The shower lacked a curtain or enclosure during use.
it is an old hotel. but the staff was very nice. the bed was confort. it is close to the beach and to many resturants.
Location and beautiful Seaview The owner and staff were very helpful advising on train /bus times booking trips and restaurants The lifeguards on the beach went above and beyond helping elderly people to the sunbeds carrying their bags as well as keeping an eye on the kids they were always smiling and happy to have a chat
Nothing really the hotel is a family run hotel and is not 5 star luxury but does not pretend to be and doesn't charge 5 star prices IT maybe could do with a little modernisation but only if it could be done without taking away its charm
Sunrise sights from the balconyVolcano Etna nearbyOne of the most beautiful towns of Taormina - 9km
The bed was two pushed together to make a queen. Everything else was good and the beach staff were excellent.
It's a nice retro 3* hotel. It faces the sea and hotel guests have free sunbeds and umbrellas. There are plenty of them, no reservation is needed. The best thing about this hotel is the staff. Amazing people who try to make their guests feel welcome. There is a big fridge in the room which is very quiet.
Very soft mattress, air conditioning does not cool well, breakfast is quite simple and repetitive if you stay longer
We have booked 2 double rooms in Hotel Kennedy from 3rd to 7th August. The stay at there was very nice and the staff were really friendly and helpful. Location was great and hotel has their own car park so we did not have any trouble with car parking. Thank you
The hotel was wonderful. The staff were all absolutely charming - so helpful at all times, from the receptionists, to the waitors, lifeguards and cleaners. All amazing.
Our only negative was that we wanted to eat dinner on the terrace and were told that dinner had to be eaten in the restaurant. It did not detract from our stay at all. Everything was wonderful
Fantastic location right on the beach. Own beach chairs free of charge.
The beds were so uncomfortable they need an upgrade
There were plenty of staff and they were all very friendly. The beachservice is good but since its on the eastcoast its not a sandy beach. Breakfast was good. Good parking. You can see that this hotel has the charm of past times and 50 years ago it must have been very luxurious but today only the charm remains and its really needs a facelift.
Wifi comes and goes. AC is very loud but doesnt work very well. Beds and all other furniture are old and worn down. Cleaning is not very accurate. There were mold in the bathroom
I love that the property has a distinct retro style, it is so well kept, clean and has all the amenities and facilities required. It has direct private access to the beach with deck chairs at no extra charge. The location is absolutely beautiful.
There wasn’t anything I didn’t like about the property.
Very nice hotel in retro style. We got a sea view room and it was really wonderful. Very welcoming and polite staff. Good location in front of the pebble beach. All the comments mentioning old rooms and furniture are correct, but this is what makes it special. Furniture and rooms look old, but more as in 'retro' and not as in 'broken or heavily worn'. Everything is working fine and is as good as new, and it's all part of the hotel's charm. It definitely doesn't need any renovation, then it would just become the same as any other "new" hotel in any other place.
Breakfast contained just some breads, a couple types of cheese, prosciutto and salami, and different sweets. But that's the same (or worse) verywhere in Sicily, so you just need to know that you can't expect a full buffet with omelette, different vegetables, fruits, porridge etc.Nothing to do around besides the beach, so if you're staying longer than a few days, you really need a car to go around to see Etna, Savoca, Forza D'Agro etc.
The location/view.
The air conditioning wasn't working and the rooms are outdated. Also the breakfast could be better.
Everything was great at this Hotel runned my Miryam and her family. Even though it is old Hotel built in 1971 everything is working perfectly and spotless. Nice rooms with balcony that are being cleaned every day. Sunbeds are free of charge. They let us check out at 14h because we had a evening flight. Safe parking
Breakfast could have been better
The restaurant, proximity to the beach, dog friendly, and wonderful staff.
Okay he AC did not work properly and we were hot in the night
Everyone at the hotel was extremely friendly and helpful. They went above and beyond to accommodate us in any way possible. Location is convenient to explore several destinations.
Furniture in the room needs to be updated.
Fantastic position, great price, the sea and the pool
A few minor things didn't work(hair dryer) and air conditioning was not The best
prime location, great beach club, friendly attentive staff.
unfortunately the room was very hot as the AC did not work well and the beds were uncomfortable.
