Grand Hotel Santa Maria

Sono stata accolta da due receptionist giovane e super educati e disponibili! Ho passato soltanto una notte ed il giorno dopo ho fatto colazione presso di loro. È stato come vivere un sogno ,relax cordialità pulizia e precisione totale! La camera con una vista spettacolare sul litorale . Posizione ottima per chi va non automunito. Mi è stato consigliato come muovermi e dove mangiare tutti posti molto buoni! La colazione di qualità non c'era nulla che fosse non gradito o non buono! I camerieri anche loro professionali e cordiali sempre col sorriso . Mi sono sentita come a casa e sicuramente ci ritornerò! Vale la pena soggiornare da presso il loro hotel sia per lo staff ottimo, sia per la posizione,la vista la QUALITÀ!

A truly enjoyable stay in all senses. The beautiful location, the friendly and attentive staff, the lovely room, the hotel decor and all the amenities made it a wonderful experience. We would return in a heart beat!

A beautiful sea front hotel with stunning views. Very well located with great access to Paestum and Old Castellabate. It is just a short walk to the town with everything you might need. You can follow the road or walk along the beach, however you may need your phone torch for a very short section along the beach at night. There is free parking with the hotel which is located in the town; a lovely porter will shuttle you to and from your car. There are some spaces right outside the hotel for ease with bags and disabled spaces there too. The rooms are large and very clean with incredibly comfortable beds. We had a sea view and a lovely balcony. The showers here are amazing! The hotel boasts its own private beach, which is sand and staff will arrange loungers for you, you can access the bar from the beach using the QR code on your umbrella. Lovely clear water and an amazing sunset experience sat in the beach bar. Mostly excellent service, we only had an issue with one of the receptionists, who had some attitude but everyone else was very friendly and helpful. There was Maximillian on reception, who was fantastic, a lovely blonde on the beach bar with the friendliest smile and was really enthusiastic and last but certainly not least the porter who was so very generous and helpful. There are lots of bars within the hotel, all with differing opening hours listed in the elevators. You receive and amazing snack variety with drinks. We never ate at the hotel as we decided to go into town, but if we stayed again we definitely would as the breakfast was very good. I personally prefer a savoury breakfast, however my mother says the apricot tart there is superb (a regional speciality I believe). The chocolate cake looked delicious, but sadly I had to abstain as I was attending a wedding shortly after. I had hoped for some tomatoes to go with my breakfasts, but there were not any provided. There was every kind of milk or juice available and plenty of fresh fruit, preserves and yoghurts. Hams, cheeses, eggs and a full patisserie selection. The pain au chocolat style Italian pastry I am told was delicious along with some of the doughnut looking types of food. There are lots of nice touches around the hotel and in the bedroom giving an air of luxury, such as the towelling slippers, which were very much appreciated and used. I believe there is a spa, but I did not visit it. Our only gripe about the hotel was that some tables were closed off during our stay as the cushions were being laundered, this limited seating space at the beach bar, there were some very comfortable seated areas dotted around on different levels of the hotel, however these were not well served by bars and too many different elevator rides to take our own drinks there. The bar on the middle section should be open all day to cover these areas in my opinion. Also I am of the opinion that a 4 star hotel should not have a bar that closes, there should always be somewhere open to get a nightcap sho

We were welcomed warmly by every staff member. We were upgraded upon arrival to a 2 bedroom suite! The rooms were large and the views spectacular! We loved the men who drove us to the squad in their golf cart and were so friendly! There is no doubt that we would highly recommend a stay here and if we return to this beautiful and quaint town, we will book again!

This hotel is located in a beautiful location and offers lovely facilities. The staff are really friendly and accommodating. The food is amazing in both of the restaurants and the beach bar is a lovely relaxing place to unwind. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend to our friends and family.

Very nice hotel, great suite over looking the water and the hotel restaurant's octopus salad was phenomenal, the best I've ever had.

Not our first visit to Santa Maria di Castellabate but our first stay at GHSM. From booking to checkout the experience was perfect. Beautiful beachfront location with a staff that is a credit to the hotel. Top floor room well appointed and others in our group of 9 had great service. All depar**ents exceeded expectations. To visit family and stay here is a perfect vacation. This region is a must visit and stay at the GHSM. A true 5 star stay.

This is a lovely hotel two minutes walk from the small town of Santa Maria di Castellabate right on its own private beach. We had a suite with full sea view which was lovely, plenty of space, immaculately clean and everything you could wish for. Breakfast was extensive and very good - the only suggestion we have is a screen between one end of the dining room and the lounge area to stop smoke drifting in from smokers whilst eating breakfast. Staff were efficient and extremely helpful, special mention to Elena on reception and the gentleman on night duty who went above and beyond when we need assistance. Highly recommended.
