What guests think

Saracen Sands Hotel & Congress Centre - Palermo is a large seaside resort used by families and airport stopovers, praised for its private beach and sunsets, generally friendly staff, and spacious rooms, but with dated areas and occasional noise.

Location is convenient for the airport and Palermo, but nearby dining can be limited outside the hotel. Several facilities face seasonal limits, with pools or spa areas closed at times. Food feedback is mixed: many enjoy the buffet and Sicilian dishes, while others find breakfasts basic or dinners repetitive; vegan options are scarce. Expect a beach-focused stay with variable room quality and seasonal operations.

The property was very nice and clean, however, we were disappointed as none of the pools were open, we were looking forward to using the pools, the availability of food nearby wasn’t that great. There were not many restaurants in the hotel or near the hotel. Most pizzerias were closed or under construction.

We stayed here for one night. It’s a very large resort hotel so we didn’t do much since we were passing though in between other destinations and plans. The pool was basic and the large one was closed for some reason when I tried to take my kids. I did not go to the beach which looked nice. The biggest bummer was their buffet dinner (30 euro per adult). It was not good at all. Food did not seem fresh and reminded me of cafeteria food. The rooms were clean and comfortable though. Very loud at night with music.

I have to say I have seldom felt this comfortable and welcome when abroad. The staff were absolutely brilliant and that started when we walked into reception and continued till we drove out to the airport. I am gluten intolerant once I told staff this they were amazing. Every meal I was taken around the buffet and told what I could and couldn’t eat. Gluten free bread was on my table when I arrived and if I decided on a pasta option gluten free pasta was prepared with ten minutes. We are retired and this trip was to celebrate my wife’s significant birthday. I asked if they could make cake, not a problem it was delicious as well as being gluten free, the warmth of the staff was great. Entertainment was shall we say dynamic? Every night a guy and/or a lady turned up with speakers and computers and depending who was sitting around determined how much fun it was, most nights it was enjoyable. The pools were roped off, it was April, I dipped my toe in and was glad they were. There was though plenty of pool furniture available for use. I don’t speak much Italian, Reception and some restaurant staff spoke good English, couple that with a translate app we had no real problems communicating in or out of the hotel and even made friends with a family from Milan who spoke little English. To sum up a complete success and wouldn’t hesitate to return

Vi havde booket dem ud fra det faktum, at de havde pool og børnepool, samt en legeplads. Poolen var helt lukket, børnebassin var ikke rengjort og legepladsen var halvt nedlagt og delvis i stykker, og slet ikke sikker. Hver aften havde de hyret en sanger til at stå midt i deres gang, og det larmede forfærdeligt, da det hele var fliser, så folk lukkede branddøren for at skærme af for lyden. Der var ligeledes højlydt fest på hotellet om aftenen, som også støjede. Service i receptionen var dårlig og uhøvlig, og værelset var kun gjort delvist rent. Vi tjekkede ud 5 nætter før planlagt, da det slet ikke levede op til vores forventning til 4 stjerner.
