Ratings and reviews
2.0 / 5.0
Overall the four night stay was pleasant with clean bedrooms but it was a bit outdated. The hotel indoor pool is overpriced and extras are expensive (cost for towels, spa, beach etc.)
Hotel Room - Decent sized room and plenty of wardrobe space for the stay. A good balcony but the toilet didn’t have a window. Unfortunately the room didn’t have a kettle with tea and coffee. There is no iron available at the hotel which is a shame.
Food - Breakfast buffet had lots of sweet and savoury options which were topped up regularly. Plenty of table space and reserved the table for the whole stay. Dinner set menu options made ordering easy and had a wide range of wine choices as well.
Pool facilities - The outdoor pool was clean, had outdoor toilets and plenty of sun loungers for the group. The deep end of pool is 3.4m and shallow end 1.2m, not suitable for children.
Atmosphere - I would not recommend young people stay at the hotel as it’s quiet and the town doesn’t have much to do either. It’s a very busy hotel but mainly retirement age people staying there on a package holiday. There were two weddings during the stay which the hotel could have explained during check in as there was loud music until 1am.
Location - The hotel is close to other bars and restaurants which is great for lunchtime options. The beach is nearby, a supermarket is nearby and there’s a few shops within 10 min walk as well. The hotel is secure and has lots of gates as well as a safe in each hotel room.

The beds are terrible, at least in the room we stayed in. Very poor sound insulation, especially through the door. Nice swimming pool and beach
4.0 / 5.0
The property itself was very nice and clean but the street around the area where we ended up
Parking because there was not enough room to park inside the gate was full of Trash everywhere . It is definitely an eyesore and if I owned the hotel would think abou how to clean this up .
4.0 / 5.0
The hotel was really nice, catered for everything. Sun loungers got taken up fairly quickly. Room was large and nice. Not too much in the area, so need to get a 45 minute bus to Taormina. Hotel bar prices are quite expensive,

Cool hotel, a bit away from the main part of Nexos but still enough around.. I was there for a work trip and it was pretty stress free. The staff were amazing, definitely one of the more standout aspects of the stay at this hotel. I had a car and it was pretty straightforward parking.

Very professional staff. Great food. Good location and amenities. Bed not quite as comfortable as I would have liked.

Parking was full and had to drag our luggage from the street below.
Vehicles parked illegally blocking the lobby area made it impossible to bring our vehicle close by. Check out at 10:30 am was very inconvenient and too early.

The hotel needs a major update. The public spaces are nice and modern. The rooms, however, while clean are Shabby. The bathroom amenities need a major update. However, the staff was very nice and accommodating.

The waiter that was serving lunch by the pool was very rude. Rejected our order even tho there were still 10 min to go.

There is no doubt that this place is chique. The grounds are beautiful once you get past the gate and the feel is definitely upscale. We were only there for one night before heading in to Taormina (about a 10 minute drive, so know you wont be walking there). There are plenty of places you can walk to and onsite food. The menu looks pretentious with a one-price for 3 courses setup, though the food was fairly average tasting and didn't reflect the sicilian culture much. It wasn't clear as to where some of the ammenities were (primarily i missed out on the hot tub that was part of the reason I chise this place). The pool and pool area was gorgeous. The room was comfortable. Overall, a pleasant and beautiful experience. Just make sure to ask questions, because information isn't necessarily readily available

We booked this hotel for one night due to the large swimming pool and on this it delivered.
Rooms are now rather dated although communal areas appear to have been modernised.
We didn’t like been charged to use a pool towel so if you are planning to visit then take your own
Several restaurants within a few minutes walk.
Food at breakfast was typical for Sicily.

Lovely hotel, beautifully maintained, close to amenities and very quiet. Would be suitable for an older couple or couple who want a quiet break not really suitable for us with a young baby and almost 3 yr old as they had no baby pool,. We were on the 3rd floor and the maid service was exceptional, she worked every day we were there and our room was always left spotless. Good bar service at the pool, we had a lovely stay would definitely recommend.

It was a bit disappointing that we have to pay to access the indoor swimming pool on top of the room rate.
Not clearly stated at the time of booking

No criticism at all. Lovely gardens and setting. Excellent service. Great views of Mount Etna. Close to beach. Supermarket and an excellent restaurant across road. Thoroughly recommend.

Arrived outside hotel in taxi but the taxi driver didn't realise he could get closer to the hotel entrance. The owner (on his way out for coffee) stopped to help us get our kids and luggage into the hotel. He then arranged for some cake and wine to be sent to our room. Wow! Fantastic service and made us feel valued.
Food in the evening is superb (compliments to the chefs). The only thing I'd say in the spirit of feedback is that the hotel could probably make the dining experience slightly less formal as there seem to be a lot of families staying. Great to keep the standards high but also good to understand your core market. That said, waiting staff are excellent and service runs like clockwork!
Rooms are very basic but very clean.
Pool is great, very deep and shallow space for kids is really limited.
Short walk to the hotel's private beach (couple of minutes) but typically for Sicily they charge for sunbeds (even though the beach is owned by the hotel).
Outside space immaculate, trees, flowers etc stunning.
Overall a great stay and would certainly go back.

This was an amazing place to stay, peaceful, stylish, friendly staff, clean and a 15 min walk away from the busy tourist area of Giardini Naxos. There was always sun beds available by the beautiful and quiet pool area, with no evening entertainment which you don’t need in a place like this. The pool closed for swimming at 7pm which we found just a little early. Perfect for a family of four, a short walk to a not too busy beach and great local restaurants and grocery stores, free WiFi and easy to find parking on the street, at the back of the hotel. Breakfast was good but did miss some bacon. Sun beds on the beach expensive so didn’t use those.
So glad we stayed here, a perfect, relaxing week. Would definitely recommend and stay here again.

