Giardini Naxos hotels

Pros: Clean and friendly staff. Also, there is private parking

Cons: In the morning is a bit noisy because the cleaner start cleaning the rooms at 9am. A lot of doors slamming

Pros: Me and my boyfriend get very welcomed at the residence from the moment we got there, the apartment is cleaned every two days and the staff are always there to help with any enquiries about the property, tourist information and travelling. The bar was great and they even held a small Sicilian festival one night which was amazing- from the food to the drink to the music and dancing.

Pros: Comfortable position close to the center, the sea/beach and a bus stop (5min). Enjoyable swimming pool. Excellent staff! Nice view on the sea and Taormina from our balcony. Large room with kitchenette (electric plates, fridge and microwave oven), double bed, table for two. Private bathroom and air conditioning. Quiet place (in September) during both day and night. In the morning (at 8:00) a backer pass by the residence with his van full of bread, croissants, buns, milk and eggs; wonderful!

Pros: Staff extremely friendly and gave good advise for local amenities. Apartments are comfortable and spacious with plenty of good restaurants close by.

Cons: The shower facilities were a little basic but functional.

Pros: Apartment was a great size, was expecting a box, but plenty big enough for two adults.

Cons: No lift .

Cons: Perfect with everything you need plus the best view I've haf from a hotel.

Pros: Good value for money with some exceptions - Excellent Cuisine - thank you nice garden and access to the Sea.

Cons: I had the bad luck that a Full Bus Load of elderly Tourists was also accomodated at the same time. that ment: Loud Crowd in the Restaurant - queuing at the Breakfast Buffet - Walls of rooms are thin as paper. Had to witness a couples quarrel in full length during Nightime.

Pros: It is a very pretty hotel and have breakfast enjoying the Mediterranean Sea is fantastic.

Cons: We have diner in the hotel restaurant and both days the fish meal wasn’t good. It is the only point that could be better

Pros: Location was great, good spot for visiting Taormina, Etna, Gole Alcantara, all for a relaxing holiday whilst seeing a few things. Staff were very good

Cons: No-where inside the hotel to store a hire bike sadly

Pros: The room itself was ok

Cons: The hotel is indicated as 4 star hotel, but its definatelly not. 3 stars is most I would give it 1. The hotel itself is kind of outdated, but the room itself is kind of ok 2. Conditioner in the room is weird - switching in and off at random and room cooled down only when outside temperature droped 3. There is no water in the fridge (fridge is empty) 4. Room service is not possible 5. Whatever You do - dont take their dinner offer. Your charged 18 EUR for a 4 course meal with some options, but its horrible. There are no alternatives - its either the 4 course meal or nothing (althouth there is other food in menu, the stuff said that only dinner offer is available). You would expect 4 star hotel would have at least decent kitchen, but this was not enjoyable at all. You can see a picture of fish beloe this review. Dinks at the bar were ok. 6. We had a small baby and asked a water boiler in the room to prepare baby food. It was not possible. We had to go downstairs from 4th floor to retaurant to get cup of hot water. 7. Stuff could have been nicer. I cant say they were rude, but at times it looked like they are overworked and cant cope with all the workload, which kind of reflected in communication 8. We wanted to eat dinner outside (the weird 4 course mean, which was all we could get) because it was a nice evening, but got strongly rejected and were forced to eat inside buffet type of premises. Their argumemt was that in case it rained , the stuff would have to take plates both from inside restaurant and terrace and that would be too much work. 9. At checkout another couple were strongly/loudly arguing with hotel stuff because they were overcharged without any notice for a supposedly getting better room than ordered through booking.com In short: if You need a place to spend a night and You dont expect any real comfort than the place is ok (if price satisfies You). Avoid this hotel if You expect 4 star hotel level.

Pros: Own beach, polite and helpful personnel, clean

Pros: Great staff and location.

