I spent 6 nights at the Taormina on Memorial Day weekend at a cost of $990 w/taxes and $120 in chicas fees. On Labor Day I spent 6 nights at the Barcelo hotel in a much nicer room at a cost of $518/taxes with no chica fees even though I had to sign them in. I spent $140 on Uber fees. I set up most of "dates" on tinder and went to Taormina on 2 nights and had 2 chicas taken from there. My flight was delayed and the taxi drive to the Barcelo that we got caught in a terrible traffic jam. So by the time I checked into the room and went downstairs to the empty bar and had a drink with no one there I was having second thoughts but the next days turned everything around.

The Barcelo has a nice pool and rancho grill with good food. The breakfast buffet is really good. Great place to stay if you have a favorita.

When I stayed at Barcelo (last July) I just asked my dates to dress down and just walk straight to the elevator with me. I also told them not to make eye contact with the desk clerks (usually only one later in the evening that were busy talking to another guest) I never checked in a single one. When we made a hard left a the hotel entrance heading straight to the elevator.. I don't think that they even noticed us. I liked it there. Killer large pool and awesome breakfast buffet were an added bonus. Even 2 CR major bank ATM's in the lobby. What's not to like? No small fridge in the rooms.. but ice machines on every floor.
