클럽 에세 셀리눈테 비치

Our friends and we (my wife and I) spent a terrefic fortnight in July in Selinunte Beach. It's a four-star-hotel deserves five stars definetely.Perfect and very spacy rooms with a big bathroom, a balcony with a garden view decorated in white-blue (Mediterranean style). Not very many people, I would rather say - few people on week days. but a lot of italians at week-ends. It's a good experience: to practise Italian and see the latest fashion/ Italians do like to show off.A perfect animation team, fantastic music, dances, gymnastics (stretching and aqwaaerobics). The staff is polete and helpful. We were especially thankful to Nicolette (reception manager). She helped us to arrange many trips to Erichi, Trapani, Castelvetrano, Agrigento and other beautiful places of Southern Sicily.But the most wonderful thing was the restaurant and thr food was terrefic,fantastic, divine, gorgeous, Besides, the waiters liked us so much that they presented us home-made brown bread and home made olive oil. The only minus was the sea. It was rather far away (about 1 km),and that year the Mediterranean sea was cool if not cold +18. I would recommend this hotel who like quiet rest,Italian(Sicilian) cousine, Italians, sights, music,sun and happiness.

My wife and I recently spent two nights in this hotel and never even managed to find out how far away the beach was, or how to get there. Apparently it is a considerable walk, involving the crossing of a railway line, or taking an infrequent and longer shuttle bus journey. One cannot actually see the sea from the hotel. We were travelling by coach with a group of friends and the driver had trouble finding the place. It is right at the end of a residential or tourist complex that was never completed. For some reason it is surrounded by a fence (perhaps to keep the guests in but I’m not sure why; where is nowhere to escape to in the evening unless one has one’s own transport or pays through the nose for a taxi!). Admittedly, the pool area is nice but you can only relax there if the attendants' choice of loud music is to your taste. In our case it wasn’t. Bizarrely, if you want a drink in the evening that is where you have to go, but bringing your drinks back into the hotel - out of range of the music - is frowned upon. Food wise, it is buffet only, for both breakfast and dinner, and the choice of food is pretty typical of what is on offer in the many hundreds of 'beach' hotels in the Mediterranean - providing sustenance rather than satisfaction. The bedrooms are just about OK; at least ours was clean. The only Wi-Fi available is in the lobby area and that is where parents seem to congregate in the evenings to use their tablets and laptops, while the children run riot. We stayed in several hotels during our stay in Sicily, and this one was at the bottom of the list by a considerable margin.
