The property was excellent, quiet, comfortable, very clean, great location to relax at. Rooms we're quite big for Europe. The town of Maratea was close to the resort. Staff was very helpful expecially Lina and Roberto.

The property is large and allows a quality inclusive experience with it's size and elevation. There is a fee to access the beach, but it was still worth the beauty and privacy. We were able to really relax at the hotel and enjoy Maratea. It's an amazing coast.

Staff at the pool were amazing, kids club staff, unreal. Restaurant staff downstairs (only one) kinda rude lacked any speed and seemed upset we even showed up. Room was fantastic, pool so great seeing you’re staying literally on top of a mountain, be ready for a crazy drive up. With an amazing view when you get there. The front desk staff varies, some amazing and kind and helpful, others when you could find them, seemed to just avoid eye contact and run away…it was strange. We lazed, dreamily by the pool and enjoyed our time. Be aware there is only 1 or 2 restaurants within walking. Both were fantastic we made it to the closest one twice as we refused to eat downstairs more than once. And it was so fantastic we had to go again. Our daughter didn’t want to leave she had such a fun time with kids club which in turn gave us a good relaxed time as well.

Great views, great service and overall great stay.
We had a very relaxing two night stay. We enjoyed a meal the first evening at the hotel restaurant. Great service and delicious food! I mentioned it was our anniversary trip and they surprised us with a cake for dessert. Also, they are knowledgeable about gluten free requirements and provide gluten free bread upon request. The hotel provides a shuttle to their private beach(not many gluten free food options at the beach snack bar but I was able to get a salad) and also into the town upon request for a small fee. The fee was definitely worth it. The room was basic but comfortable and had a balcony with a view of the ocean. We will stay here again if we are ever able to return to this beautiful town.

OK, not great.
Old hotel but clean. The reception is grandiose but the rooms are old and basic. Some apparati in the room are so old that they aren't even functional. Figuring out the old air conditioning controls is not obvious. Nonetheless, the room was comfortable. Periodic shuttles to a clean pebble beach was a plus. Nice breakfast. Evening food is so-so, not high quality Italian by any means. Big problem was we paid for a sea view, were not provided one and when we noticed, we were told that there were none available, meaning that our room had been allocated to someone else. A hotel that loses room reservations: not a good sign. The next day, we were moved to another room with sea view but which had less amenities (even though it was slated to be a "superior room"). Management gave us an inexpensive bottle of Asti and some old soft biscotti to compensate, which I personally found to be insulting because they probably figured that dumb tourists wouldn't know the difference. So it was disappointing to say the least.

Dear Mr. Michel, we thank you for sharing you experience. To give the right information you have reserved a double standard room and the assigned room was standard with view on the pool and on the sea but you didn't like it, we have offered a change in a superior room with the same view but on the sixth floor (two floors up) and was one of the refurbished room. All rooms has the same amenities. We are sorry that you don't have appreciated the efforts to enjoy your stay. Best regards Giovanni Spina - Front Office Manager

Disappointing hotel facilities
Disturbed by local weddings, the swimming pool was closed early for the banquet... The pool was the only modern touch of this resort. The rest of the facilities including the rooms are very outdated and poorly maintained. Location remains the only reason to stay close to the status of Christ the Redeemer of Maratea.

I stayed here five days-- it was strange in that we were almost the only guests in the very large hotel resort. So, we got really special treatment and didn't need to wait for anything. And we got to know the staff which is always rewarding. The view of the ocean and the Christ redeemer statue was awesome. Food was good-- although I'm afraid a lot of food was wasted as they still offered us full menus. The hotel is a drive away from the towns, so you need a car to go anywhere. All in all, very charming.

First of all, we were struck by the beauty of the surroundings, and the whole concept of the hotel. The view from our balcony( and from most if not all the rooms) is amazing, the sea down below looks like a picture from a fairy tale. The staff was very amiable and helpful, breakfast was great, although we stayed there towards the end of the season. A wonderful experience indeed.

Awesome staff and breakfast but rundown structure
We stayed one week. Will list some good and bad.. The good is the breakfast. Awesome and fresh and local selection and the staff is always willing to accommodate you, great service and people. The beach is awesome, the staff there is awesome too and the snacks. The towels and chairs are free and so is the shuttle so if you don’t speak Italian make sure you insist as my husband doesn’t speak and when he asked they said it was 3 euros a person. The parking at the bottom is also free, there are some men (not young) who try to take your money, beware. Cons, hotel to beach is 10 min by car. The hotel is old and rundown. Insects as in grasshoppers are up to 4 inches long, a few in the room. The first floor is where you have them and it’s the most run down floor. The maids are very good. The beds are not real beds or of very poor quality, they are low and creaky, my back and neck still hurt. The shower head was very slow to pass water. Parking is free, resort of a very past theme buy nice. Very nice and clean pool.

Disappointing and dated
Hotel was once grand but now rather tired particularly in the bedrooms. Ours had a wet carpet seemingly from the air conditioning unit and a dated bathroom including terrible scaled up shower head, with a view of the car park. Upon check in the music from the terrace was so loud I had to shout to the receptionist to be heard (this is no exaggeration). There was explanation until I asked and was told was a wedding taking place, with no accompanying apology for the inconvenience of the noise which continued into the evening. Breakfast was a disappointing affair with poor coffee (from an automated machine rather than served fresh), and a huge selection of pastries and cakes all of which were stale and dry. It is also inconvenient for eating out in Maratea town so I'd suggest a b&b in town would be a much better option.

We decided at the last minute to have a family getaway for my wife's birthday. We booked a suite at Grand Resort Hotel Pianetamaratea that morning and arrived that afternoon. The staff was instantly welcoming. My little kids enjoyed the space of the hotel and the suite after the long car ride. I told the staff at check in it was my wife's birthday and I wanted to do something at dinner. They told me they got it. At the restaurant during desert the staff brought out a cake, sang happy birthday and made the moment special. The rest of the stay the staff ensure to wish my wife happy birthday. Additionally at breakfast the staff happily greeted my family. The room was clean and spacious. The kids had a room, the parents had there own, everyone enjoyed the amazing view. I highly recommend this diamond in the rough. There are local beaches, shopping for souvenirs, and restaurants in the area. A++

Secluded hotel
For people who are looking for a quiet, secluded place, for a true tranquility. The hotel itself needs renovation. The airconditioning is not working properly, don't expect any help from a receptionist regarding that, except a promise that she/he will send someone to fix it, which will never happen. The view is magnificent.

La struttura è molto bella ed offre una vista fantastica, ma qui ci fermiamo, il ristorante alla carte non è in funzione, la pizzeria non è in funzione, il ristorante a buffet non offre un servizio da Grand Hotel o da un 4 stelle, e vista l ubicazione dell Hotel diventa una costrizione per gli ospiti se non automuniti. Le camere poste al settimo piano risultano essere ben arredate e di grandi dimensioni. Il personale risulta essere sempre cortese e disponibile, una particolare menzione va al metre Sig.r Roberto ed alla receptionist Giulua M.
