We had an ocean front room which made for excellent nightcaps on the balcony. Staff is amazing. The place could use some renos as it is a little outdated. Well kept and clean. If you are looking for a quiet place this place is not for you as you hear people talking till late. We were very happy with this resort as location was the best. We would definitely recommend and we hope to come back. Thank you Hotel Riva Del Sol for an amazing few days. ##### Maria Luisa Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### DIEM 14 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The hotel is close to the beaches, restaurants and shopping areas so it's very convenient. Nice view of the ocean for our hotel room. The wall of the hotel room is quite thin so you can hear your neighbor if they talk or laugh loudly. There is no USB port in the room to charge your phone so it's a bit of a nuisance. Parking at the hotel is small and limted. Otherwise, you have to park in the public parking spot. ##### DIEM Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Rae Marie 5 Jul 2024 Disliked: Amenities Great location with convenient parking. We just stayed in Cefalu for one evening. Property could use updating. We stayed in the beginning of May and the temperature was below May's average, the A/C unit in room was poor. Barely able to cool room off. ##### Rae Marie Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Tana 18 Jun 2024 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Air Conditioning didn't work and the staff was so rude to us like we were crazy and wouldn't give us a fan. Fixed it the day we left! ##### Tana Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Krizia 30 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service My family and I stayed at this property for what was supposed to be 4 nights. We booked this property based on its excellent location and it checked all our boxes. After checking in and getting into our room, we soon noticed that there was no air conditioning in our rooms (something EXPEDIA validated that this hotel had). We asked the front desk and they said it was in the process of being fixed. Night time came, and still no AC. We travelled with our infant (5 months) who slept in a diaper and still screamed all night long because of how uncomfortable he was for 2 nights. We felt terrible for our neighbours who I’m sure did not get much sleep either. We once again asked the hotel what the deal was, this time extremely upset, and it was then that they had told us that the AC runs during the day and turns off at night - and there was nothing they could do about it. At this point, after being lied to, we ended up checking out a night early. The staff, minus a select few, are extremely rude and do not hesitate to lie to their guests. This hotel is very cute and authentic but other than the location, I wouldn’t recommend staying here. ##### Krizia Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Kristina 29 Aug 2022 Disliked: Staff & service, amenities Great location, decent breakfast, but other than that it’s not worth staying here. There is no air conditioning, but they tell you they will “fix it in 10 minutes”. It wasn’t until our last day they finally stopped lying and told us they turn it off at a certain point in the day. We had a baby with us, and I found this to be extremely disrespectful. The lack of air in the room makes for an extremely smelly room as well. It smelt of mould and was impossible to get rid of the smell. The rooms are quite old so I’m sure it was mould. Also - shame on Expedia for advertising the hotel as having air conditioning. The staff is ATROCIOUS - extremely rude and unaccommodating. I organized an airport transfer well in advance bc we needed a baby seat. We confirmed again the day before checkout that the driver would be there. The morning of our flight we were told we did not confirm (even though it’s in writing) and they had to call an emergency taxi that ended up costing us 60 euros more. They sit there and act dumb when they reaLize they are wrong. Absolutely disgusting!!!!!! There are other hotels along this strip which might be worth checking out, otherwise stay off the beach and take the walk daily. This hotel is a 2 star at MAX. ##### Kristina Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vincent 1 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Staff was very friendly and accommodating ##### Vincent Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Fan 29 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Great staff and location.

Das Personal ist überaus bemüht und freundlich. ##### Angie Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kirsten 18 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Sehr schönes Hotel direkt am Strand mit eigenen Parkplatz, saubere Zimmer allerdings mit relativ lauter Klimaanlage die sich nicht ausschalten ließ ##### Kirsten Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Michael 12 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities This is a charming hotel and wanted to love it, great location to the beach and the staff is very attentive. Breakfast was decent, dinner at the restaurant was fantastic. The one downside was the air conditioning, or lack there of. Never could get it below 25.5C which for me was not good as I need a cool room to sleep. If you can't sleep sweating look elsewhare ##### Michael Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Villa Fiorita Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Hotel-Villa-Fiorita.h2538964.Hotel-Information) > > [Isola Bella Infinity Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Isola-Bella-Infinity-Suites.h31731914.Hotel-Information) > > [Acacia Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Campofelice-Di-Roccella-Hotels-Acacia-Resort.h2102724.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Hotel Terre di Eolo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Patti-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Hotel-Terre-Di-Eolo.h17928807.Hotel-Information) > > [Almar Giardino di Costanza Mazara del Vallo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mazara-Del-Vallo-Hotels-Giardino-Di-Costanza-Resort.h1095179.Hotel-Information) > > [Mangia's Torre del Barone Resort and SPA](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sciacca-Hotels-Hotel-Club-Torre-Del-Barone.h1619806.Hotel-Information) > > [Splendid Hotel Taormina](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Splendid-Hotel-Taormina.h1735615.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Miramare](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Miramare.h1207656.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Ariston & Palazzo Santa Caterina](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Hotel-Ariston-Palazzo-Santa-Caterina.h54117.Hotel-Information) > > [Domina Zagarella Sicily](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Flavia-Hotels-Domina-Zagarella-Sicily.h3464060.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Olimpo Le Terrazze](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Letojanni-Hotels-Hotel-Olimpo-Le-Terrazze.h2032211.Hotel-Information) > > [UNA Hotels Capotaormina](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-UNAHOTELS-Capotaormina.h22100.Hotel-Information) > > [The Signature Level at Grand Palladium Sicilia Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Campofelice-Di-Roccella-Hotels-Grand-Palladium-Garden-Beach-Resort-Spa.h42025780.Hotel-Information) > > [Doric Eco Boutique Resort & Spa - Sicily](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agrigento-Hotels-Doric-Boutique-Hotel.h6574636.Hotel-Information) > > [Eurostars Monte Tauro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Eurostars-Monte-Tauro.h913571.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Villa Sonia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Castelmola-Hotels-Hotel-Villa-Sonia.h1498740.Hotel-Information) > > [Nautilus Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Coast-Hotels-Nautilus-Hotel.h36871038.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Palladium Sicilia Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Campofelice-Di-Roccella-Hotels-Grand-Palladium-Sicilia-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive.h2032217.Hotel-Information) > > [VOI Marsa Siclà Essentia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Scicli-Hotels-VOI-Marsa-Sicla-Resort.h3748979.Hotel-Information) > > [Sicilia's Residence Hotel Art & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aci-Catena-Hotels-Sicilias-Residence-Hotel-Art-Spa.h5334773.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Mediterranee](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Hotel-Mediterranee.h1455759.Hotel-Information) > > [VOI Arenella Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Syracuse-Hotels-VOI-Arenella-Resort.h1633512.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ashbee Hotel - The Leading Hotels of the World](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-The-Ashbee-Hotel.h4209909.Hotel-Information) > > [HOTEL VILLA CARLOTTA](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Villa-Carlotta.h1397632.Hotel-Information) > > [Taormina Park Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Taormina-Park-Hotel.h1713485.Hotel-Information) > > [Baglio la Porta di San Gerardo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Vito-Lo-Capo-Hotels-Baglio-La-Porta-Di-San-Gerardo.h11675581.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Villa Daphne](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Giardini-Naxos-Hotels-Hotel-Villa-Daphne.h1766367.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Angela](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Villa-Angela.h1583026.Hotel-Information) > > [Mangia's Pollina Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pollina-Hotels-Pollina-Resort.h20451228.Hotel-Information)
