"The hotel was extremely well maintain and the staff were soooo friendly. There are so many added benefits that we did not expect! The first was the breakfast service! Before the night, you fill out a slip to order your breakfast with a drop off time. The next morning they bring you the breakfast to eat on your beautiful balcony. The view and the balcony was amazing. The hotel sits right above Franco's Bar (where people wait in line to catch a view of the sunset), which honestly yields a better view! The sunsets were extraordinary on the balcony. They have recline chairs for you to relax on and every sunset was amazing! The staff was soo friendly and helpful! One of the mornings we had our breakfast eaten by pigeons (don't leave your breakfast unattended) and they brought us up some extra food they had on handy no questions asked! Another added benefit is before you leave the hotel you drop off your keys to the front desk and when you come back to the hotel you pick your key back up. Makes exploring the town and going to the beach much easier without having to worry about losing your keys! Would 1000% recommend booking for anyone considering staying in Positano"

"Incredible, one of a kind stay at the Poseidon! Not only is the hotel property itself amazing (pool, restaurant, bar, secret bar, balcony rooms, stunning views) AND the staff are the most helpful (booked dinner reservations, booked a hair appointment for my wife, predict all your needs), BUT ALSO the location might be the best in Positano. It is right on the main (only) road going down towards the beach so you have an easy, gradual walk past all the main shopping as well as right next to the main stairs for a fast-track to the beach. We will stay here everytime we go to Positano! Grazie mille!"

Every spot in the hotel had beautiful views of Positano! We could walk about 350 stairs to the beach area of Positano, which was convenient (and a workout!). The breakfast was super delicious!
