We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Hotel Santa Tecla Palace. The facilities were excellent - beautiful infinity pool overlooking the sea, just like the photos. Plenty of sunbeds to relax in. Easy access to swim in the sea from the hotel, with lifeguards on duty. Delicious food at all the restaurants. There isn't much to do in the immediate surrounding area - we walked into the nearest town one evening but we decided that the bars and restaurants on offer at the hotel were much nicer. This was perfect for us as we had intended our short trip to be a relaxing one based in the hotel, but for anyone hoping to explore Sicily a bit more I'd recommend renting a car, as taxis can be expensive.

Amazing hotel

We had a fabulous stay at Hotel Santa Tecla Palace. Staff were so friendly and helpful. Food was excellent as was the service. The pool is as amazing as it looks in the photos. It’s clean and the lifeguards are very helpful. The sea was lovely, easy access and crystal clear water. Reception staff are also very helpful. What a treat to stay here and we will definitely be back! I would say that if you want to see the surrounding areas hiring a car is helpful.

we stayed 5 nights. Although it seems that the hotel is not full, the receptionist refused to give us an upgrade to see view room. Room was comfortable, but bed is not very comfortable. On the contrary to the reception, the staff in the bar and on the terrace with the pool was very friendly and helpful, especially the life guard boy(I don't know his name) who gave us many tips of local interest, where to eat as a local, what is worth visiting, where to shop... If you plan to stay there you need a car to explore the area from Taormina to Catania, and further south to Syracusa, Notto...

Disappointing, outdated. Not 4 star.

Disappointing, infested with little bugs flying in the room. Bathroom much to be desired, old and barely any water pressure from the showerhead. We were given a room in the old part of the building in spite of having several rooms available in the renovated wing. Service is certainly not with a smile.

The situation of the hotel was excellent. The overall look of the lobby was beautiful. The pool was very clean and the pool attendants were helpful and friendly. Claudio the bellboy was really attentive and courteous. One of the reception staff was rude when challenged about the condition of the rooms. The electrician was incredibly rude. The bathroom in the room we booked had black mould in the bath and we were told that it was the silica. The room also smelled musty. The alarm cord was filthy. We asked the bathroom to be cleaned...but it was not done to the standard we expect of a 4 star hotel. We saw 4 other rooms...one had a bathroom in the same state and two others had no working aircon. When we informed front desk, he told us that he is the one who works in the hotel therefore he is the one who knows and asked us \"whether we were the master of the hotel ? We eventually picked up the last available room with a clean bathroom but the paint was peeling of the ceiling. we were told it would be sorted but it was not done.

Hotel Santa Tecla Palace

The hotel has an impressive location with a wonderful outside pool area and access to the sea via stairs falling directly into the sea (overseen by lifeguard). Rooms are a bit tired but perfectly functional considering the time you would spend in them (mini fridge and safe). Free parking and excellent free wifi.
The outdoor pool and multiple sun deck areas flows into the multiple restaurants/bars making the most of the sea view.
Easy walk into town if you want to try the local restaurants specialising in fresh fish.
Reception were happy to let me continue to ise services post checkout and offered to extend my checkout time.

A very stylish hotel but with few surrounding attractions. If you want a romantic out of season hideaway this would be ideal. We might have expected a little more attention to detail considering the price. While our room was clean and spacious and had a wonderful sea view, several items were broken or 'tired'. The Hotel offered few facilities out of season although service was friendly and attentive. Good location for exploring the Eastern side of the Island.

Yes with reservations

The hotel is beautifully appointed with an infinity pool and landscaped grounds with a very well designed terrace. The entrance,common areas and restaurants are very good and food quality excellent.
Unfortunately because of the size of hotel it is used for conferences/package tours from France and UK and weddings. If you enjoy people watching this is great, especially the weddings but it can get a little crowded at times and the terrace is dismantled for events.
The 2 days the hotel did not have events were bliss and during the day it can be quiet if no conferences and weddings. I am sure this was high season for weddings-we had zero rainfall in a week and 3 weddings. This is an excellent location for touring to many spectacular east and south coast sites and climbing Etna. Just choose your season well.
Also we asked for a room with 2 queen beds and were given twins. We still had a good time but it took the edge of it and reduced comfort levels.

Rolig og avslappendes

Det var et stort, rolig hotell, egentlig kun italienske turister. Hotellet har 1 restaurant , men der er mange små lokale restautanter i delvis gåavstand fra hotellet. Disse er en god del rimeligere enn hotellet .
I ukedagene var der roligere enn i helgene. Fint bassengområde med bar/ snacks og litt musikk.
De aller fleste av betjeningen var imøtekommende .
Godt renhold. Gratis solstoler og håndduker hver dag. Trapp ned til sjøen. Det er ikke strender i nærheten. Det er lite å foreta seg utenfor hotellet. Nærmeste by er Acireale, 3 km unna, i bratte bakker. Nærmeste supermarked med 900m

Zimmer war sehr alt, renovierungsbedürftig.
An dem Bettgestell war es sehr staubig

Nice hotel - nice room, amazing pool area

This was my first stay at the hotel. We were overall happy with our stay. The room was spacious and clean with a nice view, despite being located in the southern wing. AC worked well. Ample parking space which is valuable as well.

