Hotel Bel Soggiorno

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were very helpful and always gracious, a big plus and a credit to the management."

Taormina Palace Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed one night. Clean nice room with view of water and great staff. Got 1 hour massage/only okay but I was stressed from long drive so was good enough/nice that they had as option. Had great breakfast buffet /also get eggs to order/omelet (worth 20 euro so don’t waste time and get to sightseeing). Since needed parking this hotel having 2 parking options was a key factor for me choosing this hotel. Good location to shopping. Had car and used their private parking which was great think was 20-30 euro for night/book in advance have only a few spots maybe 5 think. Note: Be prepared for very busy street surrounding hotel/loud motorbikes/busses. I had to drive around hotel a few times to get into private single car garage after dropping off luggage (cars whip around road so can’t safely back up/really need to be careful crossing streets there or exiting parking lot with car). Is also a public garage next door but got there late in day so public lot was full. Plenty of open spots in morning which we did next morning when went to beach via cable car (highly recommend doing). Next day took cable car (right nearby) fun to local island beach. Ordered great pizza at beach with chairs/umbrella which have to rent. I brought snorkel mask/crystal clear water. Fair amount of fish within 30-40 ft from shore/calm water. I saw a cool striped eel and some maroon striped parrot fish and many other fish. Watched local diver catch multiple small squid with hook tool and spear fish/really cool."

Hotel Villa Belvedere

10/10 Excellent

"The room (off-site) & linens were very clean. Staff very friendly and helpful. I’d recommend staying in the main building, more attractive and close to the pool, breakfast buffet and beautiful gardens. Staff helped me book boat tours and airport transportation. I’d recommend this hotel and I’d stay here again, great location too"

Mazzarò Sea Palace - The Leading Hotels of the World
