Hotel Giosue' a Mare Sorrento in Meta

Best thing about this property is that a local restaurant, Tico Tico, is within a short walking distance. My family and I did not feel very welcome here at this property. It is more for locals. The first day at the beach was horrible because the beach and the water were filthy. Granted that is beyond the hotel’s control, nevertheless our daughter even commented on the trash. If you want to have either a first line lounger and umbrella you have to pay 30 euro per person. 20 euro if you want second line on the beach. However, we noticed non-hotel individuals entering the ‘private beach’. The rooftop turns into a club on Wednesdays and Saturdays with very loud music. Also, the walls are paper thin, you can hear your neighbors. Our superior triple room was ‘tight’. Our queen bed was actually two twins put together. The food at the hotel was mediocre at best. When we arrived the two ladies at the front desk ignored us for about a good 10 minutes- one was on the phone and the other just sat there looking bored. It is hard to get to and you have to learn how to use the bus system, which luckily is easy to navigate and the best cost option. Taxis are ridiculously expensive. And most request cash payments. If you don’t have cash the drivers will gladly take you to an ATM. Sorrento was lovely and I wished we had stayed there instead.

It was a nice hotel but staff weee rude and unhelpful apart from Anna on reception who was great at organising us a taxi.

The rooms are nice however the air conditioning didn’t work properly and there was zero sound proofing. We could hear the man next door snoring through the wall.
