Where to stay in Giardini-Naxos

We recently stayed at Nautilus hotel and we were very impressed with the exceptional hospitality and cleannesses of the room. The breakfast was excellent.I would highly recommend it. The location is fantastic,close to the beach and bars , restaurants.

My family and I stayed at the Nautilus for one night with two rooms. Lovely clean and modern rooms. Easily accessible to stores and restaurants. We stayed here to be closer to Taormina without the chaos. The breakfast buffet exceeded all our expectations and was delicious in variety of pastries to hot tasty food, fresh fruit and espresso machine. They offer non dairy milk too! Usually in Europe...

A true gem of a hotel, traditional hotel layout but so modern and finished to the highest standard. The breakfast times are good and the breakfast bar remains well stocked thouroghout the serving times. Nor are there staff hanging around encouraging you to leave as soon as they are supposed to close. The choice of food at breakfast is amazing for a small family run hotel. Staff are kind and attentive...

Absolutely amazing hotel! Service is wonderful, family owned and they are gracious and appreciative of our stay. The hotel is newly renovated and modern. The seaside view room is totally worth it. Glass balcony directly facing the sea. Rooms are so clean, high tech and modern. Breakfast so delicious on the patio facing the sea. Location great at the bottom of Taormina and has parking. Ask for Luca...

Our stay here was absolutely amazing. The staff was very lovely and went above and beyond to make our stay welcoming. It’s a newer hotel so everything is clean and modern. Definitely recommend getting a room with a sea view!! So worth it. In walking distance to great restaurants as well

Wonderful hotel. Wonderful. First room types. We had executive with sea view. The rooms have a balcony with a few chairs and a small table. There is a large bed at least queen size if not king. It’s quite firm. There are myriad lights with many different switches. The balcony has a glass sliding door, and there is a metal type door that slides down from the ceiling that you can use at night to block...

I stayed there for a week with my family. The resort had better days but now you quickly notice the age of it and also perhaps not a perfect maintenance program. We stayed in a family suite. It was clean and cozy. Room service was random some days very good and thorough some days very little. The breakfast could have been much better. The gym and sport offering was excellent and the young gentlemen...

Location is lovely, great amenities including Olympic pool and private beach and lovely helpful staff on hand 24/7. Pools are very clean and well maintained with plenty of deck chair space to relax. Decent price and good service for shuttle to nearby Taormina (€5 for round trip) I would recommend this hotel for anyone looking to visit but not be overwhelmed by the busy touristic town. It's in a quiet...

Our room has been partially refurbished. The bedroom area is very nice with comfy beds. The view from the balcony is super but the bathroom is a little tired but all are very clean. If you are looking for a quiet hotel, this is not it! Staff are very friendly and super helpful. There are a number of nice restaurants nearby. 👍 😊

Totally recommend this hotel! It’s located in the perfect place - first line of the beach. Sea is clear and very warm! I traveled alone, but never felt lonely - a lot of parties, live music, different sport activities and tours. Very professional and kind people work in this place. My most sincere and warm words of gratitude to Maria, Clarissa, Pasquale and Giorgia! Thank you very much😊 Pluses: huge...

The Service was very friendly. The dinner was very tasty every evening and the service was always helpful. The place from the hotel is perfectly quiet. And the entertainment every evening was enjoyable. We had such a great time there!

Loved this hotel. We had a big room with own patio in the vast grounds in a lovely quiet area. Buffet breakfast and buffer dinner were brilliant with so much choice and great tasting food to help yourself to. Restaurants were very spacious and comfortable. Highlight was Olympic pool. Never had pool so big in a hotel n it was never busy n was warm. The grounds were v big and own private beach too....

Very nice hotel, bathroom very clean, towel change 3xweek, all for cooking, fridge, Etna view, big pool, good supermarket 7 min walking. A bit far from city beach, but instead you have a quiet place to have good night rest. Very nice, friendly, helpful staff!!! Thanks a lot for nice vacation!!

I liked the apartments and how basically there’s only teens or families here. We had everything we needed in the apartments including a kitchen + you get new towels every 3 days. However the mattresses were pretty uncomfortable and the shower head was pretty nasty. Be prepared to get some fiber rich foods from the nearby supermarket because they basically have white bread with every meal here and dinner...

A good place to stay , to use as a base to explore this part of Sicily. Basic, but very clean accommodation. Staff extremely helpful. In foothills of mount Etna, seen here in the background smoking away that particular day!

