Hotel Oriente in Vico Equense

The hotel Oriente in Vico Equense was advertised as a 4 star "Luxury" Hotel. In my honest opinion it isn't. Whilst it is clean and well air conditioned (Essentially) i t is need of a complete refurbishment. Internally, the reception area is probably the biggest aesthetically poor area as you walk in, with stark reminder of the "Covid" era and the big plastic screens at the small, high desk, felt very unsettling to be honest. The advertisement ( through Love Holidays) states that they have a private beach, this is true but it is less than qaulity, very poor infact and part of a terrace of private beaches. The private beach is down and sharp inclined road and alleyway, Make sure you book the bus back! * people at a time in the wacky races bus on the way back, which is also bookable downwards i may add. The advert also states that towels for guests are available for the beach, they are, but at a charge of £2.50 per day per person! Take your own. I paid an upgrade cost for a luxury 3 bed room, i was so disappointed with it, it was anything but luxury, again clean but just old and poor qaulity fittings. The bathroom.........well, just needed a complete refurbishment, and they didnt supply and glasses in the room, just very flimsy paper cups, i assume this was so you couldn't break them on the tiled floors....? It is built onto ? into a cliff face with no parking at all, even outside on the road, so drop off and collection was interesting to say the least. The staff were great though, no issues at all, friendly, helfull and excellent English.. I feel that the Hotel Oriente is not good value for money.
