    Lovely hotel, great pool but not accessible for elderly. Lovely staff. Very good free bus service into Taormina which is helpful as there isn’t a lot of restaurants easily accessible from the hotel (other than the hotel restaurant).

    The staff are super nice. Property is nice, not in the center of the action which is what we liked. Its real easy if you have a car to use as a home base. We originally booked if for only 2 nights and ended up staying for 4. Breakfast is nice. The beach is rocky so dont expect to be doing the backstroke there. Pool is very nice as well. For some reason the elevators and the bathrooms have a funky smell. No idea what or why. But all in all, would without hesitation go back there. Front desk staff couldnt be nicer.

    We loved the room, especially the big bed and the balcony overlooking the sea. Hearing the big waves crash in was magical! Breakfast was very good too. The only reason really I’ve marked it down was an incident on our first night there, Saturday 19th October. We had arrived very tired and were planning an early-ish night so had switched off the light around 10pm. However at this time the music from the event outside started and was very loud. We spoke to reception and they agreed to shut the door to the venue but said that it wouldn’t change the volume much. They told us this was common on a Saturday night and that the music would go on to midnight. We retuned to the room but the music was if anything louder and the door had clearly not been shut. We then asked to speak to the duty manager and Michel Strienza came to talk to us and his attitude from the outset was aggressive and belligerent and he was rude to us, telling us that the hotel was full (when it clearly wasn’t), lying that the music wasn’t loud and it would only be half an hour until it finished, in direct contradiction to his desk staff. He was the very definition of arrogance and rudeness before he stormed off. It is one thing to have music playing on a Saturday night, but it should be at least advertised to guests that it’s happening especially as the hotel website is all about having a relaxing break. It is a completely different thing to be rude to your guests. He needs some extra customer service training.

    The worst hotel I've ever stayed in! The location is bad - between the highway and the railway, Wi-Fi is so weak that it would be better to say there is none. Coffee for breakfast is terrible, food is poor and low quality. The hotel is definitely not worth the money!

    Property was well located on the beach just outside of Taormina. A shuttle bus was available if you wanted to get to the city. Beach club was included in the tariff and well appreciated. Staff were immaculate in restaurants, reception and housekeeping. It felt like a 5 star hotel. I could not fault this resort.

    The hotel is very simple. Pros: hotel is clean. Rooms are cleaned every day. The staff is fantastic and extremely welcoming. Beach is stunning, probably best beach in whole Sicily. Shuttle to Taormina is great. Reception staff is fantastic. Cons:without car you can’t walk anywhere. Parking is difficult. There’s problem with lunch with very limited options especially for children. No store or shop in hotel territory. Room is very small. No room in closet for 2 people.

The rooms are comfortable and the breakfast is of an exceptional level. The staff are so friendly and accommodating and I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone wanting a beachside stay in Taormina.

The reception was well tended and the reception staff were always available to answer questions and recommend good restaurants in town. The room had a great view of the sea. The room was clean thanks to the team of Chambermaids. The food in the restaurant was delicious and the bar was fully stocked. The staff, especially Adriano, Gian Luca and Fabrizio were very accommodating and always found time to chat with customers. Will definitely go back one day

    Yes the hotel is dated - but everything else over compensates ! The hotel is genuine beach side with a lovely beach area and pool area for guests. Tranquil garden setting that is so relaxing.
