Good spot and price. Great people who were helpful always. Location is tough to access. Make sure you read check-in instructions and call for shuttle. Google maps has trouble finding.

Getting to the property from Sorrento is very easy, if you take the bus or a taxi. My brother and I walked; it was a beautiful walk, but very long, and a little dangerous as we had to walk along the side of the road. This is not the hotel's fault/problem by any mean; just a forewarning to anyone staying in this area (don't walk unless you want to get an extra 10-12k steps in that day!) The hotel itself was beautiful. Fantastic view of the ocean from our balcony. The restaurant next door had great food for all meals of the day. A perfect little bay with just a few hotels, so nice and private. The only "issue" I had was with the firmness of the bed; it was too firm and thus uncomfortable for me. The pillows were also not amazing. Otherwise, I would definitely book here again, and recommend it to any of my friends or family looking to stay in the area.

one major problem is the accessibility to property. Taxis can only pick up and drop off at a parking lot quite far away. one need to call the hotel to get ride. in one night, we had to make international call 5 times to get a ride. No one showed up. we finally key walking in the dark to reach the hotel. The front desk girl during the morning and early evening was extremely helpful and or ok fessional.

Very nice hotel in a beautiful setting. Room was not big, but very comfortable with a balcony and beautiful flowers. Staying in the room, we could here waves. Beach is very nice, just don’t forget to bring swimming shoes. Every one in the hotel and restaurant for breakfast were very helpful. The only thing we didn’t like, was shower, water was switching to cold all the time. But would comeback and stay there again!

Good hotel but tough logistics
The hotel room is big and comfortable and the staff is very nice and friendly. They are super helpful The scenery around the hotel is awesome as it is located on the beach But that is also its biggest downside as taxis cannot come to the hotel and you have to rely on shuttles to complete the last leg of your trip. So in the morning the logistics of planning your trip is complicated as you need to schedule both the shuttle ride as well as the taxi time. And the taxis generally end up charging a premium to come to this hotel due to its remote location. If you don’t plan on using this beach when you are in Sorrento as you will visit Amalfi Coast suggest you don’t stay at this hotel as the logistics are complicated. Easier to stay in Sorrento Centre with walking distance access to Port and shops / restaurants

Hidden gem about 15m by car from Sorrento - the hotel shuttle (cute fiat) will drop you at a bus stop two stops from Sorrento so you can get into town quickly/cheaply. The bus runs every 15-20m. Very nice friendly staff and a beautiful view/oceanfront, with walkable rocks/mini 4’ “cliffs” to jump off and a charming breakfast.

This has to be the worst hotel i ever stayed. I wasnt told that but, you have to park away from the property in the woods in the mud. Then call the hotel for a pick up(which i wasnt told) the food is in a restaurant that ran out of food.

Dear customer we are sorry that you did not like your stay. On the website it is indicated that the hotel is directly on the beach and that we have shuttle service to the parking, so it is not possible to leave the car near the hotel.

This is a small local hotel in a remote bay outside of Sorrento. Very difficult to find, quite remote parking and not much English spoken. Its on the beach but you will have to pay for the sun beds. No information for travellers in reception or the rooms

Amazing location. Amazing for a short getaway if you dont want to explore. You have everything you need there, and you dont need to move. If you are looking to explore, hire a car and there is car parking, and the hotel them offer a "shuttle" which is a hotel man in a small car. Pretty funny experience. The hotel is based around restaurants, but no mini shop to get snacks. The only other thing is, that the rooms didnt come with a kettle which we wouldve loved to have our morning teas. Otherwise clean and friendly! We will definitely visit again!!!

Overall a good stay! Service was great. Location is wonderful-right on the beach and a 15 min drive to Sorrento. Has access to lounge chairs and umbrellas. The marina nearby provides access to boat rentals, excursions to Capri, Positano, etc. Since the hotel is down by the beach, the parking is situated at the top and you would have to be shuttled to the hotel. It’s a quick 2 min drive and the shuttle service is available until 12:00 a.m. The restaurant below La Tavernatta was fabulous. Great service, great food, great ambiance! We ate there every night during our stay. It’s a really cute beach but I would recommend that they try to clean it once in awhile (too many cigarette butts).

This place is a secret little jewel. It’s quiet and calm from the crazy big towns and tucked away on its own little beach town. The restaurant attached to the hotel is excellent. Complementary breakfast every morning and the black sand beach is gorgeous with a fantastic view of Mt. Vesuvius. They even have a dock where they send you on a small boat to go to your bigger boat tours to Capri and Amalfi that you can set up with the hotel. Parking is up on the hill from the hotel but they have a little shuttle for you.

HARD to find but Worth Finding
Great Hotel clean, nice beach, great restaurant, beautiful hotel and great location. BEWARE getting there is NOT easy. Thanks everyone for your reviews, I at least knew this before I went. Yes GPS does not take you to the hotel. Let me give you some pointers. GPS takes you to where RESIDENTS and locals can enter the area. There is a man at a gate and he directs you back to the main road. Driving farther south there is an entrance between two white walls. Go down this way to the city parking lot for the beach. CONFUSING since it is marked for several different hotels. The signage is POOR Hotel Baia di Puolo does not Consistently use the same name. Find the unmanned guard shack that has some obscure signage and then continue to the right down what looks like a private driveway for another hotel. There is a pole with arrows to two different hotels, take the one to the right. That tiny sign on the guard shack is trying to get you to go this way. The road is narrow and dark. At the parking lot go to the far end and the hotel parking appears there. Then go through the gate and walk down a dark uneven pathway to the hotel. My wife fell on this walk from the parking lot to the hotel. Better lighting and pavement would be helpful. Oh by the way! If you are in a room in the 500's get off on the floor with rooms marked in the 200's. Your 500 room is to the right and unmarked as you exit the elevator. WORTH it but VERY hard to get to.

restaurant and arrival
Make sure you understand the discount for dinner at the restaurant attached to the hotel. It was not explained well and the restaurant staff was very rude. The discount offered is if all parties order off the same menu. The meal we had at the restaurant next door the next night was a better meal and less expensive than the "discount" the previous night. Our driver called as we approached the hotel since we were going to be past 7:00. They told him the person helping with luggage had already gone, but it would be easy to get to our room. They neglected to tell him to call when he got to the gate since it was locked. He dropped us off and we pulled our heavy luggage 1/2 a block over uneven terrain. They could have opened the gate so the driver could dropped us off at the door.

We had some trouble finding the place. We put the receptionist on with our taxi driver and they figured it out. Its neatly tucked away in its own village. There plenty of dining options nearby and the location is just phenomenal in itself. The restaurant is great as is. The wifi could be better. But a resort like experience in Italy.

Nice hotel right next to the beach. Quiet marina with great restaurants, must try Restaurant Don Vito. Hotel staff were nice, offered a daily shuttle to and from the town. Only bad part is the van is small so only 8 people at a time. I’d recommend upgrading especially with a lot of people staying at the hotel. Breakfast is included and was nice apart from the copious amounts of wasps around the buffet area. Overall, nice hotel with a quiet beach front and great restaurants nearby. Recommended if comfortable with relying upon the hotel shuttle or renting a car.

Nice hotel with good facilities.
With free parking on premise make it easier for guests who drove but the downside is the location of the hotel is not exactly shown on the google map thus making it difficult to find and also not exactly accessible with a car. Overall, the hotel was pretty good for the price.
