Sant'Alphio Garden Hotel & SPA

Visited for 3 nights as part of a Titan tour. Overall very good and we had our evening meals included here too. A bonus would have been to serve tea/coffee at the table at breakfast. Perfectly adequate breakfast and staff attentive in evening.

We enjoyed our 3 night stay here. Our room was comfortable and spasios. We found breakfast to be ample, although the juice was not great. We had evening meal each day and our food was served quickly and with a smile. Remember, you are in Italy and they do eat there food later and differently than Brits. I really enjoyed my meals. The pool area was lovely and the water refreshing.

Went with Riviera travel. The hotel is clean and staff friendly and helpful. Breakfast is largely continental so you're not getting a UK fry up. There's pastries, bread,cheese,ham,cereals (admittedly not Kellogg's quality), fruit both fresh and tinned. Usual fairly useless toaster available but that's the same in most hotels, UK and abroad. Good opportunity to chat with other guests! Evening meals are not cordon bleu but perfectly acceptable, you're not going to starve. Travelling with a tour group therefore evening meals are not a la carte. Rooms seem to be of variable quality. Ours was fairly large, plenty of plug sockets both beside the bed and near a mirror, ( novel idea, whoever would have thought having a plug socket near a mirror was a good idea 😄), loads of wardrobe space, lots of drawers. Even a full length mirror attached to the wall. Perfectly happy 😊 If you want to eat out, it's a short walk to restaurants and supermarkets. Pool area pleasant many sunbeds. Overall don't expect 5* and you'll be happy.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! It's a nice, quiet place with a large pool that's perfect for relaxing. The location is very convenient, within walking distance to the sea, restaurants, grocery stores, and souvenir shops. I especially enjoyed the spa, had a treatment by therapist Loredana, which made my stay even more relaxing. Highly recommend!

Very nice grounds, pool area good, pity pool bar is rarely open. Lounge and bar area has been recently refurbished but impossible to be served. Dining room is HUGE and therefore staff have no time to be pleasant! Food selection and quality isn’t great. Breakfast has tinned fruit, cold broccoli and cold squares of spinach. Rooms are clean but basic, there is no kettle,

I booked this hotel on a EasyJet holiday before I saw the negative reviews and was thinking I’d made a mistake. How wrong I was - an excellent hotel. I just don’t get the negative comments. 1. Breakfast - a vast choice of continental items (no, they don’t have heavy cheeses at breakfast, it’s a light meal), if you want a full English then you go to England for it. There was very decent scrambled eggs, toast, breakfast sausages and onions, should you want it, as well as cold breakfast meats and cheese, salads items, hard boiled eggs, cereals, fruit, enormous range of pastries and sweet items, bread rolls, preserves, etc. what more could you possibly eat? Decent quality 2. Rooms - ours was spacious and clean. Ok so maybe more of a nod to 80s style, but nothing wrong with it. Very happy. 3. Grounds - very pretty, lovely pool, quiet and relaxing. 5. Staff - everyone was friendly and helpful 6. Location - on the edge of GN but walkable into town, plus restaurants, mini supermarkets, gift shops, in roads just meters from the hotel. Bussed into Taormina and Catania from the bus stop a 4 minute walk away.

Lovely hotel. Attractive pool and garden area. Local area around hotel is most unattractive. Beach ( 75 yards away) was disappointing. Pleasand clean room. Dining room was attractive. Staff smartly dressed. The food at dinner time was WORST I ever experienced anywhere. Menu description was like Master Chef.. Ha Ha. Luckily 5 small attractive italian restaurants 75 yards behind the hotel saved 2 nights for us at our extra cost. Hotel busy with North American tour groups too

The only smile was from the chambermaid They do not have a heated pool its cold as ice Indoor pool is part of Spa which is €15 each per day No coffee tea facility in rooms You cannot consume your own juice beer food at the pool you will be asked to leave. You can only consume what they sell and its not cheap In the rooms clean tidy but not what your given in brochure. Our room was tiny. Italian guests and Italian tour companies get the best rooms Walls are thin so you can hear everything above and around you from the toilet and bedroom Lobby is the best place clean bright opulent Would not recommend Breakfast pastries bread fruit cereal hot/cold beverages burnt scrambled egg and cold hard boiled eggs Gluten Free Available
