Hotel Punta Nord Est

Everything is perfect!

Perfect place! Nothing to complain of!

Fabulous six night stay at Hotel Punta Nord Est. Great location next to the sea. Suggest booking a Superior Room with sea view. Room was clean with comfy bed, great shower & mini bar/fridge. Maybe just a lack of storage space. Pool and surrounding terrace was great. Pool bar had a good selection of drinks and food and the main barman (Leo?) was very friendly and made mean cocktails. Breakfast was a great selection of cold meats, cheeses, savouries, cakes and pastries, bread, fruit, etc. All hotel staff very friendly. All in all couldn’t really fault and would highly recommend. The resort of Castellammare del Golfo is also great. An old fishing village with narrow, twisty streets built on a hill. Lots of fabulous restaurants and all very reasonably priced.

We had the best time for my mum's 60th birthday with a great base at Hotel Punta Nord-Est. Check in was seamless even though there were 9 of us and the hotel staff provided loads of information on the local area and how to get about, they booked taxi's and provided us an early breakfast spread as we needed to check out before the standard breakfast times. Breakfast was nice, and we loved sitting under the lemon tree in the courtyard. I usually prefer a hot breakfast but also enjoyed the array of pastries and Sicilian provisions. We had a room with a side view of the sea and mountain initially, but as it was my mum's birthday, the team generously allowed us to move to a full sea view with balcony on the last 2 days which was very appreciated. The rooms are nice, clean and modern, and come with a fridge with drinks (at a cost). The location of this hotel is great, just a short walk to the centre of Castellammare del Golfo where there are loads of restaurants, shops, port etc, we booked a boat trip from the port which was at a very reasonable price and so much fun. I love the small town feel, everyone was so friendly, and word spread of our presence (big characters in the group) and we were very welcomed throughout town. My mum and aunts visited the sister hotel to get a massage and use the spa facilities, they said it was amazing there. I walked to a supermarket 14 mins walk away to get some Sicilian treats for work and friends, but it was uphill half of the way, through narrow secluded lanes and quite an exhausting walk in the heat, but it was great to get some biscuits, pasta , sweets etc at a great price. If I were to plan the trip again I would hire a vehicle to travel around and further afield, for example we wanted to go to Palermo, but the bus times were very limited - only two options per day. All in all, we had an amazing time, it suited various ages and agility within the group. I would visit again! The weather was amazing on each of the 5 days we were there :)
