“What a view!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 December 2011

We stayed at the Poseidon for 2 nights in early September 2011. Our first 2 nights in Italy after the long flight from the USA and drive from Roma FCO. The staff was very helpful and professional. The room was clean and had a balcony with a spectacular view! Positano is one of the most picturesque places on earth and the view from our room was awesome. We had breakfast each morning on the main terrace overlooking the sea. The food was great and the service awesome. We walked to the beach, and shopped in the stores on the way down and back up to the hotel. The Poseidon is convenient to everything in Positano. You can walk the streets,or take the 350 steps up the side of the mountain to access the hotel from downtown, ask the staff for directions.

Room Tip: Our room had a terrace with 2 lounges which made it a nice place for relaxing with a cocktail and a...

“Fabulous Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 November 2011

If you are going to the Amalfo coast, definitely go to Positano and stay at the Poseidon hotel. We highly recommend it, after staying 9 nights in October. The staff was wonderful and extremely helpful with whatever you needed. The food in the hotel is excellent and the breakfast buffet including everything. The terrace where we ate breakfast was gorgeous with the stunning view looking down to the water and town. The hotel has a wonderful location, high enough up to enjoy the views, and still be able to walk into town and not have to take a shuttle. My husband and I cannot say enough good things about this hotel, definitely memorable. They even have a motorboat that they take guests out for a three hour trip up the Amalfi coast which was incrediable. We are definitely coming back.

Room Tip: higher up have better views

“Exceptional - perfectly relaxing atmosphere”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 October 2011

We have stayed at the Poseidon on 3 occasions in the last 4 years. On each occasion we have found the style in which the hotel is run very professional, helpful and genuine (not "have a nice day" by rote). This sense of comfort seems to affect other guests in the same way which helps to make the overall effect. The owners and Samer (guest relations manager) set a great standard in being hospitable which rubs off on all the staff. Really enjoyed the whole break and regretted having to leave beautiful Positano.

The best stay we had in all of our travels in Italy. Accomodations were outstanding, views incredible, service first class and convenient location. We wish we could have stayed longer and will definitely go back again.
