This hotel has everything you need, but nothing was spectacular. The entire hotel needs a deep clean, the room was dirty and hardly any furniture in it. The breakfast was very mediocre. The location on the beach is nice, but the pool looked too dirty to swim in. I’m assuming the hotel used to be a 4 star, but now I wouldn’t call it that.

Everything was great! The room, the hotel grounds, the pool, the beach… all amazing. The only problem was the bar man at the bar near the pool. He was very rude, unhelpful, and should not be in a customer service role. He let down the entire experience because of his lazy, disinterested attitude.

What expecting more for a 4 stars....
The breakfast was not good for a 4 stars hotel. The staff was not friendly and also not helpful with the informations regarding activies in the area, such as Etna, vineyards, Taormina and Catania airport situation. The rooms are not very well isolated, you can hear when people open/close their doors. There is a live musician that plays and sings until midnight by the every night that we were there. Impossible to sleep.... Pool closes so early when there is not even a lifeguard nearby...

Ageing glamour in need of a soul
Perhaps a glamourous hotel in its day, it is now a little tired. The shower is very small and bathroom needs updating. Beautiful views from large balcony over pool and beach beyond. This is not a bad hotel, it just feels a little soulless and in a different era.

2015 Hot July Taormina Trip at the Hellenia YH
Beautiful hotel from the outside and from the inside. It could use a little updating but a marvelous building nonetheless. First night we had some problems because the AC in our room wasn't working properly. We had booked 4 rooms and we (by chance) got assigned the only one that had problems. They however moved us to another room without any issue. The stuff was incredible, kind, attentive, fast and couldn't do enough for you. The breakfast crew and the pool bar crew were fantastic. We didn't expect the charge for the umbrella and chairs at the private beach but it wasn't a big deal any way. Staff was great, hotel is very nice, location is fantastic with plenty of options to eat across the street (I suggest Valentino) and a mile or so down the road in Naxos. Great choice overall.

Almost perfect
To my great fortune, the Hilton next door to the Hellenia, where my conference was being held, was fully booked. The Hellenia is beautiful to see, inside and out, quietly elegant, with an atmosphere of calm and gentility. The quiet extended to the room: Mine was a double with two balconies overlooking the Mediterranean Sea and the handsome terrace/pool area below. I slept well and enjoyed the atmosphere. The breakfast could have been a bit more creative. Two things prevent me from giving a five-star review, however. I found the front desk personnel to be stand-offish, and seemingly preoccupied with more important business; this is in marked contrast to the overall friendliness and helpfulness of Sicilians in general. And despite the claim of offering wireless connectivity, there was no internet service – wireless or wired – during my five-day stay at the Hellenia. "Is broken" was the only response I received. I asked whether it would be repaired soon. The reply was a shrug.

Nice Hotel / Great Location
The location of Hellenia Yachting is it's best and worst feature. Worst because it's a little difficult to get to at first and there is very little parking at the hotel. I had rented a car. However, the people there, including the other guests who had cars, were all very cooperative. Periodically you find yourself being called to move your car so someone else can get out. But, this is an excellent location in that they are right on the water. You have a choice of hanging by the pool or just walking down a flight of stairs to the beach. Also, plenty of nice restaurants within walking distance and the bus stop is just around the corner. Food was very good, I like this hotel a lot.