Cons: I thought it was simple and basic. Good value for money

Pros: Wonderful staying in a nice hotel . attentive attitude and willingness to help in any case

Pros: Beautiful setting, everything was spotless

Cons: The two gentlemen who worked in the restaurant/bar were grumpy, not friendly, seemed extremely annoyed st any request we made. The rest of the staff was very accommodating

Pros: The hotel is directly on the Mediterranean sea the view is gorgeous Many restaurants in walking distance had a wonderful view on Etna and on the sea from hotel room Very large rooms and we were upgraded

Cons: The swimming pool was empty Had to use the next door hotel pool a few steps away No possibility of preparing tea or coffee in rooms No fresh fruit juice at breakfast

Pros: Clean and comfortable and the staff were very helpful.

Cons: A bit far to walk to, but it was OK for me.

Pros: Just the location

Cons: Everything

Pros: The staff were nice , breakfast was good and restaurant served nice food.

Cons: The room is small, bed is uncomfortable and had a foul smell coming from the bathroom. The location is good if you want the beach, but if you want to also sleep, very noisy through night with beach club music until 1.30 am and constant traffic noise.

Pros: Friendly and kind staff!!!Breakfast is satisfied,location is great,couple minutes in front of beach,nice La Cambusa restaurant near by!

Cons: Single room is too small,only 10 meters((room number 50 on first floor is noisy and dark,almost without window.((

Pros: The Staff were outstanding in their help, professionalism, attitude. Cleanliness was second to none. The location is fantastic.

Cons: Noise levels in both rooms made it very difficult to sleep (at times unbearable). Centrally located but the balcony doors need to be extra sealed to reduce noise levels. Shower in Room 204 was tiny. In fact for one member had to leave the door opening while showering as he couldnt turn around. Whereas in Room 203 where our friends stayed there was a double modern shower which was fantastic so bathroom in Room 204 needs upgrading with Balcony doors. Beds are very hard - even a duvet under the sheet would help !!

Pros: The property itself is lovely. Room is clean the staff is friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good also, and out room had a balcony that overlooked the ocean.

Cons: Now i didn’t expect the noise to be so loud. I understand that it was festival season, but I have never been there and the clubs on the beach - all the clubs - play music and bass until 3.30am and sometimes longer. This is every single night of our stay 9-19th August. I would have stayed in a more quiet part of giardini had I known. The beach clubs are so close it sounds like the music and screaming crowd is in your room. I’m not blaming the property - but I wish hey would tell you on the booking system before you book. Some people might love that party atmosphere and music. But we wanted to make the most of our days and get up early, so it wasn’t ideal for us. The staff at the hotel are very friendly. But the staff at the lido that’s part of the hotel, could really smile more. One man in particular was the grumpiest rude person we came across so only went to that lido once and chose other ones after that. I will stay here again if we travel to Sicily , but definitely not in August.

Pros: The staff on reception were extremely helpful and courteous. They spoke a good level of English! Food was delicious and well prepared.

Cons: Nothing - it was all excellent

Pros: Very clean property and friendly and helpful staff. The breakfast was good with plenty of fresh fruit as well as the usual continental elements. The room was lovely and kept very clean each day.

Cons: Only thing to mention is that the private beach was not free. The cost is €10 per day for a pair of sunbeds and a parasol. There is no option just to use your own towel on the beach. The car parking charge is very clear and we happily paid it(€15 per day). I think the website should be clearer about the beach. A lot of the beach in Giardini Naxos is sectioned off and a charge applies. There are public sections which are free and we enjoyed those after a short walk.

Pros: Extremely friendly and likeable hotel, where from arrival to depart we were treated as special guests. Pietro in particular was so friendly whilst expertly guiding us through our stay, dealing with our room requests, parking and dining needs and identified some great routes and viewing places for the sites we wanted to visit.

Cons: Nothing of note

Pros: The location is very good.

Cons: We choice rooms with AC but it was not functional and the staff made it difficult to change the rooms.

Pros: Leaving

Cons: Loud music from bars in till 3am on Friday Saturday Sunday wensday

Pros: The location is excellent. The receptionist was very nice and polite. Rest of the staff was ok. The room I received was having enough space and a balcony.

Cons: The air conditioning was not very effective. The furniture is a bit old and the whole hotel needs some restructuring, in my opinion. The balcony was dusty and could not use it comfortably.

Pros: excellent hotel, right next to the beach, very clean, rich breakfast, friendly staff

Cons: noise, especially on Friday and Saturday evenings
