Grand Hotel Aminta

my wife and two friends have just returned from the hotel aminta. the hotel and staff were, friendly ready to serve you all day and night. The meals were excellent well presented, the dining room and bar staff were all smartly dressed. The views from the patio were spectacular. This is a hotel i would recommend to all my friends. We will definitely be returning next year.

As my mum and her family are from Sorrento, we do try to visit as often as possible. This year we stayed in the Grand Hotel Aminta, located about 1.5km out of Sorrento on the top of a hill overlooking the bay.
Our stay was fantastic. All staff were extremely friendly, the food was great, and the views were breathtaking. We will definitely be returning next year if possible and I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking to stay in Sorrento.
Sorrento itself is such a great place, words and photos cannot do it justice, you have to go to appreciate its true beauty and atmosphere. Not to mention the food and weather. I would definitely recommend a visit to Sorrento.

We stayed in the Annex - Villaminta - excellent room and brilliant outlook across the Lemon groves to the sea.
The hotel staff were friendly and service excellent as was the food.
Sorrento town accessible on foot or by local bus/Hotel mini-bus. Try the "rural road" down! Lots to see and do in the area, and would recommend not hiring a car as public transport good - even to get to and from the airport.
Trip along the Amalfi coast in a mini bus was well worth the additional cost, as we saw places inaccessible by ordinary bus, and difficult by car because of parking restrictions.
Wonderful restaurant just further up the road from the Aminta, in the hills - they will collect you and return you to the hotel!

Been home a week from Sorrento and I must say that I’m missing it already! We will definitely consider returning next year as we had such a fantastic holiday. We gathered to watch the world cup final in the piazza and what an evening it was! Everybody was friendly and joyous.
The Grand Hotel Aminta was a good hotel for the money and I have spoken to others who were in different accommodation and to be honest I feel we got the best! Service was excellent! Food quality excellent! But one thing I do advise is not to book excursions! Do them your self you’ll see more and at your own pace. A trip to Capri is a must it’s so amazing! The boat trips are so awe inspiring!
In a whole if you are thinking of going to Sorrento don’t think any longer just go!

As soon as I have come back from Sorrento I had to write a review of the Grand Hotel Aminta.
Our room was on the 5th floor with a lift service to the 4th. The views from our room of Sorrento, Vesuvius and Naples were outstanding.
The room was clean and presentable.
The hotel service was second to none. Nothing was too much trouble. The food was good with breakfast being the best. A lot of effort was put into presentation of the meals. The dining room waiters paid a lot of attention to detail. Some food was not to our tastes but on the whole it was good.
We had a price breaker holiday and for the price we paid the hotel was brilliant!!

Stayed at the Aminta for 7 night in the middle of October 2005. We were disappointed to say the least. Firstly the room we were allocated (7B) was very small and joined to another room via a door hidden behind the wardrobe, making the already paper thin walls even thinner. After speaking to the tour rep we were moved to the Annex. I have the say the room we were moved to was a lot more spacey, however the smell of sulphur got a little strong at times.
The food was also disappointing....maybe we went with expectations higher than most! The breakfast was a nice selection of cereals, bread and cakes with an extra supplement to pay for a cooked breakfast. (11 Euros for one fried egg, one small rasher of bacon and one hotdog sausage. Excessive!).
Drinks from the bar were more expensive than we thought paying 7.5 euros for a pint of Nastro Azzuro. The dinners weren't much better. I went at least two evenings without eating part the meal, one of which was the gala evening when prawns and squid were served as part of the set meal. Not everybodies taste! Desserts were good though!
So to sum up would I come back to the Aminta? Definitely NOT. This is a very average Hotel and in my opinion is not worth the 4* rating.
