First of all, the staff were wonderful! Always eager to help. When our child was sick and we needed a doctor they even had one sent to the room within an hour! Everyone we met was so nice. We booked the cheapest standard room and therefore had slightly lower expectations, but the room was bigger than expected and had a really nice view of both the pool and the sea. We were pleasantly surprised. The breakfast was very good. The pool and beach were both up to expectation. The hotel also had parking, and a shuttle bus service into town. Some comments mention the train; there is a train running between the hotel and the beach, but the noise was honestly so little that we mostly forgot about it. All in all, very happy with the stay. Would come here again.

The only downsides were the poor quality of the WiFi connection and the lack of options for lunch. The restaurant is closed during lunch hours, and the bars have limited selection. Not a huge problem, as there are restaurant options within walking distance, just a slight inconvenience.

The hotel was clean and rooms were cleaned daily, staff were friendly and helpful, breakfast was good enough. We ate at the hotel restaurant on one of the nights and the food was lovely. The free shuttle bus to taormina is a God send.

For the price we paid (£868 for 5 nights in June), the room itself was not worth that. It's dated and far from luxurious. The location is not great, not really possible to walk anywhere from there. There is a surcharge for everything - the spa, gym, towel hire for the pool. The beach is very sloped and the only loungers you don't feel you might slide off are the ones closest to the sea, for which there is a £15 charge.

Had a great time in Hotel Caparena, just a short drive from Taormina and with a free shuttle service its in an excellent location. The pool was lovely, a good size with lots of sunbeds, and we also really enjoyed the private beach. Breakfast was also great with a lot of selections. The room was a decent size and we were upgraded for free which was especially great, the bathroom was fantastic.

Not much to fault, possibly the lifts, a bit old and only one of them went to floor 3 and it never seemed to be the lift you wanted. Not much of a big deal we used the stairs mostly.

The hotel was clean and maintained clean by the personal. In front of the hotel is a very good looking garden, well maintained. The room was big enough for a family with two children. The personal was serviceable. They helped us with renting a car, calling a taxi, etc. At the reception you can book a shuttle to Taormina and back to hotel for free in a specified interval of time.

The breakfast was not so great (always the same food and lots of cakes). The hotel hasn't a restaurant open for lunch. There is a buffet with little to chose from. The hotel is not easy accessible on foot. To reach to other restaurants in Leteojani (witch is the closest place to Caparena) one has to go on foot on a very busy road. One also has to pass throw a passage underneath an electric railroad. The beach is a combination of sand and stones. The entrance in the sea is steep and with stones. This means is not to welcoming for children.

Very beautiful garden with a lot of exotic plants and trees. Very nice and responsive staff. The free shuttle to Taormina was a great advantage. The room was being cleaned every day. Although the beach was very rocky , the water was crystal clear. The view from the balcony was very nice.

The Hotel is old - fashioned , needs renovation. The carpets on the hall were very old and weary. The breakfast was same everyday , the sweets were good but not enough kinds of vegetables and cheese. There was no kettle and glasses in the room , which is very inconvenient for such a hotel. These are small details but make an impression.

Very pleasant staff, the room was really spacious with a large balcony facing the sea. We were very happy with the facilities and shuttle service to Taormina.

Having a room over the restaurant could be noisy in the morning if it was busy. The beach area was under construction so not accessible. Some of the red tiled pathways to the pool area, or the stairs up to the gate where the shuttle left from, really needed a good clean with a scrubbing brush!

Beach and pool access with included shuttle service to town. Included umbrella and sun beds at front beach and the pool was great! The breakfast was a fun inclusion also. Front desk staff and breakfast staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms were great with daily cleaning and towel replacements.

Bar staff were uninterested most of the time. No music by the pool. It is far from the city so just be aware when walking as you can’t walk there (taxi at 20€ each way or shuttle bus which you must book ahead or it books out).

It was a very peaceful, well maintained hotel in beautiful grounds with a private beach area The breakfast offered a great choice buffet style & there were hot choices of boiled & scrambled egg, bacon & frankfurter style sausages The evening meal we booked a few times & the food was excellent, like a masterchef style dinner There was a mini bar in the room which was big enough to store drinks of our own & our suncreams The swimming pool area was well-maintained and at the beach area, the beds were free to use. Towels were €3 to hire per day. However, you could bring your own. Not allowed to use hotel room towels. Food and drinks at the beach bar were very reasonably priced, tasty & the service was excellent. The shuttle bus offered a return service into Tauromina central, the latest collecting you from Tauromina at 10.45pm You can do boat trips & they have a kayaking service from here, weather dependant We booked the Godfather tour & the hop on hop off bus collected us from outside the hotel, saving us having to travel into Tauromina to meet the bus A taxi from Tauromina Gardis Naxos train station to the hotel is €25 & from the centre of Tauromina to the hotel is €20

Would not recommend you walk along the main road outside the hotel as the traffic was very fast & there is no path. This meant we were unable to go for a nice walk after dinner. Instead, we had to take the shuttle bus into town for a walk. Although you could order hot drinks from the hotel bar, there was no kettle in the room, which would have been nice

Everything you need is here, you don’t need to leave. It’s like a cozy resort. Breakfast had lots of choices including vegetarian and gluten free options. The pool was perfect and the beach access has walkway under rail tracks. By the way the train was very quiet. The beach had umbrellas and chairs, bathrooms and cafes/restaurants. There is a free shuttle to the various towns, you don’t need a car or deal with trying to find parking. All the staff was super friendly and helpful. My wife didn’t want to leave.

The only negative was that we had to leave. I could stay here a month and never get bored.

Very comfortable, spacious, clean room with million dollar view. Staff so friendly, always smiling, professional and helpful. Breakfast offering was exceptional. Dinner and bar menu also excellent. Private beach with beautiful ocean to swim. Food & drink menu at beach club excellent. Shuttle bus into town is an excellent service for dining, entertainment and sightseeing. Some local shops about 800metres down the road for all supplies. We absolutely loved our 7 night stay here.

Everything was excellent
