The staff was very friendly and helpful, particularly the lifeguards and pool bar staff. The room was as described. We had a balcony and our view of the sea was gorgeous.
Guest Review: View was super - directly across from Isola Bella. Location was nest to a very nice little restaurant (Ai Paladini) and easy walk to the beach and to the Funivia (cable car) to central Taormina.
Guest Review: Maybe "Everything was perfect" sounds too hackneyed, but it was really it - perfect. I personally prefer not-too-soft beds and they were exactly it. Stuff - very kind and helpful, location - very good. There is also additional entrance to the hotel (garden) from the center of town which is very useful. The see-view from our small balcony was amazing.
Guest Review: Fabulous view, amazing pool, stylish rooms design. The host is very pleasant and helpful. It was a hit we found this place and felt the Sicilian vibe.
