I Mulini Resort

This was a cute and quiet little hotel right on the beach. The cute part being the outside, not so much the room. The room was clean so we had no complaints, but for the price you would expect to get something a little nicer. There was a man at reception that knew his stuff and was very helpful. He also spoke English very well. When the lady came in to replace him and we had a couple of questions for her, she couldn't really understand us. The staff at breakfast were the worst. They don't leave the cutlery out for you to take. Instead, the staff is supposed to supply you with cutlery, which they never did. They were always hiding in the back room and talking. They never offered us a coffee or anything. We even ended up putting the spread on our toast with a spoon because we got tired of waiting (the spoons are the only thing they leave out). The staff at lunch (at the adjoining hotel) was very friendly and helpful, although service still took a while because he was the only one on the floor. Overall not the best service, not the greatest location either. If you're looking to just relax on the beach, this is the place for you.

We had a wonderful stay except for 2 key problems. First there were stray dogs everywhere and they would get into the area the resort was in. When they got in they were locked in in the evening so at 5:30 am the dogs would bark and wake you up. This was not pleasant because every time you think you could go back to sleep they would bark again and keep you up. I am a pretty light sleeper, but this still should not have happened. The second problem we encountered was that there were kids that ran around and would scream around the breakfast area which is where our room was. This was not the hotels fault but they could have said something to the parents of these children.

We stayed in this hotel for a week and enjoyed every minute of it. It has lots of character and with only a few rooms to rent it offers a private atmosphere without noisy tourists. The swimming pool is a nice treat on a hot day. Right opposite the hotel, there is a little supermarket where you can buy all necessary food and drink. Also right next to I Mulini Resort, there is another bigger hotel owned by the same person, that offers all the usual i.e. private beach, big swimming pool with a bar etc. which you are also allowed to use anytime. The staff was very friendly. The receptionist was always happy to give an advice on where to go, how to get there etc. I would recommend hiring a car if you decide for this hotel. It is quite remote from the nearest town Trapani and its night life. Don't worry about the cost as parking is free in the town.

This was a perfect spot to enjoy the beach and also take the cable car up the mountain to scenic and quaint Erice.
