Beach Resorts in Mazzaro

"The Hotel is in a great location, right on the beach and a short distance (approx 15-20 mins walk) from the more lively area of Giardini Naxos. There are numerous excellent restaurants and shops within yards of the hotel. The bus stop is just around the corner with good transport links to nearby towns. The hotel was wonderful; great facilities, with enormous, traditionally decorated, very comfortable bedrooms, while other areas of the hotel were more contemporary but equally comfortable. Breakfast was excellent with a huge choice. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. An added joy was Mount Etna right there in the background! This holiday and hotel exceeded our expectations and we had absolutely no complaints."

"This was the most wonderful resort my husband and I have ever stayed at. The staff was incredible, the hotel is gorgeous and the property is unlike anything in the world. Isola Bella was swimmable! We never stay anywhere twice, but are making an expectation here. We cannot wait to stay again! "

"Amazing hotel! Great location and sweet staff"

"Amazing stay. The room and property were gorgeous and the view was even better. It was a short walk to restaurants and the main pedestrian street in Taormina. Just far enough away to be relaxing but close enough to be convenient. I highly recommend staying here!"

"Wonderful location and service"

"Great hotel away from main town. To get to town you need to walk along road and then take cable car, or taxi. Water to swim is amazing, so clear and clean, I would recommend booties as is small stones which can be a little uncomfortable. Our room with balcony was large, shower and bathroom were small but worked. Breakfast was a good range however didn't change except for cake selection. Restaurant at hotel had plenty of options and was a beautiful setting. Loved our stay here."

"We loved this hotel. It's in a beautiful location, and a short walk to the cable car which takes you into Taormina/Corso Umberto (shops, restaurants, exploring, people watching etc). The staff, concierge, service in all areas of the hotel and cleanliness was outstanding. Amazing breakfast selection, great restaurant and amusing entertainment in the evening. Nice pool area, and sun deck, although to get into the sea, you need 'swimming shoes' as the bottom is rocky. The gym could have been bigger, it's in a glass cube which gets the sun very early. It was over 30 degrees at 7.30am which made the workout harder that it should have been! Great view though! There's train line behind the hotel, which I hadn't seen mentioned in other reviews, although it didn't impact us, as it was relatively quiet. Overall we loved this hotel, would definitely recommend and hope to return in the future. "

"I stayed at this hotel for 5 nights with my older teenage son at the end of June and we had a fantastic time. It's very well located with a 3 minute walk into Taormina town plus a cliff side setting with amazing views down to the sea, across to mainland Italy and the wider area around Taormina. Our room was a bit of a squeeze but they accommodated our request for two single beds, rather than a double, and it came with a fabulous view of the sea. The air con was highly appreciated due to the high temperatures and the room met all our basic needs. It was slightly dated but did not spoil the enjoyment of our holiday plus the beds were very comfortable and we slept well. Breakfast was included and was buffet-style which suited us perfectly. The staff were mainly very helpful and polite - Giuseppe on the pool bar was excellent, all the reception staff were super helpful and polite, plus Nancy in the dining room was always smiling and happy to make me fresh coffees in the morning! They all spoke good English which we were thankful for. We ate at the hotel restaurant once while we there, it was empty apart from us but the food was delicious and the service was efficient and friendly. I would happily stay at the Splendid hotel again, if I'm ever lucky enough to be back in Taormina, and would highly recommend it based on all the above plus the reasonable cost. "

"The location is great, you are directly across from the beach. The bed linens are of a high count with excellent stitching. Staff is friendly, helpful and professional. The breakfast buffet is a masterpiece! Lastly, the room and hotel is very clean! No dust or grunge in corners. It is a well maintained hotel."
