The animation consists mainly of dances that vacationers learn during the day around the pool

I completely agree with the previous review by Marika. 83 and I will say that nothing has changed in 4 years, and maybe it got better! Great hotel! The best vacation! Amazing climate! Excellent sea, it is from this side of Sicily, because. during the trip we traveled almost the entire island and had something to compare with! Friendly animation team, separately for children and adults.

Great hotel! The best vacation! Amazing climate! Excellent sea, it is from this side of Sicily, because. during the trip we traveled almost the entire island and had something to compare with!
Friendly animation team, separately for children and adults. Water aerobics, discos, THEATER performances and musical evenings are simply amazing. Children have their own playground: performances, games, trampolines... sometimes I wanted to visit them))
Our room was great, spacious, clean and with amazing views. This is superior and worth paying extra for! There are only 19 buildings, the territory is huge: 3 pools, one of them is 50 meters long, either a minibus goes to the beach every 20 minutes, or a ferry, the hotel has a pontoon and a series of slides from which you slide into the sea (a wild delight for both adults and children)! Russian 1/3, the rest are cheerful Italians and French.
We went shopping in Palermo, got into the season of discounts up to 70%, both on cheap local brands and on expensive ones. The main shopping in Palermo along the 2nd central streets, on one expensive brand, on the second everything else.
Sicily and Citta Del Mare are now my favorite place, and there is nothing to compare with!

We love Italy very much, but Citta Del Mare was an unpleasant surprise. The worst is theft! Yes, they steal in rooms, in public places. The hotel looks like a pioneer camp from the times of the USSR. The territory is not well-groomed, the rooms (except for the Arch, we were not there) are primitively simple, ants in the rooms.

You can relax, but the bar of requirements needs to be lowered decently! But in spite of everything - VERY LOVE ITALY !!!!! ! We rested in August 2011.

The three of us went for a week. Maybe the solar eclipse had an effect, but the adventures began already at the airport (flying from Sheremetyevo, Italian airlines BLU PANORAMA).

The three of us went for a week. Maybe the solar eclipse had an effect, but the adventures began already at the airport (flying from Sheremetyevo, Italian airlines BLU PANORAMA). We decided to get to the airport ourselves by Aeroexpress - very convenient, 35 minutes on the way. We got out at the airport - there is a board in front of us - there is no our flight (ours at 13.50 - the last one on the board is 13.40). We decided to wait a bit, after 20 minutes the situation did not change, we went to look for another scoreboard, we found it, our flight departed at 14.05 FROM ANOTHER TERMINAL! We ran to look for a shuttle to terminal C, having found it, we realized that this was the last one on which we could leave, because then the shuttles had a BREAK !! ! 1 hour. The airport employee slowly peering at the screen said that he didn’t see our flight at all, that of course we could go to terminal C, but under our responsibility, for some time we convinced him that we really needed to go there. We waited for the shuttle for 20 minutes, climbed in with difficulty, arrived, losing another 25 minutes. At Sheremetyevo, they search around every corner, and by the way, you need to pick up the suitcase and put it on the conveyor belt and so on 5-6 times !! ! And the suitcase is heavy and I'm not Hercules! Searched. In Duty Free, the same story - not only are the prices not "duty free" at all, but the cashiers are in no hurry at all. They flew well. The mood was overshadowed by the fact that one of our suitcases was opened and thoroughly rummaged in a cosmetic bag. Many of the suitcases were opened, and one couple did not receive luggage at all. We found a meeting party - we are not on the lists, or rather, there are others, who will arrive later. Therefore, we did not get the envelope upon arrival. We got on the bus, let's go, the guide girl says: "Open your envelopes, it says in which building you live, room number and cards for restaurants. " But we live nowhere. . . When we arrived at the place, we got the envelope issued, we were settled in the Sardegna building. Very very modest room but amazing view from the balcony. In general, ONLY Russians are settled in the buildings of Sardegna and Sicilia. The audibility in the rooms is simply phenomenal, as if everything is happening in your room! We arrived on Friday, and on Fridays and Saturdays, weddings are held at the hotel right next to the "lake of flowers" pool, that is, right under the door. The first wedding was distinguished by the repertoire of the 70-80s, they could not sleep, so they sang along and danced in the room for the sake of laughter. It all ended at 2 am, we decided to sleep, but it wasn’t there - they settled a late flight in the next room, the newly-minted neighbors were indignant at first for a long time, then for some reason they began to move the furniture, then they apparently ran out of steam and fell asleep, like us. We woke up at half past four in the morning from the heart-rending chirping of sparrows! I did not know that these birds can scream so loudly and heart-rendingly! Tired until breakfast. The wedding on Saturday was quieter and calmer, the fireworks especially pleased us - we didn’t even have such fireworks for the anniversary of May 9! Very nice! Hotel. When we arrived, we got into some kind of promotion and received an all inclusive bracelet, which helped to save a lot on coffee. "All inclusive" specific, valid only in one bar in the central building. The woman who works there, apparently the senior shift, is not at all happy with you and shows it to you with her whole appearance. Order only from male and female trainees! You can eat in two restaurants: it doesn’t matter where breakfast is - standard boring stuff, but lunch and dinner are good either at the Grill or at Le Isole, we alternated, there is not a huge variety, but you can live. The territory is large, well-groomed, green. Do not touch cacti, torture yourself to pull out small diseased thorns. Lots of different paths, most uphill, none straight to anything. For those who have a fitness background - very good. Toboggan is a cool entertainment, the beach - a pontoon - is deep, there are lured fish. A shuttle runs to the sandy beach every 15-20 minutes, regardless of the siesta. Siesta is a whole different story. It starts at 12.30 and ends at 16.30, while it is, everything around is dying out. If you want to know how many of our compatriots are in the hotel, go out at one in the afternoon to any of the pools - everyone who is there is ours. In general, the hotel pulls on 3+. This year they applied for 4 stars. But before that, a lot of things need to be improved: rooms (audibility, bathroom, normal shampoos and shower gels, safes in each room), in terms of food, there is not enough variety and fruits (otherwise only plums, peaches and apricots, 1 time watermelon) , as well as vegetables (too many vegetables soaked in vinegar, including broccoli). The staff are friendly and the welcome increases significantly if you try to speak Italian. Excursions. From the excursions they took the one to the wine cellars - a professional interest, a lot of local grape varieties that are not found anywhere else. We went to Palermo ourselves, having previously asked the girls at the reception to mark the most significant places. We left at 3 o'clock from the hotel, arrived at 8. Two days was enough back to back, as there are many sights, interesting ones and a siesta, again, so we didn’t manage to see everything we wanted. Part of the second day was devoted to quick shopping, not everyone managed to get around. Prices please with discounts. There are no crossed-out price tags we are used to, just subtract the discount from the printed price. People. Very hospitable and hospitable people, proud, they really like it when tourists try to speak their language. Seeing a beautiful girl, they sincerely admire, but do not pester. Always trying to help, explain, warn. Handsome men. . . The return flight is quite inconvenient - rise at 4 o'clock in the morning, departure at 7. (Therefore, it turned out 7 days and 7 nights). After arrival, we again received gutted suitcases, and many without wheels and handles : ((Those who wrapped them in film - too. Keep this in mind. It took 4 !! ! hours to get from the airport to the house. So in general we liked it, if the hotel develops it will be very good.

