My entire family went to Sicily in late May and we stayed 3 nights at Hotel Kennedy. In all our hotels (and by that time we had been to 5 other hotels in other cities in our Italy trip), this was by far the worst of the lot. When we made the booking, it was with the understanding that there... more

The Kennedy is located in a small city some 10 kilometres from Taormina. The hotel is built in the 70ties and the room’s furniture and equipment is equally old. That being said it is clean and tidy and everything works. Located right on the waterfront the hotel hosts a beautiful view of the Mediterranean sea. There is no beach in... more

Our stay at the Hotel Kennedy was a wonderful experience. The hotel was clean, had beautiful views and our every request was granted and more. All the people on staff were helpful, courteous and easy to speak to. The Kennedy also has two cafes in the immediate vacinity that provided the same excellent service and hospitality. more

This was our second stay at the hotel Kennedy in three years. In addition to having the cleanest rooms with great views it also has the most friendly, helpful staff. On our way to Messina we were talking in the lobby with the owner when someone mentioned that he had to wait several minutes in line at the autostrada exit... more

We returned about a week ago from spending 6 wonderful nights at the Hotel Kennedy in Sant'Alessio. The front desk staff was welcoming and continued to be very accommodating and friendly throughout our stay. The maids did a great job of cleaning our room every day. There was a small refrigerator in our room, as well. Our balcony view of... more

We have just returned from a weeks touring holiday in Sicily and spent 2 nights at the Kennedy hotel, because of the great service received I felt compelled to write a review... This is a great hotel in a good location, right on the sea front at Alesio Siculo (about 8 miles from Taormina). There is very litte in the... more

If you love excellent food and great home made desserts then this is your place to stay.. You will also love all the artifacts that are placed throughout the hotel... and the best is hearing the ocean and night and... more

Although, the hotel has almost completely recovered from being flooded by seawater in February, there are still things to improve on. The rooms are reasonable big, and the ones facing the ocean have spectacular ocean views. However, the decor is old and the seawater has left steal appliances and balcony railings partly covered in rust. Also, the storm that caused... more

My husband and I took a trip to the land of his ancestors, Italy, more specifically, the coast of Sicily. Located right on the Ionian Sea, the Hotel Kennedy was simply lovely. Sailboats, sunsets and sunrises over the water was the view from our deck. Cool breezes in the evening, although the hotel is adequately air-conditioned. There is a nice,large... more
