We spent a fantastic week diving from the cliffs, snorkeling and swimming in the seawater pool. In walking distance from downtown we had all the flexibility we wanted. Stay calm in the hotel for a traditional 3 course dinner or choose one of the many nice restaurants nearby.

All was well with our brief but wonderful stay at Arathena....very quriky, full of persolnality, something to catch ones attention at every turn, views of mt etna, tauromina and boats bobbing in the warm mediterrian but also the interiors abundant displays of furniture, mirrors, eastern influences... it was like sinbads cave, just full of delights but the most remarkable aspect...

We spent three Nights at the Arathena Rocks. Our room was gorgeous: very large, nicely furnished, with a nice balcony (with view on the sea shore), a bath with a bath tub. Located directly by the sea (where you can swim). There is also a swimming pool and you can get towels for free. Disappointing: the kitchen for dinner (... More

I really liked our stay at this hotel. We had a standard room so the decor wasn't quite modern and the TV only had a few channels but I loved opening our French balcony doors in the morning and seeing views of Etna. The shower didn't always have hot water but it was so hot outside I didn't really mind.... 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!

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.
