My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon and had a lovely, romantic time. We hadn’t traveled to Sicily before and were a little nervous about the reviews this hotel had received. However, we didn’t experience any of the issues described by other travelers. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and chatty. This includes everyone from the reception team, breakfast team, cleaning team, beach team—everyone was great! Carol, who checked us in on the first night, had set up beautiful honeymoon balloons in our room, which really made our stay special. One of the reception team members (sorry we didn’t get your name) helped us deal with a parking ticket, which was very helpful! This is not an international tourist resort, so don’t expect everyone to speak fluent English. To be honest, this adds to the charm of the place. It’s a real hidden gem, and I’m surprised it hasn’t been discovered by the world yet! The location is beautiful. It’s a public beach, so there will sometimes be people there early or late, but we always managed to find a spot. It’s fairly quiet apart from some music one night. We had a beach balcony, so we could run from our balcony straight into the sea! The rooms are more beach-style but come with plenty of amenities such as toothbrushes and sleep masks. The bed is very, very comfy! Breakfast is out of this world. It features every type of Italian pastry you could ask for—ricotta-filled croissants, doughnuts, cakes, savory items—very incredible! Fantastic coffee and friendly staff. Breakfast is served with a view of the sea in a lovely restaurant. We would recommend having a car if you stay here, but we found some fantastic local restaurants in the area serving Sicilian food! The restaurant at the hotel is a bit more high-end but offers beautiful wine and pasta dishes if you’re looking for something a little more formal. The spa—wow! We were lucky enough to experience it, and what a treat. This is a beautiful sea-facing pool with various steam rooms. It’s cooling, relaxing—everything you would want! This resort was perfect for our honeymoon. We had the best time, and it was really made special by choosing White Bay to stay. Thank you to the whole team for your hospitality—we wish we could be back there now.
