Antiquarium di Himera

Great views, and plenty of pools. Food is less than ideal. Gym is from the 1900's. Everything is super rusty. It's 'open air' and open 4 hours daily only: 10am to12pm and 4pm to 6pm. Considering its super hot, its not ideal. Staff - hit and miss. Some really nice and some are very unhelpful. For example when i asked for a taxi to go to the next town which is an 8 minute ride away, I was only given one option which was to book a car through the Hotel at 73 Euros. Was told I could try and book my own taxi if i managed to get one - ie was discouraged nor given any help. The day after, I found out I could have taken the bus at Eur1.50 Fully inclusive means b'fast, lunch and dinner only essentially . The only other snacks are just croissants and available only in certain places , and doughy pizza at 6pm. There is no food shop close by - so can only buy extra food from property or be stuck with food of the restaurant. They offer 3 other restaurants - but its a mission to book them and to be accepted. Water - for some reason they do not like guests filling own bottle, instead have to waste paper cups each time.

Really nice stay at the Grand Palladium Sicilia. I will say that some of areas of room could do with updating. Some of the wardrobes had stains on. The food was excellent! A la carte restaurants were all fantastic and there was such a vast amount of choice and variety in the buffet with a different themed cuisine each night. Everyone was exceptionally helpful and the animation team did a brilliant job throughout the day and night. Would highly recommend!
