Spiaggia del Lannio, a nearby beach, lies 140 meters from the property. Guests can find several restaurants within a few hundred meters, including Convento S.R.L. (99 m, rated 6/10) and Bar Annunziata (166 m, rated 8/10).

Reviews
Because the hotel is built into the cliff and overlooks the sea, the views are incredible! All the service staff from the reception to housekeeping to the restaurants are 5 star plus.
You'll quickly realize that everything on the Amalfi Coast is pricey and it's very challenging to drive around. And don't even think about walking from the hotel - dangerous! I highly recommend trying their on-site restaurant for dinner. The restaurant has fantastic food and outstanding service. You'll get a lot for your money. The hotel has it's own beach, offers an amazing full breakfast with everything you can think of, and has a beach restaurant.
The only drawback to Hotel Cetus is also it's advantage, it's not within walking distance of a town or near anything so you have to brave the extreme traffic to get anywhere. The plus side is after you've been out you're SO HAPPY to be back to some place quiet and away from the crowds!
Breakfast buffet was always plentiful and good selection.
Great room, very comfortable queen bed and fantastic sea view. Hotel is built in to the cliffs with private beach accessible by a lift.
