"Brand new hotel, with modern and big rooms. Very clean, with kind service and good breakfast. Close to the highway.
The only bad point is that to reach a restaurant a car is needed"

"We arrived at 1pm and were told our room would be available at 2pm. Then more guests arrived and they too were told their rooms would be available at 2pm. I mean, you can't have 3 rooms all done at the same time so if you don't want folks checking in before 2pm, just say so.
We requested help with our luggage as we didn't want to drag our bags from the parking lot to the reception (a few mins walk on very bumpy, cobbled grounds), and had to wait a good 15mins for the "bellboy" to show up, after asking reception a few times for an update. Apparently, their luggage trolley was in use so the bellboy just dragged our luggage anyway. Turns out, their staff was using the one luggage trolley this big resort had!
We returned at 5pm to check in, and while our room was ready, no one bothered to move our luggage into the room. We picked them up ourselves and dragged them through the resort and up to the second floor. I should note we had to go into the backroom to find our own luggage too since the staff was super helpful [insert sarcasm]!
The room was waaay below average. It looked like something from a cheap saudi prince mansion from the 90s, only the walls were bare, the furniture cheap and the bathroom... oh gawd the smell of bleach was horrible! It was old, with grey stains on the tiled floors and I used that shower out of desperation only!
The whole resort screams wannabe luxury in the lobby and reception and stops there. Do not recommend!"
"Room was clean, hotel was nice. Views were amazing. It’s outside of the town, you have to take a cable car up to Taormina. Very expensive for what you get. Very very noisy."
"The hotel is in a lovely spot, overlooking the sea, but there is very little around and about…everything seemed to be shut (end of May). The rooms are nice, if a bit dated, and the pool area is clean and well kept. Only thing was the noise from the building work on site meant you couldn’t really relax easily on the sunloungers. Food was lovely - great breakfast."
"We had a great stay here for 3 nights. The pool area is lovely and the staff were all really helpful and friendly. We didn’t have the breakfast but we had snacks at the pool which were great.
The hotel is a little way out of town in a quiet area so it’s around €17 - €22 each way in a taxi inc a tip to get into the centre of town by the elephant statue. There’s a bus stop around 10 mins walk away and a Tabacchio near there to get your bus ticket.
I would also recommend you take the hotel up on their helpful offer to arrange your airport transfers as their option is about €10 cheaper than flagging a cab at the airport.
For the price of the hotel and the lovely pool it’s worth being a little way out of town."
"When we first checked in the girl that was helping me said our room was not ready, then our friends who checked in next got their room, then the next friends got their room, then all of a sudden our room was ready and supposedly we were given a upgrade for the wait. I thought it was odd as others in our group got their rooms, upon check in.
Anyhow, the other girl at the counter, Alessandra, I believe her name was, was amazing. She gave us, restaurant ideas and made a reservation for the 6 of us at a place called Bella.. it was great and she also booked us a car for the airport the next morning. She was very nice and professional, with personality. Not like the gal that checked us in.
Our room had a view of a roof . Was not a bad room. It was clean and had a decent shower. Was a stop over for the night before returning home. Plus, we had bathrobes and slippers and my sister appreciated that. Over all it was a good location to get out, shop, eat and enjoy. Thank you. The breakfast was nice as well."
