Das Grand im Hotel leider schon verflogen aber die Glanzzeiten von früher lassen sich noch erahnen.
Pros:

Frühstück war solide für den Preis gut. Lage war sehr abgelegen dadurch zwar ruhiger aber weite Wege. Nach 7 Tagen hat man an der Promenade alles gesehen.

Cons:

Das erste Zimmer war im 3. Stock und die Badezimmerabflüße haben unangenehm gerochen. Haben darauf hin ein super neues Zimmer im EG bekommen. Der Pool ist schon sehr renovierungsbedürftig. Die Folierungen lösen sich und schwimmen im Wasser, teilweise Inventar abgebrochen. Das Meer aber direkt vor der Tür und hervorragend zum Schnorcheln geeignet. Aber kein Strand dafür Lavaküste.

Can't be closer to the beach
Pros:

The hotel has a character, the common areas are decorated with vintage furniture. The building is located right at the beach, that couldn't be any closer. It is rocky rather than sandy, but it is beautiful and not dangerous. The hotel also has a pool with sea water which is VERY warm, loved it. There were also enough sunbeds for all. The staff is friendly and helpful, especially the Australian lady at the reception. Our room was spacious, modern and with a small balcony.

Cons:

If you are coming by bus from Catania, then it is still a 25 minutes walk from the bus stop to the hotel (better to take a taxi). Also, if you want to go to Taormina by taxi, Uber is not the best option, they often cancel and don't come, it is better to ask the hotel to book a taxi for you. Usually it was coming within 5-10 minutes, but on Saturday evening we had to wait for more than 30 minutes as there were no taxies around.

There were some strange rules we didn't understand. For example, you can drink coffee outside on the terrace but you can't eat there the food you ordered; you can ask for hot water to have tea but only in your room rather than in any other area; you can't ask for the bottle opener at the restaurant to open your own wine.

Sentirsi coccolati come a casa
Pros:

La gentilezza e la professionalità del personale sempre attento alla cura dell’ospite. Dalla reception, ai camerieri fino alle signore del riassetto camere, sono stati tutti molto gentili e ci hanno fatto sentire a casa. Struttura molto bella, comoda, parcheggio privato, pulita ed il plus le belle calette, il panorama e la bella piscina. Siamo stati davvero bene! Complimenti alle persone che lavorano all’interno.

Tantissimi saluti dalla Puglia

Spero che questa recensione possa essere visionata dal personale….comprendiamo bene cosa possa significare per loro, facendo lo stesso lavoro

Ottima location, colazione da migliorare
Pros:

Posizione molto bella sulle scogliere vulcaniche a pochi passi dal centro di Giardini di Naxos. Camera spaziosa, molto pulita e con un bel terrazzino vista mare. Personale alla reception gentile e disponibile a fornire informazioni.

Cons:

Colazione con bevande erogate dalla macchinetta automatica, dolci senza cartellino descrittivo, non si sa cosa si sta mangiando. Minibar in camera vuoto.
