Taormina Hotels with Pools

"I decided to celebrate my next birthday in Taormina at the renowned Excelsior Palace Hotel. Built in 1904, the hotel exudes a sense of history and age, from the lobby to the rooms. Initially, I was given a single room without a balcony, but at my request, reception upgraded me to a room with a balcony on the ground floor, right next to the lobby bar, which was very convenient. The hotel is heated by a central air conditioning system, which is loud but warm. Then, the next morning, I was awakened by construction noise—renovations were underway right next door in the bathroom, with a drill at work. I contacted reception, and they upgraded me to a deluxe room (a newer double room on the second floor). The move was a bit of a hassle—packing up, unpacking, and so on. And then, the next day, I had to check out, meaning packing up again. But the room was large and spacious, and it didn't heat up as quickly. If you turn off the noisy air conditioner, it's cold. The breakfast is monotonous: eggs, sausages, cheeses, vegetables, cereal, yogurt, nuts, sorbet, and pastries. On the second day, the coffee machine broke. I had to ask the waiters to bring coffee several times. For a hotel of this level, not fixing the coffee machine is very strange! Overall, I enjoyed my stay, but the rooms are old and not worth the price in high season; they're just paying for the name of the chain. Water from the minibar in the room is extra, there are no robes, and they didn't even congratulate me on my birthday. The tax is 4 euros per day. The hallway on the ground floor smells good. I didn't like that at breakfast I had to ask for a second cup of cappuccino, look for the waiter, and they don't ask me again whether I want coffee or not, they seem to be doing me a favor."

"In total, it was a good stay. The price 1150€ for 2 nights is insane though. I like that the pool is open 24/7 and there is a beautiful restaurant with a view. The property also offered an upgrade, which was nice. The rooms are white and cold, though. Also the rooms should be cleaned while the guests are having the breakfast, so they need to use the updated system for tracking that."

"The standard four-star resort hotel is not controversial, that is, the water in the bathroom nozzle is not under pressure and feels a little trickle. The type of room provided by Ctrip did not indicate whether it was watching the mountain or the sea. The room we gave was to look at the mountain. At the time of check-out, a city tax of 7 Euros is added."

"Прекрасное расположение и прекраснейший вид из окна на залив и остров. До пляжа рукой подать. Очень приятный персонал. Отель не новый, внутренний интерьер и удобства немного устарели. Но для своего сегмента вполне хороший вариант."

"Hotel is an old villa. authentic, clean, beautiful. View beautiful! Located away from the center and beach. Take a taxi only."

"The hotel is very good, although the pool is not big, but the pool has a view pool. The lady at the front desk was very nice and very enthusiastic to help introduce attractions and restaurants. Breakfast is also very good, you can have breakfast facing the sea, the service staff is also very warm. The location of the hotel is very convenient, just in the city, it is very convenient to walk to the ancient city in two steps. If you drive, pay attention to the entrance of the hotel to avoid missing. If you miss it, you need to go around a large circle to come back to the hotel entrance because it is a one-way street. Very good hotel, left a lot of good memories."

"Отель не 4 звезды. Когда открывался, может и были эти звезды для 90х годов, но с тех пор ремонт не делался, судя по всему. Место распоряжение не самое удачное - до Изолы Беллы 15 мин пешком по обочине дороги, до фуникулера - 10 мин. Если выходить из отеля налево, то можно дойти до песчаного пляжа, там народа в разы меньше! Так же есть лестница в город, на такая обхоженная, как от Изолы Беллы, но зато рядом. Завтраки скудные - для 4* совсем скромно. Обслуживание отличное, все довольны, все улыбаются. Кто на машине - с парковкой беда, у отеля 5 машиномест, на дороге на припарковаться. Если повезёт с номером, то шикарный вид на море! У нас был Делюкс, 3ий этаж, тут же выход к бассейну, очень удобно. Сам бассейн небольшой. Кстати, отель находится в тени после 12 дня, соответственно, у бассейна не позагорать. По цене был выигрышнее, но стоит ли того, неуверен."

"It takes 10 minutes to drive from Taormina Old Street. The hotel is a house by the sea. Parking is on the side of the road. Welcome drinks are delicious. Breakfast is very general."

"We had a wonderful stay here. The building is beautiful, all the staffs we met are very kind, and the location is perfect, with the hotel being close to every spot in town. We would especially like to thank Klaudia for giving us a warm welcome, patiently answering all our questions, and offering professional advice for our trip around town. Definitely coming back again."

"Taormina is the true way to experience Sicily. If I had to choose only one city for a relaxing vacation in Italy, it would have to be Taormina. 👍 This town, made famous by the movie ”White Lotus Resort,” fulfilled my every imagination. The sea and streetscapes are simply breathtaking. I booked Eurostar flights from Palermo to Taormina, and I have to say it was the right choice! The cliff-top hotel is breathtakingly beautiful. The room has a private balcony, and the view overlooking the Mediterranean Sea and pool is truly a welcome relief from the travel. The breakfast was just as plentiful as the Eurostar experience, with sweet fruit and delicious smoothies. Watching the pigeons on the terrace while enjoying breakfast was truly relaxing. The only downside was the old hairdryer, which I think is a common problem with European hotels. Could Dyson sponsor it, hahahaha. 😄 PS: The hotel is very close to Piazza 9 degli Abril and the ancient Greek theater. The town is wonderful to explore and has a variety of delicious food. Taormina is definitely the best city in southern Italy!"
