Excellent value. Pool area very clean. Cleanliness of rooms and areas great. Orange and croissants at breakfast very tasty. Close to train station and resort area. Excellent option to use the Olimpio - sister hotel.

Staff welcome not as friendly as could be on reception. Poor communication and very old fashioned check in processes. No map or clear direction of facilities. No opening times for bar area. No pool bar open at the Antares. Hire for towels €20 deposit. Mini bar in room (2 bottles of water) charged on checkout - no instructions to charge. Breakfast atmosphere was low with staff only looking to close up at 10am when it was open until 10.30.

We had a great time at the hotel. It featured a swimming pool, a panoramic elevator, and evening programs on the rooftop terrace, including a DJ, live singing, and a dance floor for couples. The view from the terrace was beautiful, and the atmosphere was lively and enjoyable. Drinks were reasonably priced. Since we booked in June, we also got a very good deal on the room rate. Parking was available on the street in front of the hotel, and they also offered a private parking space for €5 per day.

The only downside was the additional €5 per person per night membership fee, which was not clearly mentioned during the booking process on Booking.com. The bathroom was a little bit old style

The breakfast is ok. Very nice with freshly squeezed orange juice. Clean rooms. The beds are ok, if you like hard matresses ;) We hade a late flight back home and was able to use another room during the day for 50 euros which was very helpful. Close walk to the beach (very nice that the hotel has sunbeds at the guests proposal), and restaurants. We had dinner at a restaurant, Da Nino, at the beach with fantastic pasta and fish.

The coffee from the coffee machine at the breakfast was the only negative surprise - did not taste as Italian coffee at all (which usually is perfecto). Late we found out that there actually was a smaller coffee machine that made espresso :) Too bad the bar at the hotel Antares was closed, it is nice to be able to buy water, coffee or a beer when sunbathing at the pool. Or to have an aperitif or a soft drink before dinner. Heavy traffic noice from the motorway. It was ok when you closed the terrace door. We had a room at the 3rd floor.

Very good location. Stunning views from the hotel. In general very very beautiful. Good hotel, clean rooms, good food. I would go back again and would recommend. Thanks.

First few days bar next to swimming pool and reception wasn't working, if you want a coffee or something to drink need to go to Olimp hotel bar, after get busier and start opening.. And my pillow wasn't very comfortable, but was my fault I didn't ask for the other. Breakfast was the same every day.

The biggest advantage of the hotel is the view, the panorama on the sea and Taormina was absolutely amazing and visible from our room as well as from other places. The pool is also very nice although I think it could be closed a bit later as there were still some guests who would like to enjoy swimming after 18. The reception service was very nice and polite but not all the members spoke English well.

The downside were breakfasts as we think that in 4 star hotel they could be more various. Also the staff at restaurant was not very polite. From 22 p.m. till midnight there was a disco show which was too loud. WI-FI in reception in our room was very poor.

All staff is very polite, friendly communication and helpful. Many thanks to mini club team, his leader Ciro is doing great job to provide every day program for kids and adults as well. Cleaning service on daily basis 👌 room was spacious with terrace sea view 😍

There is no any bar or restaurant a la cart in hotel and the tables in restaurants are too close. Every day is mostly the same food. Hotel needs renovation, furniture is old.

Don’t repeat our mistake 😀 The hotel has an elevator to get to the hotel. We walked 700 meters in the heat. I liked the place, interior, pool, beach and breakfast. Also, you should add 5 euros per night to get access to the pool and beach for two hours with sun-beds and umbrella. We didn’t have our towels, but you can leave a deposit of 10 euros and they will provide it for you. You will get the money back after you check out.

Absolutely stunning fantastic. I can’t wait to go back. I can’t wait to tell my friends about it and bring my family! The staff basically became family. They went far beyond what normal staff do. They made sure that I was completely comfortable in every way! I love this place and my goodness it is absolutely gorgeous. There’s so much to discover here, I highly recommend it

Everything was perfect

The hotel is amazing in every way. The location of the hotel, the comfort, the swimming pool in Olimpo, the external elevator, the old mosaics in Olimpo, the breakfast and the service. The breakfast was very good. Amazing View from hotel and garden, garden, garden <3 The atmosphere of the hotel is wonderful. Thank you

noise of trucks from the highway

Nice place, very close to Taormina (5-10 min by car). Clean rooms, great view. We found parking for 2 days at the entrance of the hotel. First night we didnt find the slippers and a second set of towels in the room but the stuff helped us at 9 pm.

Not very vegan/vegetarian friendly (the only vegetables available at breakfast were tomatoes and cucumbers)
