Ciclope Resort

A nice facility in a great location. Parking is challenging. Finding facility was difficult on a busy street without the ability to stop and unload baggage.

The staff where incredibly friendly and very helpful. Very nice place to relax and enjoy the sites of Catania.

Nice room with some cool design features in roof / lighting. A large and inviting pool, with a water feature inspired by Isola dei Ciclopi, in-pool massage jets, a shallow section for the toddlers and a good depth in the rest. A relaxing pool area with a bar where the ever smiling Giovanni (Johnny) and his other, friendly colleagues serve drinks, snacks and meals. Usually possible to get a sun chair so no one runs around with towels at 7 in the morning. The ever pristine Signor il Direttore keeps a watchful look at the premises, always with a smile and a chat for both guests and staffs (described by our 7yo as the friendliest boss he has ever met (although, admittedly, he hasn't met THAT many)). The staff is helpful and service minded. When a friend fell ill, the night staff decided it would take unnecessarily long to get a taxi and simply drove them to the hospital. Breakfast is varied and should cater to most people. A bit confusing upon arrival in the dark, as Google maps claims the adresse is on the other side of the street. The resort is part of Hotel Malavoglia, and that name was easy to see. Good size parking spaces in the basement, but a bit narrow getting in and out, as usual in Italy. Highly recommended.