Beautiful hotel, with nice and relativ quiet pool area. Cool detail with the in-pool-bar.
Nice and clean bathroom, and very effective air condition. Only negative is the quite hard and a little unconfortable beds, but not worse than everywhere else in southern Europe.

The hotel was nice and clean staff was so good and friendly near to beach . Good size room i had a sea view room .value for my money but i had to pay for inside pool and spa and parking which I prefer not to . But with the money i paid it was good and was far from airport it was costly to go to hotel .

The hotel was a good value and the rooms were comfortable. We knew that we were not in Taormina itself, but still, the location is pretty bad - you cannot walk anywhere. Driving to Taormina and parking there is easy, though. The hotel caters to large groups and the restaurant has the feel of a cruise ship. They sit non-group members off to one side, but you still cant avoid the groups, which on more than one occasion were making speeches and toasts. You cannot eat at the bar. Its a huge place so its hard to understand why they dont set aside a room for diners who are not part of the groups.There is a nice pool and lovely gardens. The buffet breakfast was good.

Great value, great quality, excellent consistent service, especially in the dining room. WIFI was quite fragile and could do with strengthening. A kettle in the rooms would also be a great addition. Would definitely recommend.

My family and I were visiting Sicily on a tour. This was the best hotel of all that we stayed in. Great location. Family owned. The owner walked around meeting guests and making sure they were enjoying their stay. Balconies had view of either mountain, water and or pool. Grounds were beautiful. Many gardens. Well maintained. We definitely would go back to Sicily and stay at this hotel.

It was not really what i was expecting from a four star hotel in Sicily, insofar that who on earth pays for wifi any more? It's a little bit tight to charge 3 euros an hour for wifi. Especially as we were there for 2 weeks. Also the decor of the room was quite dated, especially the tiny square TV with 17 channels. But nevertheless, the pool was quite nice, as was the 3 minute walking distance from the beach.
The breakfast was ok, but I was particularly impressed with the cleanliness of the room. It was very clean, and I was particularly impressed with our cleaner Roxana, who was not only efficient, but extremely polite. This was also the case with Mohammed at the front desk.
All in all, it was okay. Again, not what you would expect from a four star hotel, but not a bad trip by all means.
1.5 / 5.0
No welcoming staff on arrival, no information about hotel facilities offered and reception staff not very helpful to contact agent on a small hiccup we encountered with booking.
Hotel room had no facilities as per a 4 star (very small and old fashioned TV, no facilities for tea and coffee).
No area for games for e.g, football, badminton etc
1.5 / 5.0
This hotel is ok but no better than ok. Facilities appear good in publicity, including photos scrolling on reception. The problem is that almost everything incurs an extra charge. No parking on site, have to risk parking in no parking zone with threatened tow penalty or quite a walk away in a not very pleasant or safe looking location. Wi-fi extra cost per day per device. Indoor pool, nice facility when it's raining - 32 euro extra charge! No hot water 2 evenings of the 4 we stayed. Reception staff unhelpful. All unacceptable considering high room rate we had paid. On the positive, location is quite good, public areas of hotel are nicely presented. It's an expensive part of the island, but I expect better for the cost. We would not return.
2.0 / 5.0
This nice, comfortable hotel, is not set in the nicest part of town, or near the best beach. The staff are all courteous and helpful, and considering Italians don't do breakfast, that was also OK. Bus stop for service bus to Taormina and excursions, conveniently close. Unwelcome charge of €8 for use of Spa.
2.5 / 5.0
Great location. Clean and charming hotel with excellent staff for European standards. Bathroom tiny but normal for Sicilian standards. Short walks everywhere. Lovely beach. Super family orientated and quite. They even have chapel for inner self time. Charming owner who used to leave inNY. Lovely and friendly staff. Remember that Europeans charge for everything separetly and nothing is inclusive as in US.

We actually thought the location of this hotel was excellent. Less then 5 min walking distance to the nicer restuarants in giardini naxos, easy access to san alphio beach (extra surcharge, not included in room rate) and practically right beside regular bus (3 euro return until 1.30 am) to taormina with etna transport company. The pool area, flowers, veiw from our balcony of taormina and the possibility to see etna spewing larvae were also excellent. The owner also seemed very nice. No problems with breakfast in terms of convenience Downside: mattress rock hard, tv very old, breakfast just OK, stale croissants/bread every morning, tinned fruit and juices etc (but the eggs were nice). Wifi was available but you had to pay a hefty surcharge which is pretty disgraceful in these times. Didn't have dinner in hotel, seems very very (VERY) formal and there are lots of nice places with great views nearby and also directly on the beach. T

We stayed 14 nights bed and breakfast at the Sant Alphio and enjoyed our stay. We're a married couple in our 60s. We got the bus from the airport (get off at Recanati), which runs every hour, took an hour, and cost 7.90 euros per person vs 80-100 euros for a taxi. It was convenient for local buses and to arrange trips to etc Agrigento and Siracusa. The room was comfortable and the staff friendly and helpful. The breakfast was fine, but the only warm food was scrambled eggs and they weren't that great. We ate out each night because the hotel evening meal was 35 euros and three/four courses and we didn't want to pay that much or eat that much. Mixed reports as to the evening meal quality, some said it was very good, others said it was a bit like school dinners.
Wifi was charged at 5 euros a day, or 3 euros for an hour. We thought this was nickel and diming, and felt it should have been free.
But overall we would go there again.

Nice hotel , I recomand the location also. Beach is not with sand but looks nice.
