★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Location ottima.
Servizio ottimo,stanze accoglienti e pulite.
Personale cortese attento e preparato.
Una piccola pecca la trovo sul cibo,basterebbe una cucina siciliana,anche più SEMPLICE!!!
X noi del luogo si trova la differenza...dolci ottimi.
Cmq lo consiglio
Excellent location.
Excellent service, comfortable and clean rooms.
Courteous, attentive and prepared staff.
I find a small flaw on the food, a Sicilian cuisine would be enough, even simpler !!!
X us the place is the difference ... excellent sweets.
Anyway I recommend it

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Una settimana di vacanza rilassante. Il posto è bellissimo, temuto con cura e molto pulito. Immerso nel verde e con piscina grande, una piccola per i bimbi e tre idromassaggi. Siamo stati accolti da un'animatrice solare e piena d energia che si faceva chiamare fragolina e ha reso la vacanza dinamica con passeggiate, risvegli muscolari, acqua gin. Insieme a Fragolina c'era Domenico che ha saputo conquistarci con la sua musica, il gioco aperitivo e la beach volley. Il pasticciere e il cuoco non si sono risparmiati. Cibi in abbondanza. Un buffet straricco di cose buonissime e ogni giorno diverse sia a pranzo che a cena, tre primi, tre secondi, frutta a volontà. Ai dolci non si poteva resistere: cannoli, sfogliatelle, cassate. I camerieri erano gentilissimi, in particolar modo Antonio che si è reso disponibile sin dal primo momento. Il mio tavolo era vista mare: il mio sogno realizzato!!! Le camere venivano regolarmente pulite e il letto rifatto. Grazie di cuore a tutti, compresa receptionist e bagnino. Una bella squadra che ha reso un posto così magnifico ancora più vivo.
A relaxing week of vacation. The place is beautiful, carefully feared and very clean. Surrounded by greenery and with a large swimming pool, a small one for children and three whirlpools. We were greeted by a solar and energetic animator who called herself strawberry and made the holiday dynamic with walks, muscular awakenings, water and gin. Together with Fragolina there was Domenico who was able to conquer us with his music, the aperitif game and the beach volleyball. The pastry chef and the cook did not spare themselves. Plenty of food. A buffet full of delicious things and different every day for lunch and dinner, three first courses, three second courses, fruit at will. Desserts could not be resisted: cannoli, sfogliatelle, cassata. The waiters were very kind, especially Antonio who made himself available from the first moment. My table was overlooking the sea: my dream came true !!! The rooms were regularly cleaned and the bed made. Many thanks to everyone, including receptionist and lifeguard. A beautiful team that has made such a magnificent place even more alive.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Ho soggiornato una settimana presso Le Dune Resort e le cose che più ho apprezzato sono la vicinanza delle camere al mare, in due minuti sei sulla spiaggia, il mangiare ottimo, la pasticceria grandiosa , il personale molto attento fa miracoli per accontentare gli ospiti, e qui finiscono le note positive. Andiamo alle negative: la camera non è degna di un 4stelle, mobili approssimativi…degni di una pensioncina, camera non fornita di un attaccapanni a muro e neanche di uno specchio, frigobar rumoroso,mancanza di una cordicina per asciugare teli e costumi che venivano sistemate all’esterno su poltroncine(che spettacolo!) , in oltre un pomeriggio dallo scarico della doccia veniva su ..dell’acqua..sorgente..o .. cos’altro? Esterni: l acqua della piscina sporca senza doccette vicine, molti mattoni sollevati dalle radici degli alberi creano pericolosi gradini, i tavoli per la prima colazione apparecchiati la sera ….e i gatti che gironzolano, per non parlare delle mosche che ti torturano sia all’interno(locale caldissimo privo di aria condizionata) dove si servono gli antipasti e i dolci (assaggiati pure dalle mosche) e sia durante il pranzo fuori; una mattina il latte freddo mi è stato servito in un comunissimo bicchier d’acqua…erano finite le tazze!!! Vista la posizione superlativa di questo resort, sicuramente da ristrutturare, sarò certamente il primo cliente a prenotare una vacanza a ristrutturazione completata, ma prima di questi interventi non penso di tornarci. Spero che la proprietà raccolga queste mie osservazioni e ne faccia tesoro.
