Had a lovely stay here staff were extremly helpfull and always made to feel welcome.
The hotel is about a 5-10 minute drive uphill to Taormina which cost about 15-20 euro in a cab 1.50 on the local bus or the hotel runs a free shuttle a couple of times a day. Hotel was spotless the only down side that I could find was there is no tea/coffee facilties in the rooms and I wasn`t greatly impressed with the dinner time menu or food but with so many great resturants around this was never a problem! A fantistic swimming pool and a basic but good gym. I would definitely stay in this hotel again and the beach in Naxos is one if not the only sandy one that we came across! A beautiful place to visit and Yes I would definitely go back again!!
Traveller's tip on saving a few bucks
Take advantage of the free shuttle bus from the hotel or bus it!it can work out expensive on taxis other wise! And a great resturant in Taormina is Gambero Rosso.

.Quiet location
We cannot fault the cleanliness of this hotel.Most of the staff were sufficiently polite and helpful with the exception of one or two members of the restaurant staff. Dinner in the restaurant was overpriced for what it was almost like canteen food and for all the fuss they make about their restaurant the choice was minimal. Its fairly formal status did not coincide with its food. The courtesy mini bus is ideal to get to Taormina but I found the driver a bit rude, he is ok if you are italian!! I was made to pushover to accomodate a woman who had not booked her seat thus meaning we had no seat belts in the back seat. Do not be fooled that the hotel is in Taormina it is in Giardini Naxos which is tatty with barely any pavements but it is traditional Sicily and is far cheaper than Taormina with so much character. The public bus service is very good and cheap and regularly goes to Taormina and back, do not get ripped off by the taxis. The hotel is up a fairly steep hill so if you have problems with walking you may struggle. On the whole an adequate four star hotel but the area is tatty.
Traveller's tip on dining
Eat in Giardini Naxos it is so much cheaper than Taormina and the food is authentic Sicilan cusine.

perfect short break hotel
I booked becasue of the many favourable reports and these were confirmed by our stay. The room was a reasonable size with a day bed for my 10 year old and a good size bathroom. The breakfast was very substantial - we didn’t eat in the hotel apart from that. Pool was lovely - it was busy of course but it was peak holiday time. Mainly italians here. Free shuttle up to Taormina was very useful.
Although water was lovely at both beaches I would recommend walking the half hour to a sandy beach for comfort. The closer pebble beach was hard on the feet.
