Hotel Cala Marina  

Lugnt och tyst läge 20 meter från vattnet. Rent och fräscht. Mycket vänlig och hjälpsam personal som även talade engelska. Ovanligt riklig frukost för att vara i Italien. Parkering utanför dörren. Nära till restauranger.

Det var inte lätt att hitta dit eller därifrån. Iskalla stengolv.

Fantastiskt läge och snygga rum. Speciellt vårt rum med balkong mot havet. Bra service och tillmötesgående personal. Bästa Hotell och läge i stan. Vi blev rekommenderade Hotellet av vänner, och våra höga förväntningar infriades till fullo.

Ett bra hotell i en mycket trevlig och mysig liten stad med närhet till sevärdheter såsom Erice, Trapani och San Vito Lo Capo med Siciliens bästa bad o strand.

Fyllde våra önskemål. Lite mysigt hotell, i stan på lungt läge. Ingen störande från nattklubb eller bar. Utsikt över marinan från balkongen. Trevlig personal.

Man kunde inte bada vid stranden.

Perfekt läge,bra frukost.

Läget var toppen direkt i den mysiga hamnen med många fina fiskrestauranger. Personalens serviceanda var imponerande. Hela hotellet var mycket rent och välskött

Mycket presonligt och trevligt hotell i charmig liten fiskestad. Rekommenderar rummen på gaveln med delvis utsikt över hamnen. Varning för hög musik på bar intill fredag kväll så risk att bli störd i rummen framåt, men rummen på gaveln gick bra. Rekommenderar också att be om restaurangkupong som ger rabatt på 3 rätters middag på tre bra restauranger. En nackdel att det behövs bil för att nå stranden men Castellammare är en mycket trevlig stad att bo i.

Beautiful location, overlooking the marina beach. Considering it's postion it wasn't too noisy, Particul;arly as we were there on a Saturday night. Breakfast was generous with interesting savoury alternatives to the usual cakes. Convenient for the Zingaro Riserva which is a must for coastal walking. The town has plenty of choice or restaurants and has a real seaside buzz about it. If you like Greek Temples, Segesta is on 15 miles away in a beautiful location, despite looking down on the autostrada.

If you have heavy luggage there is no lift to get it upstairs. Don't bother with the Tonnara at Scopello - 4 Euros to get in and the car park near it is also 1Euro an hour. The Zingaro Riserva is equally picturesque and much better value.

A really fabulous location overlooking the harbour in a nice little town only 45 minutes or so from Palermo - less than that from the airport. Very friendly staff. A few nice little seafood restaurants a few metres away. All in all a great place to stay in northern Sicily. Book early to make sure of one of the three rooms overlooking the beach and harbour - certainly worth the little extra.

Nothing to criticise - the room was fairly ordinary but the outlook more than made up for that.

Cala Marina is at one end of a short seafront promenade around a quiet bay. The welcome is friendly and the staff helpful. Our room was clean, comfortable and well appointed. Breakfast are excellent. Parking nearby is easy.

Nothing - we loved it!

Great location at the foot of a mountainside, overlooking a pretty cove. Friendly, helpful staff. Great breakfast!

Could hear other guests moving around.

Very nice hotel. Friendly and helpful staff. Clean! Breakfast is delicious. Many restaurants nearby. Good location for visiting interesting places.

Private hotel, not a chain. Personal service Interested staff Quiet. Well situated on the shore

Nice location. Good room with seaview and balcony. Good breakfast.

There was nothing we did not like

The hotel has a wonderful spot right on the marina, with a gorgeous view. Once we found it, parking was easy. The town and this hotel are a good base grom which to explore a part of Sicily we found particularly beautiful. There are many restaurants close by, which makes it nice.

I wish it had been clearer from the information on Booking.com or the confirmation that one should NOT TRUST GPS to get to the hotel. There is a perfectly good map on the hotel's website that, had we had it, would have saved us nearly an hour of heartache as the GPS sent us through very tiny streets in the town and tried to send us down streets that were nothing more than stairs, went over a cliff, or were one-way the wrong way.

The intimacy, friendlieness of the staff. I believe a family owned establishment and it showed in the way it was run.

The walls between the bedrooms were flimsy and conversations going on in the room next door could easily be heard.

Excellent accommodation, lovely location near to good restaurants and marina, not too far from the best beaches. It is very good value for money.

Castellammara del Golfo is a tricky town to find ones way around, so could make for problems locating the Cala Marina hotel, clients need to be told to make for the Porto. My family had stayed there previously so knew the route. The hotel does not have a lift so could be awkward for persons with mobility problems.

Welcoming staff and lovely setting. Reasonably priced drinks in the mini bar and bottles of wine in the room. Lovely fresh pastries and cakes in the breakfast buffet and fresh ricotta too.

The beach opposite is not for sitting on or swimming from. It is a workaday harbour but interesting to watch

Very nice people. Great breakfast. Hotel was easy to find with lots of parking.

Excellent value for money with friendly staff and set in an outstanding location

Shower is on the small side, but everything worked and we had hot water at all times (not achieved by 4 other hotels during our Sicilian holiday !).

Very ok!

We had a great time at Cala Marina. Everyone was very friendly the rooms were exactly how they are pictured. Also, everything was extremely clean. We especially enjoyed how nice the staff was during our time at the hotel We would highly recommend the hotel and we will be traveling back again soon. Overall a 5 experience. Thanks for having us it was a lot of fun. Anthony & Deana

breakfast was very good

noisy in the front rooms at night

The location is great, close to many restaurants in Castellammare. The hotel is nice, well kept and clean. The breakfast is good - the best we had in Sicily. The view from the balcony facing the marina is very nice.

The air conditioning is underdimensioned. We had very bad nights and could not sleep due to the heat. The hotel checked the equipment but didn't find any errors. Obviously the system is not sufficient to cool down all rooms. If you have trouble sleeping in hot rooms - don't come to this hotel in july!

We liked the rooms and balcony from which we could see the harbour. The hotel was quiet and very clean.
