"Absolutely loved it here. No complaints!
The service is first rate. The grounds are exquisite, the beach is lovely, and the whole place is a beautiful and historic oasis of serenity.
We booked into a base room, communicated in advance that we were traveling with two young children, and they were accommodated into our room without issue. That may not sound like much if you’re used to American hotels, but in Europe being kid-friendly in the hotel industry is the exception, not the rule. We appreciated that the room was spacious (again, vis a vis European standards) had outstanding water pressure by any standard, and had everything we could want.
The breakfast buffet is top notch and not to be missed. Freshly squeezed juices, honey dripping from the comb, meats, breads, omelettes, prosecco-you name it. A let’s not forget the outstanding coffee options! Great start to the day!
The grounds are expansive with all manner of exotic plants, trees, citrus, and flowers. Not a bad place to hang out with a book, or just stroll around.
We used the beach every day. You can either use the chairs out on the platform at the end of the jetty, or you can use chairs on the small black sand beach. Having young kids, we always chose the beach and it was perfect for us. Absolutely beautiful spot with crystal clear blue water. Just thinking about it makes me want to head back!
We enjoyed going to La Marinella for lunch, which was super convenient and had beautiful views of the swim area.
Speaking of beautiful views, we had a lovely dinner at Coku, with food, music, and views of the sunset over the Gulf of Napoli not to be forgotten.
We also enjoyed the pool for an afternoon swim, and we loved the gelato on sale at the pool bar (and the spritzes!)
The shuttle to Sorrento was always timely and reliable. Great feature of the hotel. The hustle of Sorrento will make you grateful to return to Cocumella for sure haha.
All told this is one of my favorite hotels in the world.
Also gotta say Giuseppe at the front desk was great"
