Great hotel on the beach

Lovely hotel, great pool but not accessible for elderly. Lovely staff. Very good free bus service into Taormina which is helpful as there isn’t a lot of restaurants easily accessible from the hotel (other than the hotel restaurant).

The location is the best to enjoy the beach of Taormina. It is like living a dream. The free shuttle service means you can enjoy Taormina centro any time of the day or night. The rooms are comfortable and the breakfast is of an exceptional level. The staff are so friendly and accommodating and I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone wanting a beachside stay in Taormina.

Property was well located on the beach just outside of Taormina. A shuttle bus was available if you wanted to get to the city. Beach club was included in the tariff and well appreciated. Staff were immaculate in restaurants, reception and housekeeping. It felt like a 5 star hotel. I could not fault this resort.

Resort style hotel

Yes the hotel is dated - but everything else over compensates ! The hotel is genuine beach side with a lovely beach area and pool area for guests. Tranquil garden setting that is so relaxing. Every room has their own garden or balcony and rooms are spacious. The staff were amazing ! The free shuttle to Taormina at all hours is so handy

Hotel was clean and room was modern and well appointed. The staff accommodated a room change to the side of hotel with a view on night 2 which made a big difference. The beach is great - quiet and relaxing. Breakfast good quality buffet style. Beach bar food was not the best standard or variety but plenty of nice lunch options at places along the beach from the hotel. The minibus service to/from Taormina was really good - took the hassle and cost out of taxis.

The staff are super nice. Property is nice, not in the center of the action which is what we liked. Its real easy if you have a car to use as a home base. We originally booked if for only 2 nights and ended up staying for 4. Breakfast is nice. The beach is rocky so dont expect to be doing the backstroke there. Pool is very nice as well. For some reason the elevators and the bathrooms have a funky smell. No idea what or why. But all in all, would without hesitation go back there. Front desk staff couldnt be nicer.

The hotel was a distance from Taormina town but the shuttle service was excellent, thank you Salvatore & co. The reception was well tended and the reception staff were always available to answer questions and recommend good restaurants in town. The room had a great view of the sea. The room was clean thanks to the team of Chambermaids. The food in the restaurant was delicious and the bar was fully stocked. The staff, especially Adriano, Gian Luca and Fabrizio were very accommodating and always found time to chat with customers. Will definitely go back one day

The hotel is very simple. Pros: hotel is clean. Rooms are cleaned every day. The staff is fantastic and extremely welcoming. Beach is stunning, probably best beach in whole Sicily. Shuttle to Taormina is great. Reception staff is fantastic. Cons:without car you can’t walk anywhere. Parking is difficult. There’s problem with lunch with very limited options especially for children. No store or shop in hotel territory. Room is very small. No room in closet for 2 people.

Weird cruise ship vibe!

The private beach was great and was really the only reason you’d stay at this hotel. Although you got harassed by people selling stuff who wouldn’t take no for an answer and you need to pay 3 euro for a towel. The beach bar had VERY limited food options and there isn’t a bar by the pool (perhaps this hotel is pitched at elderly cruise ship types who don’t want cocktails by the pool). Breakfast was below average. Mostly pastries and cakes that were frozen. Issues with the Wi-Fi connection. Shuttle bus - limited service, generally on time but it does leave early sometimes. The driver also dropped a lady who could barely walk at the top of the hill in the dark and I asked if he could drop her at the door which was ignored by him and then he drove down past the door to turn around anyway. Very random shuttle bus service as some nights they would drop you at the door. It you take a taxi to town it’s 20 euro. Definitely can’t walk into town. It’s over 4 kms and you can’t actually walk on parts of the road so it would be unsafe to do so. Overall the hotel was average. Guess it depends what you are looking for in your stay. I definitely booked the wrong hotel.

We loved the room, especially the big bed and the balcony overlooking the sea. Hearing the big waves crash in was magical! Breakfast was very good too. The only reason really I’ve marked it down was an incident on our first night there, Saturday 19th October. We had arrived very tired and were planning an early-ish night so had switched off the light around 10pm. However at this time the music from the event outside started and was very loud. We spoke to reception and they agreed to shut the door to the venue but said that it wouldn’t change the volume much. They told us this was common on a Saturday night and that the music would go on to midnight. We retuned to the room but the music was if anything louder and the door had clearly not been shut. We then asked to speak to the duty manager and Michel Strienza came to talk to us and his attitude from the outset was aggressive and belligerent and he was rude to us, telling us that the hotel was full (when it clearly wasn’t), lying that the music wasn’t loud and it would only be half an hour until it finished, in direct contradiction to his desk staff. He was the very definition of arrogance and rudeness before he stormed off. It is one thing to have music playing on a Saturday night, but it should be at least advertised to guests that it’s happening especially as the hotel website is all about having a relaxing break. It is a completely different thing to be rude to your guests. He needs some extra customer service training.

Disappointing overall experience

We were very excited to stay in Caparena hotel before we arrived. The hotel seemed very nice in the pictures. The reality was something else. For a room that's over 200€ / night, it was a huge disappointment. The room was very outdated. The air conditioner was either non-existing or too cold. The main source of light was broken. The bed was uncomfortable. The bathroom flodded when taking a shower and it looked like a hospital bathroom. There was no view from the room and it was really dark. The hotel itself was pretty okay and well managed, especially the outdoors. However we were a bit amazed about the quality of the beach bar, with no table service and salads served from take-away bowls. We chose not to dine at the hotel because of this. However we did go for a drink and dessert to the hotel restaurant later and were greeted with arrogance and no desire to serve us. The waiters weren't friendly and ignored us most of the time. Breakfast was pretty sad for this level of hotel, with not too many options. We were prepared to give all this feedback on spot, but nobody cared or asked how we've enjoyed our stay, not even at the check out. The hospitality wasn't there. Only positive things were the private beach and free shuttle service to Taormina. By far the most underwhelming hotel experience we've had in Sicily, wouldn't recommend with these prices unfortunately.

Tres bon hôtel mais restaurant très médiocre

Tres bel établissement, parking très apprécié, bon petit déjeuner avec un choix varié. En revanche le restaurant de l’hotel est particulièrement médiocre : au dîner à la carte poisson et poulpe surgelés, sauce et accompagnement manifestement chauffés à la va vite au micro ondes, pain rassis, ensemble pas du tout à la hauteur d’un 4*, particulièrement décevant et surprenant par rapport aux autres prestations de l’établissement.
