Hellenia Yachting Hotel

The sea view is great. It is a good buffet breakfast although could be more fruit. Decor is slightly tired. Only 3 pillows in room for 2 people. There is a sewage smell in the room so slept with balcony door open, which was ok because Aircon wasn't working.

POSITIVES: The property is right on the beech. A sea view from the terrace was magnificent. Our delux double room on the second floor was light and airy. The bed was comfortable and bed sheets clean. Towels changed daily. We visited in early March so the heating was on, but you can adjust the temperature yourself. The hotel is conveniently located only a couple of minutes away from the bus stop for Taormina. The hotel lobby was pleasant and the hotel grounds clean and tidy. The outside swimming pool was closed but it looked pretty small for such a large hotel. The staff were pleasant. NEGATIVES Sparsely furnished bedroom. An extra chair and a small table would be good. Generally, parts of the building outside need maintenance (crumbling facade on our terrace). Scrambled eggs at breakfast looked and smelled strange. Generally the food quality did not seem to be very good. We stayed at a relatively quiet time but when a new group of guests arrived we could hear the noises, doors closing and showers running at night. The spa was closed for maintenance so not much to do around the hotel. In summary, a pleasant stay and a good value for money but some changes in the upkeep and a better food quality needed.

It was a very nice location

Beach front hotel.

I found the staff at this hotel to be very unfriendly, did not enjoy what they were doing and did not go out of their way in any shape or form to make it a nice stay Our vehicle was vandalized at this site, and the maid service was atrocious

We have enjoyed many years vacationing at the Hellenia and it always first class!

Wow amazing place and great private beach

This hotel has everything you need, but nothing was spectacular. The entire hotel needs a deep clean, the room was dirty and hardly any furniture in it. The breakfast was very mediocre. The location on the beach is nice, but the pool looked too dirty to swim in. I’m assuming the hotel used to be a 4 star, but now I wouldn’t call it that.

Excellent and very charming hotel. Tonino was very helpful and accommodating. Very friendly staff and excellent customer service. Would definitely recommend this place.

Everything was great! The room, the hotel grounds, the pool, the beach… all amazing. The only problem was the bar man at the bar near the pool. He was very rude, unhelpful, and should not be in a customer service role. He let down the entire experience because of his lazy, disinterested attitude.

The breakfast was not good for a 4 stars hotel. The staff was not friendly and also not helpful with the informations regarding activies in the area, such as Etna, vineyards, Taormina and Catania airport situation. The rooms are not very well isolated, you can hear when people open/close their doors. There is a live musician that plays and sings until midnight by the every night that we were there. Impossible to sleep.... Pool closes so early when there is not even a lifeguard nearby...

The Staff at the property felt unfriendly and disturbed by my presence. They were always making comments and did not even Stand up from chairs when talking in person. The bar tender at the swimming pool did not answer questions with good manners. The waiters at breakfast and dinner noisy and always making tables while people were still eating.

Lovely room bed sheets shower all excellent . Brek good and indoor barman v friendly . Have to have sit down lunch needs a snack bar . The car park has a barrier that smashes down on your car we were not impressed with this . Good location for bars and bus to Taormina . Lovely beach and views of Etna . No sunbeds on beach fort end of sea even though weather 25. Loud American tour group sat around pool one afternoon completely oblivious everyone trying to relax.

A great hotel, with great access to the beach, very accommodating staff and a lovely pool area. The breakfast was delicious. The rooms are clean and spacious. All for an incredible price. Highly recommended

Have stayed in this hotel many times and it has always been an excellent experience

I normally stay in the Hilton next door to this hotel but it was closed, so I decided to stay here instead. What a lovely surprise, lovely hotel, fantastic service, on the beach and loads cheaper than the Hilton with breakfast included! Try it, you won’t be disappointed.

Nice, peaceful hotel, perfect location, and the beatiful private beach directly In front of the hotel. I recommend to everyone.

Perhaps a glamourous hotel in its day, it is now a little tired. The shower is very small and bathroom needs updating. Beautiful views from large balcony over pool and beach beyond. This is not a bad hotel, it just feels a little soulless and in a different era.

Good location Dated hotel Rooms fairly poor Swimming pool far too small Male reception staff rude Overpriced Wi if not great

The hotel is from a bygone era. Elegant, warm and welcoming. A definite for families and couples!
