No doubt about it, the views of the bay and Vesuvius are spectacular including the stunning sunsets. A nice relaxed feeling with mainly older guests.The hotels staff are very friendly and helpful, they gave us a free upgrade to our room which has a balcony overlooking the bay. The room was basic had no wardrobe just a rail with hangers, very little cupboard space. The bath was a bit of a joke, it was so narrow almost impossible to get in and out of, the taps and shower were in the middle of the bath so unless you wanted scolded legs when running the water, I would forget it.
Because the hotel is completely tiled throughout it can be quite noisy, the walls are paper this so can here all goings on next door!
Food and drink are very very expensive, expect to take a second mortgage out, example a beer is €6 a small sandwich €9 or €10, we eat in once in the hotel restaurant, a two course evening meal cost €90 with a bottle of house wine, though the food quality is very good.
The hotel curtesy bus in to Sorrento was good and punctual, without it it would be a very hard and long walk back to the hotel due to the steep climb.
Would I come back to the Aminta? Probably not, but Sorrento, definitely yes.

We loved this hotel. Although it is out of town, we did not find this a problem at all. The hourly shuttle bus was punctual ( except when he was waiting for us running up the road to catch the bus!). We walked down to town a few times and if you are reasonably fit and able then it is a pleasant 15 minute walk down to Sorrento using a twisting back street. If you are going to the station or harbour, it is a longer walk but still perfectly manageable. I preferred being out of town away from the busy tourist streets. It was quiet at night. The views from the hotel are fantastic and I loved sitting at breakfast looking across the bay towards Vesuvius and Naples. The staff were all friendly and helpful. We were in the Annex building - Villa Aminta which was a short pleasant walk past olive, lemon and orange trees and grape vines. Our room was upgraded to one with a view across beautiful countryside. The room was always clean and although it was described as an economy room, ours was a good size and had everything we needed. The pool was also well kept and clean and very pleasant to swim in, even in October.

The food for both lunch on the terrace and dinner in the restaurant was excellent. The views are brilliant. We found the hotel very 70's, crazy paving terraces, shower curtains over the bath, melamine bedroom furniture, although everything was clean and money had been spent on modernising the reception and lobby. The staff were friendly and efficient.

Room tip: Rooms with views towards Sorrento are the best

I really did like the Aminta! The staff where absolutely lovely and the pool and bar and food was lovely. I wasn’t a massive fan of the Aminta villa would’ve been nice to have stayed in the main complex area but was very peaceful and beautiful hotel and surrounding where gorgeous!

Italy is a beautiful country, but because of the chaotic transportation strikes we will not go back to Italy. A few hours before our plane was to depart, KLM informed us that our flight had been cancelled due to an airport strike in Italy. We lost a day but were able to re-book our flight. After being in Italy for seven days we discovered another strike was to hap[pen in two days. After returning home, we learned another transportation strike was scheduled for October 27. This is three strikes in just over three weeks. These strikes cause chaos and economic hardship for both Italians and tourists. Do not go to Italy unless you are fully aware of this continuing problem.

We stayed at the Grand Hotel Aminta for five nights, and discovered many guests love this hotel and quite a few were very disappointed. The main frustration is the distance of the hotel to Sorrento, and the difficulty getting there. The hotel provides a complimentary shuttle to and from Sorrento, but it is only once an hour and there is no service from noon to 3PM (1500). There is a City bus that stops at the hotel, but many tourists (including us) may prefer a hotel that is much closer to Sorrento. Our room was fairly large, quiet, comfortable, and the bed was firm. The bathroom was OK, but when I used the toilet my knees banged against the bathtub. The closet (wardrobe) in our room was terrible - the wood was warped, and the drawers would only open or close with great effort, and closed with a loud bang. Several plastic hangers had sharp barbs on them, and I impaled my finger the first time I grabbed one. I have never seen hangers like this at any hotel! I spoke to two of the employees at the front desk about these hangers, but they did not seem to be concerned about guests getting impaled, cut, or possibly getting an infection from these hangers. The breakfast was OK, but the pastry consistently tasted stale and the fruit tasted as though it was canned fruit. We had previously stayed at a 2 star hotel in Sorrento (Hotel Mignon) and the food there was far superior to this hotel. With the exception of the hangers, most of the hotel staff were friendly and helpful.
