Escape to Paradise: SUITEBEACH Marsala's Luxury B&B & Resort
Escape to Paradise: SUITEBEACH Marsala - Maybe Heaven, Definitely Chic (A Brutally Honest Review)
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because I'm about to spill the (San Pellegrino, naturally) beans on Escape to Paradise: SUITEBEACH Marsala. This isn't your average saccharine hotel review. I'm talking real talk, wrinkles and all. Let’s get this show on the road, shall we?
First Impressions - The Entrance (and My Immediate Overwhelm):
Driving up, the CCTV in common areas gave me a bit of "Big Brother is Watching" vibes. But then you see the exterior of SUITEBEACH, and the fear subsides a little. It's… well, it's impressive. The entrance is immaculate. But then, the luggage storage… okay, no, it's not perfect, no hotel ever is!
Accessibility and Comfort - Suitability for Everyone (Mostly):
Now, let's get real. I'm not in a wheelchair, BUT I always look for places that could accommodate someone who is. Facilities for disabled guests are stated as available, a HUGE plus. Elevator? Check. So, it's off to a decent start. I didn't see any obvious ramps, which is a bit of a bummer. Check-in/out [express] and thankfully also Check-in/out [private] gives you the option to breeze in or bask in the moment.
The Room – My Oasis (and a Few Minor Grumbles):
My room was… gorgeous. Truly. Air conditioning was a godsend (Marsala sun is NO JOKE), and the blackout curtains were a lifesaver for avoiding the early Italian sun. The extra long bed was a dream, and the complimentary tea was a nice touch. The mini bar was stocked with goodies (score!), and I loved the bathrobes and slippers. It had a desk perfect for pretending to work while gazing at the sea.
BUT (there's always a but, isn't there?) the bathroom phone was a bit of a relic and the hair dryer was the kind that screams "I'm going to give you a static shock experience". And, for the love of all that is holy, the shower pressure could have knocked a small child over. Not ideal.
Internet and Tech - Connected but not Claustrophobic:
The Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!? YES PLEASE. Internet access – wireless worked a treat. Internet access – LAN was also available, which is good for someone who needs to be connected (though, lets be honest, I don’t.)
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking - My Stomach's Italian Adventure:
I devoured the dining opportunities. The restaurants - plural! - were a delight. The Asian breakfast, Western breakfast and the buffet in restaurant were particularly memorable, a breakfast of champions. The juice bar and coffee shop offered welcome respite during the day. The poolside bar offered an awesome chance to socialize, while the Happy hour was a great way to wind down. The restaurants serve both Asian cuisine in restaurant, International cuisine in restaurant and Western cuisine in restaurant, giving a diverse array of options to choose from.
And, as a health-conscious traveller, I was happy that they had a vegetarian restaurant option.
Things to Do, Ways to Relax - My Version of Bliss:
Okay, the swimming pool [outdoor] is stunning. Absolutely stunning with a pool with view. I spent way too much time lounging by it. I could barely drag myself away. The fitness center looked pretty decent, though I, admittedly, mostly ate. The Spa was pure indulgence. I mean, a Body scrub, Body wrap, Foot bath, Massage, Sauna, Steamroom? Yes, please! Couple's room? Sigh. I was tempted to book for my future self.
Cleanliness and Safety - Breathe Easy (Kinda):
SUITEBEACH definitely takes this seriously. The Anti-viral cleaning products are a reassuring touch, and the Daily disinfection in common areas is absolutely necessary. They had the obvious Hand sanitizer and First aid kit. Hygiene certification on display, which I'm a total sucker for, is a nice touch. Every staff member I encountered seemed well-trained, and there's a definite sense of safety here. The Room sanitization opt-out available, is a feature that is great for those who like to play with risk (LOL). They also had Staff trained in safety protocol, and Professional-grade sanitizing services.
Services and Conveniences - The Things We Often Overlook (Until We Need Them):
The Concierge was a lifesaver for booking taxis and restaurants. The Daily housekeeping kept everything sparkling. The Dry cleaning service came in handy. The Elevator (again, essential). The Laundry service was a relief. The Cash withdrawal came in handy. The Doorman was very friendly.
For the Kids - If You Brought the Little Ones:
SUITEBEACH seems pretty family-friendly. Babysitting service is available, as are kids facilities and kids meal.
