We traveled through southern Italy for 10 days and Baia Taormina was by the best hotel we stayed at. Hotel common areas and rooms are beautifully decorated. Rooms are big and have great views of the coast. Pools are great. Parking is free. Staff is very friendly and happy to help. All in all, I would definitely recommend this hotel.

We stayed for 4 nights as part of an escorted tour organised by Riviera Travel. The reception area is not the most inviting place and the bar which is close by is dark and uninviting until evening when the lights go on. Our room (405) was spacious and led to a balcony with excellent views of the bay. The bathroom/wetroom... More

Very friendly staff, especially in the bar, the shuttle drivers and the reception. Hotel not near other attractions so if you want to leave and visit somewhere else you need to take the shuttle bus.

Our room was basic but of good size with a large bathroom, mini bar, king sized, comfortable, beds, balcony and sea views cross the bay.

We stayed here for four nights as part of a tour organised by Riviera Travel. We liked the hotel's elevated position giving good views over to Taormina and to mainland Italy. The room (502) was clean, quiet, spacious and the bed was comfortable if a little "firm". The bathroom was a good size but no bath (corner shower). The breakfast... More

I have been meaning to write for months and seeing the review below, I knew I had to give a more balanced view. This hotel is not new but we found it to be very well kept, attractive and welcoming.
