Spectacular views
Pros:

Set up on a cliff with a spectacular view this hotel was beautiful. Facilities, breakfast and staff were all very good. We had dinner on the terrace which was such a beautiful setting and food was great. Pool was a great way to cool off.

Cons:

The air conditioning in the rooms was not great. It was a very hot period and the air con just could not handle it, so sleep was uncomfortable. Lots of walking up hill to get there which we didn't mind but some might not like that.

Pros:

Beautiful surroundings and a convenient location near the bus station. Great breakfast!

Cons:

However, the staff could have been more welcoming and attentive. My room was close to the entrance, and the loud door slamming repeatedly disturbed me. I would have requested a room change, but I arrived very late at night with my young child and was too exhausted.

Pros:

La ubicación, sin duda, a un paso de la estación de autobuses, genial si no dispones de coche. También las instalaciones y el personal, muy amable y atento.

Alt i alt er vi strålende fornøyd.
Pros:

Jeg likte utsikten og balkongen, personalet, frokosten, bassenget, beliggenheten og alt. Vi storkoste oss.

Cons:

Jeg syns poolbaren kunne vært oppgradert. Jeg syns også poolpersonalet burde ta inn håndklærne som opptar alle de ubrukte solsengene da det ikke var nok senger/parasoller til alle, og enkelte gjester la håndklærne sine på solsengene og forlot solsengen i timesvis eller også resten av dagen.

Αριστη διαμονή στην Ταορμινα
Pros:

Υπέροχο ξενοδοχείο με θέα και καλή τοποθεσία, 8 λεπτά με τα πόδια από την παλιά πόλη. Μας έγινε αναβάθμιση σε δωμάτιο με μπαλκόνι και θέα. Τα στρώματα και μαξιλάρια ήταν πολύ άνετα. Το πρωινό καταπληκτικό με πολύ μεγάλη ποικιλία. Ωραία μεγάλη πισίνα και ξεχωριστό jacuzzi.

Cons:

Τα μόνα αρνητικά ότι δεν έβρισκες εύκολα ξαπλώστρα στην πισίνα γιατί είχε πολύ κόσμο, ότι η πισίνα ήταν παντού πολύ βαθιά, και ότι ο χώρος στάθμευσης ήταν λίγο μακριά από το ξενοδοχείο και κόστιζε 25€ τη μέρα.
