Almar Giardino di Costanza Resort & Spa

We booked a 4 night stay here for our honeymoon. It was a very pleasant experience. Very nicely kept premises, beautiful gardens (at night, you can sit under the pergola and listen to the sound of the Eurasian Scops Owl, which for us was a very unique experience). We enjoyed the room, which was clean and beautiful and equipped with all (and more) that we could need. We enjoyed the Spa 3 days, it was really beautiful and relaxing. I like the poolbar, with the barstools in the water, although it's a little unhandy to sign a piece of paper as a payment, with wet dripping hands and arms, but that's a minor thing :-)

The breakfast is nice, nothing over the top but enough, good quality, local food, fresh fruits, eggs, pancakes, good coffee. The terras of the restaurant is a beautiful location to start the day.

The personnel is very nice and friendly, alsways happy to help. I had a scratch from thorns after going for a walk in an offroad area, and I immediately was provided desinfection spray. Also, when I forgot a shopping bag at a restaurant in town, the manager himself ended up phoning the chef and they even brought it up to the hotel. Very kind. I don't remember all the names but they were all very nice and professional.

Special thanks to Salvatore, our daily waiter, he is so attentive, sweet and funny. Also big thanks to the massage therapist Grace, who did a very skillful and good massage, gave me some personal tips about stretching and went above and beyond to find back piece of my earring that I lost due to my own fault.

Overall, a very nice and luxurious honeymoon!

If I had to name constructive points for improvements:

- The restaurant. The food is very good, but of course when you have a rental car and can get around to neighbouring places (Torretta Granittola, Mazara del Vallo, Marsala) you will find restaurants that do actually outperform the hotel in terms of price, quality and quantity. I understand it;'s a challenge because this region is a culinary hotspot and the strong competition is obvious, but wouldn't it be nice if the hotel was really on par with the best places around?

- the location. You need a rental car to fully enjoy this location, and that was a really stupid experiencs (we rented a car on our own, via a third party, ultimetely renting it via USave, which was a complete rip off and very poor experience. Maybe the hotel can be more proactive in arranging/ helping car rental. But I might just not know that there were possibilities. My strong recommendation to other guests is to use well known companies for car rental and keep your eyes open.

Alltogether, thanks for the great honeymoon, you truely made it a great experience!

Absolutely stunning hotel and we enjoyed our stay. The rooms were perfect, and the grounds were beautiful and very well kept. The spa was awesome. Room for improvement in the food - the dinner just wasn’t great. We tried many dishes and nothing that we truly enjoyed. At the pool bar I ordered a pizza and they substituted the basil for mint. Strange choice. Mint? - if they didn’t have basil they just should have told me they were out. It wouldn’t have been good anyway. Something was going on with the sewer too - when we visited the spa the whole ground floor smelled like sewer gas just enough to notice but we enjoyed the spa anyway. The staff came off a little cold, but polite.

Fantastic. Huge room, lots of space at the lovely pool. Always lots of towels. Free shuttle to the private beach. Free shuttle to town, although too early at 5pm.
Location is in the middle of nowhere, so a car is needed, even with the free shuttle.
Food and drink is expensive but expected for a 5* hotel. Menu is pretty rubbish for vegetarians but restaurants in town are good.

We had a great holiday in this authentic and beautiful hotel. The vacation already began two days before the traveling when Victoria from the hotel staff asked what services we would need and if she could help in any way.
The hotel itself is a very charming and quiet place, surrounded by lovely nature.
The service at the reception, in the restaurant, in the spa area and at the pool was always warm and exceptional friendly, we always felt very welcomed.
The staff and the hotel are the best advertising for Sicily.

Nice hotel with fantastic spa. Not super modern in style but clean and comfortable. Massage and spa was first class. As hotel makes clear, it is not on the water but a good location to explore that part of Sicily.

This place is amazing! The staff are incredibly professional and friendly, and the ambiance is simply top-notch. The services provided are of the highest quality, making every visit a delightful experience. Highly recommended!

Lovely hotel with great food and friendly, attentive staff. The spa is very luxurious and relaxing. It is a bit remote and taxis are expensive so definitely worth having a car.

A beautiful hotel. Rooms are spacious and beautifully decorated. Service is excellent. The food is great. We are vegetarian and they went out of their way for us. The spa is exceptional. Showers in the room go hot and cold constantly which is a little annoying but really my only complaint.
