Hatten ein sehr grosses Zimmer (zuoberst) mit Sicht auf Pool und Meer. Alles sehr sauber. Reichhaltiges Frühstück, leider ohne gekochte Eier. Frischen Orangensaft konnte man selber machen. Gratis-Parking war super. Lift etwas in die Jahre gekommen....

The location is excellent. Easily accessible by car and no issue with parking. This hotel is right on the water and within walking distance of the small town centre. I gave it a rating of 3 stars as it is a tired hotel. If the owners would put some money into it, this hotel could easily become a 5 star resort!! Dinner was a set menu. Not impressed with the quality of the food considering the Sicilian food we’ve come accustomed to. Our room was in the 3rd floor (corner) and we had a spectacular view from our balcony!!! Highly recommend room 303. We got a view of both Mount Etna and the ocean. The bed was cozy and clean. The washroom was efficient and clean. There is a safe and a small fridge in the room. Very quiet area (May-not high season) There is an old style elevator that is slow but gets the job done. The pool area was in need of an upgrade. Pool is NOT heated. Many of the lounge chairs have seen better days. They charge $3 euros a day for a towel. No bar service at the pool . At least we never saw anyone offering drinks). Staff were friendly and pleasant.

We went for our Honeymoon and were treated to a fantastic stay! The hotel is quirky, with so much lovely traditional Sicilian decor/ornaments, it has a great position tucked away nicely but a very short walk from the beautiful harbour area which includes stunning views of Mount Etna. Fantastic view over the bay from the seaview rooms. Staff couldn't do enough for us, even keeping some food back for us after we arrived at 10pm on the Sunday. Food was great all week. Highly recommeded, especially for those seeking a quiet and relaxed getaway. Thank you Arathena!

We spent a very relaxing week at the Arathena Rocks Hotel. The staff are all friendly and helpful, the food was good and the place was spotless. The location is on the edge of this busy little tourist town, which has lots of places to eat and lots of opportunities for day trips. Taormina is a short bus ride away; we visited twice.

An extremely kind, friendly, professional staff, which is true for everyone. Manuela who is the best chief receptionist ever, Alexandro the corteous, smiling, handsome waiter, barkeeper, restaurant chief, Giuseppe who guarantees a great,fresh enjoyable breakfast service etc. Impossible to name everyone. Thank you Arathena staff for giving the best summer experience each year.

Supposed to be quiet and peaceful, but the noisy kids and noisy Italian couples ruined that. Last-minute discounts attracted not so agreable noisy tourists, unfamiliar with keeping a quieter and calmer amtosphere so that everyone can relax and enjoy a peaceful atmosphere. Average breakfast and lunch. Rated a 4-star hotel, the quality and the variety of the menu are 3-star quality at most. You need to wait in line for coffee or water (from 1 plastic bottle at a time). One morning, at breakfast, I found 2 dirty coffee cups, for serving, which I returned to the stuff. No laundry service, not even an iron. Room mini-bar is empty, no possibility of making tea or coffee in the room. Wanted to take a nap in the afternoon, but the cleaning ladies made noise next to my room, where they kept their things. Dinner is a 4-course & desert meal of 18 eur, too much and not able to select both meal and price. Would I return? Not sure.

This is a quirky little hotel which offers a good experience if you take it for what it is. It is not outdated, just eccletic, and maybe not to everyone's taste, but if you like peace and quiet on the edge of the sea (and who doesn't?!) then this place delivers. The rooms are reasonably spacious, the bathrooms are modern and everything is very clean and well kept. Our sea view room had a beautiful outlook and we loved waking up to the sound of the waves lapping against the rocks. The service at reception was very good, we didn't eat at the restaurant other than breakfast which was good enough, nothing to write home about but sufficient choice to please most people. The location is a little out of the way but you can't have both peace and quiet and be in the centre of a bustling resort, so it's great if you don't mind a walk. The views of Taormina, Castelmola and Etna from all around this resort are stunning. Overall a lovely hotel with a homely vibe.
