This hotel was fantastic. I booked with the intention of proposing to my girlfriend and I'd book this hotel again.
The staff were extremely friendly and kind, they all spoke excellent English which isn't a requirement or expectation from me when traveling (after all, I am a guest in their country) but is very appreciative!
We were a little restricted due to our vegetarian diet choice, but we always assume this will be the case anywhere. The restaurant in the hotel itself is fantastic! The staff there were amazing and there was one waiter in particular who made us feel very cared for.
The beach, the bar and the swimming pool are all fantastic. We didn't make use of the spa as it doesn't interest us personally and the price was high enough that we didn't think "Eh let's give it a shot, why not.".
The sea view room we stayed in was well furnished, clean and the view of Vesuvius was gorgeous.
My only criticisms of the hotel are that it's location isn't fantastic (there's not much they can do about it - they offer shuttles from Vico Equense train station for €3 pp) and I wish there were more shaded common areas to sit. Most of the sitting areas serve a specific function such as the bar. There are benches but they're not in a shaded area and it gets very hot.
Also if the hotel considered opening a little shop to buy drinks, snacks, etc, this would be much more appreciated as the vending machines leave much to be desired between meals.
