The hotel was in a privileged area, with beautiful views. The vintage surroundings and decor transport you back in time to the golden era of movie stars. The staff was really attentive and the breakfast was bountiful. I highly recommend it.

Staff is great. Quiet room and very nice beach area.

The hotel is outdated, the drain in the room shower is clogged and I've got a nail fungus. The hotel is full of moskitos and I ddin't sleep all nights. The breakfast was very poor for 4-stars hotel. The was only one thing that really great - font desk clerk MonaLisa. She was very friendly and helpful with all our requests.

MonaLisa at this front desk was extremely helpful. Great service.

A beautiful hotel on the beach at an affordable price. Hotel ‘vintage’ with charm and atmosphere, incredibly kind staff

Clean , great view , nice staff and close to tao Beach club/

Great beachfront retreat. See and listen to the sea from most rooms. Incredibly solicitous staff at the front desk, in dining area and on the beach. The rooms are a bit small but comfortable. Very good value in expensive Taormina area. When we stayed in Mid October the beach and balcony area was shaded because of the cliffs behind- which must apply to many beachfront properties in the area. So plan on doing swimming and sunbathing before 2 or 3pm. The property is almost a kilometer walk to the cable car that goes up to central Taormina along a beautiful but dangerous road with no sidewalk. This distance provides some relief from the crowds in many parts of Taormina

The building is very old and the description was deceptive. There was no deck. The photos make it appear that it had a little deck...

everything was great. Would stay there again.

The staff are wonderful and service second to none. A rather dated property but this adds to its charm. The terrace overlooking the beach where guests eat breakfast is lovely Some variation in breakfast would have been welcome perhaps.

An older property. The public rooms are kept nice and clean but the rooms are in need of new furniture and plumbing. The TV set (very small - is still an analog model) We were told we were getting an update but I couldn't see what the difference was with the room I had booked (Photo, amenities) The breakfast is plentiful but average. There were no takers for the scrambled eggs, bacon, and what looked like mini hot dogs. It did not look appetizing at all. The fruit except for the kiwi all came from cans. On the plus side, every one there was very helpful, professional and friendly. The gardens are well kept with beautiful and interesting plants we had not seen before. The view of the sea is magnificent, especially at sunrise.

We enjoyed the beach, chairs and umbrellas provided by the hotel. Loved the breakfast on the terrace overlooking the sea. Dinner very good also. Loved our time in Taormina.

The good thing about this hotel is the location, however, this hotel built in 1968 is so far beyond repair and maintenance that only a total renovation or a complete rebuild would have us considering returning. For example, after we changed from our first room at 60 Euros per night extra, in the second "upgraded" room the shower leaked, the toilet was nearly impossible to flush (my wife was unable to push the flush mechanism leaving me the duty) and to used the toilet you had to either put your feet in the shower or sit sideways. The decor was without a doubt the original floor, doors, and furniture from the 1968 build. The only newer item was the 20" tube tv from the 1980's?????!!!! The common areas are as dated and worn out as the rooms. This is a terrible hotel. There was no amount of effort that the staff could exert to make up for the location and their obvious frustration came through at the breakfast service when my wife was yelled at for getting a coffee 10 minutes early and we were stopped from taking a coffee and croissant to our room to enjoy on our balcony. For anyone reading this please understand we have spent two beautiful weeks in Sicily. We've rented a car and toured the island stopping in many locations, all were enjoyable with beautiful scenery and people. We've loved it!!! We have written this hoping to help you make the smart decision to NEVER book at this hotel.

We did enjoy our stay. We knew it was an older hotel and that was part of its charm the & staff very helpful. One area we would suggest improvements is the breakfast. To match the glorious surrounding the food was quite basic. Not many hotels serve tinned fruit so local fresh fruit would have been so much nicer On the whole a hotel we would be happy to recommend.

Service was absolutely fantastic and the rooms were perfect.

to check in on this The hotel was like jumping back to the 70's and not in a good way. The smell in our room was like someone’s grandmother had dropped a perfume bottle on the floor and it was like the same grandma decorated it when she was young. We found 2 half full liquor bottles in our minibar (the liquid had disapparated because it was so old!) we started going through the dates of the remaining drinks and found many of then had gone out over 1 year ago !! And this is a four star hotel! what a joke! The standard is more like 1 star. However, the good thing about the hotel is that it is located on the beach with free sunbeds as well as the restaurant staff were super nice and the food good. The hotel is very off so if you want to experience Taormina center then this is not the right accommodation. (Taxi 15$ oneway and bus once an hour) thankfully we only had one night here. definitely not worth the money!

Loved the location, staff very accommodating, knowledgeable and gracious. Great breakfast and restaurant menu though not extensive, was sufficient. Would definitely stay here again. Great price too!

The hotel was lovely. We had a room for 4 which had plenty of space and a beautiful view. The hotel beach was very nice and convenient for our son, who has a learning disability. The staff were very helpful. We especially enjoyed sitting on the hotel terrace overlooking the bay whilst eating breakfast, dinner or having drinks. We had no trouble parking at the hotel. Although the hotel is not far from other restaurants and hotels, the road has no pavement which meant that we tended to use the car if going out for dinner.

Hospitality and service was amazing. Front desk recommended a restaurant and booked reservations which turned out to be one of our best meals during our visit to Sicily....

Outstanding view from the hotel room! All personal delivers very high service

An overall great stay. The staff was outstanding.The breakfast was decent; fresh fruit versus those canned would have made it better . I found the two twin beds to make a queen/double was uncomfortable but we made do.

Proximity to beach a plus. Proximity to center of Taormina where restaurants and shopping are was a negative. No easy way to get to town other than car or taxi. If you are a beach person, this is a great location. Staff very pleasant and helpful.

Perfect. The location, the hotel itself, the food, everything. Pretty amazing how well the 50s/60s furniture and fixtures have been preserved. Previous reviews that mention that the hotel is 'old' aren't actually fair. No, the hotel does not have flat screen televisions, nor anything else that would destroy its character for that matter. It does have incredible charm and it would be very sad to see it updated to become just another hotel. The staff was perfect also. Heaven.

The staff especially Julia and Zena on reception were excellent. The beach location was good although necessary to have a car to go anywhere. Hotel in dire need of modernisation ESPECIALLY the bathrooms, it could be so much better with an up to date shower.

Great location, Hotel provide enough and easy parking space which is very crucial for traveler who visit Sicily.Stuff are so friendly and helpful, hotel restaurant serve good food and upscale service but reasonable price.We will be back to Taormina Sicily, and hotel Lido Mediterranee will be our home for sure!

Nice position, felt like i had stepped back in time to the 1970’s though. Would have been a luxiorious hotel then.

Loved Hotel Lido Medieterranee. Great staff, very friendly and helpful. Loved the wait staff in the restaurant. They are top shelf! I highly recommend you stay no where else if you are visiting Taormina!

A lovely stay a bit too far from Taeormina.

Hotel was very clean with its own private beach lido area. Great staff

If you are looking for great service, a beautiful beach and good hotel food this is your place. The rooms need to be updated, and the bathrooms need to be redesigned. For the price we paid we were satisfied.

I can't say enough about my recent stay at this hotel. If you're expecting glitz, glamor and ultra-modern, this is not the place for you. If you are wanting a beautiful hotel that retains the charm of its past, then this is the place for you. The rooms were large and immaculately clean. The hotel staff is some of the best I've ever encountered. Always helpful, cheerful and wanting to insure you have an excellent experience. The location is ideal for relaxing and water sports. Taormina is about 10 minutes away and easy to get to by cable car, bus or shuttle.
