This hotel is the cleanest and friendliest hotel I have ever had the pleasure of staying at. The staff were absolutely amazing and all connected and communicated like a family, that they made you feel a part of....nothing was too much trouble. The food was absolutely amazing and I would say it's the best I've ever tasted at any hotel. the waiters made you feel like royalty. special thanks to our maitre Franco Randazzo and his excellent team including Salvo, Samuele, Stefano, Antonio and Davide who were all so charming and polite. if we had eaten out then it would've cost around 200-300 Euros fro that quality and quantity of food we consumed. The room was cleaned everyday and were an excellent size with super comfy beds. we were near the gym so I would recommend earplugs - but the staff put a notice up for people to use headphones/AirPods within hours of us asking !! the atmosphere is so relaxed as the staff are professionals who make it all look easy ....even in temperatures of 39 degrees C/!!

Baia Taormina: A Hidden Sicilian Gem Where Authentic Hospitality Meets Timeless Luxury Ironically, the hotel's greatest weakness may be its marketing. The photographs simply fail to capture the true beauty of this remarkable retreat. From the moment you arrive, the vibrant colours of the lobby, the dramatic views over the sparkling bay, and the ever-changing palette of the Mediterranean sky create a setting that feels almost cinematic. As the sun gracefully moves across the horizon, the entire property transforms with it. If your idea of luxury is not defined by excessive grandeur, but rather by authenticity, tranquility, and the art of embracing il dolce far niente, then Baia Taormina delivers one of the most rewarding experiences Sicily has to offer. Service & Hospitality: The Heart of Baia Taormina Exceptional hotels are built on exceptional people, and this is where Baia Taormina truly shines. From arrival to departure, every member of the team makes you feel genuinely welcomed. There is a warmth and sincerity here that cannot be trained; it comes naturally. Service is attentive without ever feeling intrusive, and every interaction reflects a sincere desire to create memorable experiences for guests. A few team members deserve special recognition: Stefania and the Reception Team Stefania was an absolute delight throughout our stay. No question was too much trouble, and every recommendation was delivered with enthusiasm and expertise. Thanks to her advice, we enjoyed a wonderful day exploring some of Sicily's lesser-known treasures that we would otherwise have missed. Fabio at the Lobby Bar Each evening, our stay would conclude with a nightcap at the elegant lobby bar while the talented Frederica provided live music. Fabio's friendly personality, professionalism, and impeccable service elevated these moments into one of our favourite daily rituals. Pepe and the Pool Bar Team Travelling with severe food allergies can often be challenging, particularly when dining casually. The pool bar team handled every request with impressive care and attention. Orders were prepared according to our dietary requirements without hesitation, and service was consistently warm, efficient, and remarkably attentive. Their professionalism allowed us to relax completely and enjoy our holiday without concern. Fabian, Pool Concierge & Lifeguard Fabian deserves particular praise. Upon arrival at the pool area, he personally explained all facilities and ensured our loungers and umbrella were arranged exactly to our liking. During our stay, a small wildfire occurred in the vicinity of the hotel. Fabian had already taken the necessary precautions, coordinated with the authorities, and calmly reassured guests throughout the situation. His professionalism and composure were truly commendable. Culinary Experience Breakfast at Baia Taormina perfectly reflects the hotel's philosophy: quality over excess. While the buffet is not enormous, every item is fresh, carefully prepared, and continuously replenished. Guests can enjoy freshly brewed coffee prepared to order or opt for the convenience of the coffee station. Those expecting an extensive international buffet may find the selection more modest, but travellers seeking a healthy, flavourful, and authentic Mediterranean breakfast will leave thoroughly satisfied. The pool bar offers an equally enjoyable dining experience. Whether choosing traditional Sicilian specialties or classic vacation favourites such as a club sandwich, every dish showcases fresh ingredients and thoughtful preparation. The quality is consistently impressive, and each meal feels genuinely crafted rather than simply assembled. Cocktails are expertly mixed using premium spirits, and the wine selection provides an excellent introduction to the region's rich viticultural heritage. Importantly, prices remain remarkably fair considering the setting and quality offered, comparable to many of the better restaurants in Taormina itself. The Rooms We stayed in one of the hotel's Luxury Rooms. While the accommodations do not reflect the ultra-modern design trends found in some newly built resorts, they offer something increasingly rare: character. Guests will not find minimalist interiors, backlit mirrors, or contemporary walk-in rain showers. Instead, they will discover spacious bathrooms, comfortable beds, elegant classical décor, and carefully selected artwork that reflects the cultural richness of Sicily. Most importantly, many rooms boast views that are simply breathtaking. Waking up to the sight of the bay each morning quickly makes one forget any desire for contemporary design features. Housekeeping is thorough and consistent, ensuring the rooms remain immaculate throughout the stay. Final Verdict Baia Taormina is not a hotel that seeks to impress through ostentation. Its luxury lies in its spectacular natural setting, authentic Sicilian charm, outstanding hospitality, and the feeling of complete relaxation it offers its guests. For travellers seeking genuine Mediterranean elegance, warm personal service, and unforgettable views, this hotel represents one of Sicily's most delightful surprises. Rating: 5/5 A place where time slows down, the sea sparkles endlessly below, and every sunset reminds you why Sicily remains one of Europe's most enchanting destinations. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kind Regards, Well rested guests Eva & Tjörven

Fabulous hotel , amazing staff impossible to name them all as it would be the staff directory, everyone friendly and willing to take a moment to help you . The views of the bay are fantastic. The hotel is a little remote and I would recommend having a car but there is a shuttle to town and other places for about E15 return per person which is also very good. Some would say the hotel is dated but I enjoyed its charm and relaxing atmosphere. The half board option was very good , antipasti buffet , followed by a choice of 5 diffent types of pasta ( cooked to order , then the grill again cooked to order with a choice of fish or meat , then a selection of deserts. All great quality, again all fantastic staff and willing to assist with recommendations. In all a great hotel and I would definitely visit again
