The property is fabulous with rooms with view of the Amalfi coast that are breathtaking. Service and breakfast were awesome. The only drawback is the location is isolated with no walkable dinner options but the hotel restaurant which has great food but gets repetitive after a few days. Definitely 5 stars and would return.

Stunning view from our room with a balcony!! Hotel was very pretty. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Ferry is a few minutes walk down the road walking along the ocean..view was spectacular!! Not close to train station but sooo worth the taxi fare. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend!!

We enjoyed our stay at Cetus hotel. The view was amazing and staff was friendly. The hotel is only 10 min away from the port to take the ferry which is great. A few things were missing from the room like tissues, etc. Overall hotel was good for the price we paid.

Our stay at Hotel Cetus
We were impressed by everything about Hotel Cetus. It was immaculate and had beautiful artwork throughout. The room was spacious & clean with a stunning view of the sea. The bed was also very comfy. The staff couldn't have been more hospitable and the breakfast was fantastic. We would visit here again.

Location is stunning, hotel is beautiful and the staff were amazing. Breakfast, lunch option (although small) delicious. The restaurant was 5/5 both times we went. WiFi was poor but the views were so beautiful it didn’t matter. Beach rocky (as expected), well maintained, staff lovely. Would absolutely stay again for longer!

The property is well located as it’s not a busy area, easy to eat at restaurants around but the hotel has the top rated restaurant. We went for dinner and it was excellent! The breakfast at the hotel is exceptional, so many options and the service is so good! The beach is great as well. There are comfortable chairs with umbrellas. You can have drinks and lunch there as well. The water is nice and calm, it too lane waves, great for swimming. Bring your goggles to see the small fish. The room has an amazing balcony overseeing the ocean and Salerno. The room is nice but small. You can tell the hotel is a little older as the walls need a little work but it’s very clean. There is also a spa at the hotel with a nice big hot tub overlooking the ocean, so nice and great temperature, not too hot. There is also a steam room. The gym is very small, no free weights. As for noise in the room, it’s usually quiet but if one guest over you drags a chair, you will hear it! The hotel should invest in putting something under the legs of chairs like they do in the restaurant. Some people are so inconsiderate and don’t thing how they are bothering people in the rooms under them! All in all this is a wonderful hotel with very good staff, we would go back! Dolly who works in the restaurant and beach, is amazing!

While keeping in mind that Amalfi Coast is a bit over-rated due to a flooding number of tourists , I would like to say that Hotel Cetus is ideal when it comes to value of money. Very friend staff , spacious rooms decorated with the local traditions. Breakfast with good amount of options. Private beach (don’t look for sand, it doesn’t exist). Big thank you to Elena in reception team, Erico the manager who took special care of us for our honeymoon and big thank you to all the other amazing staff with their smiles.

This property is absolutely beautiful. It took our breath away every time we walked in and out of the property. Our room was so cute and lovely. The breakfast buffet is so delicious, I think I’ll miss it the most. The restaurant is lovely as well and the staff there are so patient and kind. The front desk, Elena is the best and she helped so much. I loved Hotel Cetara and the town, Cetus. It’s located on the Amalfi Coast and the location is just to die for. We would definitely stay here again. 10/10 recommend.

Overall hotel is pretty with very good breackfast and pretty private beach. Beds are crazy uncomfortable with very bad pillows, so uncomfortable that it was very hard to sleep or relax. The hotel located about 5 min walk from the Cetara. U have to walk down the narrow road, would be scary with kids. I would not return to that hotel because of the beds and pillows. I usually dont pay a lot of attention to a hotel rooms but i need to have a comfortable bed.

This hotel is a gem!! The private beach access alone makes it a must stay! The food by the beach is great and the beach chairs and easy water access means you can stay out there all day. Bring your water shoes because the small rocks when you're getting in and out are a little rough. The hotel is right at the beginning of the Amalfi Coast and although you can drive from there to the most popular destinations on the coast, there is no need to because you are a 8 minute walk to the town of Cetara which is an embarkation point for all of the water ferry's that affordably take you to any of the destination cities on the coast you might want to visit. The hotel is very well run and the breakfast every morning is TOP notch!!! The only thing we weren't impressed with is the main dining restaurant which during our stay was a lot of pomp, and low on taste and options. Overall everything tied to the hotel (not the main dinner restaurant) was FIRST RATE and gets my highest rating for a must stay on the Amalfi Coast!
