This was our fourth holiday at the Alimuri. Since our last visit in 2019 the terrace has been updated with a bigger swimming pool and new floor of tiles and decking. They were actually working on the decking while we were there, but didn't start work until 10am and it didn't bother us at all. The bigger swimming pool means no more option of sitting on the terrace for lunch and dinner, but the restaurant is lovely so no big problem there. It's great they have kept the traditional "art deco" style and charm throughout the hotel and really hope they don't change it to being modern and boring. The hotel is right on the seafront (no road inbetween) and the view from our balcony was beautiful. The hotel is kept very clean and all staff are so pleasant, friendly and helpful. We were all inclusive and drinks were of a very good standard - Peroni beer, decent bottles of wine, mineral water in glass bottles, big menu of cocktails, branded mixers such as Schweppes, coca cola etc... Food was not as good as our previous visits, but you could always find something. We were looking forward to "pizza night" but it was disappointing, thick dry wedges with barely any topping! There were plenty of other choices though. Lots of desserts - the pistachio cake and chocolate capri cake being my favourite. There were no extra charges for room safe or beach towels. Shuttle bus is great and runs on time, it's also free (apart from late evening run of €2) and you book at reception. This is a relaxing hotel, you will always find a sunbed or table and chairs on the terrace, and the restaurant has a lovely atmosphere (nothing like the chaotic canteens you get at a lot of all inclusive hotels). They don't mind at all if you take drinks up to your room (which has a fridge). Bed and pillows were very comfortable, bathroom was marble with a double sink and shower over bath. Lovely Italian tiles on the floor. There are small supermarkets and a chemist in Meta (if you don't want to go into Sorrento for essentials). Plenty of boats going from Sorrento to Capri, Salerno, Ischia etc Plenty of interesting sight seeing trips in this area. I would certainly return.
