My wife and I visited Amalfi for the final leg of our honeymoon. We stayed for 5 nights at Grand Hotel Excelsior, and were very impressed by the level of service they provide. From the moment we arrived, the staff made every effort to help us, be it carrying bags, parking the car, showing us the layout of the hotel, explaining dining options/hours, and outlining the shuttle schedule. The bar service was excellent, filled with very attentive and kind bartenders. The food at the hotel restaurant was exceptional, and although we only ate there once, it would have been an easy decision to eat there every night. Overall, the amenities is what set this hotel apart. The pool and pool deck overlooking Amalfi is one of a kind, and unmatched. The shuttle to and from town is invaluable. And, above all, the private beach access is the crown jewel. We could have easily spent another week there. As for the hotel upkeep: the entire building is spotless, it is clear house keeping does an amazing job. The rooms could use a few small upgrades, mainly furniture and decor, as well as new lighting and carpeting in hallways; but these are minor in the grand scheme of all this hotel has to offer. We had an unforgettable time, and are very thankful to the staff for their above-and-beyond service.
