What an incredible location – here we could fully enjoy the sea and the tranquility. We stayed for 2 nights / 3 days and didn’t leave the hotel grounds even once, as everything we needed was right there. The food and drinks were excellent. Minus: The rooms are a bit worn, and the mattress was extremely hard so we did not sleep well ##### Stig Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hannah Aug 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Hotel Santa Tecla Palace. The facilities were excellent - beautiful infinity pool overlooking the sea, just like the photos. Plenty of sunbeds to relax in. Easy access to swim in the sea from the hotel, with lifeguards on duty. Delicious food at all the restaurants. There isn't much to do in the immediate surrounding area - we walked into the nearest town one evening but we decided that the bars and restaurants on offer at the hotel were much nicer. This was perfect for us as we had intended our short trip to be a relaxing one based in the hotel, but for anyone hoping to explore Sicily a bit more I'd recommend renting a car, as taxis can be expensive. ##### Hannah Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Keld Aug 12, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fantastic hotel Fantastic place.

Although it seems that the hotel is not full, the receptionist refused to give us an upgrade to see view room. Room was comfortable, but bed is not very comfortable. On the contrary to the reception, the staff in the bar and on the terrace with the pool was very friendly and helpful, especially the life guard boy(I don't know his name) who gave us many tips of local interest, where to eat as a local, what is worth visiting, where to shop... If you plan to stay there you need a car to explore the area from Taormina to Catania, and further south to Syracusa, Notto... ##### GORAN Stayed 5 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Catia Anyena Aug 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Santa Tecla Palace Hotel is a magic place not only for the position and the sea but above all for the people who work there. Rosy, Marianna, Emanuele ,just to mention few of them ,together with all the staff made our 10 days holiday special , comfortable and magic.

The settings are stunning. The hotel communal areas are beautiful and well cared for. The rooms are somewhat dated but still very good. choose a seaview room if you can. Staff was very friendly. Huge swimming pool. Access to the sea via a gangway, just hidillic. Lot's of fun! ##### Giovanni Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Oliver Jun 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice hotel - nice room, amazing pool area This was my first stay at the hotel. We were overall happy with our stay. The room was spacious and clean with a nice view, despite being located in the southern wing. AC worked well. Ample parking space which is valuable as well. The highlight of the hotel is the (salt water) pool area which is stunning and spacious with sun from morning to evening. The hotel also offers easy access to the sea if you prefer that, with rental SUPs etc. The restaurant serves really great food - very pricey for the area, but reasonable given that’s it’s a hotel restaurant. Great service and generous portions. On the negative side: the hotel has no concierge which surprised me, and when I asked for help booking tickets I was offered none other than a website name. The sunbeds are plastic, uncomfortable and poor looking. Would be nice to see them acquire new sun beds would elevate the overall experience. The cushions/bedpillows in our room were flat and hard - it’s an Italian thing, not worse or better than most hotels. But would love if the reception could offer other types of pillows.

Staff were so friendly and helpful. Food was excellent as was the service. The pool is as amazing as it looks in the photos. It’s clean and the lifeguards are very helpful. The sea was lovely, easy access and crystal clear water. Reception staff are also very helpful. What a treat to stay here and we will definitely be back! I would say that if you want to see the surrounding areas hiring a car is helpful. ##### Nichola Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amanda Sep 5, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We had a wonderful stay we always remember.

