but they offer a very good and effective shuttle bus to all guests and we never had any problem with this and used it in a few occasions.

There is a shuttle bus which is free to take you into Sorrento and runs until 23:30 which is really good.

There are courtesy shuttle buses all day and evening if you do want to go and spend time there.

The Tui reps were very nice and accommodating, we did not book trips direct with Tui and chose to do these ourselves utilising the shuttle bus to get to Sorrento, please note this has to be booked the day before.

The rooftop bar has great views and the shuttle bus down to Sorrento is very good with regular time slots that you can book onto.

The shuttle bus was a holiday-saver (one of my two stars).

Shuttle bus very handy and always on time we used it every day down to the town and back.

The daily shuttle bus into Sorrento provides an excellent service.

Shuttle bus into Sorrento is a great service and runs regularly.

Shuttle bus to/from Sorrento every hour,  takes about 15-20min.

Sorrento: 15-20 minutes on the shuttle bus, which we used around 4-5 times.

Shuttle bus is key as to walk outside the grounds is to take your life in your hands - Italian driving has not improved since the Circus Maximus.

We loved using the shuttle bus to Sorrento, so easy to organise.

Shuttle bus to sorrento great reliable and so useful for getting into Sorrento which is lovely

First impressions poor you have to drag your cases up two hills to reception and do the return as you leave no welcoming members of staff to assist - your luggage is taken to your room

Make sure do the welcome meeting as they take you to Sorrento to get your bearings and show you where to get the shuttle buses etc and the sunset bar at the hotel is a must as the views are amazing!

There is a very useful regular shuttle bus to the town.

The shuttle bus to Sorrento is quick and easy and it makes the local area very accessible.

Shuttle bus into Sorrento, again excellent.

Shuttle bus to town was a great bonus and we always got booked in with the times we wanted.

Very friendly and cannot do enough for you.

Our room was dated yet spotless with friendly maid service the views at this hotel are to die for.

Just got back 2 days ago from a most fantastic week at the Nastro with my husband :)

Spotlessly clean, fantastic location, friendly staff that bent over backwards to help and serve you!

The hotel has a real authentic charm and the grounds are kept beautiful, staff were friendly and we couldn’t praise the bar staff more!

Staff we lovely and friendly, even the mersiable ones I think on put it on for effect.

The staff are lovely, so friendly and welcoming and work very hard to ensure you have a good holiday.

Her young colleagues, Marina & Evan on the entertainment team also friendly & enthusiastic

All staff very friendly and helpful, particularly in the restaurant as my partner had an allergy and Vincenzo went through each dish he could have.

Having said all this it’s still a good hotel and the Nastro staff, with the service they provide, their warm welcome, and their friendly Italian charm is just a credit to the hotel.

The food was great, with a mixture of a la carte and buffet, the staff you could t fault them, all so helpful and friendly, the bar by the main pool was great, you could have any drink you want and it was open all day apart from when lunch was being served,

The hotel was lovely, the staff were absolutely fantastic, extremely friendly.

The maid service was great and she was super friendly and always on hand to help.

Special thanks to Giovanni,Giuseppe and Marco, the younger staff members who were always friendly and helpful.

The staff were amazing, so friendly and attentive and the food was great.

Firstly all the staff are so friendly, especially the bar manager he is a very funny character and the restaurant manager was lovely, the Other men behind bar were always so friendly too and made great cocktails!

The best thing about this hotel is the staff, from the reception staff to the bar and restaurant staff…everyone goes above and beyond and are always very friendly and welcoming.

Friendly, helpful nothing too much trouble.

My husband booked this trip as a romantic break after our children left for university.Had I known the hotel was running down to close for the end of the season I wouldn’t have gone.

Overall, we had a wonderful holiday and the weather was beautiful for early October.

We saw some amazing places on our holiday.

Nastro Azzurro has been our favourite holiday destination of recent years.

My Husband and I, my son and his fiancée had an amazing holiday at Nastro Azzuro in September 2022.

but I have stayed at two other TUI Blue resorts for relaxing breaks over the years & I was really impressed with the overall quality.

It was one of the best holidays I think we have been on!

STAFF
The staff was one of our favourite parts of our holiday.

We had a brilliant holiday and I would have happily returned if it were not going to Half Board next year.

Very dissapointing holiday though still enjoyed my week

They elevate the hotel to a higher level and we are very grateful for their superb service during our holiday.

