The location works well for the beach and nearby restaurants, but reaching Taormina typically requires a bus or short drive. Guests mention extra fees for spa access, towels and beach loungers, plus limited or inconvenient parking. Common areas are attractive and clean, though some notice a strong citrus cleaner smell and occasional lapses in information or bar service. Expect comfortable outdoor spaces, with variable comfort and food quality inside.

Preis-Leistungsverhältnis inakzeptabel. Das Hotel war der letzte Aufenthalt nach längerer Tour über die Insel. Das mit Abstand schlechteste Hotel der Reise! Die Mitarbeiter an der Rezeption waren super freundlich. Das war es aber auch schon. Ausstattung und Ambiente seit den 80er Jahren nicht modernisiert oder renoviert. Zimmer wurden jeden Tag gereinigt - auch die Handtücher gewechselt - der Umweltgedanke kam hier noch nicht an! Der abartige und sehr penetrante Zitronenduft in den Zimmern ist kaum auszuhalten! Das Frühstück war unappetitlich angerichtet und der „Kaffee“, wenn man das Gesöff in Italien überhaupt so nennen darf, kam aus einer Instant- Maschine, furchtbar. Der sogenannte Spa-Bereich (kleiner indoor-Pool und eine alte kleine Sauna) kostet 12€ p. P. und Tag extra. Der Außenpool ist ab dem frühen Nachmittag im Schatten. Die Liegen am privaten Strand kosten ebenfalls zusätzlich 15€ proTag, möchte man sich ein Handtuch zum Strand mitnehmen, kostet es ebenfalls pro Handtuch und Tag 1€. Die Frage nach dem Late-checkout hat dann den Eindruck komplett abgerundet, hier wären für 3h späteres Auschecken in der Nebensaison (Oktober!) weitere 70€ fällig gewesen! Während unseres Aufenthaltes war das Hotel voll mit englischen und amerikanischen Rentnern wohl über eine Reisegesellschaft, das passte zum Ambiente. Zusammenfassend ist zu sagen, wir würden dieses Hotel weder empfehlen noch jemals wieder hier her kommen.

Booket 2 værelser i 5 dage og skulle videre derefter, men valgte at tá 5 dage mere på dette hotel. Super service på hotellet og lækker poolområde og poolbar. Havde udsigt til Etna. Havde bil i 10 dage, nemt udgangspunkt herfra. 5 stjerner herfra

The common areas and photographed sections of the hotel were very beautiful however the rooms were very basic and in need of some TLC. The service around the bar area was very poor with guests obviously inconveniencing the staff. We found some elements of the staff attitude strange. I phoned to ask for additional pillows and was just told no. We were told we were not allowed to park in front of the hotel despite other cars being there and a car parked for the duration on the space we had been asked to be vacate. We felt we just hadn’t been a premium enough customer. The location is ok if you are prepared to walk some way to reach key areas. The breakfast was very poor with very few options. The dining room is quite stuffy and looks like it’s set up for events more than guests. Overall we enjoyed our stay in the area and we found the hotel manageable however spent most of our time away from the facility.

Parking was full and had to drag our luggage from the street below. Vehicles parked illegally blocking the lobby area made it impossible to bring our vehicle close by. Check out at 10:30 am was very inconvenient and too early.

We booked this hotel for one night due to the large swimming pool and on this it delivered. Rooms are now rather dated although communal areas appear to have been modernised. We didn’t like been charged to use a pool towel so if you are planning to visit then take your own Several restaurants within a few minutes walk. Food at breakfast was typical for Sicily.

The hotel was really nice, catered for everything. Sun loungers got taken up fairly quickly. Room was large and nice. Not too much in the area, so need to get a 45 minute bus to Taormina. Hotel bar prices are quite expensive,

Allmänt kan man väl säga att hotellet sett sina glansdagar, lite slitet och bedagat. Inte fyrstjärnigt, snarare trestjärnigt. Matchade inte förväntningarna med tanke på priset. Plus: - Fint poolområde med poolbar. Djup pool. Inte alls mycket folk när vi var där i månadsskiftet juni/juli. - Städningen bra. - Balkong med utsikt mot havet och en glimt av Etna. Vårt resesällskap hade fin utsikt mot Taormina och Castelmola. - AC på rummet (ett måste) - Nära till stranden och restauranger Minus: - Kassa sängar, stenhårda. Och jag brukar inte klaga på sängar i första taget. Som en stenhård bäddsoffa typ. Tråkigt inredda rum. - Frukosten var inte bra. Kaffet var närmast odrickbart, jag övergick till te istället. Kalla överkokta ägg. Inte mycket färsk frukt, mest konserverade persikor mm, annars lite päron, apelsin,plommon men omogna mestadels. Det fanns inte heller någon uteservering så man var tvungen att sitta inne på frukosten. - Ingen vattenkokare på rummet. Tips och råd: - Vill man hyra parasoll på stranden kostar det 15€ per dag, så bättre köpa ett eget parasoll för 10€. - Passa er för maneterna, de bränner rejält och efterlämnade brännskador. - Badskor är att rekommendera. Behövs även vid Isola Bella (Taormina) - Bästa restaurangerna hittade vi på huvudstråket nära hotellet. La Spelonca och Café Sikelia rekommenderas varmt, bra mat, service och prisnivå. Håll er borta från restaurangerna vid Naxosstranden, 20% dyrare och sämre mat! - Besök Taormina, fantastiskt fint!

