Firstly, dont believe all you read from negative reviews about this hotel.
We have just returned from honeymooning for a week at the Hotel Parco Del Sole, untraditionally with our two young daughters and to be honest, after reading reviews ourselves, we were slightly worried we had picked the wrong hotel and resort. We couldn't have been more wrong.
This hotel, whilst a little dated in the decor and furnishings, is totally outstanding. The staff, from management to the cleaners are very friendly, helpful and approachable. Cleaniness appeared to be paramount, both inside and outside, the pool and outdoor toilets were always immaculately kept. The rooms and bathrooms were cleaned everyday to a very high standard and new towels were always provided. The rooms also had free air-con which was gratefully received.
Food was excellent, whether we chose from the al-a-carte menu or simply wanted pizza and the service provided by the waiters was second to none.
Admittedly, there was no entertainment during the day and only an organist in the evening from about 9pm but having two young children who were ready for bed not long after, we didnt miss any rowdy disco's at night or noisy, distrubtive poolside activities during the day. It only meant that we spent quality time with our daughters in a pool that wasn't overcrowded and intimidating.
Sorrento was an approximate 30 minute walk from the hotel which is literally in a straight line. Whilst the traffic is very busy, the pavements are wide enough for a pram and so we didnt face any problems. There is a free shuttle bus which runs from the hotel shortly after dinner and returns at 11.15pm and if you miss that, its 5 mins in a taxi, albeit 17 euros.
All in all, we loved everything about this holiday and wouldn't hesitate to return. We read reviews that said this place wasn't suitable for families with young children, we disagree. If you love spending quality time with your young ones and are happy to be in a peaceful, friendly hotel and faultless resort, this is definately the place to come!

The entrance to the hotel is impressive. The hotel is very clean the rooms were fine although our batroom was quite small. The air conditioning was a great help and free.
Although situated on the outskirts of sorrneto, access was easy by bus or train.The Busses were Line A or C.,get on and off in the main Tasso square.
The pool area was good and even in August there were beds available.
The food was ok and the breafast basic and repetative
If you go out of the hotel turn right then first left, that leads you to the coastal views, very nice. Everywhere is accessible by public transport, Pompeii and Amalfi were done by Train or bus at a fraction of the organised trip cost.
Be aware things are very expensive.

We booked in for two nights but as soon as we were taken past the reception area we knew we made a mistake. I have never seen an hotel which made such a lasting impression on my wife, as soon as we were shown into our room she went straight to the bathroom and burst into tears. The staff were indeed friendly and helpful but I cannot understand how anyone can give this a good rating. We have stayed in 5star hotes in Rome for another €10 per night.

The staff were very helpful particularly the waiters and the food was excellent. The rooms were kept immaculately clean. Lovely hotel! Downside not much entertainment in the evening someone plays a keyboard and sings at around 9 o'clock not at all lively. No entertainment /activities in the day. Easy to walk into Sorrento traffic a nightmare though. We had a wonderful holiday everything is within easy reach.