Getting Around - Smooth Sailing (Mostly):
Airport transfer? YES. Car park [free of charge]? YES. Taxi service is easily available.
A Deep Dive: The Most Memorable Experience: The Pool… and The Wine…and The Sunset… and OMG, the Food…
I need to talk about the patio. The patio with the infinity pool. Specifically, the one where I spent an entire afternoon, alternating between bobbing in the dazzling blue water, and basking on a lounger. There’s that amazing feeling of the Sicilian sun on your skin, the cool spray from the pool, the gentle hum of conversation, the scent of the sea…
I also ordered a glass of local Marsala wine and a plate of the best seafood pasta I'd ever tasted (and I consider myself a connoisseur). As the sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky in hues of orange, pink, and purple, I felt a level of contentment I rarely experience. It was a fleeting moment of pure, unadulterated joy. Seriously, I could have stayed there forever. I'd even go as far as to call this an actual proposal spot, but then I might not get the chance to experience it again!
Final Verdict - Worth It? Absolutely.
Would I go back? In a heartbeat. Yes. SUITEBEACH Marsala isn't perfect (nothing is), but it's damn close. It's stylish, comfortable, and the staff genuinely seem to care. The setting is breathtaking, the food is phenomenal. The negatives are minor – the shower pressure could be better, and the "static shock hairdryer" needs to be retired. However, the overall experience is absolutely worth it.

Alright, buckle up buttercups, because you're about to dive headfirst into my SUITEBEACH b&b and resort Marsala, Italy, itinerary. Forget those perfectly polished travel guides; this is the real, sun-kissed, slightly-sunburnt, and wine-stained truth. Prepare for a ride.
Day 1: Arrival, Jetlag, and the Pursuit of Perfect Pasta (and Maybe a Nap?)
- 10:00 AM: Arrive at Trapani Airport (TPS). Whew, finally. After that godawful flight (never, EVER fly budget airlines, trust me) and a baggage carousel that took longer than my marriage, I'm officially in Marsala. The air already smells like salty heaven and something faintly floral – I’m guessing the local flora.
- 11:00 AM: Pick up rental car. It's a Fiat, naturally. Named her "Fifi" (don't judge, I'm exhausted). Navigating the Italian countryside on the wrong side of the road…a learning experience, to say the least. Almost took out a Vespa…twice.
- 12:00 PM: Arrive at SUITEBEACH. OMG. Photos don't do it justice. Seriously, imagine a minimalist dreamscape, all whitewashed walls, breezy linen curtains, and a shimmering pool that practically begs you to dive in. Check-in smooth (thank the heavens), and then…the room! Sea view! Balcony! And the promise of a king-sized bed that's basically calling my name.
- 1:00 PM: Nap time. Jetlag is a beast. And maybe a quick dip in the pool before I pass out entirely? Yes, definitely the pool. This is what I call self-care.
- 3:00 PM: Lunch! Okay, technically the second lunch. First stop, a tiny trattoria in Marsala town. Ordered the "Pasta alla Norma" - because, you know, gotta start with the classics. And lemme tell you, I could cry it was so good. The eggplant, the ricotta salata, the perfect al dente pasta…I've died and gone to foodie heaven. Followed that up with a (very generous) serving of gelato. Don't tell anyone, but I might have had two scoops. Or three. Who's counting?
- 5:00 PM: Explore Marsala town, a walking tour. Wander through the cobbled streets. Admiring the Baroque architecture. Almost got run over by a scooter again (note to self: look both ways always) and take photos of the stunning sunset over the salt flats.
- 7:00 PM: Wine tasting at a local winery. Marsala wine! A heady mix of sweet, fortified goodness. So much to learn. The sommelier, bless his heart, was trying to educate me, but after the third glass, my attention wandered. I think I started asking if they had a Marsala-flavored gelato. They didn't. Disappointment.
- 9:00 PM: Dinner at Ristorante Garibaldi. More pasta (what else?). This time, seafood linguine. The waiter, a ridiculously charming man with eyes that could launch a thousand ships, kept refilling my wine glass. I’m starting to think he likes me. Or, perhaps, he’s just good at his job. Verdict: food was decent, but the waiter, the star of the show.
