Hotel Caparena

Location is ok, with free shuttle up to Taormina town. Mostly friendly staff.

Food quality and food options not very good given the price and the lack of surrounding options.

VERY GOOD BREAKFAST ESPECIALLY THE PASTRIES

ROOMS DID NOT HAVE TEA/COFFEE FACILITIES

Lovely view and gardens made the hotel. Location good for exploring

Public space was poor and tired in desperate need of upgrade

Sea view Clean Friendly staff

Lovely clean, spacious hotel with beautiful sea views. Friendly, helpful staff. Handy shuttle bus to and from town centre.

The hotel location is between busy roads and a train track. (This didnt really bother me as Taormina is just a very busy place and the hotel is a little oasis of calm in between) but it is worth a mention

Ive got to say we were delightfully surprised by this hotel. We booked this place as it was nearby to where we booked our wedding. Travelling with my now husband and our nearly 2 year old. From the minute of walking through the doors we saw how truly nice and special this place was. We just booked a standard room, we were located on the ground floor and the room was a lot bigger than we expected. It was nice and peaceful even being so close to reception in room 112. It was clean, comfortable, well air conditioned. Was just what we needed. We had breakfast included in our price which was continental but had scrambled eggs, bacon, range of cheeses and meats including ricotta. Cereals, pasties and cakes all of the above was of a great standard. You could eat inside or out. The staff in the dining room are even better, gianluca, Gianfrano the waiters and the manager fabrizio. And a lovely lady with short dark hair was amazing with our son, They really made us feel welcome and special, they couldnt do enough for us. So professional and friendly. We also spent an evening in the restaurant which the food was fantastic. Again great service here too! The beautiful garden and surroundings of the hotel are so picturesque. Nice big pool area including a kids pool. We also spent some time down by the beach bar which was relaxing and I have to mention how lovely the ladies down at the reception area of the beach/shop. Giulia and Maria, so lovely, friendly and helpful. The lobby bar was brilliant Adriano made us feel right at home, so friendly, welcoming and looked after our son if we needed milk warming up, no matter what time of day. The shuttle service from this hotel is fantastic, you pre book your shuttle up and down from Taormina. Its free too! We loved Salvatore! He made us smile, he was lovely, helpful and genuine. We miss him already!! I have to say, the staff here are a real main reason we would want to come stay again.

That we didnt stay longer
