Hotel Mega Mare

Fantastically located hotel, with a fantastic view of the Bay of Sorrento. Large room and good bed. The dog lacks the option to make coffee and tea itself. However, it can be bought at the hotel.

We stayed at this property, breathtaking view, but with many negative aspects. The hotel is very dated, both in its decor, where you can smell a musty odor, and especially in its electrical system; in the room, the chandelier light kept losing power, and the air conditioning system was ancient, and furthermore, it was turned off in the morning, according to them so as not to make the cleaning staff sick, otherwise they would have been forced to clean themselves. It was reactivated after 1:00 PM, so in the room, you would die of heat since it was August; when we asked, unaware, why it wasn't working, they replied that it was fine that day and it was an exaggeration to complain. In the bathroom, there was always a very strong smell of sewage, disgusting, especially in the morning. Breakfast was very, very poor; to get the single-serving Nutella, you had to ask the staff, something we discovered after 2 days of staying there, not seeing it among the jams and honey we thought it wasn't there, but instead we saw that another couple had asked and they gave it to them; at 10 o'clock sharp they close the door to the dining room and turn off the air conditioning, so if you are finishing breakfast, you will find yourself dripping with sweat. Having a gluten intolerance and having notified them months in advance, I was allowed 2 slices of cold, untoasted packaged sandwich bread per day and only 1 small package of packaged cookies per day; if you asked for another slice of bread or another small package, they wouldn't give it to you; these were the only options for me. The pool is very beautiful, for heaven's sake, but if it was windy, they would close the umbrellas attached to the lounge chairs with nails, and therefore there was no shade in the entire pool area; you were forced to leave given the scorching sun. Demotivated staff, you had to ask for a service multiple times and they would answer you barely enough; the WiFi in the room doesn't connect, and neither does your own connection, so you are cut off from the world; sheets upon arrival had hairs and lint; check-in is at 3:30 PM, so you already lose half the day; if you ask for the possibility of leaving your bags and using the pool, it is denied, both for check-in and check-out, things that ALL the other hotels we have stayed at do. In conclusion, the worst hotel on the Sorrento Peninsula.

We gave Hotel Mega Mare 2 out of 5 stars. The view from this hotel is absolutely stunning, and if you’re only looking for an incredible sea view, then it’s definitely worth considering. Unfortunately, there were several issues that really affected our stay. When we first arrived, the hotel manager was quite rude while explaining that we had to hand our room key back to reception every time we left the hotel, even if we were just going to the pool. We also had to hand in the key for the safe, which felt very strange and inconvenient. If you don’t have a car or a moped, I wouldn’t recommend staying here. There is no convenient public transport nearby, and the nearest bus stop is about a 30-minute walk away along a very busy and dangerous road, especially in the heat. Another disappointing rule was that you aren’t allowed to bring your own food to the pool area. You have to buy food from the hotel’s menu, which is very limited (mainly paninis). If you’re expecting proper food on-site, you’re probably better off booking a hotel with a full restaurant. The lack of Wi-Fi in the rooms is unacceptable in 2026. Because of this, my wife had to rely on mobile data throughout our stay and ended up with a huge phone bill from her service provider. That said, a huge shoutout to Naveen, who was by far the nicest and most welcoming member of staff. He was always friendly, helpful, and made us feel welcome. He truly deserves a raise! Finally, the breakfast was absolutely diabolical and one of the worst we’ve experienced. Overall, the spectacular view is the hotel’s biggest selling point, but unfortunately it wasn’t enough to make up for the poor customer service, inconvenient rules, lack of facilities, and disappointing breakfast.