Day 2: Salt, Sun, and the Serendipitous Search for the Perfect Beach
- 8:00 AM: Wake up feeling like a queen. Breakfast on the balcony, overlooking the sea. Fresh bread, local cheeses, and the best cappuccino ever. Seriously, Italian coffee is life.
- 9:00 AM: Beach Day! Off to search for the perfect beach. First stop, Lido Signorino. Beautiful, yes, but a bit crowded. The sun is baking my pale skin (hello, sunscreen, my old friend). Sand is hot; the water is crystal clear, but I'm a fussy beachgoer, you see.
- 11:00 AM: Move to Spiaggia di Capo Boeo. Ah, this is more like it. A little less crowded, with a cute little beach bar. But a wasp stung me. Rude.
- 12:00 PM: Lunch. I might have ordered more pasta at the beach bar. And a pizza. And maybe some arancini. Don't judge. This is a carb-loading holiday, apparently.
- 2:00 PM: Back to the beach! Swam, sunbathed, attempted to read, got distracted by the sheer beauty of the turquoise water. Contemplated whether I could somehow smuggle myself back to Italy and hide in a beach hut permanently.
- 4:00 PM: Quick dip in the b&b's pool!
- 6:00 PM: Sunset aperitivo at Suitebeach's bar. Cocktail in hand, watching the sun dip below the horizon. Seriously, the sunsets here are cinematic. I think I actually shed a tear of pure joy. Maybe it was the Aperol Spritz, though.
- 8:00 PM: Dinner at Trattoria del Sale. More seafood. More wine. This time, the waiter didn't try to flirt with me which was a relief. The food was delicious though, simple, fresh. The ambiance was perfect.
Day 3: The Salt Road, the Windmills, and the Questionable Art of "Spaghetti with Clams"
- 9:00 AM: After breakfast, exploration of the salt pans. The salt road. The windmills. It's so picturesque, it's almost ridiculous. Took a million photos, attempted to look artistic, failed miserably.
- 10:00 AM: Visit to a local salt farm. Learned about the harvesting process. Fascinating, but I was honestly more interested in the gift shop. Bought a big bag of salt and a tiny ceramic windmill ornament.
- 12:00 PM: Cooking class! Now, this was either going to be a triumph or a disaster. We attempted "Spaghetti alle Vongole" (spaghetti with clams). Let's just say, my clams may or may not have been properly "cleaned." Let's just say, the chef, bless his heart, spent more time fixing my mistakes than he did actually teaching. The end result? Edible! Just.
- 2:00 PM: Rested the stomach, swimming, and then more beach time.
- 6:00 PM: Pre-dinner drinks in the hotel's garden.
- 8:00 PM: Dinner at a restaurant.
Day 4: Departure. A bittersweet farewell… for now!
- 9:00 AM: One last cappuccino and a croissant on the balcony. Trying to soak up every last millisecond of this idyllic view.
- 10:00 AM: Check out and return the car. With a heavy heart (and a very full suitcase).
- 11:00 AM: Stop at a gelateria one last time. The essential ritual.
- 12:00 PM: Departure from Trapani Airport (TPS). Goodbye, Marsala. I'll be back… and I'm taking all my new pasta-making skills with me. (Maybe).
This itinerary is subject to change, of course. I have no guarantee of how far I'll go or where I will end up. But that is the beauty of traveling, I suppose.

So, is SUITEBEACH *actually* paradise? Because, you know, marketing...
Paradise, eh? Look, I've seen prettier sunsets after a particularly good pizza (which, FYI, is readily available in Marsala... more on that later). But listen, SUITEBEACH comes pretty damn close. I'm talking seriously comfortable beds where you could legitimately lose a weekend (I may or may not have done that...). The view? Unbelievable. Turquoise water, the kind that makes your Instagram followers *seethe* with envy. But, and this is a big but, paradise also involves, like, you know, actual living. And real life, as we all know, ain't always sunshine and rainbows. Sometimes, the AC kinda struggles. Sometimes, the Wi-Fi acts like a grumpy teenager. Point is, it’s not perfection, but it's a darn good approximation. And after spending a week there? Yeah, I felt pretty darn close to paradise. Until I had to leave. Then I was just grumpy.
What's the deal with the rooms? They look luxe, but are they *actually* comfortable?
