Almar Giardino di Costanza Resort & Spa

We chose Almar for two nights mainly because of its proximity to the Museo del Satiro, and because it is presented as a comfortable luxury hotel, even if the property itself feels a bit dated. The rooms are spacious, which is a positive point. However, for a five-star hotel today, small details matter. There were no USB charging outlets in the room, which nowadays should be standard. The main problem was the air conditioning. On our first night, the AC did not work. In hot weather, this should be the number one item on a room checklist before guests arrive. A five-star hotel should never assign a room without confirming that the AC is functioning properly. After a long and frustrating struggle, we were finally moved to another room after midnight. That completely ruined the stay. Instead of relaxing, we had to pack, unpack, move rooms, and lose a proper night’s sleep. For a two-night stay, one bad night is not a small issue; it affects the entire experience. At check-out, we also witnessed a very disturbing incident involving another guest allegedly being robbed by another guest. The police had to come. It felt like something out of Netflix, but not in a good way. Between the AC failure and the apparent lack of security, the experience felt more like the Wild West than a luxury hotel. We wrote to management requesting a refund for one night. Instead, they offered a discount on a future stay. Unfortunately, after this experience, a future stay with an expiration date is not to kind. God bless Aman — now and forever."

We truly enjoyed our stay at the hotel. The service was excellent, the staff was kind and professional, and the food was outstanding. The food at the pool was also delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented. Special thanks to Chef Gianfranco for the wonderful food, great flavors, and the care and attention invested in every detail. We would be very happy to return again.

The whole 4 day experience was exceptional and incredible value for money. The food was excellent but perhaps most exceptional were the staff who could not help enough and did ever with a smile on their face.

It was truly a lovely experience! my family and I stayed there in June for a week, and good thing we did because it was already really hot and staff told us that in July and August it is much worse! so good thing we did think this through. When it comes to the hotel, the rooms are spacious and clean, the pool is nice and refreshing; just be mindful that if you’re not used to the sun you will get burned! so be aware of that, it’s Sicily after all. I will recommend but I think it is definitely targeted to couples and not very family targeted so keep that in mind

We had a wonderful week staying at the Almar. Alberto and the hotel team went out of their way to ensure my partner and I had a relaxing holiday. Alberto is a experienced professional and his approach to ensuring a top class service is delivered to guests is evident across all areas of the hotel. A 5 star service. Special mention to Ed, the porter / driver on the front desk - always happy and will do anything for you. The shuttle service to town is a great benefit for evening dinner. Spa was excellent. Highlight of the stay. I didn't have any treatments but my partner had 3 and said they were really good. The Yoga guy was top notch - the best I have ever had. You must book this. The pool is great for a swim before breakfast. Breakfast buffet to a really high standard with lots of options available. Very friendly waiters. We had one meal in the restaurant on the last night and it was probably the best meal all week to be fair. Room was modern, clean and regularly serviced by staff. We had a view of the pool - well worth the extra cost. We loved our days out to the Selinunte Temples / cave di cusa / Marsala town and wine and olive tours. Overall, a superb time at the this hotel. Thank you Alberto and the team. Michelle and Spencer
