Mar Hotel Alimuri Spa - Meta

The hotel is perfect for folks who want the beach more than anything else. It does have a private beach just down the steps from the hotel's deck. The beach is well taken care of - on the last day we saw a small bulldozer leveling the pebbles. That's right - pebbles. You won't find good sand anywhere in Sorrento. The hotel is way off the main drag, […] but it has a free-during-the-day, 1 euro at night shuttle that goes back and forth every hour and takes you right to downtown Sorrento. Note that there's a no-shuttle window between 6:30 and 10 pm to get back to the hotel. The shuttle was always on time, sometimes early, and it makes you appreciate and admire Italian driving. :) The shuttle rides takes ~15 minutes. Do contact the hotel prior to your arrival if you are arriving by train and arrange for the shuttle pickup. Most of the guests in the hotel were older folks - in fact, other than me and my wife and another young married couple, everybody else was in the 50s-60s-... You won't find any nightlife activities at the hotel or in the surrounding area. They had live music every night - typical Italian repertoire. So if action is what you are after, stay in Sorrento (this hotel is technically speaking is located in Meta). Not that there's much action at night anyway - we saw ads for a couple of clubs, but didn't get a sense that there was much to do after the dinner. So, to summarize, if you want the beach in Sorrento, this hotel is a great choice. Read more

I have chosen the hotel for the beautiful location and private beach. The choice was probably right. The air there is very relaxing. We were in September and the sea was very warm, the weather was great. The people on reception are very helpfull and responsible. The rooms are clean. The only queer thing is restaurant and service there. It is very inconvinient […] (especially for breakfast) that we always should ask for hot drinks and not to take them on our own. The restaurant has no hot drinks at all: only slightly warm and it takes a lot of time for some of the waiters to bring it. The coffee range from bad to disgusting in taste. The breakfast is modest and just eatable. The good feature is plenty of fresh juices which one take on one's own. The dinner is also just eatable. The good thing in dinner is a lots of fruits. The waiters does not inform that the drinks are not included in the price of dinner (for not inclusive guests). So be ready to pay for every non drinkable thing they bring. The hotel is located 15-20 minutes walk uphill to Meta train station. There are two platforms in Meta. Trains to Napoli arrive on first platfrom. Trains to Sorrento arrive on first or second platform. In the latter case they make announcement. Trains not always follow time schedule (may be late on 10 minutes). If you stay with your face to platforms and your back to station, if train is going from your left, it means it goes to Napoli. If it goes from right side, it goes to Sorrento. Read more

We stayed 4 nights in a suite in July '12. The location, while only a few km on a map, is about half an hour from Sorrento by the shuttle. The small shuttle this hotel has is usually booked - and we could not find room on the 8AM shuttle any day. Taxi to Sorrrento costs about 30 Euros. The buffet breakfast was barely edible - the baked goods were made […] with some form of whole wheat without any butter - and you can imagine how they taste. The coffee here, and most of Italy, is not very good - even the cappucinos - the beans they use are low quality - don't expect Colombian or Sumatra beans based coffee in Italy! The one good thing was the pool and the beach access - which is what most of the visitors (from northern europe here on packaged tours) seem to like. The Meta train stop on Circumvesuviana is the closest, but there are no taxis waiting outside - need to be able to call someone for that - and it's not walking distance at all. There seems to be an all inclusive option - that all the folks on the tour packages had. There is one restaurant next door - la Concha - that has good food - but very small portions - we had to each there 3 nights. The city of Sorrento has a couple of streets with the typical shops founds here and in Positano, Amalfi or Capri - nice to walk around there. Ultimately, deciding to stay here is a tradeoff - if all one wishes to do is lounge around on the beach this is a good choice; as a base for exploring the area is not optimal. Read more

We had a wonderful stay at Mar Hotel Alimuri Spa. The views are amazing, the staff is wonderful and the food is great. The shuttle that is offered makes traveling to Sorrento easy.

Good: Recently redecorated despite being an old hotel. Very good hydro massage shower in the rooms. Own private beach, very well attended. Cristal clear water. Good breakfast, lots of variety.Bad: our "sea view" room was in a wing of the hotel which gave poor visibility. The rooms, although clean and newly decorated, were quite small. Breakfast service […] was pretty below standard with waiters basically trying to throw you out at 10.15. Read more

Vackert beläget hotell, mycket bra frukostbuffé.

la visuale dalla finestra, fronte mare era di fatto oscurata da una vicina costruzione d'angolo con la stanza. Da questo punto di vista è equivalentealle camere con vista interno, ma costa dipiù. Non è fair.

I hotels.com beskrivs att alla rum har balkong mot gården, wifi och 19" flatscreen TV. Inget av detta stämmer. Superior-rummen har balkong mot gården, men varken wifi eller flatscreen. En liten 14" tjock-TV finns. Standardrum som vi bokat har ingen balkong alls, och safety box är så liten så min laptop får inte plats. Det finns kodat wifi i lobbyn. […] Hotellet verkar framför allt ha "all-inclusive" gäster, vilket innebär att restaurangen inte är något vidare om man inte vill äta buffé. Det är en rejäl promenad till nästa restaurang. Men om wifi och balkong inte är viktigt är rummen helt ok. Men irriternade att beskriviningen inte stämmer Read more

Hotel vieillot, bien situé car sur une plage près de Pompei et de la côte almafitaine. La restauration est décevante