So thank you Nastro Azzurro,we had a lovely holiday,Just please sort out your ignorant staff.

Thanks Nastro Azzurro for a great holiday.

Although the holiday has gone well with good service.

All he staff are a credit to this hotel and really went out of their way to make our holiday memorable, especially Giuseppe and Vincenzo (Vinnie) in the restaurant and not forgetting Carmeni and Erica in the bar area.

We enjoyed a fabulous holiday for the last week in June and first week in July.

After a wonderful holiday here last year, we returned and have had another perfect week.

I’d recommend this hotel, if you want a nice quiet break, it’s very relaxed, staff can’t do enough ti help, ignore the negative reviews

The restaurant is in the main building where breakfast and evening meal are served, we did have one evening meal around the pool area which was nice, the food was very good.

The hotel has two pool areas, one classed as ‘the quiet pool’ where we spent most of our time - no need to rush and reserve spots anywhere as there was always plenty of space.

Garden area and jacuzzi’s 
All jacuzzi’s out of order.

The photos in the TUI website and the hotel website do misrepresent the main pool area – the pictures show divan style sunbeds with blue cushions

The pool area is clean and relaxing, despite some of the photographs posted i can assure you it is well maintained.

but spotless inside and out rooms cleaned daily and food spot on and fresh every day staff excellent pool areas clean and tidy would definitely return next year

lovely hotel with warm welcoming hotel staff team & great TUI reps. Facilities are clean and comfortable,super pool areas and amazing food.

The drinks were good quality   The pool areas were nice once they heated the main pool shortly after we arrived and there is enough good quality sun loungers for everyone.

The views from the hotel and its Sunset bar and pool area are amazing.

The pool staff were tidying up the pool area and we had good banter with myself learning a little Italian.

Cleanliness definitely needs sorting in public areas, cigarette ends in the same place all week, never swept once, pool area needs cleaning every evening, as same rubbish on the floor every morning.

The pool area is really nice and the sun deck is worth enjoying - it’s not that far from the pool or pool bar.

The pool  area was lovely with plenty of beds and a heated pool .

The pool area had stunning views (mountains and sea), sunbeds were comfortable, the pool warm enough for a wimp like me not to flinch on entry and the whole area kept clean with a bar and a restaurant within paces of your sunbed - what more could you wish for, especially when you were as lucky as we were with the weather?

Pool area was immaculately clean and tidy with pristine sunbeds and was a really relaxing area with great attention from the staff at the pool bar.

The pool area and beds look brand new and to me the resort doesn’t look run down as some of the reviews suggested.

but equally some facilities are really poor.

The gym is poor, no window, smells mouldy & the equipment is very tired/rusty in places.

Firstly food was not of my taste poor choices not warm cold deserts poor choice load of flys outside lunch eating area food not coverd up discusting after two days never bothered eating lunch and went into sorrento town to eat typical all inclusive crap food junk for the thousands we paid what a waste of money it was.

Agree with other comments, coffee in the morning was poor

-Sunbeds were in a poor state and my husbands collapsed under him.

Again finish around pool area is poor and needs some maintenance.

Mostly good poor night on our 25th Anniversary evening pool party spoiled it restaurant shut 45 minute wait for an table, dirty table no service had to call an manager over to get water alone, getting food from the self service otherside of the pool food freezing when getting back to the table not the Anniversary meal we wanted at all we paid 2000 each for this holiday.

Big notable change was the lack of good staff that understand what this hotels once was, no consistency on waiters/bar staff, never seen a bar queue so long where table service is promised….cleaning staff again not enough and definitely not the quality, poor attention to detail, not enough towels one day, no clean the next…
There a some issues with maintenance, had to fix the shower myself, the air con blows warm air and makes a horrible noise at night.

The rest of the interiors weren't much better, including our room and especially the bathroom with its dim, flickery fluorescent lighting and poor fixtures being more what I'd expect in something like an old Travelodge or American budget motel.

The food is average at lunchtime and very poor in the evenings.

but unfortunately this hotel was a very poor experience.

The only downside is that I don’t think that this resort would be suitable for people with poor mobility as there were steep gradients and lots of steps to negotiate outside.

but there are plenty of activities available, don't be put off by poor reviews - it's all what you make of it!

We also felt that the evening entertainment could be improved and more activities offered particularly as we had poor weather.

This is not a 5 due to some much needed repair and maintenance in areas, and the poor gym.

but the rest poor - the continental side was ok but the same every day no variables at all and when the bananas were gone they were gone end of.

