we stayed here 3 years ago and had a great time - ignore the date entered but ta will only let me put in a date for last year! Admittedly we got it for a bargain price. the room was good and the air con fantastic. what made it special was the staff. in the restaurant they could not do... More

We stayed here in the last week of the season and unfortunately had bad weather all week, which magnified the hotel's flaws. The decor is very tired and 70s, the food is quite disappointing (as one previous comment mentioned, the pasta is basic supermarket quality) and in general the atmosphere is quite gloomy - on the rainy days it felt...

We spent 2 weeks at the Antares in September and had a great holiday. It was our first holiday in Sicily and would definitely like to return in the future. The hotel is unusual due to the way it is positioned in the hill side and being twinned with the Olimpo, but this provides more choice on where to eat,... More

first impression of hotel is very shabby, decor and furniture have seen better days. Rooms need decoration, showers and general appearance very shabby. Sheets on beds had holes, towels were not very clean. Staff are not very friendly, waiter service was very hard to obtain but the envelope requesting a tip arrived very promptly on the last evening, tip for... More

Not a great experience... My friend and I booked this hotel and asked for an upgrade as she has been seriously ill and it was her birthday whilst we were on hol and I wanted to make sure it was special. When we arrived, the room we were given was shocking. Small and faced the cable cars that went between... More

We picked the Antares as it gave great value for money (AI package) and had good reviews on trip advisor. The hotel was fine. The quality of the rooms was adequate but not really 4*. The food was excellent; loads of choice and delicious. Antonio deserves a special mention. We used the pool at the Olimpo mostly as it was... More

It is the second time that we were in this hotel, and we like it very much ! Good food, very friendly staff, very beautiful views and very nice place !! Not far from the nice beach with nice bars and restaurants and the bus station to Taormina, which is a very beautiful place ! Last year we were in... More

First of all 90% of hotels which state their location as Taormina are simply not telling the whole story. There can be roughly 2 types of Taormina locations for hotels: the city of Taormina meaning that hotel is directly in city limits (on the mountain) and you have to use a bus or the cable-railway to get to the beach...

My last visit to the Antares was in March this year. Once again it was an enjoyable stay, although it was in the low season the food was just as ample as in the peak season. The presence of Antonio in the restaurant makes you feel so much welcomed as he always makes a big effort to please all the... More
