Santa Tecla Palace Hotel is a magic place not only for the position and the sea but above all for the people who work there. Rosy, Marianna, Emanuele ,just to mention few of them ,together with all the staff made our 10 days holiday special , comfortable and magic. The attention and care for the Guests is one of the highest I’ve ever experienced. From the reception to the room cleaning service to the Meals service, everything is perfectly done with a great and excellent care for the Guests. Thank you so much and Looking forward to come back for another magic holiday.

Nice enough hotel, but surrounding area not sonice

Hotel was lovely... pool area was fab with plenty of sunbeds for everyone. Plenty of free car parking. Restaurants were good but they lacked air con as did main hotel areas. Eating outside in 38degrees at night wasnt pleasant.

Good Sea front Hotel

The hotel is sourrunded by a natural reserve. The settings are stunning. The hotel communal areas are beautiful and well cared for. The rooms are somewhat dated but still very good. choose a seaview room if you can. Staff was very friendly. Huge swimming pool. Access to the sea via a gangway, just hidillic. Lot's of fun!
Giovanni, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Staff went out of there way for our late arrival, even told the kitchen to stay open so we could dine in the outside restaurant. Property is well maintained, clean and updated. Great place for the price and only 45 minutes to Mt Etna. Wish we could have stayed longer. Only negative was mattress was very hard, I like a firm mattress but not solid.

2/10 Poor

Santa Tecla Acireale- Looks nice but is a letdown!

Cons: Not centrally located. No ameneties in the area. Quite a drive from catania....; Expensive; Hidden charges- they charge for everyting including plain water; Basic service and decor. Hotel needs a good upgrade; No access to beach! Pool closes at 1900!; Pros: Good parking area; Free wifi. Definately wouldn't recommend.

Nice hotel - nice room, amazing pool area

This was my first stay at the hotel. We were overall happy with our stay. The room was spacious and clean with a nice view, despite being located in the southern wing. AC worked well. Ample parking space which is valuable as well. The highlight of the hotel is the (salt water) pool area which is stunning and spacious with sun from morning to evening. The hotel also offers easy access to the sea if you prefer that, with rental SUPs etc. The restaurant serves really great food - very pricey for the area, but reasonable given that’s it’s a hotel restaurant. Great service and generous portions. On the negative side: the hotel has no concierge which surprised me, and when I asked for help booking tickets I was offered none other than a website name. The sunbeds are plastic, uncomfortable and poor looking. Would be nice to see them acquire new sun beds would elevate the overall experience. The cushions/bedpillows in our room were flat and hard - it’s an Italian thing, not worse or better than most hotels. But would love if the reception could offer other types of pillows. Might be that they do, didn’t ask, but wasn’t marketed either in the room information. All in all a very good experience - looking forward to go back for sure
Oliver, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

The location is great if you have a car. The staff is friendly. Especially the young couple at the pool, but one guy was so rood that we didn’t feel welcomed. The hotel was filled with local people not living in the hotel in the weekends this changed the standard of the clients. At breakfast we had to stand in line for a long time to get coffee but the the view was great. We complained about an animal on our rooftop waking us up in the morning at 6:30. It was a big one size of a dog and no one took us seriously. We have visited the place 3 times and stayed two weeks, this time the price was double up. It’s a pity as the hotel was almost empty with better prices the hotel could be full. The restaurant is really good but the system with some staff that can take orders and some not makes it slow. They are all kind I have to underline. The hotel shows signs of not being maintained for a long time.

Rolig og avslappendes

Det var et stort, rolig hotell, egentlig kun italienske turister. Hotellet har 1 restaurant , men der er mange små lokale restautanter i delvis gåavstand fra hotellet. Disse er en god del rimeligere enn hotellet . I ukedagene var der roligere enn i helgene. Fint bassengområde med bar/ snacks og litt musikk. De aller fleste av betjeningen var imøtekommende . Godt renhold. Gratis solstoler og håndduker hver dag. Trapp ned til sjøen. Det er ikke strender i nærheten. Det er lite å foreta seg utenfor hotellet. Nærmeste by er Acireale, 3 km unna, i bratte bakker. Nærmeste supermarked med 900m

Très belle entrée avec vue sur la mer et la piscine à débordement, chambre très correcte, petit déjeuner bon malgré la chaleur étouffante. La piscine est grande mais la propreté reste à désiré (ligne d’eau jaune, graisse). Le maître nageur pas sympa vous interdit tout (pas ouvrir les parasols,pas utiliser les serviettes de l’hôtel, pas monter les dossier des chaises longues….) aucune animation ! C’est mort ! Ne parle que l’anglais et l’italien.