Cocktails were poor and drinks service was only good if you was a returning regular.

Orange juice was powdered out of a machine 
Meals you ticked a form to order it came on cold plates with chips no vegetables on the plates at all can only think they were running the food down too
Mini bus to town was handy 
Staff very helpful and nice especially the bar man
Pool was shut 
I could go on
Ps came back with chest infection

This has to be booked a day in advance at reception.

All of the staff at this hotel were all very polite and always welcoming, they all work very hard.

We were greeted with Prosecco on arrival and our luggage whisked to our room.

This was our 5th visit and we were welcomed by Marco and the team with a genuine warmth.

We where welcomed warmly with a glass of fizz and went straight into lunch.

Most of the staff can’t do enough for you.

Sophia our rep was brilliant knows so much and super approachable, we went on the walk around Sorrento with her it was brilliant.

Greeted by our onside Tui rep and vases taken to our rooms.

Staff were lovely, particularly the restaurant staff (and Vincenzo especially) 
Food was lovely and is mixed between buffet style and “a La carte”
It is about 15 mins outside Sorrento

The positives are the views and most of the staff.

but the staff make up for this in bucket loads.

Grand Hotel Nastro Azzurro

pool area

Bathroom size and layout was a little small and both of us banged our legs on the box at the end of the bed.

The bathroom could do with a couple of towel rails and somewhere to put soapbags etc.

Plug in bathroom sink was broken as was the extractor fan.

A bath was out of the question as when fully run was luke warm.

The shower in the bath for instance and the door onto the balcony was not adequately soundproofed.

++ deep bath tub and hand shower head that can be placed on wall (see negatives below)
+ washing line.

Their room didn’t have a wardrobe or chair in the room the shower in both rooms didn’t have a fixture so we could not shower only by hand held .

but the bathroom in ours was a little dated.

The bathroom could do with an upgrade, especially the shower, as it wasn’t particularly powerful.

but the shower over the bath was too small the taps to fill the bath  were on the side and because of this  were  in danger of catching your legs or even falling over think they need a bit of a overhaul.

The bathrooms are small, dated and need updating to power showers as a minimum.

The rooms are small and the showers are tiny.

The rooms are a smidge on the small side as are the bathrooms.

I had to go to reception twice to get shampoo!

The one socket we found that fitted our adapters was in the bathroom!

No water bottles in the room and the pressure of the water in the bath is not strong enough.

!All the staff were so helfull and friendly.

The free courtesy bus was great and the driver was really friendly.

but all of the drivers are very friendly and helpful.

From the moment I arrived the staff at reception were so friendly & helpful.

The bar staff were just simply brilliant - Francesco, Peppe and Tonino need special mentions as they were very friendly,funny, courteous, professional and extremely hard working.

The pool and lounge areas are very well managed and maintained with the the staff being so friendly and very hard working as are all the staff .

The staff are friendly and engaging, the food lovely, the hotel clean and tidy, the shuttle bus into town quick ( è molto divertente:-) ).

We received a friendly welcome at check-in, Reception staff were polite and helpful.

All of the staff from reception, bar, restaurant to room cleaners were extremely helpful and friendly.

Modern with an Italian twist, friendly and welcoming team.

We found all of the staff to be very friendly and helpful.

House keeping was perfect and the staff in the bar and restaurant were very friendly.

A lovely hotel with superb views over Sorrento and Gulf of Naples and extremely helpful, professional and friendly staff.

The staff remember you and are so friendly, welcoming and helpful and it’s always like this.

Every single member of staff we encountered was warm, friendly and couldn’t do enough to help us.

Hotel staff were all exceptionally helpful and friendly.

Bar service too as always efficient and friendly.

The receptionists (Vittoria, Rossella and Lauren) were friendly and efficient in their post throughout our stay - with Lauren going as far as to offer umbrellas for our tours due to the fairness of our skin.

We had Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner and everithing was superb and flavered.

The bar and restaurant were great no complaints and both my kids 10 & 13 loved it.

The menu has section of chef's recommendations, and they were spot-on.

Enjoyed evening meal, breakfast was continental lots of choice.

but it's all well-prepared and very tasty.

Nice room and decent breakfast and restaurant too

Plenty of sun beds and sofas/chairs around to sit in the shade whilst having a light lunch.

From there it's easy to get to the shops, restaurants and piers.

The food is excellent, the facilities are fantastic and the hotel hourly shuttle bus complimentary to and from the town is a major asset to both the hotel and residents.

