Albatros Beach Hotel

First of all, food was delicious. We did stayed 5 days and every day has different menu. As a restaurant / catering firm owner, I can say that we ate one of the best foods in sicily in this hotel. It was very surprising for a 4 star hotel. Second, management is very good, staff is very nice but most important that you can see that they like their work. Reception staff very young but professional. Rooms very clean, perfect location. One morning very early a small tractor start working at the beach just front of the hotel and make noise, hotel manager run to the beach and stop the work and send tractor back!)) Funny to see director at the hotel that early). The first day we had a small problem in the room, and thanks to Mario, we could change the room and make a reasonable deal. Only minus, at the bar or room service, there wasn't any small bites with the drinks like every where else. So yes, if we come back to Taormina, we will definitely stay again at this hotel.

Fantastic hotel, no complaints at all. The hotel staff could not do enough for us and were all lovely and friendly. The rooms were nice and spotlessly clean and the breakfast was amazing, love having cake for brekkie, but also lots of other choices too, and they even have a machine to make fresh orange juice, and someone makes fresh coffees. We had a wine tasting experience as part of our package, which was a nice touch and came with a few nibbles. We also had a free bottle of wine in our room on arrival which was really good wine, we thoroughly enjoyed it. We used the hotel shuttle bus to go to Taormina one day, I know you can get local buses for cheaper but the weather was awful so it was so much more convenient. Letojanni is small but lovely, we found a great fish restaurant overlooking the sea (take a right out of the hotel and about a 5 min walk), where you can pick your own fish. Not the cheapest but very nice and reasonable compared to UK prices. The reception staff helped us book the Godfather tour one day, it was only 18 euros so much cheaper than pre booking from the UK, its an open topped bus which takes you to Savoca and Forta d'agra (not sure if I got that right!), and although you don't get a tour guide its not really needed. My friends hadn't seen the Godfather films but still enjoyed it, they are lovely little quaint villages to visit. If you're looking for a cheap eat lunchtime then there are a couple of places that sell arancino balls on the street behind the hotel, they're delicious, come in different flavours, come warm and are filling and cheap. I would also recommend the Cannoli from near here too, they fill them fresh for you. There is a co-op on that street too if you need water etc. and we bought lots of hard cheese and cannoli shells etc. to take home. The hotel didn't have any beds on the beach when we were there so we went to the nearest bar which had them and they were only 10Euro for 2 beds, this may go up in peak season though. There is a lady called Lili that gives massages on the beach too, she gives a cracking back massage for 10euro, so look out for her. We only had 4 nights but would love to return when we can. Highly recommend.

What a brilliant hotel. The spotlessly clean rooms are beautifully fitted out and the beds are super comfy. We stayed for 5 nights and didn’t need lunch once as the buffet breakfast choices were delicious and varied. The staff are knowledgeable, helpful and kind and genuinely seem to love working there! We will definitely recommend Albatros Beach View to friends and family, and are pretty sure we will come back to this lovely little town and this fabulous hotel.

This hotel surpassed our expectations. The hotel is modern, stylish and very clean. Staff were friendly and incredibly helpful. We were upgraded to a sea view junior suite and it was amazing. A big room with everything we needed and superb views. The breakfasts were tasty with varied choices. We especially liked the freshly squeezed Sicilian orange juice and freshly made coffees. There was a vast selection of every pastry and cake you could think of as well as savoury choices. There is a nice little pool area which I would imagine might get busy in the summer however you have the beach just across the road. Finally there is a courtesy bus which runs to and from Taormina which we found very handy. Highly recommended.

What a lovely little hotel! Clean, modern, friendly staff and lovely fresh coffee and juice served with breakfast. We also had the wine tasting included at the hotel with our stay, Tamara was very knowledgable and it was great value for money. Only a 10 min drive to Taormina and we also visited Savoca and Castelmola which are also close by and we'd recommend!

Lovely hotel. Immaculately clean. Excellent food with waiter service. Staff were really good. Special mention to Lucy and Tino in the restaurant. We were with Saga Holidays and our host Trina was very helpful too. Letojanni is a small resort and was quiet when we were there however there were still bars and restaurants open and local shops. Easy bus ride into Taomina. There is a railway station for trips further afield.

Based on the reviews that I had read, I booked two nights here. I needed a stay close to the main railway to Messina. This hotel ticked all my boxes but exceeded my (already good) expectations. My only regret is that I couldn’t have the kids with me as they would have had a great holiday. Wonderful staff - polite and friendly. Quiet enough to get two good nights’ sleep. I’d upgraded to balcony although the cheaper room would have been just as good. Letojanni is delightful. Less popular than nearby Taormina but better if you just want a quiet break.

Booked with easyJet for a relatively cheap getaway for 4 nights. Extremely impressed with hotel which offers high end accommodation. The hotel is decorated beautifully with a real boutique feel to it. Service was good and the breakfast which was included could not be faulted with something for everybody’s taste. The restaurant which also served lunch and dinner was of a high standard and again reasonably priced. The location is excellent however the local vicinity has limited restaurants and amenities, however certainly enough for a short stay. The hotel does offer a shuttle service to Taormina which is definitely worth a visit. My only quibble which is possibly just a me thing, was the seating by the small pool was rather uncomfortable and impractical, although looks great 😊. The beach is just across the road so this is easily sorted. Be aware though the private beach with beds only operates during high season. (June through to September)

Loved this super clean hotel with the best staff we’ve encountered for quite a while. Always pleasant, always available to assist you in any way possible. The reception staff went above and beyond in my opinion. Thank you .. The rooms were clean and tidy with enough space to put your belongings for the time we had there. We had a side sea view room that was just as good as a full sea view in my opinion. The shower was always hot and powerful. Watch your travel plugs… this hotel uses the newer 3 pin straight plug. Make sure your travel adapter is a thin pin plug as we had mainly fat pin plugs that didn’t fit. Luckily we had a thin pin one. Breakfast was plentiful with nearly everything you could want. The shortbread biscuits (yes at breakfast) were outstanding as was the fruit, especially the pineapple. They also had an Orange Squeezer machine for your fresh orange. No concentrate here. We ate dinner here on our one night and the food was lovely, the restaurant just lacked ambiance.. Turn some of the lights out please… It was too bright and too stark for dinner… The wine tasting was great as it got you chatting to fellow guests quicker that the norm and made the hotel a very friendly place to be. Now the negative bits… And it’s a shame I have to put this but it’s a review….. The pool is a waste of time…. If you want a pool with sun-beds this hotel isn’t for you. The chairs around the plunge pool were just for it to look modern… nothing else. I begrudgingly had to pay €15 a day for 2 sun-beds and an umbrella to sit on the hotels beach. You also have to pay €5 if you wanted 2 fried eggs at breakfast as they only supplied scrambled egg. However this didn’t bother me, I’m just supplying the information. Would I return… Definitely for the hotel and staff but we were disappointed with the plunge pool.
