Hotel Caparena

atmosfera rilassante ed evidente pulizia oltreché odori particolari, soggiorno davvero gradevole, ottima colazione

Really nice hotel on the beach in Sicily. Rooms clean and spacious and serviced everyday. Staff very friendly and helpful. Fantastic courtesy bus service to Taormina and return. Salvadore was a great driver and gentleman. Did a boat trip and jet ski which hotel staff organised from the beach.

I’ve got to say we were delightfully surprised by this hotel. We booked this place as it was nearby to where we booked our wedding. Travelling with my now husband and our nearly 2 year old. From the minute of walking through the doors we saw how truly nice and special this place was. We just booked a standard room, we were located on the ground floor and the room was a lot bigger than we expected. It was nice and peaceful even being so close to reception in room 112. It was clean, comfortable, well air conditioned. Was just what we needed. We had breakfast included in our price which was continental but had scrambled eggs, bacon, range of cheeses and meats including ricotta. Cereals, pasties and cakes all of the above was of a great standard. You could eat inside or out. The staff in the dining room are even better, gianluca, Gianfrano the waiters and the manager fabrizio. And a lovely lady with short dark hair was amazing with our son, They really made us feel welcome and special, they couldn’t do enough for us. So professional and friendly. We also spent an evening in the restaurant which the food was fantastic. Again great service here too! The beautiful garden and surroundings of the hotel are so picturesque. Nice big pool area including a kids pool. We also spent some time down by the beach bar which was relaxing and I have to mention how lovely the ladies down at the reception area of the beach/shop. Giulia and Maria, so lovely, friendly and helpful. The lobby bar was brilliant Adriano made us feel right at home, so friendly, welcoming and looked after our son if we needed milk warming up, no matter what time of day. The shuttle service from this hotel is fantastic, you pre book your shuttle up and down from Taormina. It’s free too! We loved Salvatore! He made us smile, he was lovely, helpful and genuine. We miss him already!! I have to say, the staff here are a real main reason we would want to come stay again. We live in Sheffield in England but my new husband is originally from Catania, we normally would stay with family but after this trip I know we will be back. Don’t waste any more money staying anywhere else, this hotel offers everything you want and need. Thank you for having us Hotel Caparena! See you again one day I’m sure! Thank you for making our trip for our wedding so special, for the lovely congratulations. You went above and beyond our expectations.

This is an outdated hotel with a very very beautiful garden and surroundings. Ideally located and excellent use of space but needs refurbishment. Bathrooms are renovated but the rest of the room is outdated. Some areas are quite dirty (corridors - awful carpet) and spa

It does not live up to the 4 stars. It has a nice location and the beach and water is nice. The restaurant serves horrible food that we had to send back. You must have a car to even go 100m from the hotel. The beach restaurant is a no go because very limited selection and the staff on the beach are very rude. It costs extra to rent towels and the beach chairs in front row costs 25 euros per person and the other ones in a good spot are always “reserved”. Our room smelled like mold and ha a big spot in the celing. Absolutely no Wi-Fi in the rooms and the air condition doesn’t work, you can’t get less then 25 degrees. The breakfast had no diversity and you get tired of it after a few days.

We spent several nights and had breakfast and dinner here. The room was nice and included a small balcony which was great. The fridge in the room did nit cool the contents and getting ice was a huge challenge. Breakfast was OK, coffee was a huge disappointment, machine style instant, the fresh OJ was wonderful. The pastries were very good, the hot buffet items not so much. Dinner was pretty good, there are definitely better options in town. Being beach front was really nice as was the pool. All of the outdoor space was really lovely. The hotel has a spa, and I had an excellent massage. The shuttle into Taormina was really convenient, but we weren't always able to get our preferred time and wished for additional times. The bar was frequently without a bar tender, there were no hours posted, but we expected better service. Overall decent experience that with a few tweaks could be much better

Beautiful nature and surroundings. The same breakfast every day. Very calcareous water. NO buffet for dinner!! Very expensive drinking water and cocktails. I do not recommend taking it. The wine is also alcoholic. When checking out, they added a mysterious 12 euros to the bill. The location is not good. The nearest city is Taormina. I definitely do not recommend it to young people. There are no events.
