Amazing cliffside hotel with spectacular views and exceptional service
Pros:

Everything about our stay was fantastic. The room was spacious, very comfortable, and had one of the most incredible views I've ever had from a hotel. The hotel itself is beautifully built into the cliff, with the original rock incorporated into the architecture, making the common areas and corridors really unique. The walkway to the private beach is stunning, and the beach itself is amazing. Breakfast was excellent, with great quality food served on a terrace overlooking the sea. The staff were outstanding, always friendly, helpful, and willing to go the extra mile. Our room didn't have a kettle or coffee machine when we arrived, but they brought both immediately after we asked. Having on site parking is also a huge bonus on the Amalfi Coast.

Cons:

Only a few minor details. A safe in the room would have been useful, and the bathroom was a little small and could benefit from a few extra hooks for towels. The gym doesn't open until 8:30, which is quite late if you like to work out before breakfast. The private beach is in the shade from around 4 pm onward, although it's wonderful before then. You'll also want a car to get around, though it's possible to walk to nearby Cetara to catch ferries along the coast.

Ревізор рекомендує.
Pros:

Прекрасний готель поза межами шумних курортів Амальфітанського узбережжя. Чарівні номери, гарний сніданок з неймовірним видом на море. Власний пляж.

Cons:

В кінці травня пляж не був підготовлений для відвідувачів. Нам самим довелось шукати шезлоги, їх збирати та встановлювати. Парасольки відсутні.

An der Amalfiküste war dies definitiv eine gute Wahl! Die Lage war sher gut und man konnte alles gut mit dem Bus oder de
Pros:

Der Private Strand, der mit dem Lift erreichbar ist.
Das Personal an der Rezeption und im Frühstückssaal war sehr freundlich
Die Zimmer waren sehr sauber und der Blick aufs Meer traumhaft!

Cons:

Das Preisverhältnis für alles weitere.
Die Getränke an der Bar waren voll mit Eiswürfel, der Aperol kostet zb trotzdem 10€
Am Strand gab es ein Restaurant, dort hat der Caprese Salat 18€ gekostet (4 Scheiben Tomaten, eine Kugel Mozzarella). Generell haben wir für zwei Salate und zwei alkoholfreie Getränke 55€ bezahlt, das finde ich schon sehr teuer (siehe Foto).
Wenn man am Abreisetag noch an den Strand will, muss man 45€ PRO PERSON bezahlen

Das Frühstück darf für den Preis pro Nacht auch gerne noch etwas ausgeschmückt werden. Auch hier muss man ein weiches Ei etc noch nach extra bezahlen.

Pros:

The views are spectacular. Boat transportation to other parts of the Amalfi Coast is very convenient. The restaurant has a very limited menu, mostly seafood. The chef accommodated and prepared pasta dishes.

Expectations met. We'll be repeat customers for sure!
Pros:

Great location and the Cetus beach club was our favorite place to spend the day at the beach. The food was great there too (as were the rest of the Cetara restaurants we tried). Also, I really enjoyed my time spent at their spa with their great massage therapists!

Pros:

We found a mosquito in our room almost every night. I know it is difficult to control but it would be great if there was a way to minimize mosquitoes in the building

Ein aussergewöhnlich schönen Ort für ein Hotel
Pros:

Es ist ein sehr schönes Hotel, was entlang der Felsen gebaut ist. Es gibt einen natürlichen Privatstrand mit komfortablen Liegen und einem schönen Tagesrestaurant. Die Lage ist aussergewöhnlich. Das Frühstück ist wirklich sehr, sehr gut und absolut zu empfehlen.

Cons:

Wenn man ein standard Zimmer bucht, muss man schon damit rechnen, dass das Badezimmer recht beengt und auch nicht auf dem modernsten Standard ist, was bei dem Preis etwas enttäuscht.
