"... host Roberta is very friendly and will doing anything she can to make your stay enjoyable , great location for the beach 2 min walk , and walking distance for lovely restaurants will be back again next year ."

"We spent a lot of time at the beach, Tony and Frank could not have looked after us more. They made the beach experience so relaxed and enjoyable and exactly what we needed from our holidays!"

"Beach was fine but very pebbly. We took a walk along the beach to find it was covered in litter, it looks as though the litter had all washed in, but looked like it had been there for ages."

"Never had a problem getting a bed and you can reserve a particular bed for the whole of your stay from the beach hut. The beach itself is stoney at the shore and quite an incline once in the water."

"He also was so nice transferring us from the hotel to the beach, suggesting us many things to do and places to see in this wonderful island, so helpful and always with a smile for everyone."

"Lots of activities on the beach - beach volleyball and lots of water sports available through the Chelonia team who are fantastic and professional in all they do."

"Guests can make use of loungers at the nearby Lido da Angelo for €13 (two beds and an umbrella in September) but take swim shoes as the bay is very stoney."

"Our room was authentically Sicilian, with a modern twist, immaculately clean, with a large balcony and great ocean views. As the hotel is very close to the ocean we enjoyed both swimming in the sea and the pool."

"To make it simple: nice place, clean, great staff with a beach and close to the second biggest city of Sicilia, if you are okay with the above comments, you will have a very nice stay in Sicilia."

"Extra nice room, bathroom, breakfast..."

"Beach loungersare free as are the kayaks and pedallos which were fun. Beach is stoney so water shoes a must. Water is crystal clear so take a snorkel and mask and swim with the fishes."

"Nice tour services available, we booked a..."

"The spacious, very clean and well-maintained pool area with sea view invites you to relax. There is a charge for the sunbeds and umbrellas, but towels and a voucher for a soft drink are included."

"The staff cannot do enough for you and the location and the private beach are excellent. Although take beach shoes as the sand is very sharp and there are rocks in the crystal clear sea."

"The windows are just in front of the sea and the wonderful bay of Naxos, from here you can see Taormina and from the terrace of the hotel, the first night that I was there, I could see the vulcano Etna erupting."

"The tunnel underneath is a cute stone walkway down to the beach and the sea We are now back in a cold UK and wishing we were back there!"

"They have a private beach which I used 4/5 of my days, and it was lovely, water was clear and crystal. The location is perfect if you solely want a beach stay, and nothing else."

"However, the hotel website infers that you have use of the Paradise Club Beach Club which is a short shuttle bus ride away. We paid 10 euros each and visited the Beach Club."

"The resort is big, offers a private beach, and for those wanting it more quiet, there are more quiet seating and eating areas available if you make the effort to go and find them."

"The hotel is modern and beautifully presented, we love Italy but usually the hotels are pretty basic, this has it all, even things we didn’t know about, like the private beach with sun loungers and towels!"

"Location just yards from the beach is great. Cefalu’s sandy beach is among the best we’ve experienced, and the sea was crystal clear."

"We ended up spending most of our time at the hotel because they had everything we needed, beach, dock, pool, excellent food and drinks, and relaxing daybeds to lounge on."

"Beautiful Beach is close by and can be accessed via a mini train that operates every 10mins or by 10mins walk. I always opted for the walk to admire the beautiful views leading to the beach."

"The beach is of volcanic black pebbles, clean, perfectly kept and is guarded by two lifeguards. Reef shoes are highly recommended for walking and entering the sea."

"It's right next to the beach in Mazzeo, very close to Taormina. This was the best of both worlds as we had the beach (lovely sunny weather, too) and were only a 10 minute bus-ride away from the centre of Taormina."

"There is a beach across the road although they all seemed to be private, but we didn’t investigate as we were only there 3 nights."

"Drinks and snacks are available at the beach bar and staff will bring these to you with a smile. The food at both the beach bar and the on site restaurant, Fusion, is of a high standard, if a bit pricey."

"We stayed 3 nights in a room with a very marginal sea view, though others have better so specify you want a full view in your booking!"

"The rooms were cozy and clean, and the view out to the ocean was phenomenal. Truly breathtaking views from the rooms with balconies in sea views."

"We paid for a sea view and wow, l know you don’t go on holiday to stay in your room but our early morning coffee and our evening glass of wine before we went out justified paying a little extra."
