Grand Hotel Riviera - סורנטו

The suite with the balcony was spacious ,the floor was all tiled beautifully,quite cool considering the 36 degrees we experienced outside.The lift in the rocks took us to the private beach , the water was sparkling clean and turquoise, the swimming was magical around the rocks watching the giant cruise liners passing by 100 meters away!The little bar by the beach even served us great expressos .

yes! the bottom suite at the very end of the building ,actually built against the rocks, was smelling badly of mould and closed up for long!We thought after a couple of days the smell would disappear but it did not.The aircon was not functioning and had to be sorted out.We must have been unlucky in our most expensive choice of a suite!

Food and lovely room looking out to sea. Staff also vey nice.

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We liked the cleanliness, vista, friendliness of the staff, quiet (the 2 wedding receptions did not seem to impact on our stay at all, we enjoyed watching the reception fom affair an understood why sucha beauftiful hotel makes a great setting for a weeding. The breakfast buffet was outstanding. We had a balcony with a seaview and thoroughly enjoyed this. We ienjoyed doing morning trips and spending our afternoons at the hotel. We stayed at your hotel 30 years ago and felt that the hotel had maintained, and even improved upon it's sense of luxury and comfort. Great stay, we hope to return in fewer than 30 years. We found the town very busy, but welcomed the relaxing setting of the hotel.

Cappucino was too weak for our liking, minor detail but something we noticed and a few locations, wondered if it is for the tourist, our is their a way to order to ensure you get a strong cappucino.

I liked the friendliness of the waiters.

Within walking distance of town centre with excellent shops and eating places and harbour area. Central location for trips to Pompei and Amalfi. Reception and restaurant staff excellent - nothing too much trouble. Snorkling off the 'beach' was fantastic with a great variety of fish to see.

Swimming Pool and 'Beach' closed at 1830hrs during peak summer period - should be open later to allow enjoyment of the evening sun. Would have liked to hire a small boat/canoe/pedalo from the beach area - not available, although free use of snorkles and flippers was appreciated. Parking can be a problem for the Hotel but not too much for guests - you leave the car keys with reception and staff juggle the cars in the restricted private parking area to allow entry/exit as required. Your car may be moved during the day even though you don't use it.

Location was excellent. Privacy - out of crowded centre of Sorrento. Fabilous views, perfect indeed. Private beach was much appreciated. A la carte menu was nice too.Public space of the hotel were very nice with views.

Dinner was served between 19 and 21 - nobody eats that time in Italy - except North European turists - I did not like this. Bar closed early. Pool and beach could stay open till 20 and not close as early as 18:30.Bit slimy staff. unclear billing when signing for the room bill, guest should have clear coopy every time one sign something - difficult to verify indeed. Also one staff member at the bar was doing some monkey business asking us to pay in cash in order to get better deals - Diego was his name - it was bit strange.

Beautiful views from bedroom and verandah. Wonderful position. Fantastic swimming, loved the private swimming area. Close to shopping area. Delicious breakfast. Would definitely love to return one day! Highly recommend this hotel

If anyone decides to stay in this hotel, he/she should do so only if willing to pay a little more and take a room with a sea view. The money is worth it then. The other rooms that don't have a room are very poor are not worth the money! We asked for a different room immediately and payed a little more, but we were very satisfied after the upgrade because we had an exceptional panoramic view. The room was very clean and you have the option to swim in the pool or go down with an elevator to swim in the sea!

Breakfast was also good. Although for the price, the hotel should offer fresh juice!

Well refurbished hotel in excellent location in centre of Sorrento. Stuuning views and hotel benefits additionally from free car park on site.

We had a fantastic stay, peaceful and relaxing. Wonderful views from balcony. Service and facilities excellent. Definately the highlight of our honeymoon.

We really loved the private beach area and pool area also excellent. The terrace had stunning views and was a lovely place for an early evening drink. Staff friendly and helpful. Breakfast excellent.

It was a 20 minute walk to the town centre - not pleasant in heat.

Our room overlooked the spectacular Bay of Naples and is definitely worth the extra cost .Staff were extremely courteous and helpful always looking for ways to make our stay enjoyable .Very central and ideal for shopping or just a stroll through beautiful Sorrento itself . Great food

A very elegant hotel with a beautiful position on a cliff top in the town. Staff were friendly and helpful. The terraces were lovely for breakfast and lunch. And the private beach was perfect to slip from sunbed to sea and back again.

Great location Phenomenal facility Great beach accessible via elevator (hotel is built on a cliff) Gianni was extremely helpful during our short stay re reco for dinner outside the hotel and transportation to Naples Unbelievable view from out room Best breakfast

We have been to Sorrento 10 times and for the first 4 times stayed in 4 different hotels. Then we found the Riviera and have never wanted to go anywhere else! It is a lovely hotel with wonderful staff and a fantastic location and we will keep going back there!