Rooms not that comfortable, but for just sleeping ok. Service very nice and fast. Breakfast is not really good and costs too much looking at the things they offer... Location is okay, about 20 min walking to the beach and 5 minutes to a big supermarket.

Ok standard. This is perfect for you if you don't plan on spending a lot of time at the hotel. Closet beach, nice pool area and a playground. Optional breakfast and dinner. All in all a good place.

Very nice location and clean!! The room was nice and we got fresh towls every two days. The beach is super close. But our house was right next to the pool and the music at the pool was ridicilous loud all day!! We were once in the Restaurant and the waitress was absolutely unfriendly. He didn't come to ask after our order, we asked him after 20min. He didn't speek any other languages as Italien and...

The entire hotel is fantastic, classy, completely spotless and clean, the rooms have a classic and elegant decor. The all-you-can-eat breakfast and lunch is nice, the ingredients used for the dishes are high quality and the open kitchen adds something extra for the guest experience. Having a private beach ensures calm and stress-free relaxation. A massive shout-out to Gianluca at the reception desk...

A fantastic hotel, great location and friendly helpful staff. Has its own beach with complimentary sun beds and umbrellas and a fantastic swimming pool. Also, well maintained gardens with comfortable seating if you prefer a little more shade. The breakfast has everything you can think of, including Sicilian specialities. Hotel is fully air conditioned, rooms are very big and have a balcony and great...

We are impressed by the warm welcome we received when we arrived at the hotel. The hotel has a beautiful view and the location is great. The food was very good and fresh. The swimming pool area is nice, but too small for such a big hotel. The garden is very beautiful and has a cool breeze. We want to specially thank Valentina from Guest services and Giovani, waiter from the breakfast buffet. They were...

I've spent a week with my wife in this hotel and we were impressed by the very high quality of service. The breakfast team fulfilled our every wish. If there wasn't something on the buffet, we found it on the table the next morning. The bar staff are extremely polite and helpful. We had the opportunity to meet the hotel director, who turned out to be extremely nice and warm. The hotel has a beautiful...

We spent 4 nights here for a weekend getaway. The service was outstanding, in particular Maya, Valentina and William were all very friendly and genuinely welcoming. Breakfast was superb, the Omelettes and the pastries, including the pistachio encrusted cannolis, were amazing. The view onto the Mediterranean from both the room and the pool area was spectacular. 4 stars for the room simply because...

This has been the best hotel during our stay in Sicily. Nicely located at the beach and also quite close to other cities at the east coast as well as the Etna. Rooms were okay but should be renovated throughout the next years. Staff is exceptionally nice and service oriented. The restaurant is expensive but very good as well. Unfortunately, novodoy informed me about the lounge that I could have visited...

Clean and spacious room. Simple breakfast provided.

Central location, clean room and good breakfast.

Very good ecelant pool and food

Very welcoming. Clean safe hotel. Good service. Helpful personnel. Quite place away from city clamour. Reachable by public transport. Bus stage in front giving commodity to reach other towns and tourist areas cheaply by public transport. Shuttle bus service to nearby giardini Naxos beach. A very good sized hotel pool with music and life guard pool attendant. Good food. Spacious rooms and a good...

Nice, cozy and felt like home

Super Hotel, hotels parking free of charge. Delicious food in bufet. High quality.

I am really not used to the 5*treatment but if this is anything to go by, I am converted for life. I do not like spending €5 on a bottle of water but it was worth spending that amount on a cup of tea just to see it presented in such a fashion. It came with slices of fruit, dark chocolate pieces, fresh mint and rosemary and even cinnamon sticks. My friend and I did not know what to do with the cinnamon...

Absolutely fantastic hotel. The rooms clean and spacious.. The pools wonderful, the food delicious. The staff very helpful and friendly. The mini bus to Taormina was useful, David the driver was so funny! The only recommendation for improvement would be to have another coffee machine... Always a queue! Thank you for an amazing week.

Me and my fiancé had an amazing time at Diamond hotel 💎 The stuff was really fantastic! Special Dora in the reception🌟 And I really recommend the Spa aswell it was cozy and so relaxing. When of the best I’m been to 🙏🏼

The hotel is certainly not a 5 star. It is certainly expensive enough however! The bed is of a basic quality and not close to 4 let alone 5 star, the room is generally quite small and lacked balcony, the bathroom is fine but shower not consistently warm and only the hand held part worked. Air conditioning intermittent. Soundproofing is poor and you can hear other guests moving around upstairs and in...

Great?

