Hotel Tourist looked very promising when we first arrived after a long drive from Palermo. The bar area is very pleasant, and the staff friendly and welcoming. Our room was good - fairly basic but clean and sufficient for our needs. However, the quality of the food was not so good - and unfortunately didn't improve during our stay.
We had booked half board - and quickly realised we should have gone for B&B, as there are some fabulous restaurants within walking distance. The meals were all buffet style, and the quality of the food ranged from average to poor.

Sited on an unnamed windswept coast, alongside a leaky nuclear power station, Guest House Paradiso attracts only the poor and the desperate.
As Twat’s only ambition ...

They seem to have a very large selection of starters in this place.
I had a fish salad, while my colleague had grilled aubergines togetehr with other grilled vegetables. Both dishes were very fresh.
For the first meal, I had pasta with alici, a kind of anchoives, while my companion went for pasta ncasciata alla cifalutana, apparently the speciality of Cefalu.
We then both had fish, sword fish myself and grilled fish my colleague.
The waiters claimed everything in their restaurant is fresh of the dayand that fish is delivered or bought directly from fishermen.
In my experience, this seems to be the case.
We also ...
