There is a construction Project right across the canyon below the hotel to the east. They are jack hampering and drilling concrete from 7 or 8 am all day. You can hear it inside the room even with the windows closed. It is very loud at the pool. This is a great hotel but the experience is ruined by the noise.

We decided to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary with a trip to Sicily. We lived in Europe years ago, and we had been to Italy many times before, so we planned this trip months in advance. The highlight of 15 days was the San Domenico Palace. The hotel setting on the coastline is breathtaking, the food quality and presentation at breakfast are exceptional, but the service by the entire team is the best anywhere we have stayed in the world. We felt so welcome the minute that we arrived, and that continued throughout our stay. They have truly created a community of people that exist to make your stay perfect in every way possible. The concierge team assisted us in securing a sparkling wine tasting on Mt. Etna at Terrazza dell' Etna that was absolutely magical. We had a fabulous half-day Godfather Tour that was great fun. Our best meal in Taormina was in the hotel at Principe Cermani, and it was definitely the epitome of Michelin-star dining from cuisine to presentation to service. The concierge team made certain that our special anniversary was recognized, especially upon arrival in our room overlooking the ocean. We previously stayed at the Four Seasons in Bali and in Scottsdale, but the San Domenico Palace is truly special. It more than exceeded our expectations, it made the memory of a lifetime!

We went here to celebrate a birthday at the hotel’s Michelin starred restaurant. As you arrive, in the courtyard there was loud karaoke style music blaring. As we were early, we tried to find somewhere for a drink but were told very curtly that as we were not staying we could not have a drink (despite being booked in the restaurant). The Michelin starred restaurant was stuffy, in both senses, with lots of performative flummery but slow service. The food is elegantly presented but bland, missing all of the zest and freshness for which Italian cooking is so well known. Overall it felt corporate and overrated. It’s also extremely poor value for money: very high prices for a mediocre product.
