  Only expect care before you swipe your card

  28 May 2026

  Rooms and restraunt excellent during stay. Front desk does has a gentlemen who really enjoys rolling his eyes. NOT WELL CORDINATED FRONT DESK. When asked for help getting suitcases up a very tall hill which they originally helped us down the hill with, he rolled his eyes and told us we could drag them all up hill ourselves. We have three people in our family with injuries who could not pull weight up hill. Our driver was extremely kind and navigated the tight road down hill backwards to help us. Hotel offered zero help when leaving except handing our driver someone elses bag which further delayed our trip. Leaving other hotel guests missing luggage. We turned around gave them the bag. Then they called agian upset saying we had a 2nd bag which we did not have because we had already turned around and checked all our suite cases. Please expect confusion and rudeness as the front desk upon departure because caring for Guests stops the second you swipe your card.

  A lovely hotel in a great location for exploring Taormina and surrounding area

  10 May 2026

  Just back from a wonderful week staying at Hotel Caparena. The hotel is in a lovely spot right on the beach ( okay there is a train line in front of hotel but trains are not that frequent and really didn’t bother us). The hotel is spotless with rooms cleaned every day. The staff are very welcoming and efficient. The breakfast buffet is really good with lots of choice. The pool area is lovely with comfortable beds and a nice pool bar. The free shuttle to and from Taormina is excellent. We used it every day and the drivers were always polite and punctual. There is also a bus stop right outside the hotel which provides good links to other towns in the area. You can also walk along the beach and promenade into Letojanni which has some nice bars and restaurants. I would definitely recommend this hotel as a great place to stay if you don’t want to be right in the heart of Taormina but close enough to visit when you want to.

  Fantastic hotel!

  07 May 2026

  We had an amazing time at Hotel Caparena and enjoyed everything about it: professional and friendly staff in every aspect, Sicilian exterior, delicious food, lovely pool area, colourful interior details and nice atmosphere in general. Reception staff was always nice and attentive - many many thanks for our room upgrade and early check-in opportunity. Premium room was spacious and spotless with great decor and comfy beds. Noise isolation was very good too, we could barely hear trains passing even though the railway is just in front of the hotel. They do slow down in the late evenings or early mornings, therefore, we had no issues and just loved the view (palm trees, sea waves and an occasional train).The breakfast buffet was good and dinner just fantastic. We are very happy we chose HB option - menu changed every 3 nights so you will not get bored of the same delicious food. A special thanks to the restaurant manager and chef as they both made sure our child would get a wonderful dining experience too. Another great bonus was a complimentary shuttle bus to Taormina and back (it should be noted that hotel guests need to reserve a seat for specific time slot in advance). Drivers were nice and mostly punctual, we only had to wait more than 30 minutes to get back from Taormina centre in the evening because of a heavy traffic that you can't always predict. We stayed there at the end of April, therefore, the beach club was still under maintenance, but we still managed to enjoy some sunny days on complimentary loungers at the beach and Caparena pool. The only place we never went was their wellness club as we were busy with tours around gorgeous Taormina. Overall, we had the best time in this fantastic hotel - it surely is very well managed and we would love to come back!

  Completely Spoiled at Caparena

  14 Oct 2025

  We stayed at Caparena for several days to watch our granddaughter while our adult children were guests at a wedding. The staff at this hotel are very responsive. I made an error when booking and they were extremely understanding and made ever effort to correct it for me. The breakfast buffet was a highlight...they were outstanding with everything you could hope for, particularly if you enjoy sweet treats with coffee in the morning. There was plenty of seating inside and out. The staff is very attentive. As well, we had several wonderful dinners outside under the beautiful evening skies. I cannot express how kind and patient the servers were with our little baby granddaughter...such lovely people. There is a large pool and kiddie pool with a bar just outside the hotel and another eating area and bar by the beach. The beach is fabulous and I highly recommend water shoes for the hot sand and pebbles/rocks. You will want to stay in the water and enjoy this fabulous retreat.The rooms are clean and well maintained. The hotel also offers a shuttle service to Taormina - you can't beat this! You get to visit the most wonderful town, but then enjoy the beauty of the beach and not worry about parking.Thank you for an amazing experience - we loved staying with you. The Management Management, Servizi per gli ospiti/front office at Hotel Caparena, responded to this review Dear GuestThank you so much for taking the time to share such a wonderful and detailed review, and for honoring us with your excellent rating.Reading your kind words truly means a lot to our entire team.

We sincerely hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back again soon for another memorable stay by the sea.Warm regards - The Management.

  Nice Hotel but could be better

  09 Sept 2025

  We had a week stay at hotel caparena and there are plenty of positives but also some suggestions that could of made it better.Positives:* Reception staff very helpful* Food in the main restaurant is very nice both at breakfast and evening meal* Rooms cleaned everyday with fresh towels* kettle with Tea & Coffee in the room ( no milk though)* Private beach (need sea shoes)* Free shuttle taxi to and from Taormina throughout the day and eveningNegatives:* No shop on site or nearby to walk too.* No water or milk in the rooms even though they have put a kettle and tea and coffee in. * Beach restaurant closed* beach sunbeds on a big slant so you keep sliding off them. Not very comfy* no entertainment throughout the day or nightSuggestions:* Pool bar needs a revamp and some low seating * music around the pool would be good * only 4 things on the pool food menu * table service would be nice at the beach bar * some evening entertainment would be good The Management Management, Servizi per gli ospiti/front office at Hotel Caparena, responded to this review Dear Guest,Thank you very much for taking the time to share your detailed review and for the positive rating. We are truly grateful for both your kind words and your valuable suggestions, which are essential to us as we continually strive to improve the comfort and overall experience of our guests.We’re pleased to hear that you appreciated our reception team, the quality of the food in our main restaurant, the daily housekeeping service, and the convenience of our shuttle to Taormina.Regarding your suggestions, please allow us to address a few key points:This year, the natural conformation of the beach has unfortunately not been among the best. Nature itself determines its shape, and while sometimes it leaves us with a wide, level, sandy shoreline, other times we are left with a shorter beach and a steep incline, as was the case this season.As for the new beach restaurant, we sincerely regret that technical issues prevented its opening. However, we are confident that everything will be ready for next summer, and we look forward to offering an enhanced beachfront experience.We also truly appreciate your feedback on the pool bar, entertainment, and services. The idea of music by the pool is an excellent one and has been considered in the past. However, we aim to balance lively ambiance with the desire of many guests who prefer a quiet and relaxing atmosphere, a balance we are continuously working to refine.Reviews like yours are incredibly helpful as they allow us to better understand the needs and expectations of our guests. Your suggestions are already under consideration as we plan future improvements, and we thank you sincerely for your constructive input.We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again and provide an even more enjoyable stay.Warm regards - The Management
