beautiful big rooms with a great view!
Pros:

It was a beautiful hotel with a beautiful view and lovely staff! The restaurant was great too! The rooms were so big!

Cons:

the people above us were very noisy and it was a bit far from the main attractions of Amalfi but that’s not the hotels fault! The gym was very small!

Perfect, loved it.
Pros:

Cetara is a very cute village with ample restaurant choices and port for ferry access. The town is a short walk from Hotel Cetus. The hotel’s cliffside location is wonderful. Our corner room (for 4) was spacious enough especially with it’s wrapping balcony and amazing views. The private beach is gorgeous.

Cons:

We loved everything including the private jetty pick up for our all day private coastal boat tour.

Won't go back
Pros:

Can't say enough about the staff from the front desk to the reasturant people all very friendly. MY only compliant would be the bed was hard as rock and after days 3 my back was killing me.

Quasi perfetto
Pros:

La stanza ampia e luminosa, a picco sul mare turchino, dotata di macchina per il caffè Hilly e di bollitore con the e tisane. La colazione eccezionale, tra le migliori che abbia mangiato, con specialità freschissime e di qualità (in particolare le acciughe di Cetara, ma anche l’ottimo salmone, i fragranti panini, le torte artigianali e golosissime, la frutta di stagione fresca e gustosa, lo yogurt jersey); la cena al ristorante La Falalella: semplicemente favolosa (da provare in particolare il calamaro ripieno e ditali con patate, cozze e bottarga). Tutto con la solita spettacolare vista. Il parcheggio incluso.
Ottima anche la posizione, a pochi minuti a piedi dal molo per i traghetti che conducono in tutta la riviera e comunque con la possibilità, per chi ne fa richiesta, di una navetta per raggiungere il molo più velocemente.

Cons:

La camera è un po’ datata, con arredi poveri (non minimal), e alcune piastrelle di bella ceramica tipica della costiera, ma scheggiate o usurate. Soprattutto meriterebbe un restyling il bagno attualmente dotato di una grossa vasca da bagno da sormontare con qualche rischio di scivolare per fare la doccia e con un soffione incrostato di calcare che ostruisce la fuoriuscita dell’acqua: è stato l’unico disagio di un soggiorno indimenticabile.
