호텔 바이아 아주라(Hotel Baia Azzurra)

L'hôtel Baia Azzurra est bien placé (face à la mer) mais on sent que cet établissement aurait besoin d'un profond et sérieux rafraichissement ! Il dispose d'un parking accessible par l'arrière du bâtiment avec un surcoût de 10 €.

早餐很不錯，住在高樓層景觀很好，而且確實離貝拉島很近，纜車下山後走2分鐘就到了。 去車站可以和前台預約打車，人均10歐5分鐘就到了。 比較無語的是説好了有泳池，但是直接説網站訊息有誤！

Ottima posizione

Отель хороший,чистый,персонал приятный.Номер правда без вида,но есть хорошая терасса у отеля с видом на море,в номере только спали.Завтрак хороший,кофе не понравилось.Есть магазин рядом.

如果不住豪華間的話，建議考慮同價位其他酒店，我的普通房間很小沒啥東西，設備也很老舊，關鍵是窗打開不會有任何風景，和宣傳的海景完全不同，不如三星級

The expectations were set high, thanks to those positive reviews. But it appears the reviewers were residing in an alternate dimension because this place was nothing short of a disaster! It's not often when I feel a sense of relief when checking out... Let's talk about the air conditioning, or should I say, the lack thereof. It was a sizzling heat wave, and you would expect a 4-star hotel to provide some relief from the scorching temperatures. But no, that would be asking too much! The AC was as useful as a chocolate teapot, leaving you to roast in your own juices at 30 degrees. Not only that, it was also rattling like a broken washing machine. And good luck trying to address this issue with the reception, who seemed to be experts in the art of sarcasm and deflection. On multiple calls their excuse was that they don't speak English and hang up! Reception doesn't speak basic English in an international 4 star hotel?! Now to the building itself! A poorly maintained relic and showing all the signs of neglect. Crumbling plasterboard walls, questionable wiring, rubbed off paint... How they managed to muster up 4 stars is beyond comprehension. Perhaps by exploiting the gorgeous Italian nature? I dare say it's a 2-star motel at best. And don't even get me started on the so-called "facilities." No pool, no spa, no private beach, no entertainment, not even a working AC. Everything else that is there needs extra payment, like their parking (10€/day), which requires a masterclass in off-road driving to get there. Oh, the regular noise of passing trains is free! As for the pricing, well, it’s a scam! A little booking mistake led to a jaw-dropping 70€ surcharge per night to change occupancy from single to double in a double room (without breakfast). How can this be justified when the same room on Agoda (same date, 2ppl) was 100€? And don't bother mentioning their so-called "price guarantee" on the hotel's web site – they probably laugh at that behind closed doors while ripping you off. And what about breakfast? If not included, that'll set you back a cool 25€. They must think their continental breakfast is fit for kings, but in reality, it's pretty pitiful. Rotten fruit, anyone? Yum!(see photos) I have also seen a small handful of people dining at the hotel (apparently they have a package with dinner) but diners looked tired and unexcited. Lets hope it's the heat. Sure, the location might be somewhat decent, but that's if you're content with sitting on the beach all day, shelling out a small fortune for sunbeds in a local Lido (35€ pp). Otherwise, you'll find yourself isolated with no decent food options or sightseeing opportunities (Bella island is one exception). If you crave a glimpse of Taormina's posh side, be prepared for a 30-minute queue for the cable car for 6€ return. I suggest you consider booking something up the hill. In summary, if you want to live in an overpriced and underwhelming hotel with suffocating rooms - stay in Baia Azzurra. PS.

The hotel is in a great location we had amazing views from our sea facing balcony room. The bedroom was acceptable for a 3 star hotel the beds are very comfortable and cleaned daily, but they could do with more storage space for a 7 night stay. The bathroom was a little worn in places with shower over bath a little fiddly to use but adequate.. The staff are lovely , helpful and friendly creating a pleasant atmosphere with cheerful chat. Don’t expect a cooked breakfast you can have scrambled egg and bacon but we found it cold as it was in unheated trays. There was fruit and a selection of ham and cheese slices and cakes and other sweet items. Overall the hotel is very good located near the cable car to Taormina and a good local bus stop 1.90 euro per person plus other excursions like the hop on hop off bus, local mini market shops. Restaurants in the area are generally good but you can walk up to Issobella along to you right from the hotel up the hill where there some good restaurants.

Amazing hotel - every single member of staff was friendly and helpful, but particularly Pamela on the reception desk. Breakfast buffet was very varied and fresh, we were able to change our room for one with a balcony (although our original room was fine). Hotel 10 mins walk from the beach. Highly recommend.
