Sapphire Rooms

Positive comments: Room was clean, being able to walk to dinner, and the view was fantastic. Not so positive comments: Hard to find, the parking was terrible, trying to find where to check in, having to pay cash, when we checked out, because the facility couldn’t go through Expedia, and they would only except cash! I booked this through Expedia. Had to hire a shuttle to go to the car and back, and had to pay the driver each time. We were shuttled back and forth with a golf cart. It was not part of our fee for staying overnight. This was not mentioned at the time of booking. The information for all of this was not explained! Not worth it for a one night stay!!!!

The location on the beach was perfect for what we were looking for for a few days of our 10-day trip to Italy. It is very remote. Please note that most vehicles cannot even make it down to the village. You have to park up in an olive Grove and get taken down by a buggy, which no one explained to us before we got there so there was lots of confusion. If you want to be on the beach, the location is ideal. But, we did have some issues with the room. The overhead shower fixture did not work at all the entire time we were there so we had to use the wand. The air conditioning didn't work two of the 3 days and nobody could fix it. There was also a very loud party at the restaurant next door to us, which we generally wouldn't mind if we would have known ahead of time. But nobody explained that to us while we were there so that went on until about 1: 00am. The bed was very comfortable and the room was very clean. Other than those issues, we enjoyed our stay.

The property itself was nice and clean, the town was quiet and felt safe, there were good dining options. The biggest con was that the ability to get a taxi into the town of sorrento was lacking and when you could get a taxi it was 25-60€ per way. The taxis were not able to get down the narrow steep road into the town. The other option was to take a bus into town or walk along the side of the road which was very unsafe as there was no shoulder and the cars would be passing you about a foot away at times and took about 45 minutes per way. We felt kind of trapped in the town with not a lot to do unless you walked into Sorrento.

Beautiful space - a tiny little hotel that’s nestled away from the big city. Throw a rock and it lands in the ocean. Restaurants all over - they are all helpful, though coming down to the bay and back up requires planning - ask locals for a ride to town - they will gladly drive you for a few euros. Hotel room was nice but cozy. Very romantic. No front staff or any special bells and whistles but for an Italian honeymoon this is perfect and very memorable

Room was clean Restaurants in the area are good

Not good impression when you arrive. Overall access to the location. If you have a car parking limited. If you want to go to Sorrento need to walk (climb) for about 20 minutes to get to the bus stop.

Absolutely shocking!!!!!! Booked this accommodation for our honeymoon using an agent. The online pictures look NOTHING like the reality of the room. We were promised a beach front hotel room. We got a room overlooking a restaurant tin roof. There is no reception and to get to the accommodation you have to walk down a very steep hill for 15 minutes!!!! Try doing that with your luggage. The bed cover and sheets had stains, the towels and pillows are a million years old, and the bathroom was covered in mould. The rain shower did not work and was riddled with rust. This is far from luxury and is more like a hostel. We checked out the next day and have requested a refund. The owner has gone MIA and ignored all messages from us and our agent. DO NOT trust this accommodation; images are misleading. This it is pure trickery!!!

Good room with bath tub and view of the beach. Also great cleaning!

Very close to the sea so you need to get used to it. Because it is on the boulevard it gets noisy and there is a lot of lighting that stays on.

Staff is so nice and helpful. The area is quiet, and there are a couple of good restaurants Nice and cosy clean room.

THE ACCESSIBILITY is horrible. Cabs charge 40€ for a 10 min ride and dont go down the hill, so we had to walk for 20 minutes from the main street with our bags. So you can imagine the way back in a very steep way up...otherwise the Tuktuk will cost 35€ for a 12 min ride to the city or 6€ to take you up the hill. The photos of the area are far from reality. Actually, it s a small port rather than a touristic beach
