Wow - what a hotel!! Positioned between Castellmare De Stabia and Vico Equense, the hotel has the benefits of being close enough to enjoy the benefits of two towns but also feels far enough away that you are in your own bubble. A very interesting building, surrounded with probably one of the best views we have ever had at a hotel. The private beach and pool were immaculate and always had free towels and sunbeds (the beauty of a non All Inclusive) with the staff always friendly and ready to help. Remember to take beach shoes as it’s very rocky but the water is so clear and there are loads of fishes!! The pool is a perfect size with a waterfall and jacuzzi area - we all loved it. I was sceptical about the hotel food after reading reviews, however the Alfa restaurant was fab and the price was probably more competitive than outside of the hotel with pizza around 12-15€ and mains from 16€ (I had pasta and the family had pizza and it was amazing). It’s a shame you have to walk through the breakfast room to access as we didn’t realise the view nor the restaurant itself were so beautiful until the last few days. It was deserved of its own little zone. The rooms are a bit tired, but what we expected for the type of hotel and they were immaculately clean with a cleaner every day keeping towels changed and the room tidy (thank you). The reception were so helpful and friendly - make sure you add them to WhatsApp as they will book shuttles or taxis when you are out and about. I needed antibiotics whilst there and they were brilliant in arranging a doctor (100€ for a call out fyi), which u didn’t see in the end, but they helped me contact a pharmacy in Vico who were brilliant and got me the medication I needed. There are 3/4 pharmacies in each town so don’t fear being poorly! We walked to Castellmare one day - took about 40 mins (it was sooooo hot), but there are paths all the way. It is a busy road so if we had tiny kids I may have got a taxi instead. Our 12 and 15 year olds were fine! After 7:30pm the town was bustling and so much to see and do. Taxi back was arranged by the hotel at 25€. Vico Equense is fabulous and we got the shuttle every day (3€ each). The shuttle drops you at the train station which is easy to navigate to take you to Pompeii or Sorrento and only costs €2.80 each way per person. Remember to validate in the little yellow boxes if they don’t have the gates. We visited three restaurants in Vico - Terramare (amazing Calzone), Cerase (stunning views and beautiful fish dishes) and Titos (just fabulous food and service). All were similar pricing around 15-25€ per main meal. There’s a fab Gelataria in the centre of Vico!! Two supermarkets are on the road parallel to the main road into town - we picked up water and snacks from there. We heard about a burger van if you wanted a cheap eat. It’s a 5 min walk through the tunnel and along the road to Castellmare (very busy road so be careful). There were two vans and we chose the busiest where the Italians were getting their burgers. We had to wait 90 mins for average burgers so deffo follow the advice of others and go to El Gordo (the other van) - it made for a fun story! Deffo use the train!! Sorrento was amazing and only cost us 24€ in shuttles and €20 in trains (total for family of 4) - be selective on where you eat. Heat and hunger led us to a tourist trap restaurant which was average! The town and shopping is fabulous and there are hidden historical gems. The marinas are lovely however, you pay a fortune to bathe. Top tip - wander to the right and there’s a fab restaurant next to a little beach which is free to have a dip! It’s in the port so lots of boats, so not a swimming hot spot but it cooled our toes! We loved our stay and the hotel - thanks so much to the Towers team for making it so special x

Wonderful hotel with lovely helpful staff. The waterproof area was super. Breakfast was very typical for a good standard overseas hotel-a good standard. We had a ground floor room with a balcony that overlooked the Bay of Naples with Vesuvius in the background idyllic. Hotel runs a shuttle bus service to Vico Equense where trains can be caught to Naples Sorrento etc Be careful if you wish to go to Pompei and/or Herculanium using hotel shuttle and train check on train/shuttle connections. Only real disappointment is that the hotels menu did not change in the 10 days we stayed not 3asy to walk to nearby villages.n Overall a lovely holiday.

We visited in early July 2026, and it's a mix of good and not so good... The Good The pool area is beautiful, with plenty of sunbeds (which had a brilliant head shade), all with good sunbathing so you're never going to get one in a bad location. You get a fresh towel every day and nobody reserved beds, until our last day when we started to see this happen. The lifeguard helped the Italians but not so much the British, which was a bit strange. The rooms are nice, apart from the majority of sockets not working, reception didn't seem to care, but we found two that worked and we kept it at that. No English channels on the tv, not a big deal but would've been nice. Breakfast was great, but they do run out of things and instead of checking the staff just stand around in groups chatting. The train from Vico Equense to Sorrento is great and Sorrento is beautiful and well worth a visit. There's a pizza place about 10 minutes walk away which is great and reasonable - two pizzas, three wines and water for €45. There's another one which was another five minutes up the road but we didn't hear about this until our last day, and reception don't divulge this, more about reception below. The not so good... The hotel is so expensive! The hotel charges a premium for everything and because you're in the middle of nowhere you're a captive audience. Lunch was around £30-£40 a day, and an aperol and vodka coke was £25! The shuttle bus is €3pp per way - so €12 for us - it was cheaper to go into Sorrento by train! And the journey was under 10 minutes. Due to the location of the hotel, it would be a nice gesture if this was free. Also don't miss the shuttle bus, taxis back from Sorrento are around €150 and from Vico Equense €50. Reception were very unhelpful, didn't advise or to be really honest, care at all - we missed the jet2 trip to Pompeii due to Jet2's unhelpfulness (helper doesn't come to the resort and we couldn't book via the app and whatsapp left it too late to reply) and hotel didn't help, just flogged another company. Turns out we could've got a train, but they didn't help. It says there are three a la carte restaurants - no idea where two were! The one where breakfast was never changed their menu in the week we were there, and it wasn't a great menu. I can only think one was the lunchtime restaurant (not a la carte) and the third was their sister restaurant, a short walk or free shuttle bus. My advice, hire a car!
