We had to skip breakfast unfortunately to get to the airport which feels a thousand miles away from this small beachside hotel in a lovely old fishing town. Erica and all the staff are extremely helpful, rooms aren't huge but are very well appointed, brightly decorated and with a terrific shower, toiletries - all you can want. Our tank of a hire car we parked just a few yards from the door in the hotel's private car park. The hotel is practically on the town beach with a beach-side bar and lovely views across to the town. We stayed at the beginning of the season and not all the restaurants and bars were open. There aren't that many of them - this isn't a noisy resort - but we managed to get into Ristorante Tonnara on the Saturday night. What an experience. Fantastic food, wonderful wines and packed with a stylish local crowd. The drive to the airport is about 35 minutes so this hotel perfectly placed for a pre-flight stay whether you have a hire-car or are taking a taxi. But the hotel is so great and the town is so beautiful you're completely in another world while you stay there. If you have time it's also a great base for the Tonnara at Scopello, for Segesta and for the dramatic coastline up to San Vito lo Capo.

Nothing. A hotel run with real pride.

We had a fantastic experience staying in Hotel Cala Marina. The location of the hotel is absolutely perfect, the views, the outdoor seating area, the decor of the hotel it's all exceptional. The breakfast was so much better than we could have hoped, a huge buffet with new options every day, both sweet and savoury, all fresh and local. The rooms were spotless and the beds were very comfortable. The private car park is very handy and at a reasonable rate. Everything was perfect. All of the staff were so friendly but a special mention has to be given to Maria at reception who was so kind and accommodating during our stay, providing us with a complimentary welcome drink, giving us recommendations for day trips and restaurants, and even organising a takeaway breakfast for us on the last morning when we were checking out very early. I can't recommend this place enough!

This is such a cute place for a couple of nights stay, and to explore/hike in the Reserva Naturale Orientata dello Zingaro - a must do! The staff are so lovely and welcoming, the view is gorgeous, and the breakfast was exceptional! Worth staying just for the breakfast, full of homemade sweet and savoury Sicilian dishes and delicacies. Sitting out on the terrace and eating your breakfast will be one of the best moments of your holiday! It was a really wholesome stay, and I had the best gelato at Vernaci.

We had the smaller room and it was quite small, so I would say a longer stay might feel a bit cramped for two people. The balconies are very close together so not very private, but the staff, the breakfast, and the location make up for that. We'll 100% come back!

Booked this hotel for three nights and it was terrific. All the staff were very helpful and the breakfast were really very tasty. The room was ideal with air conditioning. Having a balcony at the front was worth booking. Being able to to sit with a glass of wine overlooking the boats, restaurants and people watching was great. Plenty of restaurants to choose from. We had a couple of days at the beach the first was at the nearest which had a beach bar, loungers and parasols. Drinks were reasonable however €30 for the use of the parasol and lounger was a bit expensive. Cheaper if you choose one further from the beachfront. Beach was a bit stoney with some sandy areas. We walked round to the larger beach (25 mins) where we got a lounger and Parasol for €15 for the day. Prices are seasonal and this was mid September but the summer cost wasn’t too bad(€25ish ?). Prices at the beach bar were also very reasonable. We traveled by motorcycle and there was free nearby street parking. The hotel offers parking (fee) but it was full when we arrived I would definitely recommend a stay at this hotel

Nothing

Cute hotel in a beautiful location with lots of restaurants nearby. Spectacular scenery. The staff were all really kind, and the breakfast was amazing. The view out the balcony was spectacular. The bed was comfortable and the room and bathroom were fairly large. Extraordinary value in my opinion.

Driving in was a little stressful because of uncertainty around the ZTL. It would be helpful for the hotel to include info about ZTL times in the welcome email, even if not applicable on the day. It wasn't active the day I was there but I got a little anxious when I saw a ZTL sign.

Beautiful views from the balcony. Comfortable room with lovely decor. Efficient and courteous staff. Secure parking is available and an ample breakfast is served in the morning.

Although it is not the hotel's fault, there was quite a bit of traffic underneath the balcony during the daytime with exhausts reaching inside the room, and loud noise from the people leaving restaurants sometimes up to 1 am. So you couldn't enjoy the fresh sea breeze with the windows open. Adding freshly squeezed orange juice to complete a good Sicilian breakfast would be nice.

The location was excellent. A little down along the quay making it easy to get in and out. They had wonderful breakfasts, a full line of foods. The view from the front and during warmer times where one can sit in front is excellent of th e harbor. And I cannot say enough about the friendly staff

Parking everywhere in Sicily is problematic. They had a nice area that one could reserve which was a bit away from the hotel.

Positioned right on the water, this is a fantastic value for such a great location. My room was sparkling clean and it looked like the bathroom had been recently updated. The staff was so nice and eager to please.

The hotel was beautiful, so Italian with beautiful tiles and decor. The location was perfect with a gorgeous view onto Marina, a great place to people watch. Staff were exceptional, Nicolo was so kind and friendly, all the staff were, from cleaners to reception. The rooms were very comfortable and the bed was too. The breakfast was plentiful with the usual Italian cakes and sweet stuff but also eggs, toast and cold meats and fruit. It is situated beside some very lovely restaurants and cafes, with a 10 minute walk up some steep stairs to the centro storico where you'll find shops and more restaurants and bars and cafes. There are 15 rooms, and this allows a more personal touch from the staff.

Nothing, everything was perfect. I wouldn't change a thing.

Cala Marina was just a really cute little Italian hotel. It's in a great location right on the marina. The breakfast was nice with a ton of options and a deck outside next to the water.. The room was small, but nice. We had a room on the front of the hotel with a nice balcony. The staff was very friendly and offered us a welcom prosecco.

The shower was a bit small, but that's pretty common in Italy.
