We absolutely loved our stay at Lido Mediterranee. The staff are attentive and professional, and the hotel Is managed well and efficiently. Outside terrace is beautiful and I love the vintage vibe of the rest of the amenities. Beautiful sea views too.

The hotel was in a privileged area, with beautiful views. The vintage surroundings and decor transport you back in time to the golden era of movie stars. The staff was really attentive and the breakfast was bountiful. I highly recommend it.

The hotel is outdated, the drain in the room shower is clogged and I've got a nail fungus. The hotel is full of moskitos and I ddin't sleep all nights. The breakfast was very poor for 4-stars hotel. The was only one thing that really great - font desk clerk MonaLisa. She was very friendly and helpful with all our requests.

excellent value beachfront retreat with great serv
Great beachfront retreat. See and listen to the sea from most rooms. Incredibly solicitous staff at the front desk, in dining area and on the beach. The rooms are a bit small but comfortable. Very good value in expensive Taormina area. When we stayed in Mid October the beach and balcony area was shaded because of the cliffs behind- which must apply to many beachfront properties in the area. So plan on doing swimming and sunbathing before 2 or 3pm. The property is almost a kilometer walk to the cable car that goes up to central Taormina along a beautiful but dangerous road with no sidewalk. This distance provides some relief from the crowds in many parts of Taormina

A 4* hotel that needs to live up to its rating.
An older property. The public rooms are kept nice and clean but the rooms are in need of new furniture and plumbing. The TV set (very small - is still an analog model) We were told we were getting an update but I couldn't see what the difference was with the room I had booked (Photo, amenities) The breakfast is plentiful but average. There were no takers for the scrambled eggs, bacon, and what looked like mini hot dogs. It did not look appetizing at all. The fruit except for the kiwi all came from cans. On the plus side, every one there was very helpful, professional and friendly. The gardens are well kept with beautiful and interesting plants we had not seen before. The view of the sea is magnificent, especially at sunrise.

Great Location, however
The good thing about this hotel is the location, however, this hotel built in 1968 is so far beyond repair and maintenance that only a total renovation or a complete rebuild would have us considering returning. For example, after we changed from our first room at 60 Euros per night extra, in the second "upgraded" room the shower leaked, the toilet was nearly impossible to flush (my wife was unable to push the flush mechanism leaving me the duty) and to used the toilet you had to either put your feet in the shower or sit sideways. The decor was without a doubt the original floor, doors, and furniture from the 1968 build. The only newer item was the 20" tube tv from the 1980's?????!!!! The common areas are as dated and worn out as the rooms. This is a terrible hotel. There was no amount of effort that the staff could exert to make up for the location and their obvious frustration came through at the breakfast service when my wife was yelled at for getting a coffee 10 minutes early and we were stopped from taking a coffee and croissant to our room to enjoy on our balcony. For anyone reading this please understand we have spent two beautiful weeks in Sicily. We've rented a car and toured the island stopping in many locations, all were enjoyable with beautiful scenery and people. We've loved it!!! We have written this hoping to help you make the smart decision to NEVER book at this hotel.

This review is a typical example of the result of booking the minimum and then claiming the maximum but free.

We did enjoy our stay. We knew it was an older hotel and that was part of its charm the & staff very helpful. One area we would suggest improvements is the breakfast. To match the glorious surrounding the food was quite basic. Not many hotels serve tinned fruit so local fresh fruit would have been so much nicer On the whole a hotel we would be happy to recommend.

The hotel was lovely. We had a room for 4 which had plenty of space and a beautiful view. The hotel beach was very nice and convenient for our son, who has a learning disability. The staff were very helpful. We especially enjoyed sitting on the hotel terrace overlooking the bay whilst eating breakfast, dinner or having drinks. We had no trouble parking at the hotel. Although the hotel is not far from other restaurants and hotels, the road has no pavement which meant that we tended to use the car if going out for dinner.

Proximity to beach a plus. Proximity to center of Taormina where restaurants and shopping are was a negative. No easy way to get to town other than car or taxi. If you are a beach person, this is a great location. Staff very pleasant and helpful.

Will return ASAP!
Perfect. The location, the hotel itself, the food, everything. Pretty amazing how well the 50s/60s furniture and fixtures have been preserved. Previous reviews that mention that the hotel is 'old' aren't actually fair. No, the hotel does not have flat screen televisions, nor anything else that would destroy its character for that matter. It does have incredible charm and it would be very sad to see it updated to become just another hotel. The staff was perfect also. Heaven.

Our honeymoon
Our honeymoon in Taormina was made all the more spectacular by our stay at Hotel Lido Méditerranée. Ideal location, we particularly LOVED the private beach which we could access whenever we wanted. Picturesque views which had me up at 5am every morning looking out from our balcony.. Most friendly and helpful lovely staff - in particular Julia and Francesco who really went out of their way to assist us and make sure our stay was perfect. Thank you Hotel Lido Méditerranée for the wonderful memories.

Great location, Hotel provide enough and easy parking space which is very crucial for traveler who visit Sicily. Stuff are so friendly and helpful, hotel restaurant serve good food and upscale service but reasonable price. We will be back to Taormina Sicily, and hotel Lido Mediterranee will be our home for sure!

Loved our stay. Julia and the rest of the front desk staff were great. I strongly recommend splurging for the balcony over the ocean. Great to hear the waves crashing at night. Yes, the decor is dated but that was part of the charm. One negative was not enough parking if you come in late at night.

Picture perfect views
The view from the room onto the beach was stunning. If the hotel was a little dated in decor and furniture it made up for it in views and how great the staff were. The older gentlemen who looks after the restaurant was a legend, getting me my gluten free toast every morning. Beach chairs are also included with towels (as opposed to €25 at Isola Bella beach lol).
