Grand Hotel President

Have just returned from the Hotel President in Sorrento. It was a fabulous experience - friendly staff, stunning views (well worth the expense of a superior sea view room)and great food. The hotel was spotless and everything about the hotel was great. Patricularly of note was the huge open air terrace bar from which you could see superb views of Sorrento. The Thomson entertainment team worked their 'socks' off to make sure everyone had a good time.
Went on the Thomson 'select' tour of the Amalfi coast and wouldn't say it was worth the price paid easpecially as it took up the whole day until 7.00 at night which was incredibly long, hot and tiring wheras the ordinary Amafi tour was half a day and took in just about the same destinations bar one for much less than half the price. Would love to go back but diappointed that Thomson are changing it from gold to platinum so allowing children to stay. Its architecture makes it the most child unfriendly hotel you could imagine with balconies that can be clambered up (which is what children tend to do) and one would have to keep them on a tight leash as there is so little for them to do in such a location as Sorrento.
All in all, one of the best holidays I have ever had and its such a shame that its change in status to platinum will mean I won't be going back. Hotel President thanks for a superb holiday and if you ever change back to adults only I will be back like a shot.
