WORST HOTEL. If you want to sleep stay somewhere else. The walls are PAPER thin. You can hear every movement from your floor to the ones above and below. Bathroom had hair left on counter and a clean dish left on counter in bedroom. Says parking included but man at front desk tries to charge additional for it. You have to pay additional to use the pool and it closes at 7pm.

Lisa, Lake Havasu

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
We booked this room because it had a four star rating and free wifi. First of all, the front entrance was difficult to find—the sign is on one side, where there IS no door, but you have to walk the opposite way much further to get there. When we checked in, they could not find our reservation. We got up to our room which was very smelly, opened up the windows and had a gorgeous view. But the patio was too dirty to walk on without shoes, and the floor inside was equally as dirty. The sink placement only allowed the bathroom door to open 2/3 of the way. The extremely tight bathroom also had a bidet, but not really room for it so the bidet was placed in front of the shower door. A towel was laying over the shower drain which I picked up, only to discover it was keeping the sewer smells from drifting out. The internet did not work so we went to the hotel lounge. Still did not work. We inquired at the front desk and were told the internet does not really work here, especially past the second floor. But it’s a four star hotel—the girl just shrugged her shoulders and turned away. Unbelievable. Old, needs refurbishing BADLY—do not stay here.

Terrible hotel. The air conditioner in the toom did not work and it was over 100 degrees. We asked front desk and the representative was new, first day and couldnt help us. The second day thry sent a technicisn to fix it. We were told it was working fine and assured all was fine. Got to our room that night still hot and not working. We asked to be switched to another room and they refused. We asked for a fan and told it was for concierge only snd it was more important that they were comfortable. My uncle (franco vadala) used to work for tourism dept snd had to get involved. Finally last night we were given a different room. Expedia should do their members a service and remove them from their site.

Unhelpful hotel staff
Unhelpful reception staff with no empathy and no wish to help ! We were visiting for a wedding and required an iron. The only 1 in the hotel was broken and they made no move to replace or help the situation. Finally, after a 'discussion' they agreed to have house keeping iron 2 shirts which they were going to charge for until a further 'discussion'.

Faceless hotel with no personality
While our room was clean and had a great view of the beach, the only real plus for this hotel was its (limited) car parking right at the front. When we enquired about getting a light meal when the weather turned stormy, we were told we had needed to book for a table that morning. The hotel appeared to be frequented by tour groups, so not at all an enjoyable space.

Good location, friendly staff
The title says it all. Otherwise expect an old hotel, and depending on your room location, the outside noise can be frustrating. I haven't tried the food despite spotting a daily buffet with a wide local variety in the main restaurant. good for families with children.

Disappointing
Noisy part of the beach to stay at night, main roads on either side, booming music from passing cars after midnight- take earplugs. Hotel caters to coach tours who book their tourists here for a few days. Beds were comfy and soft, fridge was working and empty, rooms big, shower was tiny! Cleanliness fine, some days beds were just made up so sand from the day before would still be there the next night. No glasses in the room to have a drink. The breakfast was sad - all the basic European choices are there but the quality is not. Tinned peaches and old bruised pears or bananas in a country where fresh fruit is plentiful? Watered down juice so it tastes more like squash. No coffee machines (just a flask of nasty tasting coffee on the table) no fresh espresso unless you order and pay for it separately. The service in the restaurant was also poor. You walk in and unless it's early you'll find that the tables are not made up so you have a choice of sitting on dirty tables or ones with just tablecloths on and then you find a waiter to help, they will then rush around you to set it up. That's if it's not reserved, which you won't know is the case until a waiter rushes over to tell you off - you can sit anywhere but not on a reserved table. No-one told me how to reserve a table or how to identify one that is reserved! The chef working the egg cooking counter was grumpy, rude or indifferent, depending on the day.The front desk staff are great however and the views are lovely at night

Good for the price and the location
It was fine for a few nights. Nice view of the water and great balcony. The rooms were ok. There was no private beach with the hotel and the chairs rental was expensive. But the location was good and near Taormina!

Cattle Car Crowd - Expensive Internet Access
In short, we wouldn't go back. Noisy. This hotel is mainly used by European tour groups so there is little personal attention. The breakfast buffet is ample, but it is of lower quality food. We had a room next to the stairwell on the second (3rd U.S.) floor and the sound came up the stairwell from the ground floor on the metal girders and was annoying in our room. The room was gaily decorated, but there was plenty of knocked about paint visible. Because of the noise, room rate and high internet charges after 2 days we ended up moving to another hotel for an additional 6 days. Internet. We had tried to find out about the internet access before going there but I didn't see any info on the hotel website. When we got there I needed to do emails and some work and was shocked to find the fee for wireless access was the highest we have ever seen, so high as to make it worth while to find an internet cafe down the street. The clerk was embarrassed about the fee and said because it is so high almost no one uses it. The manager said it was beyond his control. Because I complained the manager did offer to let me use a desktop in the back office. Parking. If you have a car, parking can be a problem as it is only street parking with 10 or so spots reserved for the entire hotel.

BEST LOCATED HOTEL IN GIARDINI NAXOS
Hotel is located almost on the sandy beach and has fantastic views of Giardini Naxos, Taormina and on a clear day Mount Etna. Condition of room / front of property could do with a lick of paint, but restaurant and bar area's very well nice. We had seven days Bed & Breakfast, Breakfast was very good with plenty of choices.

Great location, ok service.
The hotel is rated as 4 star, however according to the services, the maintainance and the quality is rather 3 star. The spa facilities were not available due to refurbishments, so we could not try them. The location was perfect, great beach excess, from the balcony superb view. Good size room with en-suite, only shower, caused trouble with our little one's bath time. They were the only place during are stay, whom provided the baby cot (bed) for free. Free parking space are very limited apprx. 7 spaces for 200+ rooms! Reception staff were not too friendly, but the housekeepers were great and kind. The waiters could not wait to see your back. The restaurant could not provide baby high chair and the breakfast was boring for 6 days. We did not try other meals, so can't comment on those. Internet was payable, which is normally free at this standards.
