Overall Ratings & Reviews Hotel Sporting Club

Transfer cost from train station ridiculous. Charged an additional $40 euro per day for extra room occupant. No place to walk or shop, not even a gift shop. Could only eat at hotel restaurant. Breakfast buffet was very good, and pool area was beautiful. Paid for two days but left after one due to boredom.

Nice location, good views, great pool area. Complimentary breakfast was good and so were the beds.

I painstakingly looked for a place on the beach for the last leg of our 40th Anniversary trip. I emailed the hotel to ask about a special dinner and transportation. They kept pushing me off to different areas with many emails back and forth. The thing that REALLY upset me was I had called a few weeks before to speak to the restaurant onsite. Our 40th Anniversary was when we were staying there and I wanted a special dinner that night. I spoke to Victor, who reassured me he had our back, that they would make it special! I was assured once again, after we arrived and spoke to Victor, that the night would be great. The night came, we got super dressed up and walked up to the restaurant and NOTHING. They barely acknowledged us. Victor said it was very busy and blamed it on his manager. His manager tried to come over and sell us the same horrible food on the menu we’ve been choking down the whole week. I finally ordered a steak and the sides came to the table cold. I cried at the table. They had ruined our 40th Anniversary and didn’t seem to care. The hotel said the resturant is seperate from the hotel but a bad dining experience reflects poorly on the hotel. Although it’s a beautiful location and the front desk staff and transportation staff are fantastic, there is nothing else around it for food options so you are stuck eating not good food with mediocre service. My opinion, this hotel is not worth it, even for the location.

Beautiful view!!!! The apartment was clean, spacious and was nice to have everything we needed to cook a meal. The staff was excellent and eager to help when needed. I would recommend this property

I am listing my impression from the positive to the negitive. But to sum it up, I would not stay here again, despite some of the great things it has going for it. The staff was great and the food and, generally, the facility is very nice. Some challenges with English, but it is Italy! We had the beef filet and spicy pizza were excellent. The view around the bay is wonderful and the sound of the waves is wonderful. The beach is nice. It is a mix of small pebbles and rounded rocks upto a couple inches. Nothing really sharp, but not comfortable to bare feet - bring water shoes. There is a few small amounts of sand in places. There are some small fish to see if snorkeling, but not very colorful. The hotel is about 40 to 50 minutes drive from Palermo Airport (PMO). The hotel says it has airport transfer for an additional fee, however they refer you to 'a partner' giving you a phone number to call. We opted to just get a taxi when we arrived. The taxi charged us €191.00. I am feeling that was not an honest fare, but I could be wrong. As comparison we paid about that for each night at the hotel. The nearest opportunity is the rail station a 15 minute drive away with the train running into Palermo about once an hour. The train trip allegedly about 20 minutes. My biggest complaint was that there a party hosted on site with EXTREMELY loud music and DJ that went until 0100, we couldn't sleep. This ruined our short visit and greatly impacted my rating.

Beautiful hotel in a beautiful location. Room and hotel very clean. Pool is lovely with a range of seating to suit everyone. Breakfast is excellent both food and saff. Coffee is strong. Lunch and dinner are both delicious, however i think the menus need more of a selection. Pizza and local beers were the highlight. A special mention to Antonio at dinner service. He is exceptional ❤️

Belle vue des chambres d’hôtel et hôtel très agréable.

One sweet location. I definitely will use this place for other visit in Bagheria again! Love love the hotel

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. The staff was very welcoming and helpful. Dinner at the hotel was excellent with beautiful views overlooking the water from your table. Breakfast included an omelette bar, which is rare in Italy. We will definitely be staying here again.

Staff were very helpful. Everything was very clean.

EXCELLENT stay! We booked only one night but had to stay a second because it was just what we needed. Beautiful place and extremely relaxing. Gorgeous pool and clean beach with clear water. Plenty of water sport activities too included. Attentive lifeguard, friendly front desk, and pool bartender. The service on the rooftop is slow but professional. Fantastic meals for dinner and lunch but breakfast is okay however great coffee. We will be staying again.

We stayed for 9 nights this July and we loved it! Our family room (4 beds) was nice and spacious, and the view from det balcony was exellent. The cafe, restaurant and bar had good food and drinks and the staff was friendly (though some of them did not understand much english). Having the beach almost by ourselves (Only for Hotel guests) was really nice, and the pool area looked like a Beach Club. We also appreciated the parking area where our rented car was safe (security guard watching 24/7) The only drawback was that there are no supermarked or other restaurants in walking distance from the hotel. There was no buses or trains nearby, so if you want to go somewhere you have to ask the reception for a taxi. We will absolutely concider coming back to this beautiful hotel!

Generally the quality of the hotel was good. The reception staff were great. The car parking staff not so great, although it was extra busy the day of our visit as it was a bank holiday. The approach to the hotel is a bit awkward. The drainage on the complex isn’t perfect. There were some drain smells outside here and and there. The beach was amazing, with kayaks, paddle boards and other fun things to use in the sea for free. The restaurant was a great setting for an evening meal, although service was a bit hit and miss and the quality of the steaks we had weren’t that great! All in all a good experience but far from perfect!

The beach right outside the room, the dining andcthe balcony with oceanview

We very much enjoyed our night’s stay here, we were just sorry it was not for longer. We loved the pool and private beach, both quiet and relaxing areas. All staff were helpful and friendly and the hotel itself was spotless. I contacted the hotel the day before to ask if we could use the hotel facilities before check in. We really appreciated being allowed to use the pool to relax after a busy few days travelling. There is plenty of parking in the hotel’s secure parking area. We ate in the restaurant in the evening and the food was excellent.

It’s a very beautiful plac, however there a few things that can cause inconvenience. Very isolated and no transport to go anywhere, hotel transport is extortionate 5 minutes journey contraction is €25!!! There is a fantastic restaurant in the hotel, but only open for dinner. If you want lunch it’s only cafe food which is disappointing. The beach is not sandy and it’s pebbled. If you decide to go there, you definitely need to rent a car.

Nice hotel, poorly maintained. No proper management. Dont stay on a friday-loud late disco. The restaurant is over priced with poor service, not interested in hotel guests. They make a point of saying theyre not part of the hotel Brakfast very poor Our room had broken aircon, not much hot water, fridge didnt work first day. Cracked glass in patio door to balcony. Shame because it could be a good hotel. Read the reviews-theyre all quite accurate

Very good hotel . Staff very friendly and helpful. Rooms cleaned every day . And a lovely area if you want peace and quiet. Strongly recommend. Justin Bonita
