"I’ll try to be as fair as possible. This place is really beautiful. It’s a gorgeous building and a very pretty setting right on the water. I know everyone has their own expectations and mine were not met on many levels.
First of all the place didn’t seem like a real hotel. I THINK it’s more like an all inclusive resort (that doesn’t include very much). My stay was for a superior room with terrace and ocean view. The view was obstructed and the terrace was so small it was not usable. There was a table and two lounge chairs that you almost had to walk on in order to sit on them. The room next to us had a terrace at least twice the size as ours. They advertise they have a gym, they do not. They a treadmill, a 60 yr old stationary bike and 15lbs of metal plates. Yes a grand total of 15lbs. If you want to eat lunch you can do so between the hours of 12-1pm and choose from about 10 item on the menu. Breakfast was included with my room. The breakfast I assume is very European, lots of pastries some cheese and meats and warm scrambled eggs. Dinner??? I THINK the deal was you had to buy a buffet for $45 per person which would but nothing was clearly communicated to me. There were about 100 elderly people at the resort from Milan on some sort of tour/vacation and ALL of them, ALL of them were grumpy and NEVER smiled. The hotel is located in a very rural residential area that is charming in its own right but there’s nothing around it. You’d need to take a quick cab ride into Forio."