The views were incredible..the photos online do not do it justice! All personnel were kind and very accommodating. Room was clean and just the right size. Will definitely be booking again the next time we’re in Sicily. ##### Grace Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Martina Jul 23, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice enough hotel, but surrounding area not sonice Hotel was lovely... pool area was fab with plenty of sunbeds for everyone. Plenty of free car parking. Restaurants were good but they lacked air con as did main hotel areas. Eating outside in 38degrees at night wasnt pleasant. ##### Martina Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Hayden Jul 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Amenities Tidy, afordable, but little to do near the property. No gym, No irons in rooms and limited ammenities. ##### Hayden Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cindy Jun 16, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Staff went out of there way for our late arrival, even told the kitchen to stay open so we could dine in the outside restaurant. Property is well maintained, clean and updated. Great place for the price and only 45 minutes to Mt Etna. Wish we could have stayed longer. Only negative was mattress was very hard, I like a firm mattress but not solid. ##### Cindy Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller Jul 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Santa Tecla Acireale- Looks nice but is a letdown! Cons: Not centrally located. No ameneties in the area. Quite a drive from catania....; Expensive; Hidden charges- they charge for everyting including plain water; Basic service and decor. Hotel needs a good upgrade; No access to beach! Pool closes at 1900!; Pros: Good parking area; Free wifi. Definately wouldn't recommend. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Oliver Jun 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice hotel - nice room, amazing pool area This was my first stay at the hotel. We were overall happy with our stay. The room was spacious and clean with a nice view, despite being located in the southern wing. AC worked well. Ample parking space which is valuable as well. The highlight of the hotel is the (salt water) pool area which is stunning and spacious with sun from morning to evening. The hotel also offers easy access to the sea if you prefer that, with rental SUPs etc. The restaurant serves really great food - pricey for the area, but reasonable given that’s it’s a hotel restaurant. Great service and generous portions. On the negative side: the hotel has no concierge which surprised me, and when I asked for help booking tickets to an event I received none. The sunbeds are plastic: uncomfortable and poor looking. Would be nice to see them acquire new sun beds would elevate the overall experience. The cushions/bedpillows were flat and hard - it’s an Italian thing, not worse or better than most hotels. But would love if the reception could offer other types of pillows. All in all a very good experience. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/DC2B71158A6F707F551E083BE5624320696D86901719419824169.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/445F5044B4459F6422E4B1108CEDE65F511FE52F1719419842239.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8F96DE66098EFDF75108D96875BE988A38A580331719419838343.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/526D906F47EBAB35CA737821621A24C14507D3CF1719419832620.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Oliver Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Aug 13, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort Disliked: Property conditions & facilities The location is great if you have a car. The staff is friendly. Especially the young couple at the pool, but one guy was so rood that we didn’t feel welcomed. The hotel was filled with local people not living in the hotel in the weekends this changed the standard of the clients. At breakfast we had to stand in line for a long time to get coffee but the the view was great. We complained about an animal on our rooftop waking us up in the morning at 6:30\. It was a big one size of a dog and no one took us seriously. We have visited the place 3 times and stayed two weeks, this time the price was double up. It’s a pity as the hotel was almost empty with better prices the hotel could be full. The restaurant is really good but the system with some staff that can take orders and some not makes it slow. They are all kind I have to underline. The hotel shows signs of not being maintained for a long time. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 14 nights in Jul 2022 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Grand Forks](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Forks-Hotels.d1312.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Blue Horizon Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Rhodes-Hotels-Blue-Horizon-Hotel.h1217980.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Waterloo](https://www.expedia.ca/Waterloo-London-Hotels.0-n6047475-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Therasia Resort Sea & Spa - The Leading Hotels of the World](https://www.expedia.ca/Lipari-Hotels-Therasia-Resort-Sea-Spa.h1566394.Hotel-Information) > > [Planet Hollywood Cancun by Royalton, An Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Cancun-Hotels-Planet-Hollywood-Beach-Resort-Cancun-All-Inclusive.h36774901.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points By Sheraton Manhattan Midtown West](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York-Hotels-Four-Points-By-Sheraton-Manhattan-Midtown-West.h16397993.Hotel-Information) > > [Romantic Hotels in Sudbury](https://www.expedia.ca/Sudbury-Hotels-Romantic-Hotel.0-0-d6127346-tRomanticHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Mangia's Brucoli, Sicily, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Augusta-Hotels-Brucoli-Village.h1619803.Hotel-Information) > > [UNA Hotels Naxos Beach Sicilia](https://www.expedia.ca/Giardini-Naxos-Hotels-UNAHOTELS-Naxos-Beach-Sicilia.h1068892.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Giardini Naxos](https://www.expedia.ca/Giardini-Naxos-Hotels-RG-Naxos-Hotel.h24547.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Niagara-On-The-Lake by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Niagara-On-The-Lake.h21599984.Hotel-Information) > > [Melia London Kensington a Melia Collection Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Melia-London-Kensington-A-Melia-Collection-Hotel.h20210.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flair Airlines](https://www.expedia.ca/Flair-Airlines-Flights.cF8.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Spata-Artemida (ATH)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/ath/toronto-to-athens) > > [Flights from Regina (YQR) to Winnipeg (YWG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yqr/ywg/regina-to-winnipeg) > > [Flights from Spata-Artemida (ATH) to Lisbon (LIS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ath/lis/athens-to-lisbon) > > [Flights from Hamilton (YHM) to Mexico City (MEX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhm/mex/hamilton-to-mexico-city) > > [Flights from Richmond (YVR) to Mississauga (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/yyz/vancouver-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Regina (YQR) to Mississauga (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yqr/yyz/regina-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Peterborough](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/6057903/flights-from-peterborough) > > [Flights from schiphol airport](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/airports/ams/flights-from-schiphol-airport) ### Cars ### Cruise ### Packages > [Spain Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Spain.d166.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Six Flags Darien Lake](https://www.expedia.ca/Six-Flags-Darien-Lake-Corfu.d6034965.Vacation-Attraction) ### General
