Good hotel, first line, good food. There are fish restaurants nearby. From the window there is a view of the sea and Mount Etna. It's about twenty minutes to Taormina. Taxi through the desk clerk.
I liked the hotel. We made a free upgrade to the family room - lots of space, sea view, soft flooring. A good restaurant (we went to dinner). Breakfast is a bit boring; there is a bias towards baking \ sweets to the detriment of normal dishes. Polite, helpful staff. The beach is relatively clean. But if you order a taxi directly at the hotel counter, get ready for an increased price tag). Apparently, it's a mark-up for pretentiousness. It is better to do this by going outside.
