From Simon and Rachel - we stayed from 19th to 26th April 2012 and must say that both the venue and staff made our stay in Sicily most enjoyable! The setting by the sea was beautiful and the hotel was nicely furnished. The staff were very helpful and friendly and gave us lots of good advice as to places to... More

An unexpected stop made us stay at Arathena Rocks hotel. We loved it! A beautifull place with Italian charm. Big rooms with great ocean view. A nice pool and a lush garden. And last but not least: the best receptionist in Italy: Mylena, thank you so much for making our stay unforgettable. Your service and hospitality are great! More

This hotel was quite a disappointment in regards to location and service and I have mixed views about it. After reading previous reviews I believed the hotel was closer to Taormina, however it was 10km away and involved a 20 min walk to the bus stop and then up to 30 mins on the bus to get into Taormina. For... More

We have stayed at the hotel in the beginning of September, right after the high season. It is truely a little paradise, at the end of the busy corso by the sea. It is not modern but has an authentic, beautiful Sicilian feeling. The rooms are very cosy (ask for a nice one with 100% sea view), clean and quite... More

Recently returned home from a two week stay at Arathena Rocks and we loved every minute of it! From arriving to leaving all of the staff were friendly and extremely helpful - nothing was too much to ask. The hotel is quirky, spotlessly clean and comfortable. There are antiques, pictures, furniture, statues and ornaments all over the hotel but not... More

Arathena Rocks is a spacious hotel, but at the far end of the long promenade at Giardini Naxos, which made it heavenly quiet, in what is a very busy town of narrow streets and frequent traffic chaos. Grand lounges with antiques and a large dining room overlook a rocky shore, upper rear bedrooms facing Etna over an archaeological park. Staff... More

Just returned from a 2 week holiday at the Arathena Rocks Hotel. The Reception Staff, cleaners and waiters were all friendly. However, the meals were boring - how many variations of fish or veal can be presented (at least 12nights out of 14)! One night I requested the soup as my first course followed by pasta (another first course instead... More
