Grand Hotel Aminta

Just back from a week staying at Aminta. The pros: The hotel is extremely clean and well maintained, and the staff are courteous, warm and friendly, especially at breakfast and the gentlemen helping provide towels and umbrellas around the pool. The pool area is lovely and quiet with plenty of available sunbeds. The beds were very comfy, and the Alexa in the room was a nice touch. The breakfast was fine, if a little repetitive - there was a lovely fruit salad available on our first day, which never appeared again which was a shame (maybe it's only there on Saturdays?). The shuttle bus is a welcome service, as the hotel is quite a way into the mountains, though I did wonder why it didn't run over lunchtime or between 9.30pm and 11.30pm which felt like peak times. The cons: As I said, the shuttle was a welcome service as the hotel is set quite a way from town - we walked it twice and it took roughly 30 mins, but I definitely couldn't do it on a very hot day, nor would I want to do it in the dark. Because of the hotel's location, there isn't really anything else around, which meant on the days we spent by the pool, we were restricted to eating lunch at the hotel - I found the food to be quite overpriced for what it was. In the room itself, the curtains didn't quite meet to block out the sun, and there was nowhere in the bathroom to hang up your towels. The shower could have been more powerful. My biggest gripe however feels quite minor, but it did bother me quite a bit: for a hotel that claims to be environmentally conscious (signs in the bathroom not to waste water, reuse towels etc), they replaced the toilet roll every day, even when the roll was half used. This feels very wasteful to me. All in all, this was a fine hotel as a base in Sorrento, but should we return to Sorrento, I think I would prefer to stay more centrally to give ourselves more flexibility in visiting the main restaurants and port area.

Hotel had everything we needed, staff so helpful & friendly. Shuttle bus to town works fabulous although the walk down is easy, not so easy on way up ! Views are stunning, breakfast & lunch delicious, pool area perfect & chilled. The room was very comfortable & clean .. highly recommend

This is an amazing hotel, we got real 5 star treatment, we arrived early and said no problem will let us know when room ready, even dropped bags to room!. Location is great short walk to town or shuttle bus. Staff always happy to please, and with a smile everyday. We checked out early and gave breakfast bags to go for the morning! This hotel was perfect in every way and made our holiday a real enjoyable experience.

Food good services good room perfect overlooking the lemon groves pool warm and clean all staff helpful and friendly

We booked a package through Riviera Travel, and, looking at prices for this hotel on other sites, we got extremely good value. We paid extra for a sea view with sunset balcony standard room. We ended up with a very large room, which, when we saw the settlement bill for extras, was actually a superior room with two double beds. I am quite fussy abut beds but these were exactly the right firmness, with the pure cotton linens that I love. Always made with immaculately clean sheets by a very particular maid. Lovely tiled floor and bathroom. The waiters in the dining room treated us like royalty, and my dairy/egg free diet was catered for beautifully, with chef even bringing forth delightful desserts made specially for me. The big highlight was breakfast. I could not have asked for more variety and attentive service. The pool was warm and in the sun, and so clean, with free towels provided, and plenty of sunbeds. We discovered the hot tub, and, after the sun started to dip. this was a welcome, and romantic place to relax. Not plastic but rather a custom built tiled affair, reminiscent of a roman bath. We wanted for nothing, and small issues were dealt with by the staff apparently effortlessly. I would recommend using the courtesy bus to head into Sorrento, which operated hourly through the morning and late afternoon. No pavements in a lot of places so walking not advised. We left a large tip at the end for the service staff and maid, and they seemed to appreciate it. I hope others do the same. They made our holiday so special.

Metinleri kameranızla çevirin It was very nice to watch the sun set while swimming in the pool and sipping our drinks. The staff was very attentive. And it was kind. An incredible hotel. The food and staff are great. A very clean hotel. I will definitely go again next year

This was booked to celebrate a special birthday and obviously expectations were high. I can honestly say that the hotel was everything we hoped for. We were in the Annex which is literally a 3 minute walk ,through beautiful gardens, from the main hotel. The view from our room was wonderful. We had Versuvius to the right of us and the Bay of Naples in front. A great place to enjoy the sunsets. The room was a decent size with 2 king size beds! There was a minibar, tea and coffee making facilities and an Alexa..which was great for checking the weather and playing music. The bathroom had a bath with shower over it and a huge sink. The swimming pool area and terrace were always clean and the staff attentive. There is a shuttle bus into town every hour ..though you can walk down in 20 to 25 minutes. Breakfast was fine for our needs. Plenty of choice..I did take in my own lactose free milk but was told by the head waiter they could have provided it. If I had to find any minus points it would be that the drinks in the bar aren't cheap, the lunchtime menu could do with more light meal options such as baguettes and it would be nice if the shuttle bus had 2 drop off and pick up points so you could explore the outer part of Sorrento...but these points certainly didn't spoil what was a fabulous holiday.

I was glad that I booked a sea view as I think this was the best feature of the hotel. Other notable positives were: comfortable bed, breakfast selection, cleanliness of room, the heated pool and jacuzzi, bus transport to and from town, housekeeping staff (always greeted us), two of the staff: Alex the bus driver (such a polite and helpful gentleman) and the waiter with the tea/coffee trolley at breakfast and the dessert trolly in the evening. Areas for improvement: we generally found wait and bar staff to be unsmiling and not particularly friendly. Our balcony was not cleaned once during our 4-night stay. Opening and closing times for your pool are not reasonable for guests who come back after a day of sightseeing and want a swim after 7pm. Bathroom was very small compared to other hotels and the glass shower screen over the bath is not functional. Compared to other hotels we have stayed at during this trip lasting many months, across all parts of Europe, you hotel has been expensive and not good value for money.

Wow what a hotel !!! We came for a family celebration and we couldn’t have asked for more !!! Staff were friendly, service was exceptional they couldn’t do enough for us and the views are stunning. Can’t wait to return to this hotel I have been telling all my friends they must go as they won’t be disappointed.
