I didn't enjoy sleeping on the hard plastic wrapped bed. Very sterile and stripped down. I also hated that there was no hot water kettle or coffee maker in the room. It was a pain having to walk to the lobby for hot water. The breakfast was good though

I returned to the Saracen for the second time with my family. I strongly recommend for family with kids, great fun with the animator team both on the beach with music, exercises and in the evening with dancs and entertainment. The food was different and lots of variety however often it was not very warm and not much fresh fruits in the morning.

This hotel was where we stayed the night before our 6am flight home, so we were mainly there for proximity to the airport. It's still 16 minutes drive from the airport but the closest I could find. The staff were really helpful in lining up the shuttle to/from the airport, but the shuttle is pretty expensive, at 55 Euros at 4:30am. (35 Euros during the day.) The room was clean and we ate both lunch and dinner in the hotel dining room. The food is reasonably priced and decent. Breakfast was included in our room but since we left at 4:30am, they provided us with a packed breakfast to take with us. My only wish was that there had been a way to walk out the back of the hotel down to the beach. I gather that it may be less safe to walk on the beach at night, but we would have gone down there during the afternoon if we'd been able to get through there.

If you book from a third party site, make sure they give you the right type of room. Breakfast options were limited. Air conditioning only went down to 22 degrees (hardly cooled the room). Room had tatty wallpaper in places. Too noisy to sit out and enjoy the balcony. The staff were very pleasant and polite. We will not be booking here again.

If you want a quiet holiday, this is not for you! Lots of large groups of holiday makers, loud music at both sides of the site. No options for eating unless you opt for full board (only one bar snack available, toasted sandwich) and limited bar options (the bar near reception closes at 5pm). But staff are helpful and welcoming, and premises kept very clean.

The hotel is in good location, but needs modernization. Most of the staff were very nice and made our stay at hotel but more comfortable. As my wife is a vegan she found it very difficult to get vegan food. More needs to be done in this area. The staff tried their best to help us but the language barrier made it a challenge. One of the reason we chose Saracens hotel is that on the website, we were lead to believe we would have use the swimming pool, spa facilities , sauna, jacuzzi. But nothing was open.

Does what it says on the tin!

It is what it says it is - a conference hotel. We stayed there one night because it is convenient (10 min drive) to Palermo airport but it was completely rammed with conference goers. The hotel reception and service staff simply could not cope with the volume. Bedroom was an odd layout and very plasticky but it was clean and the bed was comfortable. Located next to a nice looking beach but we felt this was more a transitory stop than a longer term destination. Couple of nice restaurants nearby.

Food was not good

We stayed here for one night. It’s a very large resort hotel so we didn’t do much since we were passing though in between other destinations and plans. The pool was basic and the large one was closed for some reason when I tried to take my kids. I did not go to the beach which looked nice. The biggest bummer was their buffet dinner (30 euro per adult). It was not good at all. Food did not seem fresh and reminded me of cafeteria food. The rooms were clean and comfortable though. Very loud at night with music.

Uncomfortable Budget Hotel Claiming 4 Stars

My gripe with this hotel is that it has a lot of potential to be a nice resort—as it’s facing one of the nicest beaches I’ve ever been to—but it lies about being a 4 star hotel. 4-star hotels, at a minimum, typically have room service, vending machines for after-hours food, and if not, some other form of late night food option. Saracen Sands Hotels offers NO OPTIONS for food after 10pm, so if you get there late and you don’t bring groceries or food with you, you will have a tough time eating. Another pet peeve of mine is that the hotel is stingy with how cold they let your room get. It can’t be colder than 22 degrees Celsius. Most hotels allow up to 18. We were sweating for part of the night and the staff refused to override the code and bring down the temperature. I would’ve gladly paid more money for a cooler room. Long story short, when you arrive at the hotel, it looks nice. Sort of like a Hilton. But then you realize almost everything is self-serve (you even need to go to the hotel front-desk to get pool towels because they don’t have them available at the pools or beach), the rooms are uncomfortable and let lots of noise through, and it’s hard to find food after 10pm.
