Fabulous, great staff
Pros:

From the moment we arrived at the hotel everyone was so welcoming, polite and friendly to us.
The view from our room and the pool area , which has been recently fully refurbished was top draw and beyond our expectations.
The breakfasts and restaurant staff couldn’t have been better,
For those looking to visit Taormina ensure you book your stay at the San Pietro, you won’t be disappointed.

Gorgeous Taromina Cliff Hotel
Pros:

Our rooms were upgraded which was a very nice surprise. The rooms were spacious, bright and had a lovely, large balcony overlooking the bay. The concierge was very helpful. The resort in its entirety was beautiful. Housekeeping was excellent. They also had a lovely buffet breakfast.

Cons:

We didn't like the hotel restaurant. It was very overpriced and the food was substandard. The concierge asked us if she could make a reservation at the hotel restaurant for us and since we were tired from the day's activities, we agreed. What she didn't tell us is that we would be the only people in the restaurant. Because the restaurant was empty, the restaurant staff swarmed around us every 2 minutes, even to wipe away a crumb. We were so uncomfortable, we could hardly wait to leave.

When we checked out, they showed us what we owed plus 10% with no description. We had to ask several times what this 10% charge was for and she finally relented and explained it was a tip for the hotel, but that it was optiona. This wasn't at all apparent from how the bill was presented.. I've done my fair share of traveling and staying at 5 star hotels and never have I seen a hotel do such a thing.

Sarebbe auspicabile maggiore trasparenza.
Pros:

La cortesia dello staff, in evidente imbarazzo; ci hanno inviato un omaggio per scusarsi dell'accaduto

Cons:

Ho fatto prenotazione il 9 marzo, con cancellazione gratuita fino al 31 marzo; il 24 marzo mi comunicano che non saranno disponibili Spa e piscina; l'1 aprile mattina, poche ore dopo l'addebito della mia carta di credito, mi telefonano e mi comunicano che non possono ospitarci, e che ci propongono (impongono, visto il preavviso) un "upgrade" presso un altro albergo, anch'esso 5 stelle. Ho trovato il comportamento per niente adeguato (non potevano avvisare prima ?) e poco trasparente (non mi hanno comunicato il prezzo della diversa sistemazione offerta, palesemente inferiore a quanto ho pagato).

We Would Return Without Hesitation
Pros:

I recommend this hotel to everyone planning a trip to Taormina. The hotel is beautiful, quiet, comfortable, and clean. We stayed in an executive suite, and the view from the spacious balcony was breathtaking. The bed was comfortable, and the bathroom was well-appointed with a separate wet closet featuring a large shower. The lighting was subtle with motion-detector night lights in the bathroom, hallway, and closet. Electrical outlets near the desk made charging devices convenient. The staff was attentive and friendly, making us feel at home. They assisted us with tours and transfers and were always ready to take us to the city center and local restaurants. They responded instantly via WhatsApp whenever we reached out to them. Breakfast on the terrace, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, was delicious. We didn't want this experience to end and were sad to check out. We would return without hesitation.

Inhuman.
Pros:

We were due to go to the Grand Hotel San Pietro in July last year.

First of all when we booked our room the hotel took twice the amount from our credit card ( €7548 extra ). We had a right pain actually getting them to repay us. They were totally unhelpful and basically said that we had booked two rooms instead of one. As this was a non refundable rate they didn’t want to repay us! The second €7548 was taken from our account a week after we had booked the room. We actually thought this was fraud, and our bank stated that this should not be done. Took ages to get them to repay us.

Unfortunately i had a mini stroke the week before we were due to go and could not fly on doctors advice. On contacting the hotel they were totally unhelpful and when asked for a credit note or ascertaining whether we could move the dates, again they were totally unhelpful and didn’t even reply to our emails or telephone calls. They ( of course ) did not repay us or moved the dates. Awful.

Another hotel we booked for the same stay could not do enough for us, immediately gave us a credit note ( even though this booking also was non refundable).

We will be visiting this hotel ( Bastio Suites ) in May. We will stay well away from the Grand Hotel San Pietro. Terrible inhuman service.
