Great stay with a wonderful view
Pros:

The view is incredible, even a partial water view. The breakfast was great and staff were very attentive. The hotel is a very short, very flat walk from the ferry.

Cons:

The bed was a bit hard.

Amalfi Coast trip
Pros:

The hotel was immaculately clean, floor tiles shone and the decor was fantastic.
It was literally a 5 minute walk from the ferry/bus terminals and the town centre.
Superb location.

Cons:

Wasn't too sure about being served the buffet style breakfast, usually you can help yourself but the food was good and the wait staff were helpful.
The rooftop bar was lovely but quite expensive.

Pros:

No Stairs.......Balcony view and 5 min walk to ferry. rooftop happy hour with tapas. Great view. Great Breakfast. I would go back again.

Cons:

nothing could be better. We did not eat at the restaurant because it opened at 7:30 and we generally eat a little earlier but breakfast buffet and staff were very good. Very accommodating.

Perfect location, clean, air-conditioned & soundproofed rooms, great food, superb staff
Pros:

Perfect location, easily walkable to/from town, fantastic staff, always willing to help our every needs. Air Conditioning in the rooms was fine, and although we were facing the waterfront and main walkway, the double-glazed windows sound-proofed the room perfectly. Rooftop bar at night was special also. Breakfast buffet service was a bit odd as you couldn't serve yourself, you had to request from a member of staff who would roam up and down the buffet area selecting the items you wanted, but we got used to it.

Cons:

There isn't a gym or a pool, which is a shame, but not a showstopper as the beach/sea is literally on your doorstep. The breakfast buffet service where a member of staff selects the items for you from the buffet area was strange also, but again not a showstopper and we got used to it pretty quickly.
