Hotel la Martinica

Please Beware, I was sexually harrased by the pool guy , Francisco, and no one did a thing, even after multiple complaints! He literally hovered over my sunbed, and touched my face, while telling me to leave my husband, that he would "satify me" more! Very scary. I told the front desk lady and Nothing was done, so I hid in my room, as my husband was on a business trip here and i had no where to go. The manager said " I did not think it was serious". After I explained what happened in full detail, word for word to the girl, marie, at the front desk in Italian. She apparently told him I was" bothered a little". They did NOTHING. Women, please don't stay here, unless you want to endanger yourself or your children. This pool guy hovered over me and touched my face telling me to leave my husband, for him! That I was " bona" or a nice piece of ass in Italian. Just shockingly Disgusting!!! Not a thing was done and the guy still works here! No one apologised or anything! Even as we didn't want to stay the last night after the incident, they refused to return our money! DO NOT stay here, for your own safety. It's not safe. Very scary. Beach and nieghbourhood is very ghetto and covered in garbage. I tried to leave but no taxis in site. I feel violated and awful after what was meant to be a holiday. I've worked in hotels for over 30 years and travelled the world. As a woman and mother, I'd advise you to never come here, it's unsafe! Hotel manager was blasé about the whole thing and did not care at all. As I tried to speak with him, he told me he was good friends with the pool guy and that he can't believe me. The front desk girls laughed during me telling him and more hotel staff gathered around and laughed, making fun of me, as if it were a theatre production or comedy. There were two female staff among them looking on and laughing. Humiliation toward a sexual harrasment victim and Violence toward women is a serious crime outside of Sicily. Shocked beyond words. I URGE BOOKINGS AND TRIPADVISOR TO NEVER ENDORSE THIS HOTEL! ITS UNSAFE. I have alerted my country's embassy.

Excelllent facilities and exceptionally helpful staff especially the girls at the front desk. Breakfast was plentiful and we enjoyed sitting in the dining room meeting other guests. The room was clean and spacious and the bathroom was large. The restaurant was wonderful and the ocean view spectacular.

Great location Staff was so helpful and nice. They were very understanding with any requests. The view from the room was beautiful. Not far from Palermo Easy access and parking Restaurant was delicious was great seafood selection A place to go

We stayed 3 nights, out of season in October. Pool looks great, and easy access to the beach. Reception staff could not have been more helpful. Breakfast was excellent. By contrast the restaurant for dinner has no atmosphere, and as non-Italians we were largely ignored, so ate there only once before finding friendlier places nearby. Taking the train in to Palermo was easy and so much better than trying to drive and park!
