Amazing Couples September 2023 12 nights As other reviews have stated, the views are epic which definitely made our stay amazing. In addition to that, it was walking distance to the main streets of Maiori and the ferry docks to venture out to different towns. The rooms were sparse but extremely clean, thanks to our lovely ladies Elena and Luisa (further to my review 3 weeks ago). There were ants outside our room (none inside the room) on the patio which I took care of with boiling hot water then we met our cleaning ladies who sprayed for us and thoroughly cleaned the patio daily, we never saw another ant. Our ladies restocked our amenities daily (tea bags, instant coffee, shampoo (no conditioner), lotion, soap etc.). Yes, the hand towels are similar to large tea towels but that is quite normal in Italy. The white linens were all clean and changed daily. The air conditioning worked perfectly. The patio doors could use some handles but with some creativity, you can easily close them by using the metal shutters strategically. The metal shutters kept the room so dark and quiet. People have complained about the fireworks and noise from the restaurant across the road but we found it quite entertaining. Italy is alive at night, people eat late, some restaurants don’t even open until 8pm so fireworks at midnight is not really that late. We enjoyed listening to the live music (from the restaurant across the street) and the fireworks after someone got married. On one of our first few nights on the 5th floor there was a wedding at our resort so they lit off fireworks right across the road, we have never been so close to fireworks, although shocking, it was absolutely breathtaking. Our first night we were jet lagged and went to sleep early when the fireworks went off all we could hear was a faint “pop, pop” sound. The hotel does host weddings so there were a few occasions over our 12-night stay that the pool and restaurant/bar on the 8th floor did close early around 4 or 5pm. The restaurant on the 5th floor was open and has a few seats outside but we just picked up a drink there and enjoyed it on our lovely balcony. We initially thought the drinks were on the expensive side (12 euros for a gin and tonic) then we realized it was 4 ounces of gin. As for the included breakfast, here is detailed breakdown: - Coffees, cappuccino, café au lait, lattes etc. - Variety of fresh juices, still and sparkling water - Many freshly made sweets, cakes, tarts - Yoghurt, granola, dry cereals - Cold meats & cheeses - Bread (toasters provided) & buns - All the necessary condiments, butter, ketchup, mayonnaise, pepper grinders & salt - Served hot breakfast, choice of eggs scrambled or fried, bacon, and a fresh fruit plate Breakfast was hardy and generous with an amazing view, a perfect way to start your day. There is a menu available if you want to order something different for a cost as well as Mimosa’s. The hotel also has a shuttle that will take you to near by towns for nom