The sea was admired every day. The plumbing worked in the room, gel, soap, towels changed every day. Linen was changed on the 4th day. Cleaned in the morning, after breakfast in our absence every day. Breakfasts, lunches and dinners - buffet. For breakfast, tea, coffee drink, milk, juice, wonderful croissants, honey, jams, muesli, egg, cheese, sausage. In general, it was enough. At lunch, meat, fish, 2-3 types of pasta, snacks, fruits: apples, pears, plums, apricots, peaches, oranges, watermelon. Cakes. Had ice cream a few times. Also for dinner. There are no complaints about nutrition in terms of quality or quantity. Administrators seated us, but we always had enough space and food. Take water in bottles with you. The wine is local, light, pleasant (white and red). There were 2 excursions included in the price of the tour and we bought 4. I liked everything very much. The girls from the host travel agency are attentive, friendly, always there, they will help, explain. Especially Galina. She talked so much and interestingly on excursions. From her we learned a lot about the life and way of life of Italians. Thanks her! On trips and throughout the rest, the most terrible thing was VERY LOUD MUSIC !! ! On a trip to Etna, 4.5 hours there and the same amount of music sounded back. It was impossible to sleep (we got up at 5 am), read, or relax! I was forced to listen to music that I don't want to listen to! This is human violence! Same with the bus to the beach. Well, at least there to listen to only 10 minutes. And nightly discos because of the loud music spoiled the whole impression of the rest. I did not part with earplugs, but the music got both in the room and on the street. She didn't know where to run from. I got the impression that only deaf people went to the disco. But when the Italians celebrated weddings by the pools, the music at the disco did not stop, but it sounded so quiet that you could talk calmly and not close your ears. So, for respected people, music should be made normal, and for others - so that they become deaf? Unpleasant. A negative memory left from visiting the Oasis pizzeria. We arrived first and ordered. An hour later we left with no pizza and no mood. But the Italians who came after us sat, ate pizza, drank wine and felt
not bad. We did not tolerate such disrespect for ourselves and left. The most unpleasant event was the theft of a cell phone from our friend from the room. She was offered to go herself to the neighboring city of Terrasini and apply to the carabinieri. Moreover, she can write only in Russian, and the Italians do not know not only Russian, not even English. So it's hopeless. Others also lost material values, mostly money. We went to the beach by bus, it runs every 30 minutes. But when there are many who wish, they give enough buses to take everyone away and bring them back. Well done. We simply admired the drivers, their skill! Before the trip, I read reviews about the beach on the pantone (tabogan). I was even afraid to go there - someone counted 254 steps. But everything is much better than described. Only very sick and elderly people will not be able to go down and up there. And for the rest - with suspensions, with rest it is possible without terrible stress. There is no need to be afraid of anything and listen to negative people. Summing up, I can say: if you remove the loud music and add respect for the guests in the Hotel and the restaurant - bar, then you can come to Citta Del Mar more than once.

3 swimming pools, the territory of the hotel is huge, clean. . . There is everything you need (shops, pharmacies, internet. . . etc). I recommend shopping in the nearby city of Terrasini (5 minutes by car). The range is better than in Palermo, and the prices are much lower.
In general... everything in Cutta del mare! Believe me, you won't regret it! If you are interested in learning more, please email me. . . Marika. 83@list. ru
