"Thank you to all the people working at the resort - made our stay very special"

"We had a great stay. We are visiting from the USA and are booking hotels as we go, not ahead of time. We found this hotel around 6-7 PM and rang from the keypad on site. We were instructed to communicate from WhatsApp and everything from there went smoothly and quickly (as there wasn’t a host on site at that time). Everything was electronic including the keypad entry. The room was adorable and had the most comfortable bed and pillows we had yet encountered in 2 weeks of touring Italy. We had an issue with the temperature of our room but immediately received remote help. The sunshades were appreciated as they blacked out the room to allow for sleeping in. The shower was huge and had a hand held attachment and also a rainfall shower head. This was the first hotel we encountered that offered conditioner, they also provided disposable slippers. The blow dryer wasn’t the hottest but it still worked (and probably better for your hair). And we absolutely LOVED the young woman that greeted us in the morning and provided us coffee at the provided breakfast. She was so kind and thanked us for our stay and answered any questions we had even if they weren’t related to our stay. We wouldn’t have booked a 2nd night here if we had the time to stay longer. If we return to Messina. We will book here. 10/10! "

"Great hotel, friendly staff, nice location, restaurant excellent "

"This is our third time at Mari del Sud in the past six years, and unfortunately, we’ve noticed it’s slowly declining. It’s a pity, because the resort has such great potential, so close to the sea and the beautiful Sabbie Nere beach and head a beautiful swimming pool. One major downside is the lack of a transfer service from the harbor to the hotel. We had the service during previous stays, and most hotels and resorts on the island of Vulcano still offer it. Although the receptionist said the hotel is walkable, I wouldn’t recommend it if you're traveling with elderly people, as I was. We ended up having to call a taxi for both directions, which cost €15 each way. Breakfast is good and the staff do their best, but the number of waiters is insufficient for the volume of guests. The swimming pool opens at 10 a.m. and closes at 7 p.m., so if you're an early riser or looking to unwind after an excursion, it’s disappointing to find the pool closed. Housekeeping cleans the rooms daily, which is appreciated, though again the limited number of staff means your room might be serviced late in the day, often when you're back for a siesta. I really hope Mari del Sud will go back being the resort everybody used to love."
