier seemed to love chatting with my parents. The atmosphere was so friendly and relaxing. The rooms were clean and comfy. The air conditioner was a little hard to figure out but we did eventually, My parents want to return which says a lot to me. I would strongly recommend that anyone going to Sicily rent a car. Public transport is a bit of a pain and if your there on a holiday non-existent.

Good beach location and nice swimming pool
We were looking for a 3 star hotel next to a beach and with a swimming pool. We also wanted to be not too far from the motorway in order to explore the island by car. The hotel was excellent. The only downside was a very noisy disco at a nearby hotel which did not allow us to sleep properly some nights.
