Très bel hôtel avec belle vue mer pour ceux qui choisisse cette option, le personnel est sympathique mais dommage qu'il soit quasiment vide (très peu de clients avec nous ce qui rendait le séjour à l'hôtel moins vivant) et petit bémol pour le petit déjeuner qui n'est pas assez varié

Hotel un po’ attempato ma sempre valido, bella posizione, piscina e mare molto godevoli, rapporto qualità-prezzo veramente eccellente. Il servizio bar e il ristorante sono da migliorare, poca scelta, qualità media e prezzi elevati. Peccato perché il personale è gentile e disponibile

Una buona soluzione per qualche giorno di relax, hotel fronte mare e con una grande piscina infinity spettacolare, buono anche il ristorante in terrazza vista mare. Il weekend è molto affollato, molte famiglie con bambini e musica a volume un po’ troppo alto

we stayed 5 nights. Although it seems that the hotel is not full, the receptionist refused to give us an upgrade to see view room. Room was comfortable, but bed is not very comfortable. On the contrary to the reception, the staff in the bar and on the terrace with the pool was very friendly and helpful, especially the life guard boy(I don't know his name) who gave us many tips of local interest, where to eat as a local, what is worth visiting, where to shop... If you plan to stay there you need a car to explore the area from Taormina to Catania, and further south to Syracusa, Notto...
