Went with an open mind after reading negative reviews about this hotel however all was well hotel is in a fantastic location on the beach and food was fantastic the last day we were there had a Neapolitan evening with the famous mount Vesuvius cake. Staff friendly and hotel spotless all staff work hard to make our holiday great. Great sunsets from a fantastic dinning room and a little harbour to walk along of an evening. Free shuttle bus from hotel but just after the tunnel a three minute walk local buses go to Sorrento every twenty minutes for two Euros. Fifteen minutes up the road is meta train station which will also take you to Sorrento Naples Pompeii and Herculaneum cheaply. Drinks were good quality and wine was good. Hotel was a little dated but we liked that as very Italian. Won't hesitate to recommend this hotel thanks for a lovely stay.

This hotel is in an amazing location on the seafront in Meta. There is a regular free bus to take you in to Sorrento. The local bus stop is 5 minutes from the hotel, and the train station is a 20 minute walk. All the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. I would like to thank the restaurant staff for looking after me so well. I am gluten free and they made me special meals when there was not enough GF choices on the buffet. They also gave me gluten free bread and muffins. The Chef is excellent and always came out to help me with my choices and I would like to thank the Restaurant Managers, Enzo and Franchesco, for taking good care of me. Thank you to Jerry also, our friendly and happy waiter x Thank you also to Alberto, Alessia, Daniella and Luca. The bar staff who also looked after us so well. We had a room with a sea view, which is well worth paying a little extra for. Housekeeping were very good and helpful and serviced our room daily. Look forward to returning to this hotel in the future.

We’ve taken a few minutes to give a fair and balanced review that we hope will give anyone who reads the review a good overview of the positives and negatives (yes there are both). What we’ve tried to do is put headings on the review in no particular order beyond the one they came to mind as we thought about our holiday. Flight transfers from Naples to the hotel: A very busy arrivals area with all the various holiday firms. Not too difficult to find out a Tui person (light blue tops with Tui logo) who gave clear instructions where to go next. Once out of the airport the second Tui person gave less clear guidance on where to find the transfer coach. If with Tui – keep walking to the end of the pathway (covered by a black sun shield all the way along except when crossing a road (watch out the drivers are a little inpatient and like to use their horns). Caution – this is a longer than expected walk for anyone with mobility issues. Once on the bus – very organised and the transfer takes just over an hour or so. Once at the hotel – we were greeted by a number of porters who took our suitcases up the short stairway to the reception desk and waited further instructions in as much as what room number to take our bags too. Very good first impressions. Room(s) We stayed in room 246 on the second floor (two lifts always working so easy to get around the hotel if you don’t fancy the stairs) and then after a couple of days – and for no reason other than we had heard the hotel had some suites – we asked for an upgrade and paid the difference and had room 216. We moved our belongings ourselves. Much better view and with Jacuzzi! Rooms are cleaned and tidied everyday – tiled floors throughout and pleasant decoration throughout hotel. That said the rooms and indeed the rest of the hotel (communal areas, we cant confirm for all rooms albeit when passing them if a cleaner was working it did appear) follows a nautical theme – quite nice and clearly referencing the fact the hotel it right on the sea front – but having been built in the last forty years or so (we recon) the maintenance is where things get a little less than perfect. Who ever has been freshening the paintwork needs to take of the blind fold as the paint is everywhere – for example well over an inch beyond where it should have stopped – but at least the décor has been attempted – trying to keep it fresh if possible. I’m no perfectionist (well maybe a little) but masking tape or a steadier hand when painting would be desirable. The rooms have a kettle and a fridge and a safe with standard supply of toiletries – replenished daily / as required. Both rooms we had have lovely sea views – albeit there are some at the back so make sure to ask for a sea view. Dining: We had half board and both breakfast and evening meal are buffet – so no chance of going hungry. Ignore any reviews stating food is not good – it is good to very good with some standard dishes repeated daily and then variants to allow

The hotel would have been 4 star in its hey day, and the pluses are that the staff were brilliant, the decor is classic Italian and very well kept. The food was okay, not awful but not fabulous, the outdoor pool was tiny and the indoor pool and spa have gone. The private beach is literally a slip of space between ropes for the hotel users, but the rest was for the public users that can use the sun loungers rented from the snack bar on the front so not really very private. In fact lots of locals using the beach and sea in front of hotel. (We didn’t mind that as why shouldn’t they? but not sure why they call it private, because it’s definitely not) The air conditioning was fantastic as was the free Wi-Fi, the hotel shuttle bus was great and super cheap. The drinks from the bar were pricey e.g €8 for 400ml beer and the evening entertainment was geared towards an older generation. I would recommend for older couples but we had a great time getting out and about anyway.

We stayed with another couple here towards the end of May. We were given two rooms which were quite small, facing the street but when both asked for upgrades we were given a gorgeous ocean view room with a balconet, and a ocean view balcony room. The rooms were incredibly clean and our balconet room was quite modern compared to the previous room we had before upgrading. The hotel overall was lovely and clean but a little dated, still nice however. Staff were very helpful and kind. We had breakfast every day and it was really nice, a lot of choice from fried breakfasts, an omelette station, cereals, fruits and pastries. The pool is small but works for how much you use it but there is a beach right behind the hotel. The hotel is a short walk/car journey from the centre of sorrento and the hotel has a shuttle bus to get to and from. We really enjoyed our stay here and the location was great.
