We chose this hotel primarily because of its price - and there is no doubt it is very good value. The Sorrento area, with its buzzing motorbikes and crazy driving, can be hectic - particularly in summer, but the Caravel is tucked down a quiet avenue in Sant Agnello about 25 mins walk from Piazza Tasso. There is a hotel minibus that takes you part way (maybe not quite near enough) and the walk is not too bad. In any event the seafront is only 150m away from the hotel and you can admire views across the bay of Naples from a terrace or get down to the beach. The hotel is fully air-conditioned, spotlessly clean and the helpfulness and efficiency of the staff can't be faulted. The food is fine, there is a lovely pool, secluded patio area and a blazing sun terrace (when we were there anyhow!). The rooms are not large, nor the balconies, but on a holiday the room is just a place to lay your head and clean up and in those respects it was more than adequate. We enjoyed our holiday in Sorrento very much, and this was in large part down to the fact that we were staying in such a welcoming place as the Caravel. I would certainly return.

The food in the restaurant was AMAZING!! A three course meal with a choice of five different options, although i would avoid the Rumbabas.The waiter Luigi is the coolest waiter there has ever been...ever, he is everyone's best friend. Classic musical entertainment every night in the bar. There is a great pool and a terrace on the roof for sunbathing. You can walk into Sorrento which takes about 20 minutes, i would recommend walking and NOT getting the service bus - that is an experience to be avoided. The rooms were nice and all the staff were extremely helpful and friendly.

Pleasant enough hotel, nothing special...but a very long stroll, nay walk, into the town of Sorrento. If you like a 20-25 minute walk in the heat after a long day's sight seeing (plenty to see- Pompeii, Herkulanium, Capri, Amafi Coast...) fine. If not, it might be wise to look elsewhere. Can recommend the Moonlight Restaurant just around the corner for excellent pizzas at a ridiculously low price!

Having spent 11 days at the Cavavel last year we decided to return this year as we found the hotel very clean and the staff extremely friendly and helpful. It is within a five minute walk to the bus route which takes you into the town of Sorrento for 1 Euro. We were extremely happy with the service we received .