I stayed a week at Le Dune Resort and the things I appreciated most are the proximity of the rooms to the sea, in two minutes you are on the beach, the excellent food, the great pastry, the very attentive staff works wonders to please guests, and here the positive notes end. Let's go to the negatives: the room is not worthy of a 4-star, approximate furniture ... worthy of a pension, room not equipped with a wall hanger and not even a mirror, noisy minibar, lack of a cord to dry towels and costumes that were arranged outside on armchairs (what a show!), in over an afternoon from the shower drain came up .. of the water .. source .. or .. what else? Outdoors: dirty pool water with no showers nearby, many bricks raised from tree roots create dangerous steps, breakfast tables set in the evening ... and cats wandering around, not to mention the flies that torture you both inside (very hot place without air conditioning) where appetizers and desserts are served (tasted as well by flies) and both during lunch outside; one morning I was served cold milk in a very ordinary glass of water ... the cups were finished !!! Given the superb location of this resort, certainly in need of renovation, I will certainly be the first customer to book a holiday when the renovation is complete, but before these interventions I don't plan to go back. I hope the property collects these observations of mine and treasures them.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Una settimana di relax in un ambiente carino e curato ma,a mio avviso, gestito non all'altezza del luogo!! Peccato! Al mare,alla spiaggia e alla struttura do volentieri 4 stelle... all ristorazione e ai servizi in generale non posso dare più di 3 stelle!
Menzione particolare però la merita il pasticcere che si merita un bel 10 e lode!
Difficile in un villaggio mangiare dolci così buoni!!
A week of relaxation in a nice and well-kept environment but, in my opinion, not managed up to the place !! Sin! I gladly give 4 stars to the sea, the beach and the structure ... I can't give more than 3 stars to the restaurant and services in general!
However, the pastry chef deserves special mention as he deserves a nice 10 and praise!
Difficult in a village to eat such good sweets !!

Abbiamo passato una bellissima vacanza, rilassante ma anche divertente.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My pregnant wife and I stayed at the Le Dune Resort from 20-Aug to 27-Aug and we found it to be very disappointing and definitely not a 4 star experience. It was a mix of poor service, lack of professionalism, low food quality and lack of cleanliness.
WELCOME:
There was no greeting from Francorosso at the airport or at the resort. It was very disorganized and the some of the staff did not even know where our room was located. We had called Francorosso in advance telling them that my wife would be 7 months pregnant at the time of the vacation and if there were any accommodations they could make to make it easier for her. Instead they put us in the room furthest from everything. We complained and they moved us to room 105 in front of the pool, so good that they moved us but it shouldn't have happened in the first place. Then when you check-in they also make you pay 10 euros deposit for a crappy old beach towel that is fraying on the edges and you have to keep the same towel for the whole week without it being washed. Every other 4 star resort I've stayed at has a daily towel service by the pool/beach.
ROOMS:
The rooms are small. You cannot open the wardrobe door fully without it hitting the bed (see photo). On the positive side the bathroom is very large and well appointed, almost as big as the room. However they only provide you with "St.Jane" branded shampoo and no conditioner. Other 4 star resorts provide conditioner to guests, especially at a beach/pool resort. The air conditioner works well but is too noisy to sleep with it on. It constantly makes a noise like a toilet refilling with water after being flushed. We ended up just turning it on only while we were out to get the room cool enough to sleep. Also there was a lack of cleanliness in the bathroom. You can see in the photos that the showerhead is not cleaned and the bath towels, even after being washed, still had stains on them.
WI-FI:
WiFi does not work at all. I don't know why they advertise as having it when it is impossible to connect.
FOOD:
We booked the vacation through Francorosso and it was advertised as "Pensione Complete + Bevande" but in reality, only drinks during mealtimes are included. If you want a drink during the afternoon by the pool, you have to pay for it. Also, coffee is not included (only with breakfast). If you want a coffee after your meal as do most Italians, you have to go to the bar and pay for it. Infuriating. The food is pretty much all buffet (only the first dish at dinner is served at the table) and the dishes are out in the open with no glass shields so any insects or items from the guests can fall into them. The meals from the previous night are routinely recycled into the buffet the next day. This is especially disgusting when they refry the fried food and it takes on a lovely radioactive orange colour. Also most of the dishes and cutlery are marked and not well cleaned. One time my wife asked for a spoon and the waiter brought over one with a piece of carrot encrusted on it. He apologized profusely when we pointed it out but it shouldn’t have happened in the first place. Just a general lack of attentiveness as the waiters also often brought the wrong dish or drink.
ENTERTAINMENT:
Every night there was a guy singing and playing electric keyboard by the pool until 11:30pm at a very loud volume, even if there were only a few tables of guests directly in front of him. Unfortunately, he didn’t have the capability to sing in tune so it was terrible to listen to. We complained a couple of times and they started turning the sound down at 11pm but it was still impossible to relax in your room after dinner with that awful noise. Twice a week they did karaoke so instead of having one person who thought they could sing but couldn’t, you had a whole group! Also, the resort is in the middle of nowhere so you have no other options at night to go anywhere else and are stuck with it.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We are two Americans seing Sicily in May, wine tasting in Menfi with no plans, only having fun buying local wines. We accidentally found Le DUNE from street signs as we were driving towards the water at the end of the day. What Good Luck for us! Prices were OK, accomodations were modern and the location's private beach was wonderful! There were very few people, the bar prices were very reasonable and we enjoyed the restaurant food for breakfasts and dinners.
