We stayed here for 3 nights as part of a 9 night tour of Sicily. This was to be the relaxation stop, with the spa and sitting by the pool on the agenda. We had a lovely time - totally agree that it is remote, but that’s what we were looking for. The room, the hotel decor, the food and... more

A pretentious resort in the middle of nothing. Ugly and mediocre private beach. Unprofessional team, expensive structure. I spent 70 euro for a tennis lesson with someone playing worse than me. The spa is just ok, friendly staff, but overpriced, this in not new york. Food at the restaurant not reflecting the real sicialian flavours, forget it! more

Let's get the negative comments over & done with. This Hotel is a 10 min drive from the coastal town of Mazara del Vallo so not in the middle of now where, & yes it is ideal if you have a car but there are taxis, & yes it was quiet, global recession. Now the good points & there are... more

We had previously stayed in Sicily in Taormina, which was fabulous interms of beauty, ambiance and food (from the casual cafes to fine dining establishments such as the San Domenico Palace Hotel). As we now have children we were looking for a luxury family resort in Europe that provided a kids club and babysitting. There aren't that many!! But since... more

I might not be a travel expert, but I still don't see the point of the Kempinski. As other reviewers have said, you keep asking yourself why such a nice hotel is placed in the middle of nowhere, far from the beaches and from the most touristic places of western Sicily. Anyway, it's brand new resort, quite luxurious, with a... more

A really pleasant, ,memorable stay with excellent staff - polite, friendly and who know you by name and kept an eye out for you. Lovely quiet, civilised place, with good food, fabulous piano bar and lovely quiet, well furnished room. Would recommend it - but as others have said - you need a car. more

Travellers - reviewing the previous comments - here is my snapshot of this Hotel where we stayed in 2006 - early after the opening: - LOCATION All those who do not want to rent a car or have a problem with a hotel outside of a town, do not go there, but Think Twice of what you will miss!!

We stayed here one night while on a tour of Sicily. The hotel is set in the country and was great for jogging throught the vineyards, but is not close to any town. The rooms are beautiful and well maintained. The fitness room was good and broadband worked well. we had a nice meal in the restaurant. this hotel is... more

Wonderful Resort, located in western Sicily, 1 hour from Palermo, in Mazara del Vallo. 5star, with excellent rooms, two pools, two restaurants, and a fabulous spa! In warmer months they have a private beach. In the middle of gorgeous wine vineyards and olive trees, it is a must destination, for relaxation and exploring. Greek and Punic ruins only 45min away.... more
