Peaceful, gorgeous stay near Taormina but away from the crowds
Pros:

This was in an incredible location across from the beach but near to the stairway to Taormina, the bus there and also the gondola. The breakfast was good, the staff nice and we had an amazing view over the water.

Cons:

The rooms were very boring looking. Otherwise everything was GREAT!!

Gut für einen kurzen Aufenthalt in Taormina.
Pros:

Frühstück bis auf den löslichen Kaffee aus der Maschine reichlich und sehr gut. Aber jeden Tag fast identisch. Der Kaffee schmeckt leider gar nicht. Beim Frühstück auch sehr nette und aufmerksame Mitarbeiterinnen. Um das Hotel einige Restaurants, Bus- und Seilbahnstation und kleine Shops, wo man Getränke und belegte Paninis kaufen kann.

Cons:

Im Zimmer und im Bad gibt es wenig Ablagefläche, leider waren im Kleiderschrank auch nur 4 Bügel für 3 Personen und keine Ablageflächen. Für nur einen Koffer gibt es eine Möglichkeit. Leider hatten wir außer dem Badezimmerfenster keine Möglichkeit über Nacht ein Fenster zu öffnen, da unsere Terrasse ebenerdig war und sich nur ganz oder gar nicht öffnen lies. Kippen war nicht möglich. Da auch alle Hotelgäste vom Parkplatz an unserer Terrasse vorbei mussten, hatten wir dort wenig Privatsphäre. Schlimmer war allerdings, dass alle Gäste die Tür zum Hotel zugeschmissen haben. Das war einfach sehr laut. Vielleicht wäre es gut dort mal ein Schild aufzuhängen oder die Tür mit einem Mechanismus zu versehen, dass diese langsamer zufällt. Parkplatz nur über eine sehr enge, kurvige und steile Straße zu erreichen. Dafür dann aber sehr nah an der Rückseite des Hotels. Die kleinen Strände (aus eher staubigen Kieseln) mit den teuren Lidos in der Nähe des Hotels sind nicht schön, dafür kann aber das Hotel nichts.

Beautiful location for a short stay
Pros:

The location of the hotel is superb. we had a room with the view right over the bay and the sunrises there are just beautiful (sidenote -it gets really hot ans sunny in the room in the first half of the day). The personnel was nice and helpful, the Rooms are cleaned daily, bet they may get to yours later in the day. The breakfast is OK, very standard italian, with lots of pastries and coffee, but it was also nice to have the hot options, like scrambled eggs and sausages. Not worth the 12 euro to pay on the spot though, so if you're offered a discount upon booking - go for it.

Cons:

I chose this hotel because of the proximity to the beach and the beach is truly 3 minutes away. BUT it is not the hotel beach, nor it is a proper public beach. The entire shore is cluttered with sunbeds and umbrellas and you are kindly asked to leave unless you're willing to pay 30 euro per person to use it. You're also suggested to use the tiny public beach at the nook which is okay, but too far from the nice diving rocks.

This is not the hotel's fault of course, but it would be nice if this was stated more clear in the description.

The overall feeling of the hotel is that everything is in need of a mild renovation in the end of the season, but it never felt dirty or undermaintained.
