Grand Hotel Minareto is a real luxury. Within a beautiful location that looks out to the enchanting island of Ortigia (UNESCO’s world heritage).
A true Luxury Seaside Resort. With an extension of 25,000 square meters within the important natural reserve of Plemmirio in total harmony and respect with the surrounding environment.
The historic center of Ortigia is close and easily accessible.
Nature is the most powerful and evocative presence, with its palms, its carob and olive trees typical of mediterranean vegetation.
The rooms all come from the creativity of the famous roman architects Roberto Bacci and Philip. Each one of them have a balcony where you can enjoy a splendid view.
There are three styles of rooms to choose from: Harmony, Romantic and Decò.
The high quality is not perceived solely through the refinement of the environments but also in the refinement of the dishes presented in the restaurant of the resort: the luxurious restaurant "Nesos.” Here Mediterranean cuisine is rediscovered and revisited with respect for tradition. Three stylish bars are also available.
For business guests, the resort offers 4 conference rooms for meetings and conventions with an availability of 425 seats. The halls are luxurious in style to perfectly match the overall style of the Hotel. The halls are all equipped with the latest technology and the events can be accompanied with coffee breaks and light lunches.

His Opinion: Great experience. Wonderful, calm atmosphere. World class amenities. Excellent staff.
My only criticism is breakfast ... not very good quality ingredients. I don't believe omelettes were freshly made, they seemed reheated. It's a common criticism for a lot of nice hotels for me. I think times have moved on and people expect better quality, local food from a luxurious establishment such as yours. I'm sure there are plenty of local producers who would be willing to be involved. Overall the impression was 'generic 3 star hotel buffet breakfast'.
When I stay again (and I will!) even if breakfast is free, I will not bother going to the dining room to have any. It's not good enough really.

His Opinion: Although we had a shaky start (a wedding took over the hotel as the weather was inclement) the staff were charming and tried their utmost to make amends. Subsequently relocated to lovely room (several levels upgraded) and a complimentary dinner. Fantastic resort, beautiful gardens, stunning location. Better than staying in Ortigia itself in our opinion. Staff couldn’t do more to help us - v friendly, polite and ultra efficient. Food excellent. Just a marvellous time all in all!

His Opinion: i want to make a quick report for you.
first of all they lost our case in airport. we had to spent 2 ours in the big quie. your staff helped us to find our case after be kicked.
door to toilet was'nt closed. staff promised to fix it but have not done anything.
restorant in the hotel is only one, expensive and not very good.we had to eat in Siracusa or in fish restorant Ostrica park which was perfect.
bricks on the road are broken in many places and nobody fix it.
road to Siracusa was broken for 4 days and nobody fix it.
the beach was dirty.
the last day climat system wss broken. staff refused to change our room and give us 55 euro compensation for hot and wet night.
i thing for 5 star hotel it is too much.
i hope my report will help you in future.
Best regards

His Opinion: Hotel offrant un site splendide sur la baie de Syracuse. Trois atmospheres de détente : plage privative, piscine, ponton.
Nous sommes allés diner à Syracuse en prenant le bateau au pied du ponton de l'hotel et nous sommes revenus de nuit aussi en bateau - moment trés agréable .
Le personnel est trés aimable , les chambres sont bien équipées, le service de chambre passe deux fois par jour et la salle de bain confortable.
2 jours et 2 nuits trés agréables dans cet hotel pour une pause lors de notre tour de Sicile.

His Opinion: We absolutely loved our stay and would definitely recommend you.
Stuff we loved:
- the location and the hotel itself: beautiful. We particularly loved the beach and pool, which our daughter loved, but also the amazing view of Ortigia. We were really impressed by how pristine it all felt - this must take a lot of effort by the team to keep it all ship shape
- the staff: brilliant, friendly, welcoming. Thanks particularly to the person on reception who arranged a table for dinner for us and a lift back; the brilliant beach team who kept us happy, safe and refreshed; the fantastic life guard at the pool, who looked after us so well
- the poolside cafe - great offer, lovely team, good food
Stuff we'd change:
- we'd make the hotel policies more guest-centric. For example, you should serve on the terrace at breakfast (at least setting up the tables and serving teas, coffees, drinks). Everyone wants to eat out there, make it part of the experience rather than not.
- we'd improve the ambience and quality of food (bland) in the restaurant in the evening
- while almost everyone in the restaurant was brilliantly friendly and helpful, there was one particularly grumpy and unhelpful woman who looked fed up, barked orders at guests and even told my husband that breakfast ended 30 minutes before it did. She lets the rest of the team down, who are great.
Overall though, we absolutely loved it and will be back!

His Opinion: Very bad : even if workers are very nice, there is no service. The room was located at 1 meter of a wall, just in front of the room window. Cable TV did not work (SKY). Internet connection did not work for two days. Prices annouced on restaurant menu are not the same as on the bill. The price paid does not worth hotel quality and service.

His Opinion: My wife and I rated our stay as excellent (location, quality of lodgings, space, landscaping, pool), but would much prefer to park near our bungalow and be better protected from commercial intrusions such as the D&G's.
We would be more likely to become regular guests if you offered some beach activities such as kayaking, small-boat sailing and sport fishing (a good source of income for the hotel).

His Opinion: The hotel is excellent, very high standard of accommodation, lovely food and very helpful staff. The only problem is the distance from town. However, the management do try to overcome this problem with a courtesy bus. We did enjoy our stay very much.

His Opinion: Peccato ! Il complesso alberghiero è molto bello . La location è addirittura spettacolare. Manca purtroppo il personale in alcuni servizi.
Ai bordi piscina non c'è traccia di addetti (bagnini) a cui chiedere un telo bagno.
In costume da bagno , un ospite è costretto a recarsi alla reception per farseli consegnare dall'addetta all'in coming. Alle ore 13,00 - ora di un buon aperitivo ai bordi della piscina - non c'è traccia di camerieri per questo servizio . Dopo averli ordinati direttamente al bar ( DUE ANALCOLICI ) ci sono stati serviti assieme a quattro pasticcini con crema ! " Non c'erano salatini " è stata la risposta.
Nelle camere , infestate da zanzare , per avere un fornellino chiesto alle ore 17,00 , si è atteso sino alle ore 2,00 di notte .
Peccato ! Poteva essere un bel soggiorno.

His Opinion: La qualità delle camere e del villaggio è ottima ma è assurdo che in un 5 stelle deluxe ha una spiaggia molto sporca e con residui di spazzatura e un'infinità di alghe.
Abbiamo dovuto passare tutto il tempo in piscina, anche se é assurdo dire vacanza al mare!
L'ultima critica che non ci è stata detta é quella che il villaggio é molto fuori mano, bisogna affittare un'auto perché se no i taxi sono veramente cari, ci vogliono 40 euro per fare andata e ritorno dal primo paese vicino.
Devo anche sottoliniare che la cordialità del servizio ristorante e dei dipendenti era magnifica.

His Opinion: La qualité des repas pris au restautant aussi bien au petit déjeuner qu'au diner n'est pas en rapport avec le standing de l'hotel;