We arrived late, and the food service had finished .

Food is of an extremely high exceptional standard for both breakfast and evening meals in the grand restaurant and also the lunchtime alfresco dining with restaurant staff delivering an exceptional standard of service , also there is an a la carte menu .

), the food was good -- truly nothing negative to say!!!

On several occasions we had lunch on the terrace and also dined outside one evening - the a la carte menu selections were delicious!

We did have lunch and a dinner there, again, perfect

Staff are dressed in traditional Italian attire across the eating sessions.

Not to mention the wiew witch is one of the best we ever seen.Huge Thank you to each one of the staff .We hope to come back some time.! !

All the staff and facilities are spot on!

First, I have to say, the front-desk staff here was amazing.

THE HOTEL WAS LOVELY AND CLEAN, THE STAFF SO VERY HELPFUL.

Reception staff were all terrific, really helpful with giving all sorts of info..

Especially thankful to Vittoria and Loren at the front desk - they were both amazing!

It is the staff that make this hotel what it is.

Beautiful terrace, wonderful staff will miss Sorrento,  thank you to all the staff  at Aminta for making our holiday fantastic

The hotel staff cannot do enough for you and you are always greeted with smiles, politeness and courtesy .

Staff at reception were really helpful too.

Staff was great, views are incredible, the pool and jacuzzi were fabulous, the free shuttle to Sorrento's center made life so much easier (the taxis in Sorrento are expensive!

This was extended throughout our stay by every member of staff.

Nothing was ever too much trouble and we were always met with a warm welcome and a smile.

In all, the hotel is nice and clean, the staff are lovely and I recommend it.

The location was perfect and the views over the bay were breathtaking.

What a great place to stay, I stayed with my family, from my original booking I upgraded to better rooms which was well worth it as we got the the top floor rooms with the most fantastic views.

shuttle bus or a 20 min stunning walk down.

The views of Mount vesuvius from hotel are stunning.

And its views are fantastic from up the hill are fantastic!

but the major draw was the friendliness of the staff and those views

THE VEIWS FROM OUR ROOM AND HOTEL WERE MAGNIFICENT.

For all the beauty of the hotel and its views, the rooms are underwhelming, sparsely decorated with cheap items, and somewhat dated.

It did have a view over a weird piece of roof line to the town, the sea  and across to Vesuvius.

They have a pool and hot tub and a pool bar where you can get a nice Aperol spritz in the evening and enjoy the panoramic views.

A lovely sophisticated hotel with fantastic views high over Sorrento during the day and the evening from high up where fireworks come up to you .

Our room (406) on the 4th floor was immaculately presented with a stunning view from the balcony.

The bar being outside was lovely, great place to relax and enjoy the views over Sorrento and the Gulf of Naples - the views from the hotel were stunning.

My family and I stayed here for 7 nights from 31/8, the hotel is situated on a hill that overlooks Sorrento and if you have a superior  balcony room you get a view of Mount Vesuvius as well.

Reading lounge, spa/gym, pool showers and changing rooms and stunning views over Sorrento on the outside terrace.

Shuttle bus every hour to Sorrento, with an excellent driver.

although hot there was cooling breeze, and there is a very handy shuttle bus to and from the hotel to Sorrento which we used constantly.

The hotel provide a free friendly bus shuttle every hour which is ideal and runs from 8am to 11pm.

The hourly shuttle bus into town takes just 10mins and was a God send.

The shuttle bus to Sorrento town and back is a game changer, you will not fancy the walk down, most of it has no pavement and the driving is very hectic.

Shuttle bus runs like clockwork, never had to worry about getting a sun bed always plenty what ever time you go down .

The hourly shuttle bus suited us and we made several trips into Sorrento both day and evening to sample the atmosphere.

The hotel is up very high and would not be easy to get to if not for the excellent shuttle bus service provided which runs back and forth into Sorrento on the hour from early until late.

Shuttle bus to centre of Sorrento is brilliant - always on time, every hour.

Plus you get the shuttle bus to sorrento every hour which is great.

Lovely location just out of town with a complimentary shuttle bus down into Sorrento hourly return.

There is a very convenient shuttle bus into Sorrento which takes 10 minutes and leaves on the hour every hour between 9am & 11pm

A very efficient shuttle bus runs hourly to Sorrento Town from early morning to around 11pm.

Well connected with the hourly shuttle bus service & very punctual driver.
