almost waterfront hotel, (only the train tracks separate you from the sea).the pool is exquisite, the spa wonderful, the funny little basement bar was a joy and the breakfasts were buffet style with handmade coffees supplied by attentive staff.

A large room with balcony looking over the beach, but certainly not a 4 star hotel by any standards. Hotel staff was very aloof and not welcoming at all. They made you feel as if you were doing them a big favor by staying there. Dinner one evening in the hotel was an atrocity. Wait staff was ill prepared and... More

My husband and I traveled throughout Italy and Sicily for 29 days with 10 different hotels, and this was one of our favorites. We enjoyed it immensely during our 3 day stay. A van picked us up at the station in Taormina when we arrived and delivered us at no charge. The lobby was spacious and the staff helped us... More

I don't know where to start with this Hotel from the Rock Hard Bed to the Terrible Service.

The cleanlinees of the whole complex was excellent and overall the staff were friendly and very helpful, sometimes it just depends... More

A lot of people take great delight to complain about a hotel they stay in. I cannot believe a hotel would not try and accommodate them if they felt so strongly about something. Or do you prefer just to complain? My advice is - when you go on holiday, relax and take it easy, don't bring your anger to all... More

We stayed at the hotel for the first week of September in 2012, and we enjoyed it thoroughly. The rooms First off, I’d definitely recommend getting the deluxe/superior rooms. These rooms have balconies that overlook the sea (unless you’re on the ground floor, in which case you have a view of the gardens since the hedge at the end of... More
