Momentum Resort

The main problem was how the evening unfolded. We waited about 30 minutes for our table, then roughly 20 minutes for someone to take our drink order and another 20 for the drinks to arrive. Dinner took nearly two hours altogether. The first person in our group got food at 10:30 pm, and everyone else had theirs by 10:45. Service at the other tables seemed just as poor, even when there were only four people seated. Guests were looking at one another, clearly unhappy with how things were going. We began with drinks on the terrace, which has a lovely view and setting, but service was slow from the start. While waiting for the table, we ordered more drinks, and staff left the empty glasses and bottles uncleared. Later in the evening, the whole restaurant smelled like a sewer. The food was expensive, but the taste and quality fell short for us. The mussels came as a small serving of just four, with sauce that had become honey-like after being kept warm too long. The pasta ragu was like pasta Napoli with about 25 grams of flavorless minced meat. We raised the problems with the waiter, but got neither understanding nor an apology. He even blamed us for ordering too many different dishes, though there were exactly three. We were there only for dinner, and after this experience a longer stay was out of the question. For us, the evening was disappointing, especially at those prices, and we’d avoid the place.

The nearby village and beach aren't especially nice, apart from the incredible Greek ruins. The hotel itself was great, with an even better restaurant and a sunset view. Service was excellent, and they gave us a different room with a better view when we asked. We also enjoyed the spa treatments, and the infinity pool at sunset was breathtaking.

The food was excellent, and the resort had lovely sunset views. Service was excellent too. One familiar drawback of Sicilian accommodations: no useful kettle. Mine had a crust of white stuff inside.

The setting at Momentum is so peaceful and relaxing, and the food was fresh and delicious, with really good high-end cuisine. We stayed five nights for our honeymoon and also booked spa treatments and massages. I'd say they're a must here. The staff were lovely and friendly, and treated us like family. We'd definitely recommend it and come back!
