Grand Hotel Yachting Palace

This was our first trip to Sicily and we had heard that taxis could be costly. I asked the reception to book me a taxi to avoid being ripped off. The taxi they booked me cost 35 Euros for 3.7 miles! Do not trust this hotel!

This hotel was very elegant and we love the breakfast on the rooftop deck as well as the pool!

si nota subito che si tratta si una struttura datata, hanno fatto dei lavori di ammodernamento lasciando intatte le cose vecchie, sanitari e rubinetterie macchiati e con segni di una scarsa cura nella pulizia, buchi nei muri rattoppati, nella nostra camera "superior" hanno lasciato la vecchia vasca da bagno, materassi con molle abbastanza scomodi, gli asciugamani erano vecchi e usurati, segno di poca attenzione anche da parte del personale addetto al controllo. Dalle foto viste in fase di prenotazione ci aspettavamo una struttura più ospitale...le aspettative sono andate deluse.

Accueil parlant anglais, chambre assez grande pour 4, bonne literie mais oreillers a remplacer. Trop peu d’équipements fournis pour faire sécher serviettes et maillots. Piscine très bien

Beautiful and comfortable room. Amazing view of Etna from our room and balcony. Staff was very gentle and helpful. Breakfast and dinner were both very tasty. Very clean. A little confusing finding your room in the second building.

We had an enjoyable and relaxing stay, reception team very welcoming, friendly, pleasant, informative and professional. Rooms extremely well presented. Cleaned daily and towels changed daily. A fridge with complimentary water to start you off and a pop to local shop to buy some more. Rooms have A/C (good once it's mastered). Bed we found comfortable with clean sheets daily. Well down to cleaning personnel. Swimming pool great always a lounger no need to reserve with a towel, the beach is a stones throw away with a bathing bay although it's a bit rocky. On leaving a deck was installed for the public. Afternoon/evening on the roof, well done to all the staff, again welcoming, professional and helpful. Excellent views to the front the sea and behind is Etna. Breakfast plenty on offer great selection of continental. It can get busy at times, always topped up when food gets low, Staff are very helpful and if it's not there just ask,they always oblige. Location is great for the town, lovely walks there's old and new buildings (mostly old). Shops and restaurants near by and lots of choices. Railway station not far and cheap to use, so your not far from Catania or Taormina. Overall we had a lovely time here. Big thank you to all the staff for a pleasant stay. 😊

I had 3 nights at this hotel and would highly recommend it. The rooms were nice enough with balconys that you could see out to the ocean from. Breakfast was nice enough with lots of choices. The staff were nice particularly the evening receptionist. I had my bag go missing during my flight and she put is much effort to have it delivered to the hotel prior to my leaving. The only issue I found was wifi was not very good in the room, you have to use the free wifi in the reception arear. Regardless I would recommend a stay here, pool area is lovely.

Taking my Mom back to here hometown of Reposto after 52 years was exciting and a bit intimidating. We stayed at the Yachting Palace for 9 days. The staff got to know us & treated us like family! We looked forward to returning there every day to eat & relax with a swim in the pool. They are very accommodating! We are returning again this July for a family wedding and are choosing to stay with Yachting Palace!

Lovely hotel with very pleasant staff. Beautifull rooms with view on the sea. Nice swimming-pool (though not open in the evening). Nice restaurant with very friendly and fast staff. Unfortunately you only have wi.fi in the reception area. The bar is not open, but right outside the front door is the nicest little coffe-bar. Excellent for visits on Etna, in Catania and Taormina.

The room was quite nice. Clean, well equipped, but small bathroom. No bathtub. Very small TV. Beautiful pool. Nice, helpful staff. BUT, the food was very disappointing. This was my first trip to Italy, and I was looking forward to some great meals. As I was with a business tour group and the group had booked half-board, I could not comfortably leave the group to eat outside the hotel. The pasta sauces were especially disappointing and there was not much of a vegetarian selection. Desserts were utterly bland and industrial. The waiting staff were all very pleasant. If you are in Riposto, this hotel is fine for sleeping and lounging... but eat out.
