Grand Hotel Aminta

We got a free upgrade from the Annex to a room with a balcony and the view across the bay of naples was amazing.We had a problem with our room door not closing properly and it was fixed within hours (very happy). The free bus to and from Sorrento was very reliable. The food in the resturant was excellent as was the service. The Breeakfast was far better than expected and the staff acroos the hotel were great. I especially feel that the staff in the resturant and at breakfast were very attentive and pleasant which made our stay that little bit more special.We had a wonderful holiday and The Grand Hotel Aminta played a major role in it. If we come to Sorrento again we will be staying here again.

Overall really enjoyed our stay in the annex at Aminta hotel. Room great size and comfortable. Like someone mentioned reception staff are professional but not very friendly and neither r the restaurant staff. Pool staff and pool bar staff and Anna our housekeeper are absolute credits to the hotel and always greet you with a smile and a chat. Pool area is small but very clean again as someone mention prob the most uncomfortable loungers I’ve ever used because you cannot adjust to a more upright position. Breakfast was nice lots of choice and coffee great - poached eggs were incredible. As others said the shuttle bus is really the only way into town ( we walked down one day which was ok - quite steep and uneven) but only takes 20 mins but too steep for most people to walk back and would be impossible in the dark. We always managed to get onto the shuttle bus but only just( they def need a bigger bus which other hotels had). Just do not understand why they have a shuttle return 8:30pm,9.30pm then nothing till 1130pm. Another suggestion would be to arrange with other hotels nearby to pick up on the way down if they have spare spaces after collecting their own customers. Everyone said they should remove the 1130pm and instead do a 1030pm .i would recommend this hotel as views are stunning but if we come again we will go further down the hill so we can walk to and from town on our own schedule - when your on holiday don’t want to have to plan every movement

This hotel is well situated away from the hustle and bustle of Sorrento, but the shuttle bus provided by the hotel makes it very convenient to visits. The hotel was clean and the staff very friendly. I cannot commend the pool guy enough, he was ace, very attentive. Amazing place to stay for our first time to Italy *****

We absolutely loved the Aminta, stayed there for six nights. Every single member of staff we met were friendly, helpful and welcoming. The view from the hotel was fantastic, the pool area calm, spotlessly clean and well planned. We had a view from room 502 across the bay which was stunning. The shuttle bus was reliable (in terms of time, the usual bus broke down halfway up the hill on day three and was replaced by a smaller 17 seater whilst they get the much larger version fixed!) and was welcome as it is €35 for a 10 min taxi ride from town. The breakfast buffet was extensive and delicious, lunch great and varied. Evening meals could be a bit hit and miss but we still ate at the hotel twice and the other nights went into town, catching either the 21.30 or 23.30 shuttle bus back. All in all, a superb hotel, staffed by the friendliest and welcoming people.

We have been visiting Aminta for 10 years now and we never tire of the place. It remains as beautiful as ever with slight modernisations over the years which makes it even better. The hotel in itself is spotless and the housekeeping are fantastic with the rooms cleaned including fresh towels every day. All the staff are amazing from the ladies at the front desk , Vitoria, Rosella, Lauren are there every year to welcome us and it feels like coming home, and even the new members of staff that we haven’t met since or last visit greet us like family. We were there for the lead up to Ferragosto an Italian holiday and a very busy one but nothing phases the staff from the superb guys at the pool to the fantastic staff in the restaurants and bars who work incredibly long hours but even in temps 40 degrees they are spotless. Aminta maybe slightly out of town (1/2 a mile if you go down the hill) but the views are breathtaking and I wouldn’t stay in the centre because of this. We are a well travelled couple but Aminta is our home from home and can’t wait to return next year. See you next August!

Great location up overlooking Sorrento. About a 10 min drive to city center. There is a free hotel shuttle (which is a varying personal vehicle, it is not SITA public shuttle ($2 EU) we made that mistake as both pick/up drop off at shuttle sign locations. The shuttle car usually has a sign in the front window and runs basically every hour. They are prompt and at times a few minutes early. You can also walk (we didn’t) on a nice pathway and is @ 25 min to city center. Being up in a hill it was VERY windy sitting out on the room balcony in November, but still lovely. The property is beautiful with very professional bar and food service. Great selection of wines and the restaurant menu has a wonderful selection. Restaurant prices surprised me being much lower than I’d expected also. Food presentation was also spot on and everything was delicious. We left early one morning to our tour of Pompeii and the front desk prepared a box breakfast of muffins, apples and fruit drinks for us to take which was an unexpected treat. The gym is small and only open between @ 8am and 6:30pm. You must reserve the gym for only an hour at a time and in advance which was rather inconvenient but we made due. The beds were comfortable and have smart TV’s with Netflix, Prime and many other streaming services available which we found was not the case in many other hotels where we stayed. As an American who does not speak Italian this is nice. I recommend Aminta as a wonderful place to stay in Sorrento if you like to be away from the crowds below and do not mind walking or shuttling into town. I would stay again.
