This is a great hotel. Rooms clean and comfortable. Plenty of toiletries. Restaurant is excellent with a superb breakfast buffet. Reception staff were very helpful at all times. Restaurant staff were very professional. It has a nice private beach and is well located for easy access to the town via the cable car. Due to its position right on the... More

The hotel was very cheesy - think Austin Powers movie, very 60's. That would have been fine if it weren't for the staff. They were rude, dismissive, and never smiled. We were told the first night that we couldn't have dessert with an after dinner drink on the balcony because the piano player was playing. OK, so we went to... More

We booked this hotel through Citailia who had it rated as a 5 star deluxe. We had a Jumior Suite, with Sea View. First you should be aware that a railway track runs through cut and then tunnel close to the Southern end of the hotel and consequently you can hear the trains quite clearly if you are at this...

We stayed at the Sea Palace at the beginning of July 2011. It was a very special holiday and we had requested a special room - we got it! Room 133 had the best view of the beach. On the first night of our holiday we were treated to the most fantastic firework display, thanks to a wedding taking place... More

The hotel is old and tired - my room has inaccessible wall plugs, stains on the carpet. Impossible to get anything to eat between 3.00pm and 7.00pm except for a ham and cheese sandwich. The hotel is full but there is only one person working in their Hyd'or spa so no chance of massage or other treatment unless you're here... More

We stayed at the end of the season so we, and the other guests, were rattling around the hotel like peas in a barrel! The room was fine although the shower screen leaked all over the floor. Towels changed 3 times a day without being asked....great. The sea view from the room could not have been lovelier, especially watching the... More

We were impressed with our room which had a balcony overlooking the sea and the facilities in the hotel were first class. The staff were friendly and helpful. The only downside was the cost of food and drinks. We ate once in the hotel and weren't impressed. However there are some great restaurants close by and we ate breakfast/ lunch/dinner... More

We stayed in the hotel for two nights, we were uprgraded to a suite upon arrival which was nice, our suite did not have sea views as this would have cost extra. Unfortunately the room was very dark with no views at all apart from the massive air conditioning unit for the whole hotel outside our window. We therefore spent... More

This is a beautiful hotel in Mazzaro, so at beach level, which means you have to take the cable car (only a few minutes away) up and down the hillside to Taormina (3 euros 50 each) if you want to get to the town. The hotel is situated on a small but busy narrow road with no pavement so quite... More
