About the Location
The east-coast town of Taormina has a bit of a split personality. The upper part of town is all glitz and glam, with designer boutiques lining cobbled streets and a fantastic restaurant scene. Up here is where you’ll find the majority of Taormina’s sights – medieval churches, centuries-old towers and the well-preserved Greek amphitheatre. The Corso Umberto I is the centre of activity, with a myriad of small streets and alleyways threading off the main thoroughfare.
A cable car links the upper town with Taormina Mare, where you’ll find a handful of bars, shops and restaurants, plus a shingle beach. Across the Gulf of Naxos is Mount Etna – a trip to this towering volcano is a must while you’re in Sicily, although you’ll be able to enjoy standout views of it from all over Taormina.

We received a very warm welcome from the staff at the Atlantis bay arriving down the stairs from the car park to floor six in the reception this is an upside down hotel built into the Rock but it's quirkiness and gaudiesque features soon grow on you. Every room has a balcony where you can sit and enjoy the view. The swimming pool has overly lounging areas or there is sea swimming if you prefer. The breakfast is extensive from English cooked fried egg or omelette continental or a wide selection of cakes

We just stayed at the Grand Hotel Atlantis Bay in Taormina Mare in Sicily last week. This facility is set a most beautiful area of Sicily. The accommodations were marvelous with a terrace and fabulous view of the harbor. The staff was excellent and accomodated our every request. Breakfast buffet was outstanding as was dinner, again all with great scenery. We could not ask for better.

Atlantis Bay hosted our Sicilian Wedding. A range of guests stayed here and the service was top-notch from beginning to end. The location is simply breath-taking - in my view, this is one of the most beautiful hotels in the world. The director Roberto and his incredible, professional team went out of their way to make the whole experience memorable - from catering to food, to customer service. Cristina, the wedding coordinator was very organized, hardworking and aimed to accommodate great job! Angelo helped put together an incredible and tasty menu. Nothing was ever too difficult, or a problem, The whole staff team worked hard and I will quote "lo facciamo col cuore" (we do it from the heart).
I want to point out that the dinner staff and manager of the evening was INCREDIBLE. Food quality out of this world.
This is a hotel that has a focus on service, quality and customer experience par excellence.

We have just returned from a two week stay in this beautiful hotel. It certainly deserves its 5 star rating. The staff are exceptional tending to our every need. They are friendly and professional. We were half board so ate in the restaurant in the evening. The staff in the restaurant were lovely and by the end of our holiday we were made to feel like part of the Atlantis Bay family. Unfortunately we were unable to say "Goodbye" to Angela as it was her day off on our last evening in the restaurant. She is a lovely lady and looked after us very well.
The accommodation was very comfortable. We had a room on the 4th floor overlooking the bay. What a fantastic view. The cleaning staff were amazing, changing our towels twice a day. Exceptional service.
The town of Taormina was accessible by a cable car not far from the hotel. Taormina is a beautiful town full of character and designer shops.
If you are looking to explore this area of Sicily we would suggest you go on the Godfather tour and definitely visit Mount Etna. Also it is worth visiting the small mountain town of Castelmola. Just get on a bus from Taoramina.
This holiday was brilliant and we would most certainly return.
