The property was just beautiful very neat and the views were amazing. It didn’t seem to be very close to anything at least not walkable. It would’ve been nice to have restaurants and shops nearby. But the scenery was absolutely amazing. The food was great and it was so clean. We enjoyed it very much.

The view is incredible and makes the visit to this hotel worthwhile. The rooms are dated. There are no plugs to charge a phone except in the restroom or unplugging a lamp or phone. The staff is not polite or cordial. They seem to be trying to make it through the day instead of helping us have a wonderful experience.

Hotel was in a beautiful setting on a cliff overlooking the Ionian Sea. Room was spacious and comfortable. Plenty
of patio space with sun beds by the large saltwater pool and attractive pool bar with extensive bar menu. Food was good. Staff were wonderful. Parking was gated and free - we were lucky to secure a spot as it was off season and one could not reserve in advance. Only criticism was that the hotel was a sprawling design and easy to get lost, and decor a bit dated.

The property was neat, clean and had beautiful views. 30 years ago it was probably very trendy place to stay. I’m also pretty sure European travelers are vert comfortable with it. For Americans it is a little challenging. Small but comfortable rooms and showers, lots of switches for lights and who knows what else. We couldn’t figure some out. Not many electrical outlets to plug in all our devices. A small humorous thing the phone was plugged into the outlet with a switch for the bedside lamp so lamp could only be turned off by unplugging it. Finally figured that out switched the plugs and used the phone outlet for other devices. Breakfast had a huge selection of pastries, eggs weren’t very warm selection of fruits were minimal, juices were extremely sweet.

Great pool and view of the water. Room is average for the price. Restaurant is quite expensive, with very little options in the area for those on a budget. Construction was going on during our stay, with noise starting as early as 7am. Not sure if it is just the hotel or the area in general, but did not feel welcome as a foreigner. Would’ve been been better off staying in Catania to have better access to food options

The hotel is old fashion, but beautiful..the property is kept in great condition by the never stopping staff. Cleaning ladies, waiting staff and reception staff in the first place. The majority of people seemed to be regular..coming every year probably for the last 30 years…families meeting for the summer there summer after summer…lots of tradition going. The view is astonishing. Only complain, being an Expedia customer, is that you get treated well, but definitely not the same way as regular customers. Breakfast is very generous and included with the booking and the waiting staff in there treat you with kindness even though they have never met you before. Can’t say the same about the bar staff, but I can understand it in a way. Beautiful hotel that I would highly recommend if you like to get changed 3 times a day to impress the other clientele. Sofa beds( where our son slept)need updating, but overall a magnificent hotel. Definitely worth its 4 stars.

The hotel stands at a very prominent location overlooking the sea. It is a big hotel but spread out. The pool is probably one of the best I've been in and the staff very attentive around the pool and pool bar.
All the staff were very friendly and helpful throughout the hotel.
We fund the breakfast was disappointing, more because of the quality of the food rather than quantity. It's worth getting a room overlooking the sea, I wouldn't like to be facing inland or on the ground floor.

A very nice hotel with excellent service. A beautiful pool and private access to the sea!!
The hotel is slowly showing its age and could use some TLC. The access to the rooms with electronic key is terrible. You must try 5 to 10 minutes sometimes just to access the room. Also the rooms and hallways are quite noisy. It is very easy to hear all conversations in neighboring rooms.
In spite of the minor issues, a wonderful hotel that I would highly recommend!!!

The hotel has a very nice location in front of the sea with access to the water what is a great aspect. The room is spacious but not well maintained and no renovation was made. The amenities are very few compared to a 4 stars hotel and it doesn’t offers an iron if you need or any other option. The breakfast by the sea is nice feeling but the food selection is poor. The bar was a nice highlight. It opens until late and with nice selections of cocktails and snacks.

The room was very clean and comfortable, and the hotel is beautiful but very much like a maze to get from the room to other locations. Breakfast was nice, pool and outdoor areas had excellent views. There are very few dining options within walking distance, and was not impressed with the onsite restaurant. You have to get transportation to go anywhere which is expensive, but the trade off is that the hotel is quiet and out of the crowded areas. Staff was helpful and friendly.

Pros
Location, staff (specially Margarita serving breakfast), cleanliness of the hotel rooms
Cons
Hotel is very tired and in desperate need of renovation. Although the shower was clean, the mould in the tube made me feel uncomfortable. The rooms can use a few things such as a place for me to use my own hairdryer, apply makeup and box of tissues. Bathrobe wouldve been fab.
One of the biggest disappointment is not having coffee/tea making ability in the room.
All facilities including the pool, sauna ... We're closed. Due to lack of carpeting, I was able to hear people in the corridor and the cleaners outside of my door in the morning.

Amazing property , with spacious rooms and outdoor spaces . Nice garden. Unfortunately all the property shows signs of problems with maintenance for example cracks on the walls of the rooms, window frames not working properly, shower had some problems with leaking. Light switches very confusing . Breakfast was not adequate for a 4 star hotel: poor quality ingredients. Signs to find rooms in the hotel not sufficient. Check in officer not very welcoming and ready to satisfy the requests. Good quality dining however very expensive.

When staying at the Grand Hotel Baia Verde, we were very disappointed. Upon arrival I asked reception if they had water in the room in which they retorted they don’t do that here. I asked where I could buy water and the lady at reception told me there was a shop up the road. (Very little detail). The sheets were not always changed in our room and there were many building works going on during our stay along with power cuts whilst being in the shower. This was not communicated in advance and made for an exceptionally unpleasant experience. In addition to this we requested a double room in which we had two single beds joined together and this was not communicated in advance. The breakfast was exceptionally basic with poor coffee, and a small selection of hams and pastries not at all worth paying for. The only positive was the exceptionally lovely bar staff who recommended a few lovely restaurants in the area. Overall very disappointing, will not be visiting again

Visiting from U.S. Hotel was nice. Pool had plenty of chairs and complimentary towels. Pool closed at dinner time so you can't go in the evening. You can swim in the Sea easily and there is a lifeguard. Breakfast choices were plentiful. Only drawback was the bus system is erratic. They don't come often and don't stick to the schedule. The Trenitalia train was very punctual and a 12 minute walk away. Taxi back to airport cost 35 Euros.

View of sea from rooms wonderful. Only a small issue with room balcony at the start. I scuba dive so required an external balcony to dry my kit on, did not have one for first night, requested a change, room was switched, even moved the luggage for us without asking SERVICE or what?
Thoroughly recommend this hotel.

Very nice hotel. Not so nice gym.

Very nice hotel. Very clean, and the staff was very professional. Breakfast was also top-notch. The only issue I had was with the gym. They say they have a gym, but they don't; the equipment is old, and there are only a handful of dumbbells to use. If you're like me and need a gym, there is a gym 1 mile away (I walked) called Palestra Area Fitness that is very nice and offers day passes. Other than that, great hotel!

Also keep in mind you will be about 4 miles away from downtown. You will need a taxi to get there which costs anywhere from 20-30 euros each way.
