This hotel was built with a great vision. It is not quite living up to that vision but it is…read morenonetheless a fun place to stay with largely helpful staff. Pros: location (10 minutes from Taormina by car and so more restful), sea platform, comfortable beds, swimming pools, nearby beaches and Godfather sets. Cons: dining room (expensive and not great), wobbly infrastructure (eg air con), overall needs better upkeep. We much enjoyed our time there and wanted to thank Marylena at reception in particular for her welcome and great advice.
