Ulasan Scala Dei Turchi Resort

The judgment must be divided into 2. The hotel with swimming pool. It is difficult to call it a "resort", the conditions for doing so do not exist: there is no gym; there's no game room; there is no SPA, and even the hydromassage corner of the pool was out of order for the entire 2 weeks of my stay). The structure is pleasant and follows the physiognomy of ancient warehouses for the storage of boats and fishing equipment, which were almost everywhere, in ancient times, in Porto Empedocle (the so-called Molo di Girgenti; Molo di Agrigento). The rooms are spacious but absolutely anonymous and 80% of the space is empty, which thus remains unusable. We have, in order: a table and 2 chairs; a huge locked kitchen cabinet; a double-door wardrobe without drawers; a small desk and a double bed. Ah, I forgot the 17-inch LCD TV with 20 channels, 5 of which are good. I had asked to use the kitchen but, at the time of booking, they told me that the kitchenettes were no longer available, and yet, in the room I had this immense locked kitchen cabinet, of which only the mini-fridge could be used, which I really didn't understand what he was doing there. The rooms are not properly soundproofed; unfortunately you can hear everything from the other rooms (crying children, going to the bathroom, etc.) and, also thanks to the incivility of some guests (who shout in the swimming pool even after its closing time), the quality of the sleep leaves something to be desired. The bathrooms... the bathrooms absolutely need to be renovated, my guys, especially the showers, and the consistency in the supply of hot water, which now runs intermittently, needs to be resolved. Finally the swimming pool: it's ok to add chlorine at 6 in the morning, but it should also be cleaned. The bottom of the pool must be cleaned, there are special machines for doing this, otherwise you will be left with a net. Two balls out of five. The restaurant/bar. Absolutely exceptional. Wonderful staff, knowledgeable, affable, respectful, kind and accommodating. One of the 4 evenings that we had dinner in the hotel (the only one in which we had decided, to be safe, to book, given the presence of many people), the hotel reception had forgotten to communicate our reservation to the restaurant staff, but Alfonso and Stefano immediately set up a table for us made from nothing under the palm trees, "because I remember them asking to have dinner this morning", Alfonso told us. The room manager, also lovely, also helped us solve the "sleep" problem mentioned in the previous paragraph, speaking on our behalf the next day with the rowdy guests at the pool, who from that day onwards never said a word again. . Let's get to the crux. Dishes that are always spectacular: octopus; tuna steak with caramelized red onion; grilled Mazara prawns and coarse salt; the sea bream fillet with black olive powder; raw cuttlefish fettuccine in gazpacho; the spaghetti with ricc
