I would actually have given this hotel a zero rating if I could. This is the worst hotel I have stayed in over 40 years. The hotel is tired , old, rundown and worst of all dirty !!! The bathrooms in particular are suffering from a total lack of cleaning for years. We started in room 1003 which was an annex room, this room was totally ridiculous, filthy and in serious need of repair. Raised with the TUI rep who raised with management, they agreed to upgrade us to a balcony room but not until the next day, TUI rep did say surely this room will at least be clean, how wrong she was, bathroom was again filthy, we went straight up to reception and complained, this room was 330. The receptionist then showed my wife and I 3 further rooms all with the same or worse issues, while showing us the rooms we were asked not to take pictures or complain !!! We were given another room on the Monday, again the bathroom was not clean, room 226. TUI were going to move us if possible on the Tuesday evening, but there was a possible water shortage where they were going to move us to, so we reluctantly stayed. In total we lived out of our suitcases for the first 5 days of our holiday. In general the hotel was damp, rusty and poorly maintained, probably never been maintained in years or thoroughly cleaned. Outside there were electrical cables cut off and sticking out the ground. The food started off poor but did get better although not hot enough. The air conditioning vents were filthy. I could go on and on but in general TUI who appeared concerned and interested were not really and we are still trying to get suitable compensation. Tui are as much to blame as they are still giving this a 4T rating when at best it should be a 2T and certainly should not be dirty. Please take this review seriously and do not book this hotel.

We have stayed on the Sorrentine peninsula several times, but it was our first time staying a little out of town, in Meta Di Sorrento. We found Mar Hotel Alimuri the perfect base for our Sorrento and Amalfi travels. There’s a huge amount of things to be positive about with the hotel: we found the decor charming and traditional (where others have maybe claimed it’s tired and in need of modernisation). We have stayed in beautiful hotels on the coast and I think they all have a similar vibe. Sure, some parts of the hotel needed a lick of paint, but I sense this is all in the pipeline as it’s clear the hotel is investing in itself. The staff were always friendly and went out their way to make us feel welcome. A lovely waitress went of her way and found some biscuits for my daughter after she demanded them. They were always willing to grab you drinks and nothing was ever too much trouble. I found the food good generally, breakfast lots of choice. I’m not a fussy eater, but I still felt there was something for everyone. If you fancy eating out of the hotel, there are some amazing restaurants within walking distance (Tavernetta 58 one of the best meals I’ve ever had). I did find the cocktails slightly inconsistent so I think this is an area they could work on. Not sure espresso martinis should be served with ice cubes and zero espresso, but I get that this can be challenging at an all inclusive (Frozen margaritas were delicious). The sunset is absolutely breathtaking and I’d recommend you have drinks there as many times as you can. The shuttle is also very convenient to get into Sorrento, but have a wander round Meta too. A few areas for improvement would be including water in the room fridges, maybe having a better coffee offering (I’m not sure the coffee machine at breakfast gives a good account of Italian coffee) and sorting the showers out (water goes everywhere) ! BUT overall, we had a fantastic time and at the price point, we think it’s fabulous. Will hopefully return in the future! Thank you.

Well, where do I start, we arrived home yesterday from Mar Alimuri Spa 4 star hotel, I did read a few negative reviews about this hotel but I thought perhaps people were a little too fussy and as I am not the kind to complain I thought surely this lovely 4 star spa hotel couldn’t be as bad as some were saying on trip advisor! How very wrong I was, if you are looking to book this hotel please don’t, it’s terrible, dirty entrance which from the outside looks like a back street workers hostel, step inside and you are met by a damp smell which gets worse when you go to your room! The spa wasn’t open, they said it was under repair but we were advised we could use the toilets on the same floor as the spa! It absolutely stinks and as rotting furniture standing against the very damp walls, the smell is horrendous! Our balcony light, or should I say what should be a light was 3 wires sticking out of the wall above the door! I asked after 4 nights if our bedding could be changed but when we got back to our room that afternoon it had not been done so I went and found one of the house keeping girls, I asked her if she spoke and understood English to which she replied yes madam, so I asked could our bed have clean linen put on to which she replied, I no understand!! So I took some clean sheets and pillow cases off her trolly and headed to our room but she then understood so she came and changed the bed for me, she wasn’t happy!! The food is all Luke warm, and lacks any flavour, believe me I could go on and on, the safe didn’t lock. The hairdryer didn’t work, the entertainment is abysmal and the drinks all seemed watered down! And the view onto the shingle beech is shocking unless you want to look at a rusty old digger!! We paid almost £2500 to stay at this hotel, do yourself a massive favour and DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL! Needless to say I am now contacting Tui, this hotel should not be on Tui booking system!
