Find somewhere else
Pros:

The bed was very commutable and the bathroom was lovely.

Cons:

It is not right in the water as much of the marketing material suggests. It looks down over some very unattractive buildings. The satellite beach area and restaurant was closed and not accessible at all. It is not in a location that is convenient to walk to and from Rapallo. A very busy street with no crosswalk must be crossed to access the hotel by foot. The food was mediocre.
