Villaggio Turistico Internazionale La Plaja

So much potential here but what a disappointment. The property is run down, there was some sort of dance party with a stage that played base on Saturday night that didn't stop until 0530. No sleep. I booked on Expedia and the property details said laundry facility, there is none. The property price gouges on weekends but we didn't have a choice for the location. They open up their property to non guests to pay for the beach access which leads to over crowding and difficulty finding parking. The bathroom was so old and gross and room was dark and old. For the price you should go out of your way for a different location.

Okay, I know everyone says this, but it is RIGHT by the airport and sooo loud. Also, they do play loud music on the beach till 1 am. The beds are HORRIBLY uncomfortable. The pillow is even worse. We had about half a roll of cheap toilet paper which was all used before we even went to sleep. No extra. Office closed. Yuck! The towel bars are propped on the wall, broken.It is soo dirty because it is on the beach. Nice sand beach though. We ate dinner at the restaurant and it was very good. The beach is extremely dirty, litter everywhere. This is the definition of a no frills place to sleep. Way overpriced for what it was. The front desk lady is nice and helpful though.

This is very close to the airport which worked for our early flight. The resort is set up like a beach resort with one story buildings that span the property. There was a band playing the night we stayed that was very loud so I had to wear ear buds to sleep. The rooms seem outdated but were spacious and were good enough for what I needed. The check in process was fast and they were friendly and set up a cab for us for 4 am in the morning. Overall I’m happy with what we got for the price we paid.

Great location by the beach and bus D took us into catania central

Hard to find. Signage not good and struggled to find entrance and reception. Property basic, but paid basic price.

Great place, helpful staff, had left my adaptor for phone at home. Lent me one in minutes. Restaurant food was fabulous Right on the beach.

Worse place I’ve ever stayed. There is nothing around the area to do, not even a supermarket. The whole place is pretty much a construction sight. Room didn’t even have any windows and was cold, dirty and worn down.

This place is overrun with feral cats and none of the amenities actually exist. The toilet didn't even work.

If one needs to stay close to the airport at minimum cost this is the place. Only negative was the room smelled like cigarettes.

Having missed our flight home due to losing our passports, we tried to find some last minute accommodation near Catania Airport. Options were limited but this property was advertised as a bungalow with a private beach. Sounded nice for 1 night. We were horrified when we arrived. The bungalow was just a small square building with 1 room for beds, kitchen and a table, and a separate room for WC & shower. There was loud music blaring out from a nearby beach for most of the night plus the noise from overhead aircraft taking off (no chance of triple glazing here). In addition we found 2 cockroaches in the room. Suffice to say, we didn't get much sleep that night. The free breakfast was also poor. It was a buffet but not much choice on offer. The coffee was cheap & nasty and the food choices were of poor quality. I could understand if this was a budget resort, but the room cost an incredible 200 Euros (170 tax) for 1 night. To be fair, the private beach did look quite nice and I suspect this is why it was so expensive. But honestly, don't stay here if you value your sleep.

On the beach and near the airport with good staff. However the place is rather run down for the price and effectively without viewing windows in the rooms.

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Room could have been cleaner. No glasses or cups in bathroom

Great location by a lovely beach, a bargain, but most of all the staff members at reception and at breakfast were really friendly and welcoming.

The room was old and smelly. People were partying at the beach after midnight. I could hear the beats in the room. The worse stay in Italy.

Bugs in the sheets on the bed. Bugs in the bathroom sink. Flushing the toilet was followed by a very loud noise I think was a pump to refill toilet reservoir. Wi-Fi virtually nonexistent. Noisy beach bar. Adjacent discotheque had very loud music until 2 a.m. Very limited hotel restaurant with inexperienced staff

Really good check-in and delighted with my room. Good evening meal and free breakfast before checking out. Five stars all round !

the property is in a very easy location to reach, staff are very friendly and helpful staff, our room was always very clean, and the beach is extremely well kept, parking was a big , overall very good value for money. only down side was the on site restaurant, which will not deter me from staying there again as I can easily eat somewhere else.

A hostel that makes you feel like youre in a 4* hotel. Amazing place!

We were here during the off season, it has a funky 70s beach resort vibe. We were pleased with the staff and found the room to be well worth the money in size and comfort.

The only thing going for it is it is near the airport
