Thinking private beach is necessary at beach resort like Sorrent, you should a hotel like this as I chose . Though facade is not great, inside is typical traditional luxurious hotel at the tradiotional sightseeing resort in Italy.Public space including dining room, many coffee spaces around the hotel, tropical garden and breakfast are superb. Private beach is quiet and good for shesta.
All facilities are good.Everything is equivalent to the standard 5 star hotel rate.
But do escape to book the 1st floor rooms (2nd floor in American or Japanese) situated on the doning room 'cause noisy on Friday night!
Also you should book sea view room.I do not hesitate to pay more E200 for sea view of Napoli bay than for mountain view.
The hotel is also convenient to railway station, port and city centre. All are in 10 minutes walk, except you should use a public lift for the port.
