Hotel 'Lost in Time' in need of major improvements
Very poor condition for what is supposed to be 4* hotel. So many things wrong with this place. To name but a few; toilet not flushing, fridge not working, shower at pool broken and no toilet. Pool not cleaned. Breakfast very basic no fresh fruit (but artificial fruit display on the breakfast table). Despite mentioning these problems nothing was done, instead I was reminded that the hotel was old. This hotel was clearly a lovely place to stay but that time is long gone. The only good point with the hotel was the view of Mazzaro beach from the balcony. Would have liked to give a nice review but so many things badly wrong here. You would do much better to look for a good 3* hotel before deciding to stay here.

Nice Sicilian hotel close to the sea and Taormina
The hotel is located in Mazzarro, from here you can access the beaches down many steps or you can access Taormina by cable car €3 each way per person. You can climb the stepped path up to Taormina in about 20 mins so long as you’re fairly mobile, it is easily achievable‭. We did it every day we were not on an excursion. The hotel has an old Italian charm feel about it. The staff are very welcoming and helpful, they add greatly to the whole experience. Vincenzo and Alfio deserve a mention for their warmth and attentiveness. The ladies on reception were very gracious and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. The room was kept in a lovely condition throughout our visit. The hotel orientation meant the rooms and terrace had full sun pretty much all day, though the air conditioning was very effective at keeping the room cool. Minor disappointments on the holiday consisted of the hotel pool area on the roof and the roof terrace - due to their location they could have been spectacular instead of feeling a bit tired looking. The picture of the swimming pool for the hotel is not the one on the roof. There is an option to go to the Ipanema beach club for €10 per person per day and the pool pictured for the hotel is here. The hotel plumbing can be quite loud so that a toilet flushed at night can be clearly heard in the adjoining room. All the planned trips taken were filled to capacity and needed a double decker type bus. The groups were too big and unwieldy reducing the enjoyment.

Traditional & lovely, not ultra smart & minimalist
Loved this hotel. It's decor is somewhat old fashioned but it is very clean. Some of the tiles on the sun terrace/pool area are cracked but when you are up there on a lounger among the roses and the birds are singing it just felt right somehow, like comfy slippers. We had a room on the third floor with a little balcony overlooking the bay. Bedlinen and towels changed very regularly. We were half board and the food was very good and all the staff were efficient, friendly and helpful. The hotel is also close to the cable car lift for easy access to Taormina itself.

last weekend of summer
The hotel was quite a bit overpriced. However the staff was very friendly! The room itself was much smaller than the pictures showed them as. The pool was pretty nice, and they had a lot of area on the roof to just relax or layout. Within a small walk you could get to the beach, and about 400 meters down the road you could catch the gondola up to the main area of Taormina. It seemed to be a hotel with an older crowd as it's clientele, just something to consider. The breakfast buffet in the morning is much better in comparison to many of the other B&Bs I have been to around Sicily. Overall: convenience wise this place was great, for the price i felt it was a bit steep.

Noisy hotel aimed at package tourists
Very good reception staff, waiting staff play to the package tour idea of Italian waiters! Cramped, poorly laid-out, poorly insulated room. Aircon centrally controlled was always too cold, but turned off made the room too stuffy. Simple stuff like making sure there was a spare toilet roll was not properly attended to. Restaurant meal just average, too much volume and insufficient quality. However Sicilian night buffet was really very good. Good location close to funicular to upper town. Beach is a bus ride away and costs 6.00 Euros for guests. If you stay here don't go for half board.

Wannabe 4 stjerner
Hotellet er sådan set rigtigt fint, men det er bestemt ikke 4 stjernet, jeg vil nok give det 2.5 stjerner, personalet var søde og hjælpsomme og der var altid rent og lækkert, men badeværelset var gammelt og håndvasken stoppet, toilettet var svært at få trukket ud, morgenmaden var meget kedelig og ikke varieret. Hotel Ipanema er et gammelt og slidt hotel som ville have godt af en kraftig istandsættelse.
