Guest reviews
Exceptional
A wonderful hotel, with fantastic staff
Liked: A beautiful old building, far enough away from a very busy Sorrento to avoid the crowds, but close enough to be able to enjoy the town in the evening and everything nearby, particularly with the helpful shuttle they run. We had a small problem with our room when we arrived, which the hotel staff sorted very out quickly, exceeding our expectations. All of the staff were fantastic in the hotel, the restaurant, bar, pool and on the beach, especially Giuseppe, the Chief Concierge who organised a few things for us. Coku restaurant was outstanding as well.
Disliked: Nothing
Liked: Your concierge, Giuseppe, went above and beyond to make this a wonderful trip for us. He helped us when we had a medical problem and also set up fantastic excursions for us. I cannot overstate how valuable that man is to your property.
Very enjoyable three night stay
Liked: Nice big pool. Different places to eat and drink. Staff great.
Disliked: Nothing comes to mind.
My favorite hotel
Liked: My husband booked this historic hotel and it is a gem. The property is stunning with an amazing beach club and access to the sea. The pool is a quiet oasis surrounded by lush gardens where a refreshing breeze helps heat the heat. The staff is kind and genuine - the bartender Massimo shared enthusiastic tips for travel and lots of facts about the history of the region. Every person who works here seems genuinely happy to assist. Our room was comfortable and large with a little veranda and all the best modern conveniences. We will definitely be back - we fell in love with Sorrento and this world class experience.
Just a let down
Liked: While Grand Hotel Cocumella offers a beautiful setting, the exorbitant nightly rate does not reflect the actual guest experience. Despite the hotel's five-star status, several glaring issues regarding service, hospitality, and privacy severely undermined our stay. At breakfast, there was a member of staff who was constantly wiping his brow and being on his phone, then would immediately cut the focaccia bread. The service at the pool was remarkably rigid and unwelcoming. I was abruptly publicly pulled aside by a staff member who displayed a covertly hostile attitude simply because I was eating a shortbread biscuit. I was informed that only hotel-purchased food was permitted, forcing me to finish the biscuit right in front of them. Even more egregious, an elderly gentleman in his 80s was told he could not drink his own bottled water for the same reason a shocking lack of basic empathy and hospitality. The definitive low point of our stay occurred at the hotel's supposedly private dock. While we were relaxing for our anniversary, a group of young women rushed the daybeds. They openly called more friends to join, explicitly stating that staff members were letting outsiders in for €10 each. This completely contradicts what we were told at check-in that the dock was strictly exclusive to hotel guests. When paying thousands per night, one expects exclusivity, flawless service, and a premium atmosphere. Instead, the experience felt tarnished by a blatant sense of money-grabbing and a total failure to secure guest privacy. I have never experienced such petty enforcement or compromised exclusivity at any other five-star establishment.
Liked: The staff was very accommodating. The view was incredible. The food and dining experiences exceptional. Rooms were clean and comfortable.
Disliked: Would be nice if the pool was open later than 7 pm.
