Location was beautiful. Property was outstanding. Room was stunning. Definitely 5 star elements. Be mindful that the hotel is on the water in Capotaormina and the town of Taormina is quite a hike uphill to get to. Hotel offers free shuttle service, but it's not continuous (gaps out for a few hours after lunch for some reason) and you need to reserve a seat there and back. The public bus is very convenient to take you there, but you need to be mindful of what stop to go to when you leave the hotel (there are two). Use the front desk, although they aren't as helpful as one would expect from this type of property. Even though this was the most 'luxury' of the hotels on our trip (5 hotels), the breakfast wasn't up to par.

Muy lindo hotel. Nos tocó una habitación preciosa con una vista espectacular. Vale la pena hospedarse en este hotel, aunque no es muy barato. Tiene su propia playa y se puede bajar al mar desde el área de la piscina también. Creo que es más útil, porque la playa es de piedras y es muy complicado caminar por ella. En general un sólido 9 de 10.

Very beautiful and comfortable Hotel! One of the best!

Excelente opção de estadia, estrutura de piscina e praia são fantásticas.

A lot to love about this place. Helpful service. Epic views. Wonderful breakfast. The renovated rooms on the 7th floor are excellent. There’s also shuttle service and car concierge on site. Some negs: Rocky beach, getting into Taormina requires some commute planning (remember to take pictures of the shuttle schedule and book in advance).

Very nice view from hotel. Great pool and nice cave beach

The views from everywhere in this hotel are undeniably beautiful. However, the rooms and general upkeep are mediocre at best. The food is absolutely horrendous and overpriced. At this price point, we expected much better. Would not recommend.

Breakfast menu was fresh every day with huge options. Our room had a water view as well.

Veldig bra frokost med ferskpresset appelsinjuice, lokale og standard retter og stort nok utvalg. Bra room service, bra service i alle ledd. Nydelig sjøutsikt fra rommet. Veldig fine fellesområder, grotte-stranden var nydelig, bassengområdet, lunsj restauranten. Transport til Taormina, flyplass transport. Personalet var høflige hele veien og så ut til å trives i jobben. God mat.

Has such potential but poorly run; staff don't explain shuttle until you learn the hard way (must be booked in the morning), gone all day and room not cleaned by 3pm, parking lot miscommunications, poor check-in. Service generally clumsy. But beautiful views, pool, and private beach.

Lovely hotel overall, and we were pleased to be given one of the newly renovated bedrooms on the second floor. The room was spacious with a fantastic sea view, which made for a great first impression. Unfortunately, our room was interconnected, and this significantly affected our stay. We had the misfortune of very noisy neighbors returning in the early hours, and due to the connecting door, we could hear everything — conversations, showering, even toilet use. This made it difficult to get a good night’s sleep and was quite disappointing. Dinner at the main restaurant was acceptable: the service was excellent, but the food itself was fairly average and not particularly memorable. At check-out, we mentioned the issue about the noise and lack of sleep to the receptionist. While they thanked us for the feedback regarding the new rooms, nothing further was done to address our concerns, which was a bit disheartening. This hotel has great potential and could be a truly lovely place to stay. However, I would strongly recommend avoiding interconnected rooms unless you’re comfortable hearing your neighbors in detail.

Great location. Easy access to Taormina via the shuttle bus. Fantastic view of the sea and mount Aetna.

Hotel todo reformado. Quarto super confortável, vista maravilhosa… café delicioso..

Lugar limpo, equipe ótima, vale a pena

Great hotel and attentive staff made our trip comfortable and memorable

This property has the most amazing views of the Ocean. The pool area is so unique how it is literally carved out of the side of the mountain. Loved the pool, great proximity to Taormina! Probably our favorite spot on our Italian vacation.

Great hotel that exceed our expectations. Photos don’t do it justice. Amazing beach and pool area (White Lotus famous). Views from the room with private patio and from the restaurant at breakfast and dinner were to die for. With Etna looking there too was really cool. Great gym and underground parking too.

toujours merveilleux la vue la grotte l ambiance

Suff is very helpful
