The location was beautiful. The communal facilities were fantastic. The bar and restaurant offered great value for money and we’re cheaper than local restaurants

The economy room was really small and cramped and had no outside space. The toilet flush kept falling off the wall and the air conditioning didn’t work properly and was loud and noisy

Location - access to the hotel from the back of the bus terminal ( but no noise from it). Virtually door to door from Catania airport Swimming Pool - good size ( but 2m40 deep so not good for young children), warm, plenty or recliners, parasols and towels. Snack bar by the pool View - sea view from balcony Food - plenty of choice

Plumbing ( from other rooms) was noisy The live music was outside most nights and went on until late, so you could hear it quite loudly from your room

The location was perfect: the bus terminal is immediately outside the hotel; the cable car down to Mazzarò Beach is only a 3-minute walk from the hotel; and the town centre is only a 10-15 minute walk. The breakfast buffet had every food you could imagine, including Sicilian sweets and a granita machine. The staff were all very welcoming and hospitable, especially the manager, Francesco - he went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. The grounds were spectacular - the pool area was very relaxing, overlooking the ocean with the palm trees.

The menu at the bar could be expanded. We arrived late at night (around 11pm) and the only food available at the hotel were toasted sandwiches. Some $$$ needs to be put into maintenance as the rooms and grounds are looking a bit run-down and outdated.

Our room had a 180 degree aspect out over the bay and was very nice indeed. Breakfast was decent with some excellent fresh orange juice every day. Once you find the hotel you realise that it's location is very good.

It's hard to find fault with the hotel really. It's not the easiest to find if you are driving there but that probably goes for most hotels in Taormina.

Breakfast was included and very good. We also ate dinner there and it was also good.

Impossible to find even with Google maps. It is located behind the bus station and to get to it you have to cut through the parking area of the bus station. There should be a note about this somewhere.

Hotel is well positioned and within walking distance to town, cable car and sight seeing options. Main bus terminal is based at bottom of hill outside hotel which is useful for airport transfers etc. It was well kept and clean although rooms need updating. Pleasant bar area and pretty terrace to sit and relax. There is no shallow end to pool but floating devices were freely available to use courtesy of hotel. Plenty of sun beds although quite close together. Entertainment was provided each night and food and drink options were very good. All staff were exceptionally friendly, helpful and professional. A special mention to Daniele (from restaurant) and young guy (sorry didn’t catch name) on reception who went above and beyond in their duties.

Mainly the bathroom. Lighting was not the best and shower cubicle was small. However it was clean and main bedroom had plenty of hangers and comfortable bed although a little dated

Beautiful room overlooking the sea (breathtaking views) and beautiful and expansive pool area. The hotel could use a lot of modern updates throughout. Amazing breakfast with many, many options! The hotel staff were very professional and all lovely. They all seemed to be smiling and seemed to enjoy working in the service industry. The bus terminal to the airport is at the back of the hotel grounds. Shuttle with lido access and umbrella/chair offered by the hotel for 18euros.

A minimum of one night at the hotel’s restaurant (for 3+nights stay) should be included in this expensive hotel stay. If guests were encouraged and tempted by at least one dinner there which is included, they might frequent it. Do not try and walk up Mabel hill and especially not with your suitcase (you’ll regret it. Trust me Haha).

The hotel was amazing, it exceeded our expectations! The property as a whole was beautiful with stunning views.The room was clean, large with an amazing ocean view. The staff was very friendly, helpful and accommodating. We had to check out early before breakfast, so they organised a small breakfast for us. The hotel had a very nice restaurant serving also lunch and dinner which were very tasty. The only small negative while travelling with kids was that the pool was deep (2.4-2.7 m) but our kids were happy with floating devices. We easily walked to the main streets of Taormina as well as the cable car. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a dreamy place to stay and enjoy Taormina!

We loved the relaxed & friendly vibe & attentiveness of the staff. The location is perfect with incredible views and access to the beautiful & fun town of Taormina, espescially being so close to the terminus for tour buses, local transport and short walk to funicular. All areas of the hotel are comfortable, well laid out & decorated, and the pool area with bar & snacks, and sun terraces is wonderful. Some days we had breakfast, lunch & dinner there & the 4-course dinner was outstanding. There was live entertainment every night, which was lovely, but not loud or intrusive. Thank you Mauritzio at the front desk & waiter Daniele for outstsnding service but every member of staff were wonderful too. Our room was 118, a superior triple room (218 is identical) & was spacious, well-designed, with 3 balconies of sea views, one large with table & chairs. Book early to get either of these rooms. We were a couple with a 13yr old son.

The pool hours are 9:30am to 6pm and because it was so hot during our stay it would be nice to go for a dip earlier or later, if heading out for the day. Pool is too deep to stand at any end so not really suitable for non-swimmers or small children, which can be a plus, depending on your hotel preferences. We didnt like leaving this wonderful resort hotel, that has every amenity and space you want but feels intimate and friendly.

- the terrace and the swimming pool were fantastic. - nice views from the common areas - breakfast was really good and had a lot of variety - location next to the bus station and cable car - the staff was lovely and they let us use the facilities after our checkout time

- the swimming pool closes at 6pm (way too early considering you might want to do some tourism) - cleanliness wasn’t as expected (the floor) - the room was very dated - a lot of noise coming from people flushing in other rooms, quite unexpected for a hotel of this price point. - room facing directly a common terrace shared with other rooms (so you can’t have the curtains open)
