3 of us (girls) went to this hotel as a week break. The Sorrento area is lovely, exactly what you would expect from an small Italian town, although it is a lot smaller than we expected and not as many restaurants and bars as we would have liked.

However, we were very disappointed with the hotel pool. It was a lot smaller than it looks and continually shaded. Therefore, the few days of sunshine we had, we had to go elsewhere to sit out in it. We went to another hotel to use their pool which cost 15 euros each.

We then found out that the beach they advertise being close to on their website, wasn't even open. This got us very annoyed as it was one of the reasons we chose the hotel. Mind you, from seeing the Sorrento area it is apparent that it isn't a beach holiday place anyway. Also, the tours of the islands had stopped because of the time of year. It would have been nice to know all this before we booked.

The hotel restaurant was a bit on the expensive side but we couldn't fault the breakfasts at all. Very nicely done and with lots of choice.

The staff were friendly and helpful and the rooms were clean and a reasonable size.
The bar was nice, indoor and out but again, the drinks were expensive.

All in all, we found Sorrento a lovely place to visit but make sure you go in the height of summer if you want to sit by a pool, beach etc. Also make sure you bring a lot of spending money.

I would not recommend this hotel to young singles or anyone who loves sunbathing!

We can't say enough good things about this hotel. Elegant, great pool, amazing restaurant, gracious buffet breakfast, impeccable service from all staff, gorgeous room and a balcony view overlooking lemon groves - I mean what else could you want! This hotel lives up to its website description in every way. If you are the type of traveler who likes to be out of the tourist craziness, Sant'Agnello is a perfect alternative to Sorrento. In a nice 20 minute walk through neigborhoods you can reach Sorrento and eat dinner, etc. there. Bus stop is just minutes up the street and Sant'Agnello has a lot to offer as well. Perfect place to do day trips to Amalfi & Positano. Definitely stay here if you want a peaceful and romantic stay near Sorrento.

This hotel was part of a group package in Italy. This was one of my favorite locations. The hotel has beautiful panoramic views overlooking Sorrento! The decor is tastefully done and the staff was friendly and helpful. The walls were a little thin, but with so many other amenties this was such a small inconvience! The location is only a few blocks away from amazing views of the ocean and Mt. Vesuvius. The only complaint I had was not being able to spend enough time at this location. I would definately return to this hotel and Sorrento!

Have just got back from a weeks holiday in the Majestic Palace hotel Sorrento and what a lovely place in a great location.The hotel was clean and the staff especially the waiters were friendly and helpful.The room was clean,bathroom was a little cramped but not a problem,towels changed daily and rooms kept tidy,food was excellent lots of it! plenty of places to visit our favourites were Capri and the Amalfi drive both spectacular! Pompeii and Herculaneum were also worth a visit.Weather was lovely except for one day of rain when we were due to visit Versuvius so that was cancelled,do go to Sorrento if you can and stay at this excellent hotel