The highlight of the hotel is the (salt water) pool area which is stunning and spacious with sun from morning to evening. The hotel also offers easy access to the sea if you prefer that, with rental SUPs etc.

The restaurant serves really great food - pricey for the area, but reasonable given that’s it’s a hotel restaurant. Great service and generous portions.

On the negative side: the hotel has no concierge which surprised me, and when I asked for help booking tickets to an event I received none.

The sunbeds are plastic: uncomfortable and poor looking. Would be nice to see them acquire new sun beds would elevate the overall experience.

The cushions/bedpillows were flat and hard - it’s an Italian thing, not worse or better than most hotels. But would love if the reception could offer other types of pillows.

All in all a very good experience.

Tv da cambiare con tecnologia di questo millennio.

Pessima la televisione da 19” è TERRIBILE considerando costo della notte e dimensione della camera, serviva un binocolo per guardarla. Credo sia improponibile nel 2024 una tv così piccola e soprattutto non SMART.
Bello il panorama, la piscina e ottima colazione!

Dårlig oplevelse og forkerte oplysninger. Skuffet!

Vi havde glædet os til vores 5 dags ferie på Hotel Santa Tecla Palace. Desværre blev det et rigtig dårlig ophold både fra hotels side og hotels.com.
Det startede ud med vi ankommer til hotellet og de spørger om vi vil betale 20 euro ekstra per dag fra hav udsigt i stedet for natur udsigt. Vi havde læst os frem til at det var samme pris på hjemmesiden om det var “ natur “ udsigt eller “ hav “ udsigt så var det samme pris. Vi takkede nej tak til hav udsigt og de ekstra 20 euro per dag. Alligevel fik så hav udsigt som vi nok tænkte vi ville få, men hotellet prøvede lige lokke lidt ekstra penge ud lommen. Nogle timer efter spørger vi efter det mini golf som står under faciliteter at de har på hotellet, men får af vide at de ikke har haft det i mange år. Vi havde valgt hotel blandt andet på grund af deres mini golf, men det var intet af. Hotels.com påstår så at hotellet har opgraderet vores værelse til hav udsigt på grund af det manglede mini golf, hvilket er forkert. Det var et ganske normalt værelse. Senere vælger vi skulle spille pool, det skal man betale for og ikke nok med det så er pool bordet skævt, så det er ikke rigtig spilbart.
Deres receptionist en mand med briller utrolig smart og arrogant, meget lidt hjælpsom. Vi spurgte efter hjælp efter taxa der var ikke meget hjælp at hente og han gik.
Når man tjekker ud skal man så også betale 30 euro for ekstra gebyr. Alt i alt en utrolig dårlig oplevelse og forkerte oplysninger fra hotels.com. Voldsomt skuffende desværre.

Fint hotell. Dock inte 4 restauranger - frukosten (mkt bra) och en restaurang med mycket god mat och fin service. Kanske är fler öppna i högsäsong.
Man kan promenera bort till lilla samhället och äta på andra restauranger. Men om man inte har bil el bokar taxi kan det bli lite isolerat.
Passar bäst som weekend.
Vi har trivts väldigt bra!

La vue uniquement!
Hôtel sans aucune Âme avec des extérieurs digne d’un 2 étoiles mais pas 4. Il est très bruyant et le matin à l’heure où tous le monde va au toilette et tire la chasse d’eau, vous avez fini votre nuit. Le personnel n’est pas du tout aimable, sauf une ou deux personnes. Au petit déjeuner, une seule machine à café avec uniquement qu’un doseur pour tout l’hôtel, cela une file d’attente énorme et des gens qui s’énervent. Aucune animation, une restauration trop chère, aucun intérêt en soit.
Je ne recommande pas cet hôtel.

The location is great if you have a car. The staff is friendly. Especially the young couple at the pool, but one guy was so rood that we didn’t feel welcomed. The hotel was filled with local people not living in the hotel in the weekends this changed the standard of the clients. At breakfast we had to stand in line for a long time to get coffee but the the view was great. We complained about an animal on our rooftop waking us up in the morning at 6:30. It was a big one size of a dog and no one took us seriously. We have visited the place 3 times and stayed two weeks, this time the price was double up. It’s a pity as the hotel was almost empty with better prices the hotel could be full. The restaurant is really good but the system with some staff that can take orders and some not makes it slow. They are all kind I have to underline. The hotel shows signs of not being maintained for a long time.

Mi sono recata con la mia famiglia per un weekend di relax. Inizialmente abbiamo avuto qualche spiacevole inconveniente sulla prenotazione, ma che il personale disponibile e preparato ha subito risolto in maniera più che soddisfacente. Bellissima la location, ristorante interno eccellente. Unica pecca, che le piscine sono aperte al pubblico esterno e chi alloggia rischia di non trovare sdraio disponibili.
Per il resto veramente da 5 stelle.
