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.

Amalfiküste und Hotel Cetus = Beste Wahl
Pros:

Die Lage ist unbeschreiblich. Alle Zimmer haben einen großen Balkon und Blick aufs Meer.
Tolle Küche im Restaurant und ein abwechslungsreiches Frühstück 🤩

Cons:

Ganz kurze Stresssituation bei der Ankunft, weil es kaum Parkplätze gibt. Bedenken lösten sich in Luft auf, als der Herr vom Parkservice des Hotels, nach dem Ausladen der Koffer, den Wagen um parkte
