great
Pros:

the best location in taormina, the best pool i have ever had. Pool was MAJESTIC! Great view to white lotus hotel, especially if tou stay at room 24 - the best room

Cons:

That hotel doesnt use their pool, garden, pool restaurant and restaurant potential - there are so many tourist coming by and you dont catch them to stay with for example a aperol offer. Also breakfast area should be transfered to restaurant area.
