We chose a 4 star holiday in Sicily with Newmarket Holidays. A very poor company and a hotel which is certainly not a 4 star hotel. Bird poo all over the window cill, never cleaned up, a shower that was so small I could not raise my hands to wash my hair. There were many other problems like the fire... More

Before people read this, please note that my review is based on a comparison of four 4 star hotels which I stayed in in Sicily recently. By staying in other four star hotels in Sicily, I am in a better position to make a comparison. I notice from the reviews below that people opting to write their review in English... More

We have been in this hotel for 4 nights, first of all surely its not a 4 star hotel because it does not even reach this criteria, i would say 3 star hotel fits perfectly. rooms need refurbishment. No kettle and nothing was found in rooms. Wifi is only reachable from the lobby area. The worst was the breakfast whereby... More

Everything was fine, a normal middle hotel, quite clean and comfortable. You get what you pay for, and its very cheap even in top season. But definetely NOT 4 star hotel! They have a wrong bus timetable at the reception - during my stay a lot of people missed the bus to Taormina because of it. Recheck at Recanati busstop.

I was at this hotel in May 2012 on a family vacation dedicated to the seniors holidays. I don’t understand how authorities allow them to display four stars, when it is obviously it barely reaches two stars. Exterior and interior appearances are seriously degraded, the baths have 70’s features, mattresses are overused, and the pool and pool area are not... More

We visited Sicily for 6 nights after 4 nights in Venice. This hotel was such a disappointment. The photographs and location guide online made it seem like a wise choice, decent value. In fact, the hotel was miles from Taormina and miles from decent restaurants. We walked every night to the nearest civilisation which was around 3 miles away (lovely... More

Given a late time -6.00 pm- to check in; room given not inside main hotel building,nearly in parking bay of nextdoor petrol station. Room not up to any standards of a 4 star hotel-very shabby ,poor lighting,disgusting bathroom ,cracked tiles,pipes jutting out of wall,cheap towels. Paid for buffet H/B but given very poor chioce of breakfast and set menu for... More

Stayed here with friends for three nights. Definitely not a four star hotel, got much better places in Sorrento and Rome for same price. Old grubby decor, poor quality towels (more like tea towels than bath towels), noisy air conditioning that didn't work properly, parking is at unsecure petrol station beside hotel, restaurant is average and bar is just a...