The hotel does not understand the policy of payment for drinks at the pool bar. On Friday, the juices were given for free, on Saturday, the juice , it turns out, were paid and we only found out at check-out when I had to pay for everything. The hotel is on a hill, very dangerous road to the sea. The Shuttle does not go. I would not recommend this hotel, especially if traveling with children.

The location of this hotel is perfect! Direct access to the sea, and walking distanse to the center of Giardini Naxos. The staff, especially in the restaurant, are very smiling an service-minded 🙂. The restaurant has a very tasty fish of the day and delicious pizzas. The bed was very comfortable, and the rooms were quiet at night. We hope to come back! Thank you!

Lovely room with great view, fine food and nice helpful people working there. Really only thing I can complaint is a bit hard bed.

Friendly staff. Clean room. Breakfast and dinner was excellent. We enjoyed our stay very much!

Great and helpful staff, stunning view and beach, delicious food

Staff is really good. Nice, helpful and above all friendly

The location of Hotel Nike is awesome: off a side street but still convenient to bus, restaurants, the harbor and town. The view is beautiful from sea view rooms! Staff is very attentive to guests... some great personalities (especially Dario) which gives guests a unique experience. Front desk staff (Marianne & Tania) are truly happy to see you every day. It felt more like being with family rather...

Friendly staff especially the two girls at the reception. Room in line with the rate, we had a problem with the TV that didn't work, and they replaced it the next day. As I stayed on my birthday, my boyfriend wanted to surprise me by letting me find the flowers in my room upon arrival, thanks to the hotel staff who thought of making this surprise for me. Recommended !

Helpful staff and clean rooms.

Friendly and helpful staff Delicious food Clean and modern style rooms

Lovely hotel with fantastic views of Etna from your balcony. Lovely swimming pool with swim up bar. Staff are very pleasant and professional. 8 minute walk to the beach on a direct path . Would recommend

Hotel is beautiful, cool and beautifully clean. Rooms are clean and cool but the beds are ridiculously hard and uncomfortable. We asked for toppers which they provided with no problem. There is no literature anywhere as to when breakfast or dinner was served or any details about the spa. Be aware that if you use the spa it is €12 a day. Breakfast is a continental one. They do have soya milk but not...

At the hotel in the dining room we was waiting near on 2 hours for our main course. The rooms were okay, but there was no soundproof in the walls. The bed was not that great and uncomfortable, and the pillows were also uncomfortable also hard. You try to sleep, but you can't, there is infestations on the mattress and pillows, so expect bites when you wake up

We stayed here as part of our tour of Sicily. Beautiful grounds and we had a gorgeous view of Mt Etna from our room. Breakfast was good, but the one dinner we had was sub par compared to what we had in town. The hotel is relatively close to Taormina (€30 cab ride) and Mt Etna. And the beach is right down the street. There are also 5+10 good restaurants within an easy walking distance of the grounds...

Nice atmosphere. A/C works. Note the evening dinner dress code. Dinner menu in several languages.

Having visited the Sant Alphio Garden already in 2019 we more or less spontaneously decided to spent another vacation here. Reasons for us were more than obvious. The hotel was offering a very friendly staff, a familiar atmosphere, cosy rooms and a cuisine that I consider one of the best in 15 years of travel from New York City to Abu Simbel. The Sant Alphio is family owned, with the senior owner frequently...

Very friendly and helpful staff. Room was OK and balcony view was splendid!

Great location on the boulevard. I loved the interior, so much to see, tasteful and done with love. Nice staff. Breakfast on top floor with terrace, wonderful to start the day there.

Its has a really old style, with alot of art on the walls. Not my thing, but the room was clean and the people were lovely.

I had seen poor reviews about this hotel from a few years ago so was apprehensive about my 3 night stay. I needn't have worried.It was clean and well kept.The bedding was fresh. The people on reception were kind and helpful. The location of Hotel la Riva is excellent and zi was lucky enough to have a sea view and balcony. I enjoyed looking at the quirky decor. I would like to see a more substantial...

Great place!

Simply, classic, great

Very friendly Hotel. Excellent quality / price ratio. The room great . We dined very well with the quality of fish excellent. Only drawback is the swimming pool. There is the floor and being all deep and is not accessible to those who do not know how to swim.

4 star Hotel, but 4 stars is not much left.. maybe it was..but in the eighties..the time seems to be stopped.. I can only find foreign workers.. rooms are certainly not fragrant.. and could greatly improve the cleanliness of the rooms, the bed uncomfortable.

