Hotel Terme Royal Palm

The beds were awful, the shower was bad, and the cleaning fell below par. Restaurant staff also told guests where to sit at the breakfast buffet, rather than letting us choose our own table, and very few people understood English. Food was expensive and mostly poor, though Terrazza bar was really great. On the plus side, the pool area and bar were lovely, and the place was peaceful in a wonderful location. It mostly attracts elderly guests, which suited us because we wanted to relax. This could be an excellent place if they fixed some things and renovated the rooms a little.

We had a warm, courteous welcome from Nicola & Maria at the front desk. Elenna $ Daniela made us feel welcome at breakfast, which had a full choice. The accommodations were nice, and the view of Ciatara was wonderful. Highly recommend!

The food was honestly prepared, and I enjoyed it. Our room was cleaned properly each day, but the restaurant service barely felt professional and reception didn't meet the standard. Comfort was extremely low: the room was small even though we paid for a superior room, the mattress was horrible, and the air conditioning didn't work properly. I also never felt I had privacy, like strangers were constantly around. The location and the view are probably the only reasons to choose this hotel. It isn't for everyone and doesn't meet the standard you'd expect.

I’m staying here now, and for the price the hotel seems great, though maybe that's because Positano and Capri had just given me sticker shock. At dinner, my girlfriend and I were the only two people under 45 in a room of about 100 guests. I’ve heard this island is a destination for seasoned individuals, so perhaps that’s just the island as a whole.
