Grand Hotel Pianeta Maratea Resort Reviews

We visited during a rather wet may so sadly we weren’t able to enjoy the outside pool area which looked nice if outdated. The entire hotel was stuck in the 80’s - facilities largely clean but very tired looking. The hotel is in need of modernisation (facilitators and style). The rooms were spacious and had a lovely balcony with sea view , but again the bathroom was outdated and grotty. This is a good place to stay for a night or two but I would not choose to stay for longer. There is little to do in the area.

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.

We loved the view, the pool and staff were very friendly and helpful. If we had to complain it would be the daily music was too loud and the coffee was awful.

The hotel is big, but you can see that it is old. It's clean, but looks like it's stuck in a different era. Probably 30-40 years ago this was a top travel destination. The food in the hotel was very good and the view from the window. However, the beach is quite far away so you have to use the hotel shuttle which is not always available

Amazing views…great service…good room. The room appeared updated. Beautiful pool. We were only there for one night. The negative reviews I read did not resonate at all. Good parking options too. The winding roads up to the hotel are crazy!

Great location with a wonderful view: the see on one side and the mountain on the other. We had a great service and stay before and after our wedding, celebrated in the hotel. The rooms were clean and bright, and could be even better if renewed.

We stayed here for two weeks in July, I'd have rated It 4/5 except that the animation was the worst ever seen, ti the point of endangering Kids. I'd strongly reccomend ti change the provider because the perosnell was clearly not qualified nor had any interesse in perfoing the job well. If you are a family looking for some relax you May want to find a different place. On a minor note the take away lunch on the lasr day was a bad joke, poor and badly prepared.

Don't expect the glamorous side of the 80s. When checking in, you'll certainly notice the 80s decor, which is neverending in this hotel. It's not the nice throwback retro style that's popular these days, but the actual thing. To update entirely would be so expensive, I guess they're just leaving it this way. In the 80s, this hotel must've been top notch, now it's just old crap and a huge fixer upper. I still had a nice time; beds were good, view is amazing and there's a nice balcony. Breakfast is reasonable; if you're into sweet, you'll be happy. If you're longing for warm, fresh bread and all sorts of cheeses, go elsewhere. Kindness of staff was ok; when checking in, there was a quick hello and key exchange, that was it; no smile, no welcome and certainly no information. Later at the bar downstairs we were treated very nice and kind. Wi-Fi was too weak in the room, though perfect at the pool. The loud music at the pool was horrendous. What's that all about?! Would I visit again? No. If I could turn back time (no pun intended), would I choose the same hotel? Yes, just because of the comfort of the room (great airco!) and the view/location.

We have been guest in the hotel as a group of motorcycles riders And as always as a Tourguide I was happy how roberto took care of us!!!!! He is a restaurant manager what you look for if you need some and on top you got Theresa on the reception she makes you feel home when you check in. Thanks again for everything Axel

Pianeta Maratea is an amazing place to stay and have as a base to discover this beautiful region of Italy. The view of the sea and of the Christ is stunning. People that work at the hotel, like Roberto “Le Maître” made us feel better than at home : like kings. I have been coming to the hotel for more than 8 years and every time the service has been excellent. I even decided to celebrate my birthday having a party here with my family and friends and we all loved it. We are definitely coming back to Pianeta Maratea next year.

We had dinner at the Nuvole, menu a la carte. It was fantastic and we got the best service and food ever! The surroundings of the hotel and the view from there is spectacular, a must see!

The only photo which is accurate is of the pool. It was nice. Everything else was tired and cheap. The service was sloppy, the food inedible and they charge for everything - water, pool towels, the shuttle bus to the beach - everything. The rooms had cheap and worn bedding, the furniture was scuffed. They also allow dogs so a large German Shepherd barked to wake us in the morning and was left unattended by its owners in the room. It is also 11 km out of the village, so very isolated.

First off to all the people who complain the hotel is dated, get over it! Most of Southern Italy is in 80s -90s mode ,get over it and embrace it and go back to easier ,happier times. With that being said, my party spent 3 great nights here. Rooms were spic and span and overlooked the fantastic pool area. Hotel featured nighttime entertainment by Italian Singer Alan Soul. Shuttles to town ,the statue of Christ and to the hotel beach were clean ,safe and on time. The dinners we had in the hotel were excellent and featured local fish and local cuts of pasta. The food was very high end complimented by excellent wines from Basilicata. The local cake from Martea was great and the Rum baba was the best we ever had. Special kudos to Aurora and Laura at the desk.Aurora is self taught and speaks flawless English. Special thanks to Maitre D Roberto who we knew from a prior stay who made sure to take care of us in an excellent way. He is a true pro and he will take care of you very well. At our meals we were also assisted by "Gino" who also was excellent and took care of us very well. Americans ,skip the Amalfi coast and have some adventure and travel to this beautiful hotel in Maratea!

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.
