Baia di Ulisse Wellness & Spa

We stayed at the Baia d'Ulisse as part of an organised group in early April, so things still felt a little sleepy in the area. It was different to other hotels we have stayed at in that the rooms are accessed via corridors open to the elements around a courtyard. That said, ours (45) was clean, comfortable, had loads of drawer space - but no tea/coffee making in the room - and a view of the sea in the distance; and the main bar area and external facilities were excellent. The breakfast buffets provided plenty of choice and although only three courses were offered for the evening meals, we were very happy with the range and quality of what was available (I'm not a big fish fan but can certainly recommend the risotto with fish, courgettes and poppy seed pesto). The main dish was brought to your table by the friendly waiters with vegetables placed on a separate nearby table from which you could choose your own. The interior hotel decor is not what I would expect from an Italian hotel, a lot of dark wood and some idiosyncratic artwork, by which I mean a number of different styles, but that is not a criticism. The hotel is, though, located at the end of a narrow road in a housing area so accessing it in a coach is not easy. And although there is lovely beach within a few minutes walk - the hotel has a private area - when we were there there were absolutely no amenities, no bars, no toilets etc etc, and it ios quite some distance to local shops. If you are visiting Agrigento to see the Valley of the Temples, I would certainly recommend the Baia d'Ulisse, with those caveats.

Stayed here on recent trip to Sicily. Absolutely gorgeous property on the sea. Unfortunately, it was off season and sunbathing was not an option. Hotel rooms were pleasant. Clean, comfy beds, but not tremendous, though there may be larger accommodations available. Breakfast was the least favorite of my whole trip. Not a large selection of anything. But it was adequate..nothing special. It is a little ways from restaurants, etc, and taxi service was iffy, so a car would be great. All in all, I think this property would suit someone looking for a beach vacation. Not for sightseers.

Good staff, good rooms, middle of nowhere, manager is a tyrant, refused to provide any chairs outside near pool for guests!! There were 48 of us plus a tour guide temperature was 35 deg every day we were there. He will not heat a good review from any of us. He lost a lat of money as most of us bought drinks from outside the hotel to drink on our balconies.
