Hotel Le Agavi  

It could not be rated as 5-star hotel, 4 stars the most. Extremely uncomfortable beds, pillows. No safe deposit in the room, you have to go to concierge.

A fantastic location, beautiful views from the terrances of the rooms. Very friendly relaxed informal staff. The beach deck, swimming area and beach restaurant are great. The rooms are not City 5 star luxury but absolutely appropriate for a high quality summer holiday feel. The views are just exceptional. The hotel are very helpful on recommendations, booking boat trips and hiring boats and other activities - but you have to ask, little information is actually provided.

Could provide a little more information to guests

The weather was great and the staff were very friendly and helpful we had turn down service every night There was also a courtesy bus laid on so you can get into town, the pool area was nice and quiet, we liked all the stairs it kept us fit. The private beach was lovely but can get a bit noisy with the mobile phones and the boards move when someone walks by, sea was lovely, the view was stunning could'nt get enough of it.

There were a lot of bugs that kepted on coming in our room it was like something out of evolution you were frightend to open a cupboard in case something jumped out at you, and no they were not just gnats, ants or flys, we had giant millepedes that must of been on steriods, spiders and big wood lice. The bed was too hard which were twins put together,when I booked I did ask for double, no singles and No Gaps the pillows were to hard and the shower was useless, oh and girls bring a hairdryer and a travel kettle as there are no coffee/tea making facilities in the room. There was'nt a safe in the room you have to use safe deposit box in reception. I think the room was sub-standard for what we paid, but on the other hand we will go back but will book direct so we get exactly what we want. The room that we stayed in (707) classic double only had a small balcony you felt a bit to close to your neighbours.could have done with a bigger room. We were not keen on the continental breakfast it does become a bit samey after a while but there was plenty to choose from if you like that kind of thing.........

The layout. And the amazing view. SErvice and kindlyness

That internet not was included and free. Very bad accually. The room rate should really have space for it.

Hotel is beautiful and staff is helpful, friendly and courteous. View is breathtaking. Breakfast was very good. Dinner was average.

Hotel Le Agavi is a family owned 5* hotel set in the most unbelievable location. No brochure / review / could possibly do it justice - you just have to go and find out for yourself! Yes this is the south of Italy, so any Hotel is going to be a different type of experience to that of somewhere like Dubai or major cosmopolitan resort - but this hotel exceeds all expectations. The staff are attentive and extremely helpful, rooms are clean and have the most wonderful views on the planet - you look across to Positano and .... wow! The restaurant completes the experience - stunning view, extremely high quality food and great service - what more could you ask for.

The views are stunning from wherever you are at the hotel. It was good to watch Positano from outside the town, although the free shuttle bus transported you there and back every hour. The room was very large with a good sized terrace. Food was fantastic - some of the best seafood I have ever had.

Price - I guess - it was a little expensive for the room and dinner but we would still pay it again.

It's a unique hotel to Positano - with many amenities like pool, beach, deck and restaurant on site. It's a little stuffy and if you're not Italian you definitely feel like an outsider. Staff if helpful, but formal and standoff-ish if you don't know what to ask to become more comfortable. Don't expect to move about without giving yourself a lot of time to negotiate the many levels of this hotel. Very relaxing once we figured out how to pace ourselves. The free shuttle to town was great. Landscaping is beautiful.

The steps to everything were a novelty that wore off quickly. The hotel needs a small sundries shop on site for conveniences though or concierge who can stock drugstore basics, gum, candy bars, small stuff. Also, the hotel restaurants are outrageously expensive even by Positano standards - 14 Euro for a dish of ice cream and 22 Euro for a simple sandwich is crazy a midday lunch on the deck while sunbathing. It's lovely hotel, but overpriced for what you get, although the property is unique and I understand them capitalizing on their features. It's just that it's not so comfortable to move about the grounds and doesn't feel luxurious.

Views are simply amazing

Hotel is very dated. However it is well maintained and kept clean. You clearly are paying for the vies but for the you pay, you would expect a more up to date hotel.

Everything was absoluetly amazing. The staff were incredibly helpful and attentive, especially the staff at the beach resaurant. We spent every day on the deck down by the sea which im surprised hasnt been talked about a lot on the reviews. It is amazing. If you jut want to relax on a really confoirtable pool chair, dip into the mediteranean every so often, get waited on by the amazing staff then this place is for you. The shuttle bus into poitano takes max 10 minutes and is such a blessing given that a taxi would cost 20 euros. It comes every hour and is always on time and very comfortable. Overall amazing hotel, amazing 8 days there (we actually extended out stay by 1 night because we just couldnt bare to leave). Wish I was back there now!

Spectacular views; the rooms & bathrooms.

- The breakfast was good, employees very friendly

- This is not really a 5 star ; maximum 4 stars! Very old furnished, small bathrooms, old furniture, you have to pay extra for the parking eur 25,- the day, also for the internet you have to pay - this is not what I would expect from a 5-star-hotel.

El hotel tiene un entorno espectacular en el corazón de la costa amalfitana. Permite combinar el ocio marítimo y las excursiones a Capri, Positano, Amálfi, Sorrento, etc. El servicio de camareros muy eficiente y los "autistas" (aparcacoches) autenticos expertos , dadas las dificultades que existen por la situación del hotel, aunque lo más práctico es utilizar el microbus que baja y sube a Positano cada hora. En resumen, una estancia inolvidable.

Dada la estructura del hotel, construido en un acantilado, el único medio de acceder desde la Recepción a las diversas habitaciones y al restaurante del mar es un funicular de cremallera (por cierto, con unas vistas maravillosas) que hace todo el recorrido. Ninguna objeción al funicular; el problema es que sus esperas se hacen pesadas porque a todas las horas del día los diversos servicios del hotel (camareros/as de habitaciones, cocineros, jardineros, encargados de basuras, etc.) lo utilizan, lo que implica que se sube o baja con cajas, bultos de ropa sucia, contenedores de materiales de desecho diverso, etc. que, aparte de paralizar las salidas/ entradas, obliga a realizar el trayecto con olores no muy agradables. Bastaría con que esos servicios, necesarios y justificados, se realizaran en horas de mañana o noche en las que los huéspedes estén en sus habitaciones. Es solamente un problema de organización. De otra parte, en un hotel de la categoria de éste se hechan de menos algunos detalles en las habitaciones y los baños que son usuales en hoteles similares o, incluso, de menor categoría.