Lovely hotel nice size room next to the beach

Amazing views

Hotel was clean and located opposite the lido, this cost €10 for a day. The hotel pool was indoors and cost €5 for the day. So if beach and sun are your main thing budget for the expense Good breakfast and generally helpful staff. Although we were directed wrongly to the bus stop several times giving us a long walk when there was one just along from the hotel. There was a great view from our balcony...

A tiny hotel on the 2nd line.

We had an overall pleasant experience at this hotel, the location is superb, and the views from the balconies are gorgeous and memorable. The staff were consistently helpful and so kind to us which made our stay very memorable. However, our stay wasn't perfect, the blankets on the beds were quite uncomfortable, and in our room, the TV had no remote, and when we had one, it didn't work. Overall however...

I took a group of 46 school kids here and I can't speak highly enough of the hotel the staff are very friendly the rooms are very good the location is perfect if you want some summer sun it is a 30 second walk to the beach the food has been incredible very very good pasta dishes breakfast has been very good as well all of the kids are incredibly happy with this I would highly recommend the Stay worth...

Overall, the restaurant was quite good. Beautiful place, with beach views and access to the beach. Delicious food, but I went with a group and asked for a room of four, but we got a room of two with two extra beds. Excellent service and food, but I suggest booking rooms of max two.

Clean beds and great food thanks for the great stay!

Excellent position direct by the beach, clean rooms with seaview, big roofterrace, very kindly staff.

Standard 3* hotel. Room was clean with standard equipment and air conditioning. Breakfasts were dull, each day the same offering. Beach is very close to the hotel.

everything is perfect. nice view, Kind Person, Good breakfast

We were on the walk by the sea and see a nice hotel with bar to have a rest for a while and have some beer. Staff of the bar was very friendly, helpful and smiley, so we were absolutely satisfied :)

The hotel has beautiful surroundings - sea, garden, silence. Large pool with salty water, perfect for a swim, plus a small ladder that goes straight into the sea. (Not recommended with medium or high waves.) Supernice staff, good cleaning service - the hotel is loaded with armchairs, paintings, works of art, but my dust allergy is absent. I appreciate the quiet nights, and the location, a bit off the...

Good hotel, with nice staff they are very friendly. Had an amazing holiday here and it’s definitely worth it 😍

Good location and the staff are very very good... I personally think this hotel is catered to an older demographic as it is very quiet. Nice place to relax for a few days, but not the place to go if you are looking for an exciting holiday!

Superb location. Wonderful people!

This is perfect hotel for families, couples or single persons. The hotel has everything you need, lovely part of a beach, excellent service, wonderful meals, and two nice pianos: the grand one and the smaller one (it's hidden). I played both of them, but the grand one I played every day. Date taken: July 2016

Great location. Next to the beach, shops and good restaurants. Very nice personnel.

It was nice. Nothing too fancy, it’s all quite old. Breakfast - nothing special... the beach is nice, the water is crystal clear. in the end we liked it...

Nice hotel good communal facilities but rooms dated in need of refurb. Good professional staff

Nice hotel but tired. Nice communal areas and facilities but rooms need full refurbishment.V good staff attentive, professional

The 4 star hotel, but in fact not even three stars.

Big rooms, great placement and a big pool

Nice hotel and renovated rooms.The rooms are very clean. Nice staff.

overall a very good hotel, especially for the price. receptionists are kind, bar by the pool is pretty cool.

Very good hotel

Nice, small hotel in the quiet part of Recanati, Giardini Naxos. Rooms are clean and big enough with bathrooms recently renovated. People in hotel are very, very kind and friendly. Hotel has a swimming pool with a bar. Food is tasty but the portions could be biger.

Amazing hotel we had a really lovely holiday only small downside is the food

It's not in a favorable position for tourism, the only landmark in its vicinity is in fact the sea. The rooms are alright, the included WiFi is mediocre

Very nice hotel, very nice staf, very good conditions and a good breakfast. Is located rght on the beach of Giardini Naxos.

Real family hotel. Clean rooms and delicious breakfast of selected and quality ingredients. Very cordialy and friendly staff.

Great view from the bedroom but don't dare linger at breakfast. Coffee machine is switched off at 10am sharp. After that, you pay!

Wonderful

Staff could not do enough for you, location was beside the sea and in the centre of Giardini Naxos. Breakfast was excellent and meals too.

First time to visit Sicily we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Hotel very comfortable, staff lovely good choice for breakfast. Look forward to visit again.

Clean hotel & nearby the beach😍
