Very nice hotel in retro style. We got a sea view room and it was really wonderful. Very welcoming and polite staff. Good location in front of the pebble beach. All the comments mentioning old rooms and furniture are correct, but this is what makes it special. Furniture and rooms look old, but more as in 'retro' and not as in 'broken or heavily worn'. Everything is working fine and is as good as new, and it's all part of the hotel's charm. It definitely doesn't need any renovation, then it would just become the same as any other "new" hotel in any other place.

Breakfast contained just some breads, a couple types of cheese, prosciutto and salami, and different sweets. But that's the same (or worse) verywhere in Sicily, so you just need to know that you can't expect a full buffet with omelette, different vegetables, fruits, porridge etc. Nothing to do around besides the beach, so if you're staying longer than a few days, you really need a car to go around to see Etna, Savoca, Forza D'Agro etc.

Location and beautiful Seaview The owner and staff were very helpful advising on train /bus times booking trips and restaurants The lifeguards on the beach went above and beyond helping elderly people to the sunbeds carrying their bags as well as keeping an eye on the kids they were always smiling and happy to have a chat

Nothing really the hotel is a family run hotel and is not 5 star luxury but does not pretend to be and doesn't charge 5 star prices IT maybe could do with a little modernisation but only if it could be done without taking away its charm

It's a nice retro 3* hotel. It faces the sea and hotel guests have free sunbeds and umbrellas. There are plenty of them, no reservation is needed. The best thing about this hotel is the staff. Amazing people who try to make their guests feel welcome. There is a big fridge in the room which is very quiet.

Very soft mattress, air conditioning does not cool well, breakfast is quite simple and repetitive if you stay longer

The hotel was wonderful. The staff were all absolutely charming - so helpful at all times, from the receptionists, to the waitors, lifeguards and cleaners. All amazing.

Our only negative was that we wanted to eat dinner on the terrace and were told that dinner had to be eaten in the restaurant. It did not detract from our stay at all. Everything was wonderful

I love that the property has a distinct retro style, it is so well kept, clean and has all the amenities and facilities required. It has direct private access to the beach with deck chairs at no extra charge. The location is absolutely beautiful.

There wasn’t anything I didn’t like about the property.

We have booked 2 double rooms in Hotel Kennedy from 3rd to 7th August. The stay at there was very nice and the staff were really friendly and helpful. Location was great and hotel has their own car park so we did not have any trouble with car parking. Thank you

Everything was great at this Hotel runned my Miryam and her family. Even though it is old Hotel built in 1971 everything is working perfectly and spotless. Nice rooms with balcony that are being cleaned every day. Sunbeds are free of charge. They let us check out at 14h because we had a evening flight. Safe parking

Breakfast could have been better

Sunrise sights from the balcony Volcano Etna nearby One of the most beautiful towns of Taormina - 9km

it is an old hotel. but the staff was very nice. the bed was confort. it is close to the beach and to many resturants.

Everyone at the hotel was extremely friendly and helpful. They went above and beyond to accommodate us in any way possible. Location is convenient to explore several destinations.

Furniture in the room needs to be updated.
