ميك بيستوم هوتل

Lovely property. Not much to do there. It’s a small resort like town without a lot to do other than the beach and the pool.

This is one of the most beautiful and unique hotels that we have ever stayed in throughout the world. It's like going on our honeymoon all over again. The accommodations were amazing! Everything was so creative and unusual, from the sea-through giant hot tub to the high-heel chairs in the lobby. And it was in the middle of no-where very close to the wonderful ruins of Paestum. A real find at the right price. They are, however, in need of a casual dining room on site for nighttime.

The hotel is situated in an economically challenged area. As a result their are few good restaurants, only pizza places. The food in the hotel is dreadful, Don't be tempted to go for half or full board if offered. You need a hire car if you are not going to go hungry! Two good places we found are: Antiche Mura Grill & Wine, in the town, and Heretic which is about just before you get to Agripoli. Both do great steaks, especially Anticje which is comparable to Gouchos for food quality, There is no bar service at the main pool, and the pool is closed from 12.00 until 4.00 pm on days when there are weddings at the hotel (most days have a wedding). The Jacuzzi on the upper level has a bar, but service is very slow. I think the hotel struggles to recruit staff due to it's location, Everything is liveable with so long as you rent a car, but if you are used to and expect Hilton/Marriot 5* levels of service you want to avoid, The wifi is poor and you cannot stream video. The TV;s are old and don't have HDMI in or casting from PC capability. A few corners of the hotel, and the lifts show this place is quite old but has probably been refurbed around 5 years ago,

Fahd the grounds man was an excellent help to us throughout. The breakfast staff always found a tray to take breakfast to my wife and grand daughter in our rooms. There wasn’t a pedal bin in the bedroom, only a small one in the bathroom. No English speaking tv stations, not even cnn or bbc.

Quiet not too many people Clean staff helpful Dislike weddings every night music was too loud but enjoyed seeing wedding venue

Overall it was a lovely holiday with plenty of relaxing and tanning. I would say this is a good hotel for those looking for a quiet and relaxing holiday as you are in a residential part of Italy so there aren't tonnes of things to do locally. However the Amalfi Coast, Capri and Salerno are all nearby which are good to explore. Locally you have a lovely beach and the temple of Athena, the local restaurants are very nice. The downside for us was the hotel is a busy wedding venue and so 4 out of our 7 night, there was a wedding being held for a few hours at the hotel which restricted our use of the pools and other services at the hotel. This was inconvenient but did not ruin our holiday. I would still recommend the area and the hotel, just be aware that there may be a few disruptions.

An extremely stylish hotel but feel it should be rated 4* not 5*. very luxurious "arty" decor & surroundings. Has limited meal options in the evening - 1 set menu. It's proximity to the wonderful Temples of Pastum is its main bonus and the area is not a resort: just near a little hill top village with medieval streets. Do not think you are going to the hilly, photogenic coast from Sorrento to Ravello. Just a collection of little shops and private houses plus couple of pizza places within walking distance . Very clean wide sandy beaches with woods behind them. NO sea front. It is an area of faded 1970's camping and hotel sites (many closed) for Italian families. I actually liked this natural unspoilt approach as the hotel itself was of quality and beach was 3 mins walk down a lane. Sunloungers, cafe and umbrellas on spotless beach cost 15 euros per room per day for B&B guests which I think is a ripoff and should be free , given the price of the room. Could do with more comfortable loungers round the pool with umbrellas. Smallish hotel and and masses of places to sit. Travellers used to modern resorts and rows of shops and bars need to look elsewhere. Pompeii is a good hours drive away. The hotel must make its money from luxurious weddings that happen mainly over the weekend ie main pool closed at 3.00 pm to guests on the Fri we were there. Smaller pool and sun terraces remained open. I enjoyed staying there as an interesting experience for 3 days but that was enough.

Great staff, lovely hotel. Few nice restaurants locally too.

Hotel was great. Especially the hot tub. Clean and comfortable. Wish we could’ve stayed longer.

Very nice hotel , a little bit in the middle of nowhere , very noisy in the morning but good stay overall!