Rent och fint, välvårdat hotell trots gissningsvis några år på nacken. Fin utsikt, fin trädgård, mkt lyhört och i princip endast ljust bröd och kakor på frukosten (fanns söt yoghurt och söta flingor också). Vi hade barn med oss, men de kändes ärligt talat som de ”var i vägen”

Hotel heeft wel iets charmants maar hier en daar dringt een opfrisbeurt zich op. Spijtig genoeg kan je in de kamers goed horen wat er boven en naast je gebeurd. Ontbijt en diner waren oké maar verwacht hier geen verfijnde keuken. Personeel vriendelijk.

A great hotel with very friendly staff with the added bonus of a view of Etna from our balcony for my volcano obsessed son. Good food throughout the day and a decent pool. Beds were quite hard, which I thought would be a problem, but slept very well. Would recommend.

The common areas and photographed sections of the hotel were very beautiful however the rooms were very basic and in need of some TLC. The service around the bar area was very poor with guests obviously inconveniencing the staff. We found some elements of the staff attitude strange. I phoned to ask for additional pillows and was just told no. We were told we were not allowed to park in front of the hotel despite other cars being there and a car parked for the duration on the space we had been asked to be vacate. We felt we just hadn’t been a premium enough customer. The location is ok if you are prepared to walk some way to reach key areas. The breakfast was very poor with very few options. The dining room is quite stuffy and looks like it’s set up for events more than guests. Overall we enjoyed our stay in the area and we found the hotel manageable however spent most of our time away from the facility.

We booked this hotel for one night due to the large swimming pool and on this it delivered. Rooms are now rather dated although communal areas appear to have been modernised. We didn’t like been charged to use a pool towel so if you are planning to visit then take your own Several restaurants within a few minutes walk. Food at breakfast was typical for Sicily.

The hotel was really nice, catered for everything. Sun loungers got taken up fairly quickly. Room was large and nice. Not too much in the area, so need to get a 45 minute bus to Taormina. Hotel bar prices are quite expensive,

Preis-Leistungsverhältnis inakzeptabel. Das Hotel war der letzte Aufenthalt nach längerer Tour über die Insel. Das mit Abstand schlechteste Hotel der Reise! Die Mitarbeiter an der Rezeption waren super freundlich. Das war es aber auch schon. Ausstattung und Ambiente seit den 80er Jahren nicht modernisiert oder renoviert. Zimmer wurden jeden Tag gereinigt - auch die Handtücher gewechselt - der Umweltgedanke kam hier noch nicht an! Der abartige und sehr penetrante Zitronenduft in den Zimmern ist kaum auszuhalten! Das Frühstück war unappetitlich angerichtet und der „Kaffee“, wenn man das Gesöff in Italien überhaupt so nennen darf, kam aus einer Instant- Maschine, furchtbar. Der sogenannte Spa-Bereich (kleiner indoor-Pool und eine alte kleine Sauna) kostet 12€ p. P. und Tag extra. Der Außenpool ist ab dem frühen Nachmittag im Schatten. Die Liegen am privaten Strand kosten ebenfalls zusätzlich 15€ proTag, möchte man sich ein Handtuch zum Strand mitnehmen, kostet es ebenfalls pro Handtuch und Tag 1€. Die Frage nach dem Late-checkout hat dann den Eindruck komplett abgerundet, hier wären für 3h späteres Auschecken in der Nebensaison (Oktober!) weitere 70€ fällig gewesen! Während unseres Aufenthaltes war das Hotel voll mit englischen und amerikanischen Rentnern wohl über eine Reisegesellschaft, das passte zum Ambiente. Zusammenfassend ist zu sagen, wir würden dieses Hotel weder empfehlen noch jemals wieder hier her kommen.

A great hotel with very friendly staff with the added bonus of a view of Etna from our balcony for my volcano obsessed son. Good food throughout the day and a decent pool. Beds were quite hard, which I thought would be a problem, but slept very well. Would recommend.

Cool hotel, a bit away from the main part of Nexos but still enough around.. I was there for a work trip and it was pretty stress free. The staff were amazing, definitely one of the more standout aspects of the stay at this hotel. I had a car and it was pretty straightforward parking.

Location
Convenient for the beach and nearby dining, and a good base for Etna and Taormina excursions. Taormina town is not walkable and may require a long bus ride; nearby streets by overflow parking can look untidy.

