A fantastic hotel and golf resort at Donnafugata

Everything we expected and more the food at the Resort was exquisite and the two golf courses were a good experience also both very good layouts although the grass on the green at the Parkland course was a little long perhaps due to the hot conditions in July. We will definitely recommend the resort to friends and we will be back in the near future to repeat the experience

Beautiful hotel spa and golf getaway !

Beautiful hotel but the golf course is okay (greens a little too bumpy) and course drainage after a rain was very poor. Design was pretty fun to play on the links course. Finally, the dinner was a bit over priced all around the only 3 restaurant options however the breakfast which was free, was beautifully laid out in a gorgeous room and it was excellent. The Spa was the highlight of the resort for certain and is included with your stay - be sure to utilize this!

overpriced and overrated

on paper it could be perfect, but the details highlight many weaknesses, for a price which is higher than comparable other places. the grounds/buildings are pretty, but the place is huge, fragmented and hard to get from the hall, to the room and to the spa. the spa service is weak - for example there is no hot tub - and also you only get 1 free hour with your night's stay, after which you have to pay. the setting is pretty but it is far from any town, so you have to either do everything in the compound or drive several miles to the nearest (and minor) towns.

Mediocre ressort with a hefty price tag

This ressort is in around 30 minutes away from the coast of Marina di Ragusa in the middle of nowhere. It is a golf-ressort, also suitable for families. The rooms are a little bit away from the reception, so they offer you a transfer in the golf cart - I found that most of the rooms were not easily accessible without stairs. The breakfast is only mediocre and so it the service. Also the pool could get a renovation soon. The rooms are in a very good shape. Overall but not worth the high price.

Spoiling the golf mad husband...

* The room and resort facilities were wonderful and in a beautiful golf course setting * Complimentary shuttle to the private beach accessed via the nature reserve was lovely * Great variety and tasty options for breakfast * The service however overall was poor - food service was very inattentive, slow and impersonal * We asked for a bucket of ice from reception in person and were sent away and told to go to a bar. After being then waived on from place to place a further 3 times we still did not get ice. I would expect that for the star rating and tariff that reception should have taken on the ownership & arranged for ice to be sent to our room instead of us traipsing around the resort to unsuccessfully find it. * The flies at the resort are out of control and spoiled outdoor dining and poolside relaxing * Was disappointed by the refusal of our request to extend checkout by just 1 hour to cover finishing time of my husband's last golf round

Wonderful place for golf and spa vacation.

Elegant, tranquil location with a great golf course and spa. Staff was particularly helpful. As we were leaving a valet spotted that we had a flat tire and repaired for us within 20 minutes and had to beforced to accept a tip.

Should be better....

Lovely hotel setting, and great design and interior. However, a hotel like this needs the finesse of service, which it lacks. A special exception to Alessandra, Paolo and Vincenzo - who tired hard and did what was needed. The house keeping team and golf team were good..... The rest need to figure out if "hospitality" is their forte. And here lies the hotels "Achilles heel" - it just hits a 2 out of 5 on service. For the money it's a disgrace. I would not stay here again, the price for golf was too high for the standard of the course, menu in the restaurants was limited and desserts menu appalling. Best food was at the breakfast which was good, but 5 star should be table service not buffet... Booking a car is essential, and pack wad of cash... They charge you for everything. In essence a 7 night b&b stay, if you eat and play golf there 4 times is the expensive than staying at a Kempenski in Turkey for example... And the service will frustrate you, the wifi will drive you nuts, and the limitation of 1 hour in the spa for guests will make you angry, that's before you get ripped off with the hotels airport transfer service ( hire a taxi, it's cheaper and safer!). All in all, the hotel "team" was represented well by 3 people, plus the hard work from the golf/housekeeping staff.... The rest were ABYSMAL.

Nice enough if you absolutely have to play golf on vacation. Otherwise, the location is in the middle of nowhere and the services and accommodations are fine but nothing special.

This hotel is great, rooms are very comfortable, well decorated; the spa is amazing; the pool is nice. The only things that I didn't like are: - you have to book everything in advance. When we arrived all the activities were already fully booked: the spa was fully booked, so was the restaurant, even the beach was full!!! - the restaurants are not very good. Even the gastronomic restaurant is not that great.

Good hotel could be great

Just got back from 4 nights at this resort and overall we had a very good time. The grounds and rooms are both nice so is the pool and spa. The food at the hotel is good but not great, would be good to be able to get a pizza onsite. Hotel needs some more attention to detail when it comes to staff being polite and things like not having enough umbrellas for the pool sunbeds. Small things that would help make it even better.

Fantastic service, beautiful buildings, rooms, facilities. Child friendly although more adult feel to the hotel and no specific children's activities. Quite isolated so need a car to get around. New beach club opening in June, very frustrating as we missed it by 2 weeks. Food good, not excellent but good and very good value.

Impersonal and not quite thought through.

Staff were friendly and accommodation was excellent. However, the type and availablity of food was far from satisfactory. It was either eat in Restaurant with full meal or in Bar with an extremely limited menu. The food in the club house was fine but if you just wanted a toasty or a snack the standard of this was poor. The resort promised a lot but didn't deliver on all counts.

Wonderful spa facilities.

Very poor signage and directions to hotel, most people seemed to arrive at reception, tired, hungry and distressed after a long drive (from Catania). Breakfast buffet good, but not brilliant. On site restaurants are limited and expensive. Beware speciality nights, generally not good value. On a positive note the rooms are sumptuous, we stayed in a standard room that was way beyond our expectations. The spa and staff are exceptional, and we left totally relaxed at the end of our week. They also play golf.......but we tried to ignore it.