Luxe is an understatement, my friend. Think: crisp white linens you could practically *eat* off of (don't, though, that's just weird). The bathrooms? HUGE. Seriously, I think I could have hosted a small dance party in mine. And the beds… oh, the beds. Cloud-like. I swear I sunk into them so deep I almost forgot what year it was. There’s a teeny tiny flaw: my room’s AC decided to take a nap one particularly sweltering afternoon. I, let's say, expressed my frustration to the front desk lady. (Picture me, red faced and waving a damp towel around.) They fixed it pronto, though, and offered me a free aperitivo. Smart move, SUITEBEACH, smart move. Also, the little balconies are perfect for an evening glass of wine. (Pro-tip: Bring your own wine glasses. Just saying.)
Is the food any good? I'm a picky eater. Don't judge.
Okay, picky eaters, this one's for you. The *food*… oh, the food. Let's just say I did some serious damage. Breakfast is a glorious spread of everything you could possibly want – fresh fruit, pastries that will make you weep with joy, eggs cooked every which way. Lunch poolside? Perfection. And Dinner? The restaurant, "Il Salotto", is a culinary masterpiece. One night, I ordered the seafood pasta. I'm not exaggerating when I tell you it was the best pasta I've *ever* eaten. I may have licked the plate. Don't judge. And if your picky-eating tendencies are extreme? Seriously, there is a constant stream of snacks and drinks. You will not go hungry. Just, maybe, pack some antacids. You'll thank me later.
What about the beach? Is it actually *on* the beach?
Oh, honey, yes. The hotel is right ON the beach. Like, you could practically roll out of bed (after sleeping until noon, because, vacation) and be toes-in-the-sand within minutes. The sand is soft, the water is clear… and the sun… dear God, the sun. I managed to acquire the most glorious tan. And a slight hint of sunburn, that I might have ignored for a day or two. (Wear sunscreen, folks. Seriously. I’m still paying the price.) Okay, here’s a totally un-glamorous anecdote. I was so relaxed one day, I managed to fall asleep under my umbrella on the beach. I woke up, a hour later, with half my face bright red. (Don’t be me.) But back to the beach… it's truly special. Definitely worth the very minor risk of lobster-esque skin.
Is there anything to do besides lie on the beach? I'm a restless soul.
Oh, absolutely! While lying on the beach IS a perfectly valid activity, SUITEBEACH has plenty to offer the restless. There's a gorgeous pool (complete with a swim-up bar, naturally). You can rent bikes and cycle along the coast. They offer boat trips to the nearby islands – which, btw, are STUNNING. (I highly recommend Favignana – imagine turquoise waters and stunning landscapes. It's like stepping into a postcard.) And Marsala itself is a charming town with great restaurants, shops, and, oh yeah, the *wine*. (Marsala wine, to be precise.) I went for a wine-tasting tour, and let's just say, I learned a lot. And by "a lot," I mean, "a lot" about different types of wine. And how to, *ahem*, properly sample them. Plus, the staff is super helpful and always up for suggesting activities. They’re genuinely amazing, by the way! I felt genuinely cared for.
Any downsides? Be brutally honest!
Okay, the brutal honesty bit. Here's the deal. As mentioned, the AC did have a hiccup. The Wi-Fi *could* be spotty sometimes. And honestly? It’s not the cheapest place. But, and this is important, I truly felt it was worth every penny. The service is exceptional, the location is incredible, and the overall vibe is pure chill. Plus, there was this… this *thing*. A sense of genuine warmth that washed over me as soon as I arrived. It was just… special. Almost like getting a big, warm hug the moment you've been stressed. That’s priceless. So really, the downsides are minor. Minor, minor, minor compared to the sheer awesomeness of the place. And if a few hiccups are the price for paradise? Sign me up. Again. And again. And probably again.
Would you go back? Seriously?
Do you even have to ask? My heart is still there, sunning itself on the beach, sipping a cocktail, and probably eyeing up another plate of pasta. I would go back in a heartbeat. I’m already planning my return. In fact, I might just ditch everything and move there. Think of it: endless sunshine, that incredible beach, the food… oh, the food! Plus, the staff? Pure gold, and I miss them already. The only problem is, I’m already picturing myself back there, and it’s making me… well… sad. But this isn't a goodbye, its a "See you soon, SUITEBEACH Marsala." I’ll be back. And I’ll be ready for more pasta, more sunshine, and more… *paradise*. Seriously. GO.
