Park Hotel Silemi

I have to thank all the staff. They were all friendly and accommodating. The seafront view was priceless. Slept with the balcony doors open every night and listened to the waves. Watched the sun come up in the morning a few times also. Taormina in the background and the town was enjoyable during the evening. The bar staff and the kitchen staff were amazing, the food was excellent. It's difficult to complain about this place. The Sicily my father wanted me to discover.

Beach area very dated - many chairs broken . Lovely balcony size and view

A beautiful, relaxing beachfront hotel just a few minutes away from Taoromina.

At first glance, this hotel is supposed to be four stars, but as you arrive at the building you immediately get the feeling you’re entering from the back of the hotel. The entrance already signals that the place is underfunded and very tired. The hotel has four floors and two small elevators. We got a room on the third floor. When we arrived on our floor, the corridor was dark, and the wall lamps had no light bulbs. The room itself was fairly spacious with a comfortable bed – and that’s about the only positive impression I had regarding the room. The air conditioning worked, but it was so loud that it was impossible to sleep. The next day, we noticed the room was full of ants. The bathroom was relatively clean but very worn out. The plastic shower cabin was patched up with silicone, and the water didn’t drain properly. For this reason alone, I wouldn’t classify this as a 4-star hotel. Breakfast was very basic: one type of eggs (scrambled), cut-up sausages, a small selection of ham, cheeses, fruits, and some sweet pastries. That would have been enough for me, but the fact that a supposed four-star hotel in Italy serves instant coffee with powdered milk is simply unacceptable. On the positive side, the hotel is located directly on the beach, which is convenient. However, the sunbeds were old and broken. The pool was clean and of a decent size. Overall, this hotel is in desperate need of investment. I certainly wouldn’t give it 4 stars – at best, maybe two.

Perfect location and friendly staff
