Hotel La Vue D'Or

"Okay, i will do bullet points. It is easier. Hots: - Pretty views of the olive groves, sorrento, and Vesuvius from the room. - There is a cute neighbouring donkey olive grove guardian next door. We love him. - Shower is powerful and bed is comfortable, however is it two single beds pushed together. Fell down the crack a lot as only a mattress topper holds them together. - food is tasty and so many big portions. - continental breakfast is great. - cleaner is a saint and very attentive especially after all the ill guests. - waiting and bar staff are friendly and helpful. -Lasagne starter was the best of the lot. - Tony is a character! Very extroverted and outgoing but a lovely chap. - there is a free hourly shuttle bus that goes into town but it gets very crowded and does not run early enough for some excursions. But it is free. -Public EAV transport is 1.50€ per ticket and a stop is around the corner from the hotel. Nots: - so many people in neighbouring rooms were vomiting and had diarrhoea. We could hear the retching and splashing through the walls. - we also got really ill with d&v and the hotel seemed to play it down. Probably to not alarm new arrivals. This was reported to holiday rep. As did others affected. A red flag regarding infection control. - it is isolated, there is no nearby shop to pop to for drinks or OTC pain relief. My husband travelled a 3 hour round trip to get medication that a GP prescribed me from the closest possible pharmacy. The hotel would not help. I was violently ill alone a lot during that time. - drinks are not included in half board. They are on par cost-wise with the rest of Sorrento, possibly UK city (not London!) prices. - half board is not worth it really. Mains are ok, but pretty much the same daily: Meat/fish and two veg. Do not get the duck and orange sauce. It was bland and both overcooked (breast) and undercooked (skin) at the same time. - the staff turn off they air con via controls at reception at night. They claim it is triggered by opening the balcony door. It is not. There is no sensor. I had to complain to the travel rep. - lack of smaller light bites options at lunch. A sandwich or panini would have been great! - the free wifi is unreliable and the signal is poor. I had 1 bar on 4G (UK O2) if I was lucky."

"Super setting , super service ! Trip of a lifetime"

"Our resent holiday in La Vue D’Or was a great experience. Lovely looking hotel on the hillside road . Gardener has it looking lovely. Rooms basic but very clean would appreciate a kettle ,we brought our own after reading the reviews. Meals were all good we were looked after by Miguel, Tarek, and of course, Pina , special thanks to them for making our stay a good one. Reception staff are very helpful given us information about buses and walk near by to a local village. Sorrento is a great location to get to the Amalfi Coast my favorite was Ravello beautiful place. Enjoyed our visit to Naples too was an experience I won’t forget the busy wee streets and beautiful buildings to and so many churches visited in all the different places. I safely home without being run over by a motorcycle as nobody stops for you to cross you just have to go for it between the cars and bikes. Happy memories karen & Kathleen"
