Hotel Olimpo le Terrazze

Going in October was great for us the hotel was geared to older people and we were informed it was completely different from the summer months. I would say this hotel is not suitable for children as there are a lack of facilities to amuse youngsters throughout their day only water play. We went as a party of three women and had rooms 5324 5326 and 5340. Each room was large, spacious, spotless, loads of storage and each one had an excellent sea view. Sleep was good as the hotel was quiet by 12 midnight. All of the team at the Olimpo-Le-Terrazze hotel were helpful, lovely and friendly a real credit to their employers. The outdoor pool was cold yet rejuvenating once we were brave enough to get into it. Round the pool loungers were plentiful, along with the joy of a stunning view. Food was plentiful and good we never had snacks even though they were readily available, we didn't need to. No complaints at all with food and drink availability. Night time entertainment was low key music and singing. The hotel had weddings whilst we were there and it also had weekenders staying too. The hotel is close to bus routes and the train station and the reliability of public transport was spot on. We did go out and about with plenty of opportunities to travel all over from there. The TUI rep was very informative and helpful we were confident to explore the area. Mosquitos were a downer for us yet they aren't keen on lemon juice that worked well for all three of us, creams, lotions and potions did nothing. All in all we were so sad to leave as the Olimpo-Le-Terrazze Hotel it provided us with great people who looked after us - with patience, great facilites, great location. We actually felt that we had a real break, a true holiday. Sicily is lovely. Thanks for a fantastic stay. We will be

Just back from a girls’ long weekend. Can honestly say we had a fabulous time and the staff were top notch! The waiters, bar staff, entertainment were such good fun and we had so many laughs with them. The hotel is in a fabulous spot with amazing views and really close to beautiful Taormina. Thanks team Olimpo!

The rooms are finished to a high standard. We had rooms with balcony and sea view and as the hotel is built on a steep hillside the views are spectacular. We particularly loved the Olimpo outdoor pool although there are two others to choos from. Also has its own private beach. Would recommend to any of my family and friends.

Stayed this week, and was mindful of the reviews of recent weeks. Hotel is old&very traditional, cleaned everyday as well as our room. AC is great, so cool in all areas&room. Food was limited choice but we love pasta so all good. Large pool was chaotic, music very loud, and the families were very loud. We would use the smaller pool in the sister hotel. Beach was lovely, get a voucher from reception to get your 2 free sunbeds &brolly in the hotel lido. Facilities were good&clean. Was a 10 mins walk to beach &very easy to find. Evening entertainment was ok, all in Italian, no other languages spoken, not that we heard. Views are amazing, surrounded by hills&beach. Bus stop&train station nearby for easy access to other areas of the east coast. We visited Mount Etna & Taormina. Beautiful!. Negative thoughts, you have to drink from paper or plastic cups only, help yourself to drinks but limited choice&limited soft drinks. The bars seem to open different times, you cannot just walk into a bar area&get a drink. You have to learn the opening times, not great for AI. There is no waiter service, I must admit, I didn't enjoy at all drinking from the throw away cups&they were small. Would I return? Letojanni is very nice, but wouldn't return to this hotel.

We loved our stay at the Olimpo! And chose to seek out and enjoy every moment. We paid extra for a sea view and room 5356 certainly delivered! It was an amazing view and one we won’t forget. Room cleaned every day with fresh towels by lovely cleaning staff. We enjoyed the main pool at the top and loved the Sunbed situation. No towels down as pool opens at 9am. When you go to lunch you take your towels and leave the beds or prepare to be ousted. After/during lunch the pool is quite so very easy to get beds. Of course it becomes busier 2pm onwards and closes promptly at 6. Again no real issue with this as some others have complained about. Restaurant food and white wine was decent, in fact the pasta was delicious some nights. Great choice of meat, pasta and vegetarian. And the most delicious pistachio ice cram most days. Yes it was crazy busy and yes you do need to keep your wits about you amongst the Italian holidaymakers who know what they want and when they want it. They are on their holiday too so why not. I loved the mix up of the hotel which was predominantly Italian and very few British. It was great to watch them having fun in the fun and singing their well known songs. The glass lift was different and my kids loved it - how else to get to the top of a mountain! But yes it does need aircon! Letojanni itself was lovely - our favourite place was the piazza to have a pina colada and people watch whilst listening to funky music. We were there over a bank holiday and it was a whole vibe! Definitely go to the welcome meeting as we picked up loads of tips re buses and visiting Taormina etc. We booked our mount etna trip and alcantara gorges through jet 2 it was an amazing and unforgettable experience for our family.
