Hotel da sogno

Vista meravigliosa, staff gentilissimo e disponibile, servizi top, colazione squisita! Il parcheggio comodissimo, l’ascensore per la spiaggia privata e la vicinanza al centro di Cetara rendono ancora più facile rilassarsi.

Beautiful views. Ferry was in town to get around. Restaurants in town need to be more accommodating
Pros:

King size bed, roomy accommodations. Amazing view. Restaurant and Bar were convenient.

Cons:

Walking to town is dangerous. Shuttle was 3 Euro per person to ride a half a mile into town.
Front desk personnel were not very friendly. Bar and Breakfast staff were great.

Très jolie suite
Pros:

La chambre avec une vue incroyable et surtout le SPA sur le balcon avec vue mer.
C'est une chambre immense et très confortable. Literie au top!

Cons:

La lumière dans le jacuzzi ne fonctionnait pas.
La route à pied est un peu dangereuse mais il y a un service de navette disponible à l'hôtel il me semble.

A wonderful retreat on the coast.
Pros:

Hotel Cetus is very private, away from the crowds of amalfi, which was a wonderful break. The place felt quiet and relaxing, with a very friendly staff.

Cons:

It was a bit difficult to get to. We took public transportation and the bus was a bit chaotic.

A wonderful getaway on the Amalfi Coast located in an area with a more local feel and with all the luxuries of a 5 star
Pros:

The hotel is phenomenal and the room was amazingly comfortable with an amazing view of the water. There is are plenty of places on site for snacks and meals and the food was amazing across the board and the staff too. The hotel has its own beach with a staffed beach club which really was a highlight of our trip.

Cons:

Getting to Cetara could be complicated since the hotel is not located right in town. They offer a morning and evening shuttle which needs to be reserved and that was helpful. Although if you got dinner in town you would need to find your own way back. It’s only like a 5 minute drive to the Cetara marina or a 10 minute walk along a very narrow road with no sidewalk and often a lot of traffic during the day.
