Hilton Sorrento Palace Hotel

We've recently came back from our honeymoon here. I've never ever written a review before but felt compelled to with this one. We thought the hotel and everything about it was superb. We were treat like king and queen from the moment we stepped off the coach, we wanted for nothing. We are both very fussy eaters and think all food abroad tastes 'foreign' -but here it was like eating in the most top class restaurant everynight. The food was absolutley outstanding! We had all sorts of beautiful fish meats cheeses deserts. You get 4 courses, a cold starter, then a pasta dish i.e risotto (you can easily be full off this alone!) then the main course which is usually a meat i.e Steak, swordfish, seabass, veal, with veg salad etc, then any desert you want almost! Wine list is incredible, about 500 to choose from, you could get a good bottle of rose from 18euro, right up to prestige white wine at 560euro. Breakfast! Amazing! fresh orange is made with oranges you put in yourself, an egg station where staff make you any kind of omlettes/ eggs you want. Then another makes you any kind of pancaakes/waffles/donuts all with nutella, sryps, jams etc. This is on top of all your bog standard breakfast stuff. The staff here could not do enough for you, once you were anywhere near the front door someone was stood there opening it for you, same with reception, before they could see you they would be staanding waiting to deal with you. Hotel is immaculate, pools lovely, can aalways get a lounger, lovely gardens if you want some quiet to sunbathe, linen changed everyday, towels robes and beach towels provided. 10 min downhill stroll to Sorrento (We had our 4 moth old baby with us and managed fine both ways with buggy). The deco is first class. We went to capri, took the hydrojet ourselves from the marina (15 min from hotel). Also we took the train to the ruins of Pompei from Sorrento, only cost 3euro and took you direct! We had the times of our lives here and will definatley be returning to this and now other Hilton resorts. The staff were all lovely with our baby as was the case with all the Italians, we found them all very friendly and helpful. It did cost a fortune but it was worth every single penny, makes your hard work all year round worth it when this is a reward! If you haven't gathered already by this -we couldn't reccomend it enough!!! :-)