Allmänt kan man väl säga att hotellet sett sina glansdagar, lite slitet och bedagat. Inte fyrstjärnigt, snarare trestjärnigt. Matchade inte förväntningarna med tanke på priset. Plus: - Fint poolområde med poolbar. Djup pool. Inte alls mycket folk när vi var där i månadsskiftet juni/juli. - Städningen bra. - Balkong med utsikt mot havet och en glimt av Etna. Vårt resesällskap hade fin utsikt mot Taormina och Castelmola. - AC på rummet (ett måste) - Nära till stranden och restauranger Minus: - Kassa sängar, stenhårda. Och jag brukar inte klaga på sängar i första taget. Som en stenhård bäddsoffa typ. Tråkigt inredda rum. - Frukosten var inte bra. Kaffet var närmast odrickbart, jag övergick till te istället. Kalla överkokta ägg. Inte mycket färsk frukt, mest konserverade persikor mm, annars lite päron, apelsin,plommon men omogna mestadels. Det fanns inte heller någon uteservering så man var tvungen att sitta inne på frukosten. - Ingen vattenkokare på rummet. Tips och råd: - Vill man hyra parasoll på stranden kostar det 15€ per dag, så bättre köpa ett eget parasoll för 10€. - Passa er för maneterna, de bränner rejält och efterlämnade brännskador. - Badskor är att rekommendera. Behövs även vid Isola Bella (Taormina) - Bästa restaurangerna hittade vi på huvudstråket nära hotellet. La Spelonca och Café Sikelia rekommenderas varmt, bra mat, service och prisnivå. Håll er borta från restaurangerna vid Naxosstranden, 20% dyrare och sämre mat! - Besök Taormina, fantastiskt fint!

There is no doubt that this place is chique. The grounds are beautiful once you get past the gate and the feel is definitely upscale. We were only there for one night before heading in to Taormina (about a 10 minute drive, so know you wont be walking there). There are plenty of places you can walk to and onsite food. The menu looks pretentious with a one-price for 3 courses setup, though the food was fairly average tasting and didn't reflect the sicilian culture much. It wasn't clear as to where some of the ammenities were (primarily i missed out on the hot tub that was part of the reason I chise this place). The pool and pool area was gorgeous. The room was comfortable. Overall, a pleasant and beautiful experience. Just make sure to ask questions, because information isn't necessarily readily available

Hotel heeft wel iets charmants maar hier en daar dringt een opfrisbeurt zich op. Spijtig genoeg kan je in de kamers goed horen wat er boven en naast je gebeurd. Ontbijt en diner waren oké maar verwacht hier geen verfijnde keuken. Personeel vriendelijk.

Rent och fint, välvårdat hotell trots gissningsvis några år på nacken. Fin utsikt, fin trädgård, mkt lyhört och i princip endast ljust bröd och kakor på frukosten (fanns söt yoghurt och söta flingor också). Vi hade barn med oss, men de kändes ärligt talat som de ”var i vägen”

The common areas and photographed sections of the hotel were very beautiful however the rooms were very basic and in need of some TLC. The service around the bar area was very poor with guests obviously inconveniencing the staff. We found some elements of the staff attitude strange. I phoned to ask for additional pillows and was just told no. We were told we were not allowed to park in front of the hotel despite other cars being there and a car parked for the duration on the space we had been asked to be vacate. We felt we just hadn’t been a premium enough customer. The location is ok if you are prepared to walk some way to reach key areas. The breakfast was very poor with very few options. The dining room is quite stuffy and looks like it’s set up for events more than guests. Overall we enjoyed our stay in the area and we found the hotel manageable however spent most of our time away from the facility.

The room was comfortable. Overall, a pleasant and beautiful experience. Just make sure to ask questions, because information isn't necessarily readily available

Personnel sympathique, grande piscine ouverte assez tard ce qui est appréciable. Restaurant aussi très bon et l'extérieur est joli. La literie est confortable.

Fint hotel som klart kan anbefales. Fantastisk pool samt poolområde, med masser af solsenge og hyggelig bar. Personalet var meget venlige og hjælpsomme. Morgenmaden var middel. Maden i restauranten var ikke noget at råbe hurra for. Vi spiste der en aften og det var nok. Pizzaerne ved poolen var til gengæld virkelig gode. Hotellet ligger med kort afstand til strand, restauranter og lille købmand. Vi vender gerne tilbage.

Good but no coffee making facilities in any room nor in the rest of the hotel, until breakfast was available . Food excellent choices and more variety and quality than for those on an organised trip.

The common areas and photographed sections of the hotel were very beautiful however the rooms were very basic and in need of some TLC. The service around the bar area was very poor with guests obviously inconveniencing the staff. We found some elements of the staff attitude strange. I phoned to ask for additional pillows and was just told no. We were told we were not allowed to park in front of the hotel despite other cars being there and a car parked for the duration on the space we had been asked to be vacate. We felt we just hadn’t been a premium enough customer. The location is ok if you are prepared to walk some way to reach key areas. The breakfast was very poor with very few options. The dining room is quite stuffy and looks like it’s set up for events more than guests. Overall we enjoyed our stay in the area and we found the hotel manageable however spent most of our time away from the facility.

The staff and general ambience of the hotel was very nice but we were disappointed with the Shower and in room facilities. No coffee or tea and limited water. Shower definitely
