Vakantie en citytrip naar Cammarata

Zeer verzorgd hotel op een mooie locatie, vlak bij het strand, mooi zwembad en prima ontbijt.

Its location is perfect. A little bit outdated hotel, but clean. Room is nog to big.

Bij aankomst was het even een “oooh” voor wat betreft locatie (midden tussen industrie & geen leuk dorpje om je heen), maar zodra je binnen de muren van Palladium bent waan je je in een oase. Prachtig blauwe zee, bergen, zwembaden en palmbomen. De terrassen zijn mooi en je zit tussen de citroenboompjes. Eten was prima, maar niet zo fantastisch als sommige beoordelingen hier. Kinderen vonden de diverse sportactiviteiten & het all inclusive helemaal fantastisch, dus leuke ervaring.

The staff was amazing and very helpful. They moved our room after our first night because the people in the room above us were so loud we could hear everything. The rooms are nice but have some drawbacks: in order to have your windows open to get fresh air at night, the room is flooded with all the uplighting surrounding the hotel. The windows have wooden shutters inside which means in order to block out the light, you must close the windows and then close the wooden shutters. Either turn off the floodlights at night or provide some curtains. The walls are also very thin and you can hear everything in the room next to you. We couldn’t get any of the TV apps to work so only had access to Italian TV. Did a fun (but very long) cooking class. The pool area is interesting but not inviting. It’s in a corner in the main area of the courtyard and faces 2 walls so there is no view. Also not very private. There is no lobby bar or any soft seating to relax anywhere. There is also not a set restaurant at the hotel - you have to do a cooking class or a private chef cooking for you (which would be nice but it’s in the cooking class/breakfast room so you have to experience it while a class is going on beside you). It’s a very pretty hotel but not really designed for the best experience for guests.
