We stayed here for 4 nights with extended family as part of a trip to the Amalfi Coast. The resort itself has pros and cons. - Rooms are spacious and very family friendly but rather sp**** and outdated when compared to the website photos. - Pool area is lovely, and we would have liked drink service at the pool so we didn’t have to walk over to the bar in the main hotel every time we wanted to order. Also recommend the hotel install bathroom facilities closer to the pool vs having to walk into the main hotel building where weddings often take place. - Restaurant service was limited to the main restaurant during our stay. Breakfast was a lovely, bountiful spread with many choices, incl the option to order an omelette. We did not eat lunch here, but did like Beach Club 93 a short walk/drive away. Dinners were hit or miss with service and food quality. They were very accommodating with dietary restrictions and children’s palates. Also wished there was more than one place to dine. - the main reason why we booked this resort is because their website advertises a Mini Club for young children, so we thought this would be ideal for our kids. We were disappointed when we arrived and learned that the Mini Club advertised on their website wasn’t opened yet, and that there was no service at the beach yet. Both the Mini Club and Beach Club opened at the end of our stay, but I would have selected another resort if I had known this upfront. Should be stated on their website. -The beach itself is beautiful and much nicer than the beaches around Amalfi. The resort is NOT beachfront, so keep in mind you will need to cross the road and walk to the beach resort. They will not give you a lift in their golf buggies. On the last morning of our stay, the lifeguard was very rude to us and wasn’t going to let us enjoy the beach for 1 hour and 15 minutes. He also said that we had to pay to sit in the front row of sun beds so we could watch our children, despite only a few other guests and assurance of our short stay. - Lastly, other guests should be aware that there isn’t much around the hotel- it’s in a small town and you will drive 1.5 hours to reach Amalfi. Also the hotel is a popular wedding venue and they regularly close the pool and beach when they host a wedding (lunchtime or dinner time weddings).
