"I can’t say enough about this resort. Incredible location and wonderful hospitality with impeccable service from every level of contact. The the private bungalow was clean and had a comfortable bed. Our bungalow has it’s own private patio with jacuzzi that overlooked the sea. Just incredible. Very relaxing and enjoyable to experience the uniqueness of that with the moon over the bay of Isola Bella as our companion. While the day is lively with energy and guests enjoying the beach, the evenings are quiet and peaceful there where you can hear the lapping of sea on the shore. The beach is like a dream. You never tire of admiring the view of Isola Bella. The water is so clear. Bring your water shoes for the stone beach. The beach attendants and servers were so friendly and accommodating. The food was delicious from the variety and quality at breakfast to the beach club to the restaurants. We enjoyed lunches and dinners there several times and the fresh fish and high quality was truly impressive. We were there for our anniversary and it could not be more romantic and special place to celebrate. The event space they have to host weddings and parties is so beautiful and we were there to see a few a wedding, a baptism and birthday- each unique and beautiful. Amazing location. We have been to Taormina many times and there are many wonderful places to stay however this beach location, the high level service at every point of contact make the La Plage resort one you should not miss!"
"The reception staff were polite and helpful.
We were upgraded and had a room with a terrace and a great view of the city.
The room was clean with tea, coffee and nice toiletries.
The area felt safe, particularly as there were parts of the city that didn’t feel very safe.
Restaurants close by and walking distance of the main attractions."
"Very nice facility with plenty of parking. Very friendly staff and great property for the money. The only problem is that their beach service closes at 4:00 pm. Little too early. "
"Great hotel to spend few days in Catania. Centrally located, walkable with dining and shopping all over. Parking is valet for $25.00 per day. Unfortunately the amenities were not opened during our stay. "
