Hotel ratings by criteria:
great vacation for the money. . .
Beach: pebbles, you need to pay for umbrellas, your umbrella can only be on a nearby beach - (climb over the rope) your umbrella is much more profitable - only 10 euros the water is clean without algae, although across the road (the road is narrow - traffic is not busy) but go from the room a few meters
Weather: out of 8 days, two were with clouds, and so 25-27
Room: if you go, then only with a sea view, the rest go out onto a dirty creepy courtyard, it’s better to pay extra, which we did, especially since they are bigger with a sea view, in general, for 3 stars it’s very decent

Entertainment: from the beach they ride a boat through the grottoes - not bad, a hotel for those who like to lie quietly in the sun, there are bars, restaurants nearby, but without crowds of young people, it’s worth a trip to Taormina - 15 minutes by minibus =) wonderful park, beautiful views of Etna from the mountain where the castle is. many shops. it makes sense to go to Etna only with an extra charge for climbing to the very top - it's very cool - we witnessed a small eruption (at a safe distance =), but the standard excursion (cheaper - to a height of 1000m or something) - divorce - there is nothing to look at .
Hotel: there is a Russian-speaking girl in the restaurant - breakfast is poor, it’s better not to pay for dinner - food is better in neighboring restaurants, for example, to the right of the hotel (if you look at the sea) on the embankment - fish =), there is no safe, the local travel agency forced to drag from moving to the hotel 300 meters with suitcases and back, too, thanks to the company Eureale viaggio (with Russian staff), one tour group was thrown on a bus with a driver on the way from the airport at 2 am - as a result, they themselves had to look for a hotel at night and walk 300 meters - service is disgusting. in the hotel staff privetlvy cleaners also come across Russian.
